Reviews / Live

They’re Primus, and they don’t suck.

The two bands played deep sets, dragging out some classic cuts that played to their strengths as left-of-centre purveyors of loud noise.

As a testament to the band’s brilliant performance they left the venue having sold every copy of their album on the merch desk, and should be happy knowing those records will be put to good use.

It would have been great to hear some of the older, psychedelic instrumental tracks, like Blown from the second album, but overall, an inspiring and fun performance.

A great local live act.

This is the great thing about House Of Giants: no one is the hero, it’s the music that is the star. And you get the feeling that’s exactly how the five-piece – and everyone else in the room tonight – like it.

It was finally time for headliners The Love Junkies to make their way onstage, albeit a little under the influence, to deliver a knockout set of some of their live favourites and send the large crowd that had gathered outside home on a high note.

It was at this point that a person could have believed they were dancing at a festival amongst thousands rather than 40 in a medium-sized nightclub, truly demonstrating how transformative Max Vangeli’s euphoric remixes can be.

Fitz seems a bit lost. It feels as though he has moved into more of a supporting role vocally, which made the set feel a little one-sided. This, however, was a small gripe in what was a joyous, humorous and very entertaining night.
