Live Review: Chris Cornell

"Chris Cornell is a '90s Robert Plant. Whether this is old news or hotly debatable to you is irrelevant."

Live Review: Lucinda Williams, Dan Sultan

"Williams quite simply plays music that makes you go, 'Damn!'"

Live Review: Mercury Rev, James Dela Cruz

"Mercury Rev were art rock in dazzling glory, almost too grandiose for the small setting — but they never overcooked it."

Live Review: Ratatat, Black Cab

"Ratatat try to cool the crowd down by spraying their allocation of water over us but, as the temperature in the room rises, it's only a band-aid."

Live Review: Lontalius 'Kick In The Head'

Well here's a way to flip everything on it's head. Welcome LONTALIUS' latest single.

Live Review: Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Alex Cameron

"It's one of those rare nights — the crowd is seeing the right band at the right venue on the back of the right album, everything has come together."

Live Review: Unwritten Law, Grenadiers, The Lizards

"The songs represented Unwritten Law's 'best of' — but it wasn't the best of Russo."

Live Review: Taylor Swift

"Swift is a contemporary cultural phenomenon — a bonafide world famous pop star in a large scale production."

Live Review: Father John Misty, Cameron Avery

"The Ideal Husband finds Tillman writhing on the ground with the mic inserted into the crotch of his strides."

Live Review: Lagwagon, The Flatliners, Mixtape For The Drive

"Lagwagon never missed a beat, mixing maturity and boundless energy into a dynamic set."

Live Review: One Electric Day

"Farnham's honey-and-lemon presence was a balm on the balmy evening. You're the voice, and John Farnham is a human Soother."

Live Review: Angus & Julia Stone, Mansionair, Dan Kelly & His Dream Band, Jordan McRobbie

"The punters coalesced into a standing crowd once Angus & Julia Stone emerged on stage, with a plenty of applause and support for the duo."
