Re: Cog
Sting always reminds me of Fergie of Black eyed peas fame. I went to see his solo show some years back and she was the support act. She stole the show singing from a range of genres. A phenomenal talent - just a pity she has never chosen material that particularly appeals to me.

Re: Cog
Yeah that pretty much sums her up well. Remember seeing black eyed peas in 2004 and thinking she had some mad skills but nothing she's really done since then has appealed

Re: Cog
The Middle & Altered States got a run last year. Drawn Together came out just after this tour started (has been running since January) so ya would have seen 2 out of three of them. I dig all 3 of the new tunes but clearly am a fan boy so potato -potarto.hellboy wrote: ↑Mon Jun 03, 2019 9:56 pmYeah but I think they played all those new songs last year, and they're not that good tbhBusty McCracken wrote: ↑Mon Jun 03, 2019 8:22 pm Well if we were nitpicking they are playing the drawn together tour which is a new song so technically...

Re: Cog
The Cog show on Saturday was excellent as expected. Being a little vertically challenged I didn't manage to see much of Lucius plying his trade but by god he played an awesome set. The mix was great!
Shout out to the support bands as well. A local act called Fyre Byrde - who were a two piece with obvious modeling of White Stripes but still with a unique talent. I'm sure the young guy will contribute a lot more to Aussie music before he's done.
Really enjoyed Osaka Punch as well who I saw opening for Mammal a short while ago and didn't rate. This time they were on and although they are quite poppy they do some great heavy moments as well.
I suspect Clint has been his vocal coach

Re: Cog
So when Metallica cancelled their tour , I of course naturally purchase flights to go see Cog instead in Byron and Brisbane, which is happening next weekend.
And i booked flights with Jetstar. If you've followed the news at all , I'm a chance of having my compensation Metallica show reward also fucking shattered as well. Man I will be pissed!

Re: Cog
You'll be fine, they'll put you on Qantas instead. A proper airline.

Got to interview Luke Gower this week for Heavy Mag. Totally shitting myself in the first minute but settled after that. Bloody top bloke! He's one of my biggest inspirations and influences on bass so man that was an awesome experience to have.

Re: Cog
Well, looks like Cog have sided with FrEeDoM:
All invited. Humans undivided.
As a band, Cog have always been about bringing people together, giving them hope, lifting their spirits up and making sure that everyone feels included and welcome. Our plan is to continue our journey along that same path. We speak as a collective group on the one hand but we are also three individuals with unique perspectives.
Whilst the chaos and madness of the last 2 years continues to mutate we have been patiently awaiting a change that would enable us to play in Brisbane. Sadly, and with intense frustration, the ongoing situation in Queensland still prevents us from performing at the rescheduled Tivoli show. We also risk the possibility of an arbitrary 14 day quarantine at our own expense which we simply can’t afford. We feel the most appropriate response is to cancel the show rather than postponing it again. The disappointment and anxiety are taking their toll on us. We’re extremely sorry to disappoint our friends and fans who purchased tickets for this and have already had to deal with the postponement of the event’s original date. Refunds will be made available for all ticket holders and again we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this has or will cause. We also send our apologies to the numerous bands and crew involved and to the team at the Tivoli. We’re sorry we can’t make it happen. We have a long history with the Tivoli and will do whatever we can to organise something in the future to make it up to you all.
We believe people’s medical choices are their own responsibility and their own private business. Whatever they decide themselves should play no part in their ability to participate in cultural and entertainment events they wish to attend. People shouldn’t need a passport to watch a band play. Or to travel within their own country.
Should any situation arise where we may be asked or expected to perform to an audience that was non-inclusive, we would not be willing to participate. We will not perform anywhere that denies or prevents the attendance of a group of people within the music loving community. We interpret and recognise the active participation in “vaccinated only” events as tacit support for the division, the segregation and the ongoing erosion of our relationships, our liberties, and our way of life. For us to take part would run contrary to the core meaning in our music and we simply cannot pretend that it wouldn’t. Why would we perform at a show that we couldn’t attend ourselves? We hope you all understand where we’re coming from and can respect our choices and decisions.
Sincerely Lucius, Flynn and Luke.
