Laneways was hot and crowded, a bad place to find a beer in a hurry. Girls, Yuck and the Horrors were worth the wait. A friend said that that the line-up was a bit indie wimpy and I agree. More thrash next time please. How about Royal Headache and Total Control from Australia, the Screaming Females, Milk Music and The Men from the USA, the UKâs Black Tambourines and Christchurchâs gift from the rock gods, the T54âs? If you need some alt wimpy, give us TV Girl.
