LIVE REVIEW: 6s & 7s @ Melt, Sydney 26/08/10
written by Chris Familton Des Miller had a tentative start to the evening with some sound issues but when he settled in he produced some wonderful music with wry lyrical observations and a cosy mix of pedal steel, acoustic guitar and keyboards. There were some overt Dylan influences alongside some dark pop sounds akin to The Chills. Traps have been performing around the proverbial for … Continue reading LIVE REVIEW: 6s & 7s @ Melt, Sydney 26/08/10
