How much delight can a melbourne music goer bear?

On a night when the rest of the world was huddled around the s/MCG watching everyone from Kylie to Wolfmother and Split Enz, Annie and i headed for Northcote’s Wesley Anne to see the ethereally magnificent Flying Scribble with Pikelet playing solo.

Louise and gray are in very fine form; their new magic shines wonderfully just like the old numbers. gray’s drumming always astonishes and Louisie somehow manages to play 15 instruments at once, pumping out eg bass, organ, accordion and macbook samples.

Yes i was transported again by their beautiful rhythmic genius.

Here they are caught on video back in ’07:

Great News: they’ve finished recording the new album!
Bad news: Shame the wesley still shuts down sound at 11pm.

Who’s Flying Scribble?
