Reviews of live concert performances and events with full photo galleries.
It’s Tommy Gallagher back again with another review here for The Rockpit. My apologies on this review as I had a 12-hour shift this day and I got to the gig after the first band […]
Having heard of the heritage listed Astor Theatre’s rich history and revered acoustics, I was excited to finally see it for myself when Teddy Swims and special guest Mia Wray were set to land in […]
Ian Moss ventured into WA to celebrate his new solo album ‘Rivers Run Dry’ having already played to his fans in Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and Perth. His set featured songs from the new album and the songs that […]
‘Tommy’ – Iconic, dark, and an album that pushed boundaries and tackled topics we shouldn’t talk about. The Who created a monster in a masterpiece and the 1969 album left its mark on rock ‘n’ […]
A wet and windy Sunday in Blackpool is not normally my idea of fun. But the prospect of one of my favourite bands of the moment, The Damn Truth at my favourite venue, the Waterloo […]
A Wednesday night in Perth… torrential rain and a huge cold front crosses the coast… there is a live gig on… surely a recipe for poor ticket sales and night in front of the TV! […]
It was a school night here in Perth, the venue in question is an intimate stage, there is no barrier, no media pit, no real separation from the punter to the performer – just a […]
Inspiral Carpets returned to Australia for the first time since 1993 to perform two sell out shows at Perth’s Rosemount Hotel on Friday & Saturday night supported by The Deenys. The Legendary Manchester band INSPIRAL […]
The hottest ticket in Manchester tonight is for Demi Marriner’s album launch show. It was sold out some time ago and I had to pull in a favour or two to bag myself a ticket. […]
Automatic is the LA-based trio of Izzy Glaudini (synths, lead vocals), Lola Dompé (drums, vocals) and Halle Saxon (bass, vocals). Uninspired by the masculine energy of the local scene and rock music on the radio — […]
In amongst the eerily quiet suburbia of Fremantle a secret show is about to begin. The single launch of ‘Anybody Else But Me’ by Cecilia… The historic setting is Sullivan Hall, a structure fabricated and […]
If you were out walking your dog last night around the Mt. Claremont area, you would be forgiven for thinking that English Premier League soccer club, Newcastle United, had flown over to join their counterparts […]
Nestled in suburban industrial area, between warehouses you can find the Night Owl, an intimate venue with moody lighting promising a night of great music. Leah Ballantyne opened the evening with acoustics that drove right […]
Starr Special Events put together a stellar line-up to beat the winter blues at The Charles Hotel featuring some high quality artists. Our photographer Linda Dunjey was there to capture the evening that featured Dave […]
Highly revered UK 5-piece Slowdive stayed true to their promise of returning to Australia and New Zealand, as they kicked off a run of sold out nationwide dates, opening the tour in Perth with support from […]
First, praise to The Cure for keeping concert costs reasonable, especially in the age of dynamic pricing, platinum seating, and nebulous service fees that often equal or exceed the cost of the ticket. Although night […]
It’s Friday night in Subiaco and there is a certain buzz in the air, best described as “an electric feel”. It is drifting in and out focus. I compare it to a melodic hum – […]
The Way Out West Tour rolled on for the second night of two WA shows after a sell out opener at Freo.Social on Friday night. Tonight, The Astor Theatre played host to nearly one thousand […]
Thirsty Merc blazed their way back in to WA for the first of eight shows in nine nights, kicking off with a near sold-out opener at The Stirling Arms in Guildford. Perth rockers The Silent Deeds […]
The Rockpit was over in London last night for the Midnite City show at Black Heart! Catch the rest of the tour if you can! Thanks to Peter at Inside Edge for the photos… […]
In the current climate when money is scarce and choices have to be made where we spend our hard earned cash, then a great offer is what’s needed. Well, I love a buy one get […]
Babymetal brings the Metalverse down-under for their first ever Australian headline tour. On Sunday June 11th from 7pm, undeterred by the cold, thousands of fans eagerly lined up awaiting Babymetal’s first live performance in Australia […]
The hardest thing about a spoken word review is not giving away the punchlines, so whilst I will do my very best to avoid that all I will say is as someone who hasn’t really […]
Perth is blessed with some wonderful live venues and I can safely say The Carine Tavern’s band room sits prominently on that list. Nice size, great vantage points and clear sound made for the perfect […]
Bradford and the Nightrain have been waiting a long time for When Rivers Meet to be in town, having played the neighbouring Leeds and Huddersfield already. But tonight is the night, but before we get […]
