Videos: Peter Escott / Carl Higgs / Splash Mountain
A fortnight ago was the 'first' Noise Etc Live show. I was pretty nervous but excessively excited at the same time. I'd never organised a group of musicians to play at a venue before. Turns out its pretty easy, so I'll probably organise more in the future if I can find suitable performers to prod and pester. The vague idea of a Noise Etc Live series was to promote and feature musicians who might not play live as often as I'd hope. So, for August 17, I asked Peter Escott to debut his electronic experiments; Carl Higgs to make his once-a-year solo appearance (though, he did play a few days later as a duo with Charles Du Cane); and Splash Mountain to try and make a proper debut.
Most of the night went according to plan (Splash Mountain were still a little unprepared, but they did clear the 10-minute mark as I awkwardly claimed in promo), and the turnout was decent enough for a Wednesday night local show. It was fun and I fully plan on organising more every few months if I can find performers willing to participate. If anyone has any hidden solo/side/bedroom-projects that they want to present to little Hobart town, do get in touch.
Below are three videos from the night, click through at the bottom to watch a few more, including Peter cover Morrissey and Carl cover Chris Isaak. Covers.
Peter wrote this song on the night, about the night. The first minute or so didn't get filmed but I'll spoil it for you - it's about his work shirt that he didn't get the chance to change out of.
Carl's upbeat Italo Disco track. Fun, fun, fun.
Splash Mountain's first song of their 12 minute set.

ReplyDeleteInteresting comment. I don't really know what to compare them too, I liked their surfy stuff.
ReplyDeleteDon't be anon though.
