Queens Of The Stone Age, The Fumes @ The Big Top - Luna Park, Sydney (28/03/2008)
Review by Fiona Cameron, Drum Media #900, 8 April 2008
Some nights it’s like this, where it all goes well from the moment you close your front door until you stagger out of the venue a couple of hours later, exhilarated and exhausted, quivering like a 10-year-old hopped up on sugar, shrieking “I wanna go AGAIN!” And yes, that was me.
You gotta love The Fumes. The duo appeared on stage, cranked out an outstanding set and managed to make me forget just for a little while who we had all come to see. Theirs was a skuzzy, swampy, distorted sound that’s maybe second cousin once removed from the primordial ooze that rock’n’roll springs from. Think filthy, bluesy, somewhat damaged and a strangely perfect warm up for the Queens show. Who wants cool when raw, blistering guitar and drums feels this good? […>
