Parkway Drive - The DVD Tour with August Burns Red and Architects and Dead Kings, Canberra

Click here for a professional review of the gig.

Parkway Drive with August Burns Red and Architect and Dead Kings. Southern Cross Woden Basketball Club. It was an awesome gig.

I think the gig was the closest thing I've got too any 'action' if you catch my drift. LOL With the place packed like a tin of sardines, the person behind me jumping behind me humped a hole in my jeans (actually the hole was there already), and my Thrill Seeker CD booklet, which I brought to get signed but in the end it didn't, got all rumpled up. Well at least I was standing next to a girl too so at least it wasn't all that gay. LOL Anyway the gig was awesome. The crowd was alive, the bands were heavy. For me the highlight was seeing August Burns Red. Frontman Jack Luhrs was very expressive, and guitarist JB Brubaker was interacting with the crowd. It was worth going to see Parkway Drive a second time too. Clearly they are much loved in Australia. People were crowd surfing, moshing, jumping. The place was alive.

Honestly, I'm probably not the best headbanger around. Wish I knew the songs better. And in the live settings when the words aren't that audible and drums are too loud, sometimes I couldn't tell what the song was. But it was good fun.

From what I can remember: ( in no particular order, and this is obviously not the complete setlist)
Architect: Early Grave, Dethroned
August Burns Red: Back Burner, The Truth Of A Liar, Meddler
Parkway Drive: Boneyards, Idol and Anchors, Dead Man's Chest, Horizons, Gimme a D, Guns For Show,Knives For Pros, Romance Is Dead, Smoke 'Em If Ya Got 'Em, Feed Them To The Pigs, and a new song which I can't remember the name of.

Bought a few tees, got the new Parkway Drive DVD which I managed to get signed. All in all a good day out. Too bad had to rush back to Unilodge for a assignment meeting. One day later and my body still kinda aches. I'm too old for this shit.

Just a few pics.
