Mr Maps

So a few weekends ago, me and Nabil headed into Brisbane's latest guerilla gig: Mr Maps at the tennis courts at New Farm Park.

Who are Mr Maps? Think of instrumental post-rock with huge overtones of twinkly emo guitar but much more densely layered. Does that description confuse you? Well head on over to their Triple J Unearthed website to get some tracks for free to check out.

The band was started by the guitarist, after he wrote most of the songs for his university honours project. The end result was way more impressive than my final uni project! The rest of the band came together to help him and the guerilla gig was for them to film a music video for their new song Tennis Party. Whenever it comes out, hopefully you'll see my and Nabil's beautiful beards in the music video. Or at least us trying to catch some tennis balls in a bucket.

Here's some pictures I took of the day.
