I know this post technically isn't about a Brisbane concert, but I was there and The Grates are a favourite of mine. This was a killer show, well worth downloading!

31.10.2011 - The Grates
Flew down to Melbourne for a holiday to see some mates, so we got tickets to see the Grates. I saw them last Friday and they were good but this concert blew it out of the water.
The Hifi was packed, a sold out show on the eve of Halloween. The band came out covered in blood, members of the crowd in costume. I can't describe how incredible the vibe was. Same set as the Brisbane show sadly but still great.
Can't wait to see them again!
EDIT:
Found this photo online, taken with a Holga. I love it!

28.10.2011 - The Grates
I've been really slack with my taping lately, tonight was no exception. Left my gear at home because I woke up literally just before the gig and rushed out.
Exceptional show, although it seems Miranda (Bass/Keys) was absent - not sure if that's how the whole tour will be. The Tivoli is a fantastic venue, the crowd wasn't as packed as the last Brisbane show but they still went nuts.
Can't really complain about this gig, the guys were as amazing as ever. There was some audio problems with Patience's microphone for a bit during Carve Your Name (I think it was that song anyway) but the crowd filled in the words. I thought the lighting was a bit lack luster since it was a show at the Tiv and not a little bar or something but thats just me being picky. Overall the show was bloody fantastic and I had a amazing time.
Flying down to Melbourne on Monday to see some friends, looks like we are all going to see The Grates at the HiFi that night! I won't be taping but I know a recording will surface shortly after so look out for it!

What a show!
I cannot believe the amount of energy Patience has. Interesting to see the Grates go from a 3 piece band, to a 2 piece band with 2 other members at live shows.
Setlist:
01 - Carve Your Name
02 - Science Is Golden
03 - Earthquake
04 - Like You Could Have It All
05 - Milk Eyes
06 - 19-20-20
07 - Two Kinds Of Right
08 - Change
09 - Sweet Dreams
10 - Rock Boys
11 - Borrowed Skin
12 - Feels Like Pain (Patience crowd surfing)
13 - Young Pricks
14 - Burn Bridges
15 - Turn Me On
[Encore]
16 - Trampoline
17 - Aw Yeah
Personally, I love the new songs and it was great to hear them live. Patience crowd surfing was fantastic, and her monster suit with confetti in the encore was great. Will be sure to see them next time they are in town. Got the all clear from the guys to tape this show.
First time recording with my sub-cardioid caps. I love the sound but got some mild bass distortion, despite running my levels low, powering on 12V, line in and having no level peaks. Probably didn't help that I stack taped. Regardless, it's barely noticeable.
