this week: flaming lips, a thousand shipwrecks and the innocent folk

This week has been a pretty awesome week. Poker night on Tuesday. Then went to see The Flaming Lips on Wednesday, which was awesome (there'll be a proper review coming soon).

Last night was also a busy one. first off attended the launch of A Thousand Shipwrecks Maiden Voyage.

A Thousand Shipwrecks is acollective of young Melbourne designers and artists working together on collaborative projects.

We are pleased to present Maiden Voyage, our debut publication promoting young, local and emerging artists and designers.

The launch was held at No Vacancy gallery, a great space for showing off the works, and ITA (who also have a CD included in the publication) played quite an interesting set. I highly recommend picking up a copy of Maiden Voyage.

After that it was off to the Drunken Poet for the debut gig from The Innocent Folk. Given The Innocent folk consist of my friend Fabian on keys and vocals, and my other friend Max (who also plays with me in We Came to be Robots!) on violin, guitar and vocals, it's not really possible for me to give an objective review of the band. But if you're after some soft, slightly melancholic tunes, then go check them out.

Band practice tomorrow. I get to try out my new Dr. Scientist Cosmichorus pedal! Yay!
