The Crowd gasped to fill their lungs as a kind of prelude to screaming. Timmo Timmo began the riff to the anthem we had gathered to experience. A song which everyone needed to hear…… not so much a song as an anthem which loyal followers were anxious to encounter. It was late in the set, and most of the songs on the wish lists of fans had been fulfilled. Jyrki 69, a vampire with a fabulous Elvis/ Jim Morrison complex, serenaded his loyal fledglings with his smoldering presence and velvety vocals. While covering all the bases of the 69 Eyes discography, from Angels (2007), Devils (2004), and Wasting the Dawn (1999), the set list focused mainly on the Framed in Blood album (2003), presumably to cater to the more die- hard followers whom regard the album as one of their front running releases. However the 69 Eyes broke through this un-written rule, making it almost impossible to stand still inciting much screaming, fist shaking and devil horns action. It is typical of gothic shows to discourage any indications of enjoyment or pleasure, lest the mystique be lost. The intro to ‘framed in blood’ began as head vampire and lead singer Jyrki 69 exploded onto the stage, provoking a hysteric awe and admiration from the crowd. We were indeed ready to be bitten…Īs the background music slowly melted away, the lights were dimmed and stage became nervous with anticipation.ĭonning tight leather pants, no shirt and a pirate- esque bandanna, Jussi 69 emerged to the soundtrack of the 1980’s classic vampire film ‘ Lost Boys’, which floated through the crowd as Bazie, Timmo Timmo and Archie joined Jussi on stage. Inked was finishing up their set at the hour of 10pm. Unlike Head Inc, Inked found saving grace in their lead singer, who managed to draw attention away from the short comings of the band with his luminously eccentric performance. The band members produced a seemingly mediocre performance, being at odds with their instruments which at times failed to co- operate. Inked ambushed the stage with their gothic thrash lullaby’s, captivating the audience not with their music, but with their lead singer. While the band delivered a commanding set, the vocalist was far too animated, making the performance appear forced and less then organic. Head Inc warmed the intimate stage with crisp and punchy rhythms mixed with powerfully jagged vocals. Corsets, leather pants, ten- inch heels, sequins and red lipstick littered the venue omitting nothing less than vampiric elegance. The Forum began to fill with an onslaught of glamour. It was the first time The 69 Eyes ventured to our shores, following a huge online demand from loyal Oz fans. As a coven of Goths, cock rockers, metal heads, punks and alike gathered outside of the Sydney Forum, the scene was all a glitter with anticipation.
