Brisbane based audiovisual DJ ‘Sampology’ played on Friday night at Coniston Lane and was nothing short of amazing. His live show comprised of a myriad of unique visuals projected behind him, which really set his show apart. Having worked with Chris Lilley and The Wiggles, he has a very eclectic range of music sources and […]
Melbourne band Big Scary kicked off their national tour promoting new album ‘Not Art’ last night at the Factory Theatre in Sydney, and what a way to start the tour! We were treated to a full rendition of ‘Not Art‘ from start to finish, followed by a few older tracks. Duo Tom Iansek and Jo […]
Black Bear Lodge treated us to a host of talented young Brisbane acts last Thursday night. First off were MTNS – pronounced Mountains and is certainly not an anagram for My Tits Not Slutty as some obnoxious punters had suggested – and they were my favourite for the night. They’ve got that whole deep, atmospheric synth […]
The first time I saw Collarbones was last year at OutsideIn Festival at The Factory in Marrickville. A small but packed boutique hipster event, and my first electronic-focused festival. I had the time of my life. It mostly showcased semi-ambient electronica, or ‘space sound’ music as I like to call it. I had never heard of […]
Last night my esteemed friend and I, both donning a cute scarf and edgy jacket combo, went and saw Matt Corby’s sold-out performance at the Tivoli in Brisbane. Unsurprisingly, the ratio of girls to guys was probably 6:1, and most of the guys were boyfriends. But more on the fans later. I had briefly researched […]
Tame Impala arrived at the Brisbane Convention Centre halfway through their latest tour around Australia, bringing Midnight Juggernauts with them to an all ages crowd that was clearly looking forward to going berserk. Put simply, no one went home disappointed. Put more simply, anyone who went home disappointed by that performance doesn’t know what the […]
It was back to the Zoo last Thursday for a fun filled night of Scottish traditional music: Frightened Rabbit supported by Admiral Fallow. Despite having one of the poorer names in recent history, the opening act’s frontman had an amazing voice and great sound all round to be honest. They were an awesome choice for […]
So far in 2013 Perth 6-piece, The Growl, toured Australia and throughout the US/Canada opening for Tame Impala, and have now embarked on a headlining tour of Straya’s capital cities (with shows still to come in Melbourne and Adelaide) on the back of the release of their debut album early April. The Growl have also […]
I love it when The Griswolds come to town. Their shows are always guaranteed to be a loose time, full of heaps of dancing, shouting, impressive percussion and crowd sing-alongs. We saw them last Friday at the X&Y bar, supported by Oceanics. Oceanics were impressive. The lead singer had an awesome stage presence and his […]
After missing Ben Howard at Splendour in the Grass 2012, due to an unfortunate clash with Youth Lagoon, I was going to make sure that I didn’t miss the Devon-based acoustic maestro again. We unfortunately arrived a little too late for opening act Willy Mason, but heard he was a real treat. When Ben Howard […]
