Try as you might, its just not possible to make it to each and
every gavin gig. So as a public service we have provided these
reviews -written by members of the band, fans, punters, and
general hangers on - so that You, the reader, can live
a little of the rock & roll lifestyle that may come as
second nature to us but is sometimes unfortunately out of
reach of regular, more together, members of society.
DISCLAIMER: Gavin take no responsibility for the appropriateness or correctness
of any of the following articles. It is possible that they
may be loosely based on actual events, but it is more than
likely they are complete fabrications.

Tuesday November 14
Inpress Now Playing presents
Sweet Chuck, Gavin, 20Centuries review
Sweetchuck attracted the largest crowd for the night. They didn't disappoint with a power pop/punk approach. Catchy songs well played with style.
Gavin were a revelation. Owing a debt to You Am I they put on an intense performance. The singer stood out with a great voice and lots of passion shown on stage...

Greyhound Hotel
With a small crowd of good friends, gavin opened the show in surprising fashion with the pop/shlock favourite Jellybeans - probably the best version ever performed by the band. And the EP favourite Secret Things graciously followed it...
Unfortuantly, this graciousness only lasted until the second chorus of the final track of the Tale of two cities ep ("ep plug" - A Tale of Two Cities by gavin...

Tarwin with Should

Riverview Hotel, Tarwin Lower with Should
A mix of
poor stage sound, bad amplifier placement, out of tune guitars, a rotten
set list, free beer and one of the worst encores in the history of rock
