Reviews of live concert performances and events with full photo galleries.
Wow, wow wow… what more can I say! I have just witnessed one of the greatest performances I have ever seen at The Greystones in Sheffield. I was completely blown away and I am still […]
I love metal shows even though I’m not a huge metal fan. I thought this current tour with these four bands was a great representation of different kinds of metal genres. I’m not going to […]
I remember fondly seeing the Hoodoo Gurus final Australian tour, the nationwide three-month ‘Spit the Dummy’ tour, in back 1997 catching shows in Sydney where I lived and later in Perth when I was on […]
Review by Laurie Luke It is my first time arriving at Red Hill Auditorium and I am immediately impressed. The layout is fantastic, the stage is clearly visible from all areas, with a view of […]
It’s always interesting when you finally get to see a band you’ve waited over a decade to see. I’ve been singing the praises of H.E.A.T. since the first days of The Rockpit, and tonight on […]
It’s a Thursday night, a school night in Melbourne. I have my camera and I am heading to a venue I have never heard or attended before, Musicland Melbourne. I have come to see Truck […]
It sounded like a good idea and then COVID hit. Like many other touring packages, it’s been side-tracked for over two years. The pent-up excitement and anticipation add it to the craziness of this […]
On my arrival at in Newtown, It was fairly obvious that there was a Rock show in the vicinity. Obviously, Newtown Station is still a reasonably colourful precinct at the best of times, but the […]
It has been a long wait to get us to tonight’s show in more ways than one, but that wait has only served to build the anticipation. As the crowds milled outside before the […]

Anthrax came to town on their 40th anniversary tour and brought two incredible bands to support them. First one up was Hatebreed. The fans showed up early and the place was packed before they even went […]
It was another amazing sell-out show at The Charles Hotel in Perth as once again live music fans came out in their droves to support an industry that has suffered much through the barren […]
I’ve reviewed Buckcherry many times before, for The Rockpit. I will continue to do so but this is more of a pictorial review than anything else. If you don’t know who Buckcherry is by this point, what’s wrong […]
I thought it was very interesting that I was going to see Ted Nugent playing at a County Fair in a small city like Albert Lea at a County Fair. It’s a fun County Fair filled […]
I had grown up with award winner Tex Perkins in my life from the 90’s, it was a staple in most musical diets of people of my age. “The Cruel Sea” had contributed so much […]
Saturday night in Perth for me always brings excitement especially when I am reviewing an artist or a band. You get the call, the approval email from the promoter, anticipation grows as you figure out […]
This is a show I’ve been looking forward to for quite some time. First because I am a huge fan of Garbage. I’ve seen that band more times than I can count, and I love their […]
An enthusiastic crowd filled the Charles Hotel for night two of an eight show WA run for indie/alternative rockers Thirsty Merc and by God did they leave their mark on an energy-filled room by the […]
Friday night in Perth, I am heading to Lyric’s Underground – a venue in Maylands purposely built to entertain and to provide musical sanctuary for those wishing to accept it. The artist(s) in question is […]
Fremantle-based Unicorn launched their second single ‘Cats’ on a night that was full of ‘Pussycat Power’ at Clancy’s in Fremantle. With a line-up loaded with female talent, the generous & enthusiastic crowd was treated to […]
This is a double bill made in heaven for someone like me. Not only am I a big fan of Cheap Trick, but Rod Stewart is also someone I have followed since I was a child. When […]
The title may be a bit confusing, so I’d like to clear up any of that. La Musique room is in Saint Michaels Minnesota. It’s one of the rooms in a large movie theater […]
Thursday night, I leave my hotel room in the heart of Adelaide 7pm ready to get in early, doors open at 7:30pm and I don’t want to be at the end of the queue. I […]
I can’t start this review without saying what an amazing live venue the Waite Park Amphitheatre is. I would go on record saying it is the nicest outdoor amphitheater we have in the state […]
The Angels proved once again that they have no intention of slowing down after visiting WA for two sell-out shows at the Ravenswood (Friday) and the iconic Charles Hotel (Saturday). Celebrating 40 years since Darkroom […]
