Shayne P Carter 本身就是一位很出色的樂手，上月還來過台灣高雄與毛利舞蹈團 / Maori Dance Group 巡演兩週。在聽過他今年九月發行的新專輯《Offsider 》後，一直很期待參加他的現場演出，而這週在墨城的演出，我當然要去。

昨晚是我第一次參加Shayne P Carter 的現場，第一首Intro 曲目即有十分鐘之長，是結合後搖滾、瞪鞋元素的純演奏曲目，雖不同於專輯風格，但這就是看現場才會有的驚喜。坦白說，我完全沒有在腦海中夢遊的時間（不好的樂團會讓妳在演出時不斷回想剛剛吃的晚餐是什麼）。

Shayne P Carter 和鼓手 Gary Sullivan （他也超讚）和貝斯手James Duncan 絕對是火力全開的演奏，Shayne 乾爽的吉他和他的襯衫隨著一首首的曲目，漸漸地全部濕透，因為他們一口氣地玩了兩小時多近三小時，只有少量的講話，歌曲與歌曲之間幾乎沒有空隙。

除演奏新專輯《Offsider 》的曲目之外，Shayne P Carter 仍演奏了之前的作品，和更新的曲目，他的音樂脈絡即是結合了所有Indie 和電子音樂的元素，品味驚人，真的每首歌都是驚喜。

我強烈推薦他的新專輯《Offsider 》，現可在Bandcamp 上收聽和購買，若你人在墨爾本，今晚千萬不要錯過他在Yarra Hotel 演出的最終場。Tickets are $25 presale + BF and $30 on the door.

Auckland musician Shayne P Carter and his band have been playing in Melbourne this week at The Yarra Hotel.

Last night was my first time to watching Shayne and his band play live, I really like his stuff and live it was absolutely great! They played for around two to three hours. A lot of tracks from his new album 'Offsider' as well as older tracks. Shayne’s music mixes elements of 90’s indie scene and electronic music. I’d strongly recommend you to check out his Bandcamp, also if you are in the Melbourne, please come tonight for The final night of Shayne P Carter's Yarra Hotel residency happens at 8pm with support from Cam Butler. Tickets are $25 presale + BF and $30 on the door. Don't miss this one folks! The last two nights have been unreal.
