I had never seen The Avalanches before but that was remedied last Wednesday night when I saw them at the Enmore Theatre, the first of three sold out shows in Sydney. It was a wonderful night. The group that gave us 'Since I Left You', a true classic, played to rapturous joy off the back of last year's wonderful album in 'We Will Always Love You'. The 'band' is now a duo featuring founding members Robbie Chater and Tony Di Biasi. There are no live instruments, just two men behind desks making themselves busy with samples and vocals. As I am used to totally live instruments it took a little to get used to but once I settled into the groove it was surely a night of great joy.
