The Five Venoms - The Cherry Bar - March 2006
These are from a couple of weeks ago. These guys are the funnest live band in Melbourne, despite the fact that Airbourne is opening for the Rolling Stones next week (We’ve got good seats to the Melbourne show, wait for a review here Thursday after the show), and have apparently signed a stupidly lucrative contract with Capitol records. I mean, there’s just something innately preturnatural about a couple of slinky Chinese kids playing shred-prog rock after practicing for eight hours a day instead of going to university.
Either way, the Master of Puppets look is going to be big this winter in Melbourne, so start scouring Ebay for old white high-tops and Megadeth t-shirts early.
And look for a story on the Five Venoms in Australian Guitar in the next couple of weeks. Gallery is here.
