Last night I saw one of the best gigs I've seen in yonks, a band of our funest finest players under the moniker of Farewell Spit. The familial offspring of Deconstruction Unit and Fertilty Festival with Rikki Gouch on traps with Jeff Henderson on despaired piano, Dan Beban on sonic guitar tone generation, Anthony Donadlson on percussion and disrupting stuff with Tom Callwood on beautiful bass. Shayne Carter guested on angry raging ghost guitar. Three lengthy pieces across all subspace and the skies. Was so wonderful.
