TOP FIVES: Bossman Records

Join Naysayer and Gilsun from Bossman Records for their top fives in music. They're probably not what you'd expect...

According to Naysayer and Gilsun, "Inspired by the wave of DIY digilabels churning out great music all over the interwebs, BOSSMAN RECORDS was started by a few friends to jump right on the bandwagon."

We're glad they did, because they are pretty damn rocking - and they're currently on tour with the PURPLE SNEAKERS DJs for Groovin The Moo. The guys took a break to give us their Top 5's, but warned us that they change too often for them to feel solid about their answers.

Top 5 gigs you’ve been to

1. Radiohead - Rod Laver Arena, 2012

I don't care that this hasn't actually occurred yet. I'm a disgusting fanboy and have never, ever seen them play. As long as Thom sorts out his ponytail, I think it'll probably be a prettttty good gig.

2. Spiritualized - Sydney Opera House, 2011

This was the full-length, 20-piece band performance of 'Ladies and Gentlemen, We're Floating In Space'. Snagged front row seats thanks to a great friend. Cue: out of body experiences.

3. Pavement - Golden Plains, 2010

Getting brazenly drunk with a bunch of friends and moshing a few metres away from a very irreverent Stephen Malkmus is something I never, ever thought I'd be able to do. I can only praise Australia's patron saint: Aunty Meredith.

4. Godspeed You! Black Emperor - ATP U.K., 2010

So lucky to have seen these guys play. Incredible band on record, but even better live.

5. Caribou - ATP U.K., 2010

This gig was in what can best be described as a scout hall and had about fifty people in attendance. Unbelievable. Four Tet and Holy Fuck opening up just made it even more surreal.
