We drove out to Leichardt and had the loveliest dinner along Norton Street, otherwise known as Little Italy. The pizzas and fettucine vongole were out of this world.
However, food was not on the priority list in Leichardt. We didn't come here to eat. We specifically came to pay homage to one of Sydney's live music institutions for rock- The Annandale.
Delightfully dingy, crummy and full of indie vibe, we were there to catch Sugar Army.
They were so good. Then again, we're quite starved of gigs at home that we lap up anything we can get when we travel. The guys squeezed up all the way to the front. I didn't have my earplugs, so I remained at the back of the room. Man, the band was loud! The poor eardrums sufferred a little!
It's nice to have so many friends around. It was really cool that many just popped out for the night to say hi! I took one look around the bar and gave up hope on any sort of whisky. There was a bottle of Glenfiddich sitting on the shelf. But naaah. I'm told that Sydney hasn't exactly caught on to single malts. There isn't quite a swanky whisky bar in the city. (Correct me if I'm wrong!) The only available choices seem to be Glenlivet and Glenfiddich.
At Annandale, beer seemed like the thing to drink. So Tooheys Extra Dry it was. Pretty tasty I thought! Quite crisp. Light, no smelly sour aftertaste. They plied me cup after cup. Luckily they didn't insist on doing the 100% sort of drinking!)
A pity we won't be able to hang around for Shihad next week.
