Reviews / Live

As the performance comes to a close, most punters walk back out to the dull, weeping city in a daze, as if this lively performance temporarily transported them to sunnier places – perhaps to a beach in California, where Gold Fields have only recently returned from.

The unadorned guitar work was buoyant and crisp and Keith’s vocals were warm and natural. This was inoffensive music done really well, and served as a nice mid-week escape.

I had a strange sense of Deja Vu as I went to write an article on the new video for IS TROPICAL's latest single 'Lovers Cave'....

Classixx make a remix return with their rendition of The Preatures' 'Is This How You Feel?'.

A busted synth causes a bit of confusion and a slightly underwhelming conclusion to the night as music brimming with this much invention demands more onstage time, but minor quibbles aside, this has been a super-impressive short set from a band that are fast becoming local legends and deservedly so.

It was the upbeat, keys-driven songs that were the real dance numbers, and after a concise encore that ended with The Beatles’ Eight Days A Week, there was not a Fence Sitter in sight.

A four-song encore led by an acoustic It’s Complicated and concluding with The Downfall Of Us All caps it all off, the masses sweaty, the faces smiling, confetti cannons showering us with ribbon rainbows.
