ReviewGeneration Why?
Rosemount Hotel
Thursday 11 September
A group of South West bands made the trek to Perth to put on a show in celebration of their new split EP, Generation Why. Rrocklobster of Perth and Chris Webster Photography went to check it out!
A miniature crowd gathered at the front, ready for the show to begin with Sludge Bucket. They captured everyone’s attention with their booming thunderous doom-inspiring bass-driven songs and gravelly T-Rex vocals. It was a suitable introduction to the evening’s revelry.
After a short drinking break, Renegade Girl drew the audience back inside. Beautiful strong vocals resonated through the room, backed with overwhelming amounts of loud drumming and thunderstorm bass. The hoard of patrons that had gathered cheered and whistled in appreciation and the band was grateful for the positive vibes. “Thanks for coming down and supporting Perth’s live music scene.”
Crash Rat took over the venue in a whirlwind of teased hair, bandanas, denim vests and spandex. Did someone say time machine? Crunchy guitars and group vocals kept the audience on edge. Vocalist O.D. Winters was keen for the crowd to sing along with Wasteland. “Everyone in here needs to join in otherwise it’s gonna sound pretty bleak.” A generous portion of the crowd knew the song and band members got the revellers riled up with some overhead clapping. By now a decent crowd had filled the room and people were sufficiently lubricated and amped just in time for the last song, Fiftyonefifty. Everyone was right into it! TAZ gave the drums a good bashing, the audience chanted along with their three-way group vocals, and chainsaw guitar soared over everything. 10/10 would head-bang.

Kettle
Fingers appeared on the stage: three girls and a beardy drummer. Echoes of audience
members commenting 'ahh they’re so cute,'
ricocheted through the room. Vocalist Elle Driver exacerbated the band’s charm
with stage banter like “I’m taking off my shoes because shoes are oppressive.
Just kidding, I love shoes!” Within seconds the crowd was bopping along to
their melodiously bouncy guitars and bass and poppy drums, and the delightful vocal
harmonies created by the three girls. Members of the earlier bands had stuck
around to enjoy the effervescent tunes and photographers snapped happily into
the night. Movers and shakers near the stage proved that they had come to party
and that Kettle Fingers had reigned in the evening.
