I knew that I would be in for another late night when I saw the tickets for tonight’s concert said doors open at 8:30pm (especially considering what time it is right now!). . The Zoo played host tonight’s acts consisting of Motor Ace and awesome support band Neon (wow, their website took a while to google). Even though Neon are mainly supporting many other bands at the moment (I also caught them at Jebediah a couple of weeks back), they have great music and know how to get the crowd rocking.

It has been a while since we had heard much from Motor Ace. Their last album was produced two years ago and the band has been through a lot since then, having dissolved, getting back together and somehow managing to find enough inspiration and effort for their latest album, Animal. When Motor Ace finally got on stage (almost at midnight mind you!), the crowd was more than ready for them. The crowd’s hunger was soon appeased with some songs from their first album, Five Star Laundry, followed by some songs from their latest album and then a select few from Shoot This. It was obvious this crowd had been following the band for sometime, with pretty much everyone I saw knowing most of the words to all of the songs played from previous albums. Another bargain act that is completely worth seeing for the measly $22 they were charging. I’d also keep a look out for their new album (its songs sounded were more reminiscent of their first album more so than their second though).
