sharplittleteethI was right. Dandelion Wine were good. Very good.
Ethereal Dead Can Dance-esque vocals. Dulcimers, both Appalachian and hammered. And some swirly, trip-hop beats underneath. There was even some jazz flute, played over power-chord guitar. Had a bit of a Jethro Tull flashback there, but it was still good. Occasionally the singer veered a bit too close to jazz funk for both my tastes and her voice. But mostly it was swirling and lush and hypnotic. Perfect music for a winter's night in Melbourne.
The cute, daggy redhead on vocals didn't hurt, either.
We saw them at the Rob Roy. Which seems to be a nice little pub for bands. The red velvet curtains behind the stage were a nice touch.
(Hmm...
The Devastations are playing there on the same night as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
