Top 5 live shows I missed in 2008 that I REALLY wish I saw
I’m always scared of anyone that says they live their life with no regrets. They’re the kind of people who are Amway reps, own Anthony Robbins DVDs, know the laws of The Secret and have a Life Coach. Fuck that. Life is one massive regret. I’m not saying you have to wallow in self pity and doubt about missed chances but acknowledgeing regrets/fuck ups is healthy as well as being great fodder for topics of conversation and reasons for increased alcohol consumption, mostly done together. Which is why I thought I’d switch the best gigs threads into the live shows you missed thread.
I can almost guarantee my life would be different (maybe…ahhh probably not) if I had been to at least one or two of these gigs this year. Still, I do really wish I had seen these shows. So, in order…
The Wombats @ The Zoo, Brisbane
Bloc Party @ Riverstage, Brisbane
You Am I @ The Zoo, Brisbane
Vampire Weekend, The Wombats, The Fratellis, The Grates, British India @ Splendor in the Grass, Byron Bay
Paul Dempsey @ The Troubadour, Brisbane
