Amos Lee - The Basement, Sydney
After what was turning out to be a rely sucky week work-wise, evening escapism was key in getting me through. Tuesday night we went to see Hot Fuzz, and then Wednesday, I was in for a treat as Amos Lee came to visit Sydney.
The Basement is located 2 floors below my first real Sydney job and is a tiny little venue almost purpose built for small intimate gigs. A pretty decent support act played for us before Amos and his small accompaniament of bass guitar and a drummer entered the stage. We'd gotten there pretty early and as such managed to secure some great central spots to stand at.
His voice is pretty unbelievable on his CDs and his live performance really did not let down. By the end of the set I was grinning from ear to ear as it really felt like I was the only person in the room. Absolute Class.
Thursday night cooked up another long hard graft before I met Craig, Jarrad and friends at an opening of a fashion store where I could relieve myself with a free beer. Afterwards a short trip across town and we were able to party it up in Establishment with Mr Burgess getting some stark surprises from some of the local girls ;)
