the gavin boys rockin up the big stuff...

FIRST up though were P-76, who started the set off with a big catchy rock and roll riff track grabbing the attention of a lot of the gathering Inferno crowd.
This was short lived however as the band then turtled on to some extremely slow and almost depressing Ballard’s of love and life gone sour. Not even playing their new triple J single could save them by the end of the set as the crowd had decided that the beer and conversation were far more interesting. It would have been a reasonable performance however if the venue had resembled a seedy singles bar or Benny’s cesspit. This layed the red carpet down in front of gavin.

If ever there has been a lot expected of a rock n’ roll band in the past, it could surely not equal the expectations of gavin that were rising from the bored shitless Killing Heidi hungry crowd....

Well and truly dying to here some crazy rock-pop numbers, the crowd was treated to an amazing set by gavin, the four piece South Gippsland youngsters. Opening with a powerful new ballard I want to believe and following on with an energetic rendtion of Orange Slime, Inferno had almost forgotten Killing Heidi were on next.
Not resting for a second but instead blasting into Secret Things and Jellybeans, the band had the perfect opportunity to preview the remaining tracks off their new EP A Tale of Two Cities...
When it seemed that they had reached their peak they completely grabbed the 1000 plus crowd by the genitals and launched into the perfect power pop sounds of the title track of the EP and the roof came crashing down. Never had the Traralgon crowd been so blown away and mesmerised by a seemingly unknown support band.

Most crowd members feeling nauseous or in a state of complete shock had to go home forgetting their precious Killing Heidi because they were sure nothing could beat the memorable performance they had just witnessed.
