Touched By A Parsnip – Stand By Tram (ts#5)

Feels like a while ago.

As night fell over Melbourne we met up with the people from Touched By A Parsnip outside the State Library. We geared up, setting up our “Poor Man’s Steadicam”, testing tape, testing microphone, testing that Björn could take photos. And suddenly we were on a tram, the microphone was not plugged in and the camera shut down. Luckily the next stop was the last stop on that line. Out on the station we tried to sort out the problems while the band sang us a song about the state of technology. After some tinkering we had the gear ready again, this time fully working and we got on the tram and travelled all the way somewhere from above La Trobe and down to St Kilda Road.

Touched By A Parsnip improvised greatly and got the commuters on board to sing as well! Here’s the second song from the session, “Stand By Tram”.
