Bachelor of Arts

Firstly, when a venue tells me that a band is due to go on at 10pm, and said band doesn't get on stage until much closer to 11pm, I get cranky.

Secondly, when I'm there with my 9-5er friend who gets grumpier and grumpier because we should have been leaving for home by 11pm, I get cranky.

Thirdly, When the band we are subjected to prior to the band we came to see are fairly average in all respects, yep you guessed it – I get cranky.

So keep those three points in mind when I say that Bachelor of Arts were good. Damn good, in fact. I didn't know the names of the songs or the band from a bar of soap when they began, but dammit if it didn't get me tapping my feet and make me forget about all the crankiness. I reluctantly left about half way through their set (it was bloody late for a school night at this point) but that half-set left such an impression on me that I already have all their upcoming dates penciled into my diary and their three-track single on it's way in the mail.

This is a young band who show a heck of a lot of promise. I guarantee you'll be hearing a lot more from these guys.
