We could forget how to make our way home

I went to Old Manly Boatshed tonight to see Mark Sholtez. He is in different genres depending on the place you look. Blues, Jazz, Lyrical (???), Pop... this guy does everything. I really liked his music and was surprised that I have never heard his stuff before. I don't really like Jazz and was initially weary. Great live and lovely fellows to boot.

Mark Sholtez - 14/05

$20 to get in, which I think is quite resonable. Got a little rowdy towards the end of his set too, much yelling and loud talking. I sound like an old women. I just prefer to be able to hear the music rather then the chatting from young punks (and not so young punks). He also did a cover of 'Sweet Child o' Mine' complete with Axel's snake dance.

Ellie was havin a chat to Mark whilst I got to fulfill my roadie dreams and mind the gear for Bruce (other guitarist). Segue. I have had a few strangers getting me to mind their shit while they go off and do things. It's a compliment to know I look trusting to mind your meal/bag/child(yes!)/guitar stuff but I don't know what I would do if some other person wanted to take your stuff - maybe I would be a little more protective over the child and guitar but I don't really care about your soft drink! It is also difficult when the owner stuffs about and takes longer to get back... do I stay and mind your crap like I said I would??? whats in it for me anyway? Didn't mind minding the guitars, felt like I was 'with the band'... cool factor increase.

I digress...

The gig was great. I will friend him on FB and he said there will be another tour around/after June when the new album comes out. You all should come along!!!! Maybe next time I will go a little closer to the city. Most people there were not there for the music and act accordingly which makes me shake my fist and turn into a grumbling old lady.

New single "We Could Get Lost" is also free on iTunes as single of the week, check it out. This song also appeals to my love of wandering.
