Rialto Decibel Choir
Rialto Decibel Choir seemed a little nervous which is expected when this is their first gig in the well respected Troubadour. Rialto Decibel Choir’s songs mainly comprise of catchy guitar riffs mixed with their soft and unique vocals. Rialto Decibel Choir is unlike anything that I have ever really heard before, as such I am undecided as to whether I personally really like their music. However I do appreciate what they are doing. Definitely worth a look if you are looking for something a bit different.

Joel Saunders
I don’t really know what to say about Joel Saunders, I think a friend of mine summed it up quite well, “I think we aren’t cool enough anymore”. Joel Saunders has a very unique sound. Joel mainly did covers of some pop hits, with his very own twist (e.g. “Say It Right” by Nelly Furtado). The sound tech looked very stressed, as he didn’t know what to do with Joel’s music, and I don’t blame him. I can’t really explain it any better, so if you are still interested go and have a look at his videos on his (evil) myspace (evil). Joel had two guys dressed as robots to provide us with some other enthusiastic dancing and shenanigans.

Mt Augustus
I may just be getting into Mt Augustus a little too much. I think it’s the best music project that the Cameron Smith and Patrick Elliott duo have been a part of thus far. These guys throw a bit of everything into their various songs (e.g. Guitar, Banjo, Mandolin, Musical Saw, Keys, Accordion, just to list a few). Their sound is best described as Indie Folk Rock with a hint of Pop. The biggest change that I noticed compared to pervious Cam and Pat projects is the quality of Cam’s vocals. The Warmest Winter is one of my favourites and verges more on the pop end of the Mt Augustus scale.
