Enjoy.

lions at your door @the Annandale supporting Kid Confucius's final show last Saturday. I haven't seen such a tight show from all the bands in such a long time.
The night was finished off with an exceptionally entertaining set by the guys in Kid Confucius. It was almost too emotional to see them bow and farewell the fans after their epic 90min set.

This is a quote from a Banksy poster print for an anti war demonstration. I just discovered this 2007 article from the NEW YORKER feature on Banksy. Interesting trivia facts about the artist for anyone who is interested in his work and philosophies.
