Reviews of live concert performances and events with full photo galleries.
Tony Hadley has always had a love affair for Australia. From way back in 1985 when Spandau Ballet first hit our shores, the new romantic movement grabbed music lovers and they showed tonight they haven’t […]
To start the evening off, Rusty Brown from Electric Mary treated us to a solo performance. Rusty came on at 9pm to an appreciative crowd and by the time he had played his last […]
It’s always sad when a band decides to call it a day, but it is always great when they decide to celebrate their journey and career with their fans. Australia this week is hosting the […]
As I was making my way to the show I drove past the Palais Theatre, I was early and doors were yet to open, seeing the forecourt full of the tonight’s devoted braving the unpredictable […]
Tonight, Ozgreeny Photography and I had the privilege to be invited as media guests to the much-anticipated launch of Sisters Doll’s third album “Scars” at Max Watts in Melbourne. On the way in on the […]
What can I say about this show. Top to bottom front to back this was the perfect show to kick off 2025 for me. In fact I know this show will be on my best […]
After days of oppressive heat the rain finally came to Fremantle just hours before Cavalera played Metros. It was so humid that the walls and the patrons were soaked long before the first support hit […]
EVERCLEAR have been over in NZ doing a number of larger events around the country, and snuck in a couple of club shows in Wellington and Sydney in the middle of the tour. Recently over […]
An open air venue and the threat of rain never fails to bring nervous tension to a gathering crowd. Grey clusters gather over the Brisbane CBD as quick as the merch tent line. Eyes scan […]
I guess it would be both lazy and contrite to review tonight’s Primal Scream show at Fremantle Prison with just the two words “Fucking epic” but in all honesty that was what was going through […]
I guess that when your chart career started way back in 1963 it must be pretty difficult to find a way to please all of your fans by playing their favourite songs and putting them […]
Orianthi returned to WA for night two of her long-awaited five-night Australian Tour and it was an evening to remember as she showed off her incredible guitar skills, song writing prowess and warmth to the […]
Where to start? So much to say, so few superlatives. Starting the year with A+ level artists is a treat, let alone being able to witness The Roots and Talib Kweli together – both hip-hop […]
I first met Kathleen around 2017/18 when she first started playing with Kate Ceberano. This shy young woman with the great smile and tonnes of talent seemed to pop out of nowhere. That was seven […]
What a stellar line up of artists we were treated to. Mornington Racecourse housed one of the biggest and best line ups of this year or any year and the team at Face To Face […]
Good Things Festival is one of those events I look so forward to every year, I love the diversity of acts, the atmosphere and the chance to discover and see bands I haven’t had the […]
Formed in 1989 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Superchunk’s catalogue of 12 full-length LPs and 4 singles collections has run the gamut of early punk rock stompers, polished mid-career masterpieces, and lush, adventurous curveballs. It’s […]
Summer tour season is well under way here in Queensland, and this week we had The Killers ‘Rebel Diamonds’ Greatest Hits tour roll into town, performing on a hot and humid Monday night at the […]
New wave London icons THE THE wrapped up their Australia and New Zealand part of their Ensouled world tour in Perth. Their first show in Perth in over 30 years & after four decades of […]
The WALLOWS began their biggest global headline tour thus far. The Model Tour 2024 kicked off in Perth & our photographer headed down to catch the show Celebrating the band’s highly anticipated third studio album, Model. The […]
Before I get into the bones of this review. This is a spoiler alert. Where the hell has Frank Turner live been all my life. How have I not seen him live before? What a […]
It’s 1996 and I’m 11. I’m gifted a bunch of CDs from my metalhead Uncle. Unknowingly I put one in my Sony Discman and hear ‘Twist’ for the first time. It’s confusing, it’s wildly overstimulating […]
Monday night isn’t the usual night for a lively band to pull an equally lively crowd. But the first show of The Gaslight Anthem’s quick three night, three-city hop, quickly dispels the myth. Maybe a […]
This show has been forty-four years in the making, and it has been worth every moment of the wait. This was the second show in the run of “The First Four Tour” and if the […]
Welcome to the 8424 Tour… 40 years of The Cult. Sometimes it seems like forever, but when that old friend returns you always greet them with open arms. The Cult is back in Australia for […]
