were awesome. Super Awesome. Don't stop me exaggerating because it is actually *impossible* to exaggerate how awesome they were. Espy went off as usual, but the highlight was seeing the awesome turn out for Sounds Like Chicken's last show. I don't think I have or will see again so many scene kids in the one room. It was an awesome effort for an awesome band.
If you don't know, SLC have been a stalwart of young ska for about 5 years (I believe). They certainly had a huge following in Melbourne and weren't afraid of touring out of their comfort zone to play shows with a huge variety of other bands. It's fascinating to see where those who were young teenagers when ska had it's late 90's revival have taken their experience of the genre. SLC added hardcore and metal and the fact that they are all solid players meant they could pull off the blend and perform exciting, energising shows. They left a great legacy in their many recordings and although they'll be missed I heard a rumour of a new project from some of the members and can't wait to see what transpires.
Oh and, well, I certainly wouldn't want to go to Come Together - I heard Los Cap is playing... How Embarrasing...
