Deftones

Live Review: Deftones, Interpol, Ecca Vandal @ Qudos Bank Arena, Sydney

After ten long years starved of a proper Deftones Australia tour, Sydney couldn’t have been more ready to welcome back the alternative metal pioneers, who shared an unrelenting gauntlet of songs, both old and new.

Paul Dempsey

Live Review: Paul Dempsey @ Pier Bandroom, Frankston

Shotgun Karaoke is the best low-stakes gig you’ll see this year. And that’s most of its charm.

Bernie Dieter's Club Kabarett in Melbourne

Live Review: Bernie Dieter’s Club Kabarett @ Meat Market, Melbourne

Channelling Weimar Berlin, Club Kabarett returns to Melbourne with a ragtag ensemble of misfits, leaving a trail of glitter and decadent debauchery in its wake.

Baxter Dury

Live Review: Baxter Dury @ UNSW Roundhouse, Sydney

What we admire about Dury is in the imagery of his storytelling filtered through the groove of the synth-bass-drums synergy. It’s a simple formula, yet difficult to do effortlessly.

Mumford & Sons

Live Review: Mumford & Sons @ Brisbane Entertainment Centre

With seven years between shows, Mumford & Sons' arrival was well overdue, with six studio albums and a whole lot of catching up to cover.
