At least they're playing sideshows in your city D:

haha, thanks all. i realised after i posted this that it would've been a better idea to post this somewhere with more sydneysiders or whatever. but this is the only forum i visit with any regularity, or have a username at)

to negative creep: I tried! i spoke to some dude at the show but he didn't really volunteer anything in the conversation... most people there were friendly enough but still kind of standoffish. and i didn't want to come off as clingy and/or stalker-ish. guess i just have to go to heaps of shows and stike up conversation with people i recognise.

Grammar: a girlfriend is not the point. (although just so you know i'm not kidding myself, that would be kind of cool).

valley_parade: hairstyle punk as in horrible third-wave emo bands and their ilk. OMG lyk i luv the used!

anyhoo.
show was awesome.
what was weird was that the next day i was walking up george street telling my friends about this show when i see the singer from the headline band walking past. i told him good gig.
a coincidence? i think so!

and guys, last night i saw brian wilson's band for free in a park. i did not expect to get so bloody HAPPY off that music. but i did. wow.
but i'll stop now cos this is not the music forum.

Dogg why on Earth would you do that unless it was to surprise me with beer.

Are you planning to surprise me with beer? That would be neat.

And I feel for the OP. I really cannot talk to people at shows. Not because I am not a social person but because there is never enough of a social vibe. There's never really a "scene" theres just a bunch of cliques that are kind of closed off. Basically the only way I manage to meet people at shows is if I go for a smoke out the front, there might be some minor small talk and it never pans out to much.

To be fair, this doesn't apply to metal shows in the slightest. Making friends at metal shows is basically a matter of going through a series of initiation rituals like getting as drunk as possible and joining in the massive group singalong to the Judas Priest song coming over the PA between bands.

<3 the Brisbane metal scene so much

And because you don't want to be the kind of arsehole who forks out good money to be in the same room as a band, then talks loudly throughout the entire set, almost completely ignoring the music, thus ruining the night of everyone else who wants to actually enjoy the music, right? Right?
