As always, your dedicated fasterlouder crew were out and about and up till all hours last week, penning and snapping to give you something interesting to look at, instead of work, while you count down the weekdays to the weekend.

Last week’s wrap begins with a Michael Franti review, by the prodigal Tange, and a gallery of glories by the irrepressible and non sleeping Stu907.
Next, we asked Stuo to take his new camera along to see Cog & Sugar Army and gave owencord a push out of his growly thrashmetal comfort zone to come up with these words for the experience.

We were thick on the ground at The Grates, and all had an awesome time, but the lucky two who got to share their night with you were Frog_e on the words and shanebutler on the pictures.
Shichi made a gallery of the White Swallows album launch, while another thick pile of Fasterlouder crew danced with the Dandys at Metro City. You can read all about Rock Princess’ night here, and then check out the gallery against the girlfriend odds by Stu907.

Benjiswan headed out to the Hydey’s lounge room to see if a name change would be the only change in The Scotch of St James,
while owencord returned to his genre of choice, penning this Pig Destroyer for you. Staying with the neck damaging music for a moment, we sent him out again the next night to review Slipknot and of course, Stu907 was there again, this time encumbrance-less and making the most of his freedom, snapped this week’s best gallery.

Def Leppard were camera shy, so we can’t show you what they looked like, but they were rock gods for all that, and Leannyn penned this rundown of the night’s events. Sparkadia’s review is here, lovingly crafted by Raciroo, but check out the gallery by our newest photographer; Maccah.

Last on the week’s list of goodies is Bliss n Eso who had the Capitol bouncing, according to Benjiswan. If you were there, see if you can spot yourself in Stuo’s gallery

That lot should keep you going till next week’s bunch of links and dad jokes, of course you can always check the site each day if you want to be the first to know what shenanigans we’ve been up to, or see if we’ve made you or your mates famous in a gallery.
