Gig: Freeza All Ages, Toora. 6th May 2000    Reviewed: Mon, 9th Dec 2002 by Gru
6th May 2000
Freeza All Age Show, Toora
with Another Race, Big Charlie, (and another band that started with S?)

Gavin proved they still have what it takes to get those young kids rockin' at a recent Freeza gig at Toora hall, Toora. Supporting a bunch of heavy ass Slipknot-Korn crazed maniacs, gavin diluted the teenage angst with a mix of pop-rock perfection and had all but the bad-assed bands themselves dancing it on.

Opening the set was Secret Things, with its hard rock intro and relatable theme, the crowd were instantly puzzled by these once teenage melancholy balladeers.
The moody but powerful I want to believe saw a sentimental side of the adolescents appear, that was thought to be extinct. The power pop antics of Orange Slime and A Tale of Two Cities filled the kids with enough fizzy-lifting drink to blast Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to the moon. As did the now well rehearsed To Catch A King.
And if you thought it was impossible to dance to Matthew - Toora Hall proved that you are very much mistaken.


how much would you pay for one of these back-stage passes?

Gavin didn't completely leave their "heavy funk, it's only a phase" crew completely in the lurch, treating them shortly to the 80's heavy metal composition The Green Children and the rap-crap ridiculousness of Shadow Warriors.

Earning a new respect among the hundreds of young Toora Teenagers, gavin are worth four stars at this five-star gig...
