Last week we saw Tripod's Christmas show at the Metro. Tripod are a three piece comedy band, or a very funny three man rock band, or something like that. They are most famous for being on The Sideshow, which is on some Australian channel or other, and doing funny songs in an hour on Triple J.
Their support act was weird. Really weird. I liked him.
Tripod themselves performed a series of songs, some of which I'd heard before and some of which I hadn't. All were very funny indeed, regardless. This one is even funny without the music. But for me, the best bits were the bits between the songs. And during the songs in one case. A chap got up to use the lavatory, prompting a "Where the fuck do you think you're going?" from Gatesy (the middle one is called Gatesy, the one with the guitar is called Scod, and the shorter bald one is called Yon). He leapt off the stage and pulled him back to his seat. Makes for a good show.
At the end of their shows they tend to do a cover. Since it was Christmas, they brought on a lady vocalist and did "Fairytale of New York". Lovely!
