The Presets @ the Apple Store
The Presets played a free show last night down at the Apple Store in the Sydney CBD.
The store has a limited capacity, so I didn’t fancy my chances of getting in when I turned up around an hour and half before the show, and the line to get in was stretching right around the corner.
Sure enough, I was about 50 people behind the last people admitted – so I ended up watching from the street, which was pretty entertaining in itself, even if we could only barely hear the music through the soundproof glass. The mood among the crowd was a mixture of drunken excitement, disappointment, resentment towards security and the lucky peeps inside, and a manic determined urge to enjoy the less-than-ideal situation as much as possible.
I really like these for the weirdness of the Presets behind glass.

Soundproof booth!
Maybe they could have had speakers outside too?
