Recordings
[edit]Live in Melbourne '21 contains the rare intro drum solo Fury, played only twice in the bands existence, here, and at a show at the Croxton Park Hotel 2 days prior.[1][2] The performance took place during a gap between the release of K.G. and L.W., and heavily featured songs on that album.[1] It was also the bands first recorded live performance since the COVID-19 pandemic, and the departure of Eric Moore.[3] This release was also made available on YouTube by the band with concert footage with the album uploaded to their official bootlegger program shortly after.[1][2]
Reception
[edit]The Australian Broadcasting Corporation noted the performances of Pelura, Straws in the Wind, Automation, and Honey.[3] The release of the album also came with the release of further concert dates in Sydney, Adelaide and Fremantle.[3]
