I only saw the last half hour of Cease, but apparently they droned away with sitar, bongo, guitar combination for around 2 hours. It was like peeking in on a Indian crack den.
Mental Powers played at least one new song I did not recognise and plenty of other rad ones that I did. These guys are getting better each time they play, I can't believe how they sounded when they started playing and that they are now my favourite Perth band.
Carbuncle weren't meant to play, but our Many Guises jam that afternoon had been anything but productive and these drummers, who were the best part of the sounds didn't show up. So we played a pretty inclusive Carbuncle set instead. There were 4 or 5 people with acoustic guitars playing along to the two or three chords that I swap between, it was a great experience, man I wish I could play guitar like some of those cats. I also thought whoever was tapping rhythm did a rad job, it sounded just like I've always wanted it to.
Many Guises went on to play their 2 songs which evolved into communal TLC covers and a large Irish guy in a suit proclaiming folk ditties.
There were lots of carpets and psychedelic lights and a pretty strong community vibe.

Trippy.
The rug in the centre of the circle made it feel like we were in a lounge room.
Mental Powers played another amazingly hypnotic set.
