Werribee Mansion is without a doubt one of if not the most spectacular setting for the Red Hot Summer Tour. The beautiful gardens and historic structure play the perfect background to today’s show. I make […]
Some bands make an impact on you on the big stage, others in a tiny bar with next to no crowd, others can wow you in a club atmosphere. Hothouse Flowers completed a trifecta rarely […]

GRAMMY-nominated singer, songwriter and musician Gregory Alan Isakov has returned to Australia for his third tour performing in an intimate acoustic format. The shows offers audiences a special opportunity to experience stripped-down acoustic arrangements of favorites […]
It’s a strange feeling measuring time in relation to bands but standing inside a heaving and sweaty Magnet House watching Lacuna Coil close out their Australian tour, I couldn’t help but drift back almost twenty […]
If there was just one word to describe the two opening shows of the Hothouse Flowers Australian/New Zealand tour in Perth, Western Australia, that word is “epic!”. First on stage with his familiar acoustic guitar […]
There are some shows that really take you by surprise and quickly enfold you in their arms, shows that make you smile from ear to ear and realise that on a mid-week night in Fremantle […]
As many times as I have seen The Tea Party live, they never fail to amaze me. Tonight was no exception. The first show of the Elements tour was nothing but a masterpiece and a […]
There’s something wonderfully reassuring about heading out to see a band that you know will not only do justice to their vaulted past but also throw some new treasures your way too. Latest album ‘The […]
Melbourne this time of year has a buzz to it. We have the Australian Open filling our streets with tourist and speaking of tourists The Rasmus are in town tonight too and what a buzz […]
Sometimes you have to change your plans, drop everything and make sure you get to the show. Well when Orianthi announced a series of shows in the UK, then I had to be there. I […]
Can anything ever live up to a cherished memory? Can anything be as good as it was in your youth? Can David Byrne deliver a show that can live up to my adolescent love of his […]

The highly anticipated opening night of a sold out tour for The Fray’s “How to Save a Life” 20th Anniversary has arrived! Arriving in Australia to celebrate their timeless debut album which continues to attract […]
