    Oh my gosh No Coder, you said they would be awesome...but I didn't realise how awesome. Right from the start Dave captured the audience. They played for just over 2hours. Nearly every song off Go Farther in Lightness. 

    I loved the combo of Let me down Easy into Magnolia and The Deepest Sighs. I didn't think they could get any better then they took a few minutes break for the encore and the last 3 songs were just amazing.

    Dave was happy to be in his home town and was in great spirits. The band rocked hard and were very entertaining. I agree Daves the best Australian frontman, I've seen for a long time. I can't get enough of this new album, seeing them live has me listening to it first thing this morning!

    If you're in Australia and GOY are playing close to you...go, you won't be disappointed there's a reason why the album debuted at number one. 

    So pumped they were great. I simply can't imagine them having a bad night. 
    Im still in high a week later and there's only one other band (PJ) that does that for me

    Funny you say they couldn't do a bad show, Dave talked about the worst ever show they played it was with Vampire Weekend and it was at the Horden Pavilion..where I saw them, so he apologised to anyone in the audience that may have seen the show and hoped Friday night made up for it!

    Gang of youths are touring USA and UK early next year. If you get a chance to see them, they are amazing. 

    They've had a great year including winning numerous awards for best live act, album of 2017 and best group.

    Been into these guys for a couple of years now after i saw lead singer Dave open for Chris Cornell. Their new album is brilliant.
    Saw them at Festival Hall in Melbourne thinking how they would take their songs to a large venue and they absolutely nailed it.
    I'm sure they will have a few tracks in the Hottest 100!

    Yeah, I think they will have at least 4 tracks in it and hopefully 1 at the top of the list.

    I think their music is perfectly suited to fill stadiums if they get big enough and Dave has the front man chops to hold the crowd in the palm of his hand. The most exciting band to come around in a long time for me.

    I think Chris Cornell introduced a lot of Aussies to Dave and Gang of Youths. I'm so glad he chose Dave to open for him, so we discovered GOY a few years ago. Their old music is great, but this last album just blows me away every time I listen to it!

    Yeah, thanks mate. Tash passed on the message that night, which was a relief. I hadn't been on any social media for most of the day, so missed their post.

    Not sure why it wasn't included originally, but as the tour as billed as"Intimate shows", maybe they are playing a different style of show up here and doing a Riverstage gig?? I don't care what it is, I'm there!

    I travelled Aussie in February and found these guys music then. Fell in love with it. Had tickets to a tiny club gig here in Vancouver two weeks ago, but they cancelled. Apparently due to voice issues, but they actually played a show AFTER that announcement. That made the cancellation a little strange. Anyways, hoping they return here, though I unfortunately know it will be a larger venue
