Aussie rules

To think I almost didn't go to the Courtney Barnett gig at Tramshed on Wednesday.

Talking to the Guardian's Andrew Stafford in November about the tracks on her latest album Things Take Time, Take Time, she stressed: "I love playing loud and aggressive and disjointed music, and I love that songs can have different lives. So I'm sure they'll get a bit faster, get a bit more energy, get a bit more raucous." And so it proved, though I still wasn't prepared for just how different - and how much better - they, and she, would be in live performance.

Plus we were also treated to the bonus of a support slot from unique pop oddballs Audiobooks - a pleasant surprise if ever there was one.

Buzz review here.
