MF Doom

The Overlord MC Supremo of Stones Throw Records MF Doom did eventually grace the front room stage at The Espy some 2 weeks ago; after suffering from an unknown ailment across the seas in New Zealand.

And what a show it was! The gig recorded a sell-out crowd, with punters elbowing their way amongst each other in order to catch a glimpse of our masked MC hero. The set featured a great list of tracks including Figaro, Sofa King, Americas Most Blunted and many more -including 2 encores that sent the crowd nuts.

Im sure all of those heads that attended thought it a great show, from which is compiled the featured video of People, Places, And Things LIVE-courtesy of yours truly. Enjoy.

Barbariön

This band heralds the mother of all Epic Rock: personified by seven sweaty, medieval-clad musicians. Emblazoning the stage with their dress; each wearing a unique style depicting dark ages stereotypes including a celt, viking, vandal, grim reaper etc; as they behold powers of flame, life and deathbefore your very eyes.

Myles Tauchert and Frankie Gionfriddo front the stage as a pair of marauding behemoths of legendary proportions. Their sacraficial publicity campaign notes that the Barbariön ”stage show combines historically inaccurate, sexually ambiguous, highly flammable costumes with hastily assembled pyrotechnics in confined spaces, along with carefully choreographed guitar moves and plenty of exposed flesh. There is rarely a dull moment. Furthermore, we hold the mantle of the heaviest band in Melbourne with a combined weight of nearly 1500lbs!” -all volume of which will muscle in on any crowd, as Richard Kelly unleashes his relentless death-drum mantra.

These axe-wielding metal maniacs this year went pillaging on an East Coast Big Day Out tour and only this weekend do they release their big-budget cinematic video film clip triumph for their smashing single My Rock.

This clip is destined to rock your world -check it out:

Babarion - Video Clip Launch at The Tote, Collingwood Saturday 16th April.

Arrrggghhh!
