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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
