I didn't actually TRY to go to a concert. A concert HAPPENED to me instead.
A friend had bought tickets to see the Grates in Brisbane. One of the ticket buyers pulled out leaving her with a leftover ticket with a few hours to spare. She invited me to use the ticket for free so I did - more with a sense of guilty penance for being a bad friend than any desire to go to the concert.
We arrived and I decided immediately that I love the Tivoli. It's grand look mixed with the grunge of a young crowd drinking and hollering good-naturedly was heady.
Then the band came on and it was the atmosphere that was awesome. Not to mention the choice of clothes by the lead singer. Any girl who sings "Science is Golden" while leaping around the stage in a cute pink tutu skirt and braces has me enthralled.
I bought their new album at the end of the night and replayed it over and over and over and over at work for the next few weeks.
I haven't TAKEN the opportunity to go to another concert but if the Grates concert was anything to go off I sure should.
