Stalking The Rakes pt. 2
During a supposed quick toilet break - I managed to bump into Alan Donohoe, front man of The Rakes! Since I had chatted to Matt earlier, I couldn't let Alan just walk past without a picture. Had a quick chat and learned that he actually lived in Melbourne for a few months, years ago. Spoke about Little Red (The Rakes seem to be quite big fans of the local band), and about the Jesus and Mary Chain support shows. Danny and I got our pictures with him and we let him go. Such a lovely soft-spoken man, compared to his wild on-stage persona. A little bit Ian Curtis-like.
After a lot of messing about and wasting time, I was ready to really start my day and who better to kick things off then the stunning Roisin Murphy!
...more to come...
