Reviews of live concert performances and events with full photo galleries.
An open air venue and the threat of rain never fails to bring nervous tension to a gathering crowd. Grey clusters gather over the Brisbane CBD as quick as the merch tent line. Eyes scan […]
I guess it would be both lazy and contrite to review tonight’s Primal Scream show at Fremantle Prison with just the two words “Fucking epic” but in all honesty that was what was going through […]
I guess that when your chart career started way back in 1963 it must be pretty difficult to find a way to please all of your fans by playing their favourite songs and putting them […]
Orianthi returned to WA for night two of her long-awaited five-night Australian Tour and it was an evening to remember as she showed off her incredible guitar skills, song writing prowess and warmth to the […]
Where to start? So much to say, so few superlatives. Starting the year with A+ level artists is a treat, let alone being able to witness The Roots and Talib Kweli together – both hip-hop […]
I first met Kathleen around 2017/18 when she first started playing with Kate Ceberano. This shy young woman with the great smile and tonnes of talent seemed to pop out of nowhere. That was seven […]

Before I get into the bones of this review. This is a spoiler alert. Where the hell has Frank Turner live been all my life. How have I not seen him live before? What a […]
It’s 1996 and I’m 11. I’m gifted a bunch of CDs from my metalhead Uncle. Unknowingly I put one in my Sony Discman and hear ‘Twist’ for the first time. It’s confusing, it’s wildly overstimulating […]
