Sydney based artist Caitlin Park took to the stage at The Hive this past Saturday night in support of her acclaimed sophomore album The Sleeper. Seamlessly combining contemporary electronic and folky acoustic music to create a new and unique sound, Park is bound to have people talking (and dancing). Due to some technical difficulties with the sound equipment, […]
Words by Clancy Gibson Lights, big bass, girls and bottles; baby bottles, that is! It’s been a while since Lily Allen has set foot on Aussie soil. She’s spent the last four years out of the spotlight, bringing up a young family. Now, her latest album Sheezus is a strong reflection that Allen has really […]
Words by Clancy Gibson I was talking to my housemate before I left for the show on Wednesday night at the Metro Theatre. ” Ásgeir ?” my housemate questioned, “I haven’t heard of him, what he like?” I racked my musical memory bank for something reflecting his sound.

Sydney’s electronic duo Fishing, made up of Russell Fitzgibbon and Doug Wright, brought their A game for a sold out gig at Sydney’s The Basement for the launch of their long awaited album, Shy Glow. Joining them for the event were MELTY, Major Napier, and Polographia on support, and Champain Lyf DJs to round off […]
Carriageworks has become one of my favourite Sydney venues. The industrial setting, vast hangars and enormous performance spaces allow for incredible sound and a wonderful setting for all genres. Tonight, we were there to see Liars as part of the fantastic Vivid LIVE line up. Next door, in the larger room, The Presets and Pet […]
By Cameron Nicholls Crowded into the intimate Brighton Up Bar, red and blue lights skew and morph almost everything and everyone. Sydney four-piece Bonney Read are launching their EP, Live To Tell, officially released on the same day, June 5.
