“It’s really hard to write concisely about The Football Club, a band that drop so many highlights into one set it’s hard to keep score. It’s like watching Camp Cope, Smith Street Band, and Brendan Maclean all smooshed into one four-piece. It’s got everything – it’s hairy, poptastic, glam, loud as, neurotic, SO ANGRY, funny as hell, and just brimful of tune. Brand new one “Mrs Doubtfire” was a *big* highlight, but there’s nary a duff moment in here. L O V E.”

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.
