review -the workers club sat 20th aug

We did it. We made it. Collingwood is the it. Lynton is tall and beside him its like the Tom Cruise effect and i look for ways to accentuate whats i got. Its shortness shorty you got short. I pay me way in and its like i paid for a tram ticket. NERD. Lynton waltzes in unnoticed. I pay for it. So the workers club is one of the hep joints if Melby-toon, indie nexus/solar plexus. USAs The Nothing People were performing as part of their Australian tour, and they were supported by the Free Choice duo, Mondo Phase band and Naked on the Vague.
Its that misty dark venue greyness,the peoples listless from a week keeping melbournes economy pumping, sink some brews and whatever you do, dont dance. I only manage to catch two acts, i even miss the headliners. Free Choice Duo distribute sublime synthetic data packets. We are Europeanized to the hilt. Top buttons done up, no tie. Heavy referencing of the Jean Michel Jarre school of franco-phonic space musics. No vocals. Members are statuesque at their data-entry stations. Audience wilts, eyes glaze over, my muscles shimmy to the early eightees analogue pulse. Oh analogue synth , yours is a timeless beauty. Always in style. Class. classic with a Kay.....
Next up was Mondo Phase Band, professional and super tight, Chrome-addled (and shamelessly derivitive - but hey! its Chrome! who cares!) rifferama, the Helios Creed creed, psych metal. Guitarist wears a Monoshock tee. hair is cut to emphasize fringe. Blonde. Thurston-esque.
Melbourne. No hatchet job reviews. Lets make this work. Big city. Big bad city.
