Oh yes it rocked!

We had a great time at Bluesroom last Wednesday the 22nd of March. The crowd was amped and that made us push harder. People were really enjoying – Make u mine and Sinatra. Hey thats nice considering that Make u mine is only a two gigs old. My favourite bands of the nite were Desmond and the Tutus (mad, funky and highly, highly original rock – you must check them out!) and Obita (jamming, hip hop fusion).

Pictures of that gig are coming soon. For now check out the pics from the Bluesroom acoustic nite the week before. This was a very different gig and we decided to try some new things – with Andrew playing on a very minimalist drum kit and doing more singing than drumming. The Politics came thru and put on an awesome show!! Very versatile band with a diverse sounds. Was a chilled nite of great tunes.

PS - We really enjoyed the acoustic gig at Bluesroom last Tuesday the 14th. Big thank you to all those who came thru in support. You guys give us great inspiration :-0
Andrew (our drummer) ventured out from behind the safety of his drum kit and did some amazing harmonies. We kept the crowd entertained way past their bedtime. Favourite songs of the nite for me were - the tricky jazz chord-melody of "Cry me a river" (always good to step out of your comfort zone every now and again!!), Taxi Receipt, Make you mine (brand new ELIXA song) and the powerful, rocking Shout Hello.
