Calling Sydney

Not much happening here currently, except that it was raining a whole lot – almost two weeks – followed by a sunny and warm weekend (beach, finally again!) and again followed by cold temperature with sunshine.

Whoever told me before my departure it wouldn’t be could in Sydney, was apparently wrong. Or, well, it’s not as cold as in Europe (especially northern parts of Europe), but it probably just feels as cold since the houses are not isolated.

Happy first of May to everybody! Enjoy the day off. It’s not a holiday in Australia, so I had to go to work today. Whatever, I’m increasingly realizing that there’s not much time left until my return and I still have so many things to finish here. So no time for holidays anyway.

However, I did get to see some local bands recently (balance is important!), and if you’re interested, here are the better ones (and all from very different genres too).

Cloud Control
Folk, prepared in a very indie-fashion-like style

Yves Klein Blue
Brag magazine described them as a mix of Libertines and The Strokes

Cassette Kids
“summoning the likes of Bjork, The Klaxons and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs into a mixtape akin to a well dressed Berlin Wall coming down in a New York Basement”

Grafton Primary
“Drawing on a wealth of musical knowledge from classical to new romance, synth-wave and electro, Grafton Primary craft tunes that are designed to score well on the test of time.”
