Thanks for recommending this. I checked them out and really enjoyed their music. I can take or leave the vocals, but it might just be a matter of getting used to them. (Death vocals are either my favourite or least favourite thing, depending on how they're done).

I saw RVG a few weeks ago and every song was amazing, but for some reason this one hit hardest (even though it's not directly relatable to my life)

their physicality is so fucking wild

Yes.

This crowd has been watching the European shows for inspiration.

I hope someone is saving Rob's livestream. When the stress of this is all over it's going to be fascinating to go back and watch the backstage footage.

This all reminds me of a little over a decade ago when we got our first listen to Ultraviolence through a horrible live video

The Queen of Melbourne, Romy Vager, and her group RVG.

It's hard to believe this is the entirety of what we got out of the tenth anniversary of UV.

Thank you Elle! I've had the Pink OB theme for so long (because I love it), but the new Peyote one will make a wonderful switch up!

I think it was to do with release day schedules or something. From memory, the first places that it was available in the world were in New Zealand and Australia on 13 June, which was actually 12 June in the US. My copy was in my PO Box at 9am on the 13th (I only ordered it to get the bonus postcards, otherwise I would have gone to buy it in person). It leaked widely a day or two earlier.

It seemed rude to say "Here's some random guy ..."

Trust a music conference to not know how to mic a guitar.

oh brother ...

This reminds me of when you go to a Church for a wedding, and the Priest goes on an hour long tirade because he knows he's got a captive audience.

Just when you think he's run out of room on his Powerpoint page ...

You know what you have to do ...

'Change the setlist' has become the new 'Come to Brazil'. By which I mean, it doesn't matter how much you care about it, if you say it at every opportunity it starts to get boring as hell.

Just rewatching some of what I missed live, and she cuts out the 'But I can't' line in Tunnel, while smiling at the crowd!

Has she sung along to the A&W part before?

She is feeeeeeling these lyrics
