It’s not often that one walks out of Revolver sober and yet, still satisfied.
Melbourne’s very own [Me] offer a surprisingly refined and polished live performance. A rarity amongst the plethora of bands who spend their days fine tuning an EP only to realize their inability to translate this on a live stage. Luck has no play on stage; this troupe has some serious talent and manages to deliver right on cue.
The wonderfully dark and ominous melodies were trumped only by that of the infallible three-part harmonies and electrifying lead vocals. This, coupled with the playful, rhythmically sound drums and bass guitar, gave comfort to the crowd as they succumbed to a trance-like atmosphere.
An impromptu percussion breakdown with all band members provided a magnificent interlude, bringing back any stragglers whose attention had strayed, and with a triumphant return to the set, they truly captivated the whole room. The theatrical rock outfit managed to engulf and connect with each person as though he or she were the only one in the room.
For a band so concerned with quality of sound, that there needn’t be any acrobatics or pyrotechnics to keep you entertained, a luring visual presence bodes well. With each number, [Me]’s undeniable Queenesque sound takes the listener on a journey of epic proportion. Their ability to create a sound much greater than that of a regular quartet leaves you with a truly unique experience.
To put it simply, [Me] delivered a performance that was easy to dissect but extremely difficult to criticize: a seamless show by versatile musicians that transcends any listener from even the most questionable of venues.
The recent release of their music video, ‘Westward Backwards,’ and a hectic upcoming tour schedule, are sure to promote a bright future for these rising lads.
