Live Review: Flowertruck, Big White, Aegean Sun

"Warm, friendly rock loosened up the room like home brew, lyrics with a fond sense of place"

Live Review: Toxic Holocaust, Bulletbelt, Asylum, Malakyte

"The energy and inventiveness in Toxic Holocaust's set tonight makes it obvious why they're still going strong."

Live Review: Dustin Tebbutt, Jesse Davidson, Caitlin Park

"His performance reassured fans with a sense of familiarity, but also the excitement of something fresh."

Live Review: Day Ravies, Thigh Master, Primitive Motion, Martyr Privates, The Goon Sax

"[Day Ravies] too establish a fine groove from the outset, their dreamy brand of shoegaze-infused pop-rock light but impenetrable."

Live Review: The Paper Kites, Patrick James

The Paper Kites set out to prove that Melbourne is a city that sings like a bird with their engaging, energetic show

Live Review: The Creases, Archers, St. Morris Sinners

The usually reliable Creases suffered some unfortunate technical setbacks, but their openers helped soften the blow

Live Review: Violent Soho, Palms, Budd

"A few short years ago, selling out The Zoo would have been an achievement for these kids, but these days it's like an intimate thank-you to fans"

Live Review: Battles

"Punters lurch forward from the balcony booths as if they've put their life savings on an outside-chance racehorse."

Live Review: Nao 'Bad Blood'

UK singer/songwriter Nao is one of this year's most exciting breakthrough acts and with each release she just gets better, including her latest 'Bad Blood'.

Live Review: Wafia 'Heartburn'

Wafia has made a name for herself from notable collaborations with Japanese Wallpaper, Charles Murdoch and Ta-Ku but now it's her time to shine.

Live Review: Housse de Racket ‘The Tourist’ (Official Video)

Music out of France probably conjures up some memories of hellish French class videos in high school, dodgy techno and the Moulin Rouge soundtrack. HOUSSE DE RACKET are back with their track ‘The Tourist’ and a spellbinding video proving the French get it.

Live Review: Guy Pearce, Darren Middleton

"This crowd talked, and talked, and talked. Their banal conversations were clearly more important than the musicians on stage."
