This was, what I believe to be, Lullatone's first show in Australia, and I have to say that I was reasonably excited. I must admit that their sickenly cute brand of glock 'n' glitch is fairly appealing to me. I mean, songs about raindrops, pajamas and Hello Kitty, I don't give a fuck. I lap that shit up. And the Japanese can get away with it a lot easier than the rest of us arseholes. You kind of expect it from them.
Unfortunately, due to my portable digital photo camera becoming inactive somewhere over the Indian Ocean last month I was unable to take any quality photos of the band's performance. However, the above photo, taken on my phone, I think captures the essence of the show quite well. The theme of the evening was obviously cute, and the crowd were mostly of the same description. I managed to get the sexy eye off two different girls. Three times from the first one and twice from the second. Unfortunately, due to my lack of experience in such matters I was unable to capitalise on these comely glances being shot in my direction. However, I did receive a certain gratification from the positive acknowledgment, regardless of there being a lack of fruition.
The band unfortunately didn't play for very long. After working the crowd into a frenzy with some audience participation and balloon volleyball they seemed to just end the set abruptly. However, it did seem like they were keen to hang around and chat to those wanting to approach them. They would have been more than happy to discuss important topics like jumping in puddles and big floppy bunny rabbit ears. Who wouldn't?
