Fuck yeah can't wait for that Dan. If one thing besides the man himself was really great last night, it was the lighting I reckon :)

Amazing show!!

Contrive, well what can be said? BAD sound and BAD songs. A weird mix of 'alternative/post metal' thrash, Haugys drums were wwwwwwwwwwayyyyy off, all the cymbals in the world cant hide that. Also playing for 20 seconds doesnt equal a drum solo.

Hevy Devy was awesome, cant believe they played 'Om'!  :headbang:

Yep - Was an amazing show! The lights were great, the sound was horrible though :(

Dev was loving it up there and it really showed. A few of us met him before he left the venue and he was truly humble, as were the other guys in the band.

Awesome night!

Andrew Haug's drum solo struck an uncanny resemblance to Ken Owen's drum solo circa Wacken 2008 don't you think?  :sick:

Dev - Awesome show.

What can be said about Contrive that hasn't already been said about Afghanistan. Fetid!
Very amusing when Haugie #2 said that Perth was giving them the best response of the whole tour!

What a fucking great set by Dev & co., INDEED, though was a bit surprised to hear NOTHING from Synchestra (and no Christeen!) Oh well.
Highlights for me were Truth, OM, Seventh Wave, Namaste, Colour Your World!! I can now die happy.

Woah, best show I have ever seen, no doubt (sound aside). Such a genuinely nice and humble guy when we met him afterwards, he even seemed quite emotional and overwhelmed by the crowds response. Heres some crappy pics I took from the barrier http://img214.imageshack.us/g/img0332pd.jpg/

I was standing up the back, and at one point i took my eyes of the stage, only to turn around and have him staring right at me ripping out a solo. I looked at him he looked at me and we both pulled a busted up head.
I think we bonded. :laugh:

Did anyone think it was brutally loud? My fucking ears were ooted afterwards.

Oh, so Contrive is *that* Andrew Haug?

*checks* Wikipedia says yes.

fuck me, I came in and they were playing a song with no vocals, and I thought they were an instrumental group. thought "eh, they're a bit sloppy but they don't seem as bad as everyone says they are". But then they played two more songs. Yowzers.
