ElbowSkin @ Margaret Murray Room

Score: 7
Short Review: A guilty pleasure
Dave and Ern are a couple of Melbourne boys who decided that their act, ElbowSkin, would go down a treat here in ff2004. And you know what? They’re not (completely) wrong.
The bad stuff first: the fish sketches. A little bit Python, methinks, but the last couple were overdoing it.
That was easy. Now the good stuff: the boys use pre-recorded material really well – the Street Fighter pisstake was class. Their songs were bloody funny, the sketches ace.
YES, it was cheesey; YES, it was juvenile; but (and this is the most important thing) YES, it was FUN.
