Monster Magnet
The Arena in Brisbane, 11th August 1999
by Rachel

Just a quickie to give you a review on the Monster Magnet gig I saw on the 11th at the Arena.  Have you ever seen these guys?  If not, and you don't mind their music, then it's a must that you catch them next time they come to town.

The concert was brilliant and Dave Wyndorf (lead singer) was in fine form.  These guys are what you call the real Sex, Drugs & Rock 'n' Roll Gods of the 90s!  As per usual, they had their slides projecting onto the back wall to give the psychedelic effect.  Their sound was spot on and the tunes they pumped out of the amps were rockin'!  Even though I enjoyed the concert immensely, it wasn't as good as their Dopes to Infinity tour with Tumbleweed as their support.

Supporting this time was Rollerball (who were great!!! - go Brissie bands!) and I think the other band was Skunker which were an all girl band and very bland.

So to sum it all up, I'll give them 4 stars (5 being the highest which I would say their Dopes to Infinity Tour was).
