Matt Finish rock at the bay




Although committed to a wedding on the Saturday afternoon and evening I still managed to catch a set of the boys at Warners at the bay www.warnersatthebay.com.au on Saturday night. I have always had a passion for three piece bands tight, no room for error and no one to carry anyone. Believe me on Saturday night none of this was even remotely evident. Original band member John Prior led the charge with some fantastic work on the drums. Surely in reflection he must be one of the best drummers the country has produced over the past 25 years, I am no music critic but I think I have seen live bands to make this comment.

The one exciting aspect of the evening is the boys were really enjoying themselves. In a time where many bands should hang up their instruments and voice before entering a retirement village these boys are fresh, talented and dare I show my age and say “entertaining”. Check out some of the photos below from the Saturday night gig. Short note was the last song of the evening (how fitting) a brief moment with eyes closed and you could drift back to a time when Matt Moffit had an unique stage presence with the band but this is 2009 and the current band is well worth seeing. I hope this is not a one of for the boys but they make Newcastle a regular haunt without a doubt I will be going to see them next time.
