'Ay all! - In my humble opinion, Mutiny are a bloody great band.
Before I met them and had actually seen them play I had a jovial go at 'em for parting ways with our box-player on their message board (actually, I knew all along that the parting was on good terms - and not only that but had little to do with me;I was just being a bit facetious, and certainly slightly drunk - bloody cheeky shit-strirer that I am at times).
Part of the reason for this is that I had heard two and a half of their songs on an mp.3 player - some little punk sprog I met at Flinders St. Station had bootlegged (it sounded like shite at the time I thought - that and I was cranky for getting fined by a public transport officer) - however after meeting with Greg and Mark and a few of the others from the crew, and had a fucking *blast* at their gig (at the Tote in old Melbourne town), I have nothing but great things to say about them; they are original, energetic, fun, unpretentious - all the things I tend to look for in a band.
Their Bass player is especially good - she has a very individual sound and is such the engine beast. As folks I met in a pub I can vouch that they are genuine, interesting and hardcore. Their cool attitude is reflected on their webby: there is a songbook with chords (and tab!) for all you aspiring guitar rats.
It goes without saying that I let 'em know that I love 'em. I'm hoping to make it to some more of their gigs when they get back from their current tour.
If anyone gets a chance to buy their cds or see them play - you'll not be dissapointed.
Faithfully,
Owen Thomas "Bacchus Aquinas", Ship's Bassplayer, CATGUT MARY.
