blankface do ding dong

i haven't done much in the way of craftiness this week. i think after the rush of finishing the recycle dress and getting ready for the halloween party that i over extended my creative juices a bit. i have been powering up with some hardcore naps this week though. my favourite kind of nap is in the afternoon in early summer with the window open and the sun streaming in. there's something peaceful about hearing the murmur of traffic and trams mixed in with the birds and people talking as the sun warms you from head to toe while you drift in and out of sleep. hasn't been too much of that kind of kip though. bloody melbourne. it's the start of november for goodness sake and it's still as cold as a witches tit and raining all the time. harumph. ok ok i still love you ye olde melbourne town.

anyway as i haven't been creating this week i thought i would write about my awesome, wonderful, lovely bestest friend in the world's band. they're called blankface distortion and i went to see them tonight. it is widely acknowledged that i am their no. 1 fan and i was even offered the role of president of the fan club, a position i have gladly accepted. i said i would need a big desk and cat to fulfil the role. pretty sure they thought i was joking. i wasn't. i have seen them play at least 10 times and they are never the same twice. when i first saw them a half hour set would consist of possibly two really long jamming songs but now they've really tightened it up. everyone asks me to describe their sound but there is just no way to pin it down. there are guitars, drums, synths (my bfffffff nick's domain), keys and the latest addition, a sax. all i can say is it's thoughtful music that gets your toe tapping and converts everyone that hears it. every gig they play always attracts people up to the stage at the end to gush over how great they are. so in summary if you see a listing for blankface distortion playing somewhere check them out. you'll love it.
