Show Notes: The first Milk Carton Kids tour of Australia since 2015 (one had been planned for July 2020 which I had tickets for, but you know what happened there...), playing to a sold out and packed Thornbury Theatre, the same venue I saw them for the first time all the way back in June 2013. This time though the luxury of sitting around tables and spaced out was replaced with row after row of not the most comfortable chairs with next to next space next to each other (thankfully they could be moved for a tiny bit more space between you and your seating companion). A really enthusastic crowd greeted the duo like long lost heroes, and for the next 75 minutes they enchanted us with their delightful folk rock and exquisite harmonies. A fantastic show from 2 very talented performers.

Recording Notes: Quiet acoustic music combined with loud clapping and cheering between songs always presents an issue to the listener, but I've tried my best to reduce the audience volume between songs so it won't burst your ear drums. Otherwise it sounds great. Enjoy!
