Melburnians Dalli played to a growing crowd last night, warming the arriving hearts with their genuine demeanour. A sometimes difficult support slot seemed effortless to these lads and the audience was taken by their electro-folk, travel-inspired songs.

The second act for the night was Sydney-based duo Left, who were all RnB, bass-heavy tracks and synth riffs. Fronted by Sarah Corry, who wasn’t afraid to use her sensuality as well as her powerful voice, a rowdy audience was soon on side. The set clincher was a Destiny’s Child cover to which the audience hollered along. Other half of the duo, guitarist Jono Graham (Made in Japan) filled out their sound, creating lift at the perfect moments. The set was a little touch and go and it seemed like the project was still quite fresh, but who knows, Left could be a diamond in the rough.

All the gorgeous Thelma Plum had to do was walk on stage and the crowd at Jive fell into a hushed reverence. Plum delivered a calm and beguiling performance, playing hit after hit. Her new EP, Monsters, has been getting a lot of airplay Australia-wide and it’s easy to see why. Backed by three very talented and seasoned musicians, her sound was fuller and gutsier than on previous shows and the fact that Jive was sold out is a good indicator that she has a solid following in Adelaide. After a few songs, Plum acknowledged the crowd, naming Adelaide as one her favourite cities to play in. Halfway through the show, Plum picked up a Telecaster and played a few of her older songs on her own, charming her fans further. It’s great to see contemporary Indigenous artists getting the respect and recognition they deserve and Plum lived up to all expectations. This is the kind of tasteful folk pop that appeals; lyrically meaningful and musically satisfying with enough rhythm to sway to.
