Last night Ruth, Danny and I headed to Northcote for the evening. We started with dinner at Otsumami on High Street, which is sort of like a Japanese tapas place. We shared a few dishes and it was very good. After a wander around High Street we had dessert at Delphi Continental Cakes and then headed to a bar where one of Ruth's friends was having an engagement party (and we got to watch the second half of the Australian Open women's final).
The next stop was the Northcote Social Club where Icecream Hands were reuniting for one night to play their entire 1999 album Sweeter Than The Radio from start to finish. This is probably my favorite album of theirs, and it was especially fantastic to hear "Spiritlevel Windowsill," "Dodgy," "Yellow & Blue," and "Giving It All Away." There was a big crowd sing-along for their hit single "Nipple." You would never know that they haven't played together in a few years as they sounded great. The encore consisted of two covers and then it was all over. Hopefully we will be lucky enough to get some more shows like this in the future.
Here's a clip of Icecream Hands on Hey Hey, It's Saturday back in the day playing "Spiritlevel Windowsill"
