“On record, Hound steer a straightline course via Placebo, but live – at least tonight – they veer into major Dinosaur Jr territory. This may be to do with the fact they are totally and brilliantly drunk. If so, being drunk makes them totally brilliant. The guitars just ring like bells, and the songs chug along like a freight train – even if they do have to be reminded which songs to actually play. “Drown” in particular is an absolute screeching fucking belter of a track tonight, rubbing our faces raw and then kissing it all better.”

I would like to acknowledge that the gigs that are pictured here, the stages they’re played on, the bars and venues they’re held in, and the good times they represent, are all held on lands that were never ceded by Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. I acknowledge these First Australians as the traditional custodians of the continent, whose cultures are among the oldest living cultures in human history. I pay respect to the Elders of the community and extend my recognition to their descendants.
