a secret sung

fiendss
your humble bumbling hero did well
a lovely venue
a big crowd
an appreciative bunch
the triffids played like demons
i came on 2/3 rds the way thru
sing stolen property
everything goes according to plan
the words now lodged in my head
i am free to interpret
what an amazing song
it goes down great
next lonely stretch
wow
we knock it dead
next wide open road
good but not as good as the others
encore :field of glass
i go to fucking town
running about screaming myself horse
i fall to my knees
i wave me bloody arms about
i give it everything
i let my mind shutup
and i let my voice just roar n sing
the words all come off their carousel in my head
i nail it
i nail it good
no major cock-ups
some minor timing issues,,,nothing more
what a great nite
im knackered
go home
eschew after party bollocks
tomorrow : bimbadgen winery
ok
i'm well on course
love
kilbey

Good luck tomorrow!

Good to hear you're happy with your vocal delivery. Hopefully something will surface on youtube. I saw the Triffids once in the 80s but at a time I was more into Virgin Prunes and The Fall.. in other words, I did not get them at that time. And in case you ever return to the smirking detached SK.. no one did that better than you ;)

davem said...

Brilliant.
My effing hero!!
xx

Mavellous said...

You did nail it good lassnite, Esskay...
T'was most fine, fine, fine.

Oh and what a knockout gig!
All my fave peoples, giving me all my fave Triff tunes...
I felt so humbled.

Love...

princey said...

He's right fiendsss, our humble hero transformed into a wild panther on stage last night!!! (not a mangy one tho). Sk, I couldnt believe it was you singing up there last night, you were fantastic, so much energy and feeling put into those 4songs, if I closed my eyes I don't htink I would have recognised it was my fav singer up there!!! The band was great and Ricky on drums was a bonus too, hes a natural! I realised last night David McComb wrote alot about LUV, about the heartbreak, the sadness, the longing and a bit of happiness too, he had a way with words,thats for sure.
A fantastic night, thanx Triffs & Friends
Have a safe trip back home sk, Melby's gonna miss u :(
love Amanda

Melbournemary said...

I second Princey. The gig awesome and you were amazing SK

Nice review Amanda. Plaudits and Accolades for the one and only SK.

Finn said...

Congratulations Mr. Kilbey. Sounds awesome. I've just decided to put on Born Sandy Devotional, which I only recently got thanks to your blog. It's interesting, I don't know it well yet.

captain mission said...

played the new shriek cd last night for the first time. i posted a review in 'wombat' but i'll just state here for the record... 'wow.'
certainly unlike anything that precedes it, it's exceptional in it's uniqueness. it was love at first play. congratulations to all involved. amazing music and your vocals just seem to get better and better all the time.
i wish i could have seen the triffid show, i am really unfamiliar with their music but i'm sure they are a great band.

CSTCoach said...

sounds like you knocked it outta the fucking park, killa!!!!

Just listened to excerpts from the soundtrack - the Squid lies down on Voss Bender Avenue or something.
You'll be touring with the Mars Volta next. Love it.

I saw the first Triff show in Sydney - your voicec was ragged but glorious, Congrats for last night

Hellbound Heart said...

ross b said...

Dear Mr.Kilbey,turn off these incessant disrespectful anonymous commentors.It is beyond pathetic.

Great to hear about the successful gig Steve, must have been very gratifying doing those brilliant songs with the guys. Keep it up!

Thanks for the photo link eek.
What I’d like to see is the encore performance turn up on YouTube or somethin’.
It surely must have been spectacular!

Re the anon comments here.
Please just go somewhere else? This can't bring you any pleasure? There's so much shit in the world. My cousin's just committed suicide 'cos he was so low and couldn't see a way out.....and you bring this??????? I really, really don't get it. Or you. Please fuck off.

seoigh said...

I would seriously pay to watch that match. A couple of bruises would be a small price to pay to get some peace on this board. Hell, that's all any of us are looking for with your kind of music, Killer. That someone has to disrupt and otherwise zenful little spot on the web is just a damn rotten shame.

Peace. You know I'm always rooting for you.

markobears said...

ouch

Richard said...

I suppose that this is a good move - but it will give the prick the satisfaction of knowing you're his first (and only reader).

davem said...

Can't blame you SK.
Sad sad sad man is an apt description.
Hope the shows are going well.
Really excited about the releases due in the next month or two!

Hellbound Heart said...

go steve, kick some ass mate!!
love always....

y waste ur time steve? shit splatters

MAC said...

Kilbey, you kicked... seriously!!
Been watching you behind the bass for 29 years, admiring the lyrics and loving the music. But if I didn't witness this with my own eyes and ears, I wouldn't believe you could perform like you did Thursday night! Long live The Triffids, bless Dave McComb and rock on SK!!!!!!!
- Love you always, MAC :-)

Bon said...

I fear that lame Barry seeks to soil my good name by using my moniker. I made no comments to any bearded folk. If there be arse kicking to be done and you need some local support, old fella, let me know...I'm only a suburb away.

Not that I endorse violence, mind you. Just arse kicking.
