"XXYYXX’s dedication and impeccable timing was enough to turn a skeptic into a true fan, although The Standard that night seemed to be void of skeptics."

"This evening is a testament to DIY recording and the ingenuity of home producers."

"His skills are certainly there, however the live show lacks any ability to bring together his influences and create something distinctive."

"Ultimately the crowd gathered were here to worship at the altar of Warpaint."

"The screen on the Sidney Myer Music Bowl stage begins playing footage of The National making their way up from backstage and thousands of fans cry out with excitement, adding to a roar that rises the closer they get."

"The show lacked a certain intimacy that was present when the band played at the Enmore back in 2011, and at times it did feel more like a main stage at a festival."

"I give this show four out of five pint-sized beers."

"As his fingers side across nylon and metal strings – aided and abetted by some sexy-looking stomp boxes – the shimmering sounds invite us to drift into some intricately fingerpicked shoegaze atmospherics, grunge and psychedelics."
