Just got back from a trip to LA which involved, amongst other things, a
great night at the Anaheim HOB.  Thought the show rocked - as good, if not
better than the shows in chicago that I caught last fall - nice to get a
treat like written in the heart and nearly two hours of live
material........ I thought the shows last fall in Chiacgo were a little
short.  Lurijta way, in my opinion, is one of their best pieces of work
since Trugannini - loved it with the acoustic set up at the front.

Anyway, before they came on the sound guy was playing some good music and
I
was wondering if any of the Aussies there knew who it was.  I tried to ask
the sound guy afterwards, but due to the volume of the show (the loudest
since the Brixton Acadmey (London) in 93/94? - A show so loud that pete
actually commented on the sound level and the need to place a sock or
someting in your ears) and being close to the left bank of speakers at the
front, I could hardly hear what he said.  It sounded like John Burt Trio?
Could this be right?  I'd love to get a hold of some of their stuff, so if
somebody knows exactly who and what it was I would greatly appreciate it.
E-mail me of list, or maybe other workers also liked what they heard.

Rob
