Coexist tour 2013, Australian leg
Festival Hall
Such a freaking great gig.










You move through the room
Like breathing was easy
If someone believed me
They would be
As in love with you as I am//

The xx are better live than on their records.
I reckon that's partly due to Jamie xx's amazing remixed beats, and mostly due to the steamy (though not romantic) chemistry between Oli and Romy. Oo mama.
Olly Sim had this weird stalking dance step thing going on, which was altogether creepy and hot.
And Romy's voice. Just.
Love love love the minimalistic layering of their velvety voices and languid riffs with beats that, at some parts, came vibrating up through Festival Hall's floor.
FAB GIG. (Except for the 16yos in front who were so high, making fools of themselves and who basically ruined the night for everyone around them.)

This just makes me want to jump right back into gig photography like in my uni days. I'd reapply to shoot for music mags but of course I'm still crippled by self-doubt and I've sold my DSLR. Grrreat.
