Album Review: Vampire Weekend - Modern Vampires Of The City

It hits an emotional chord that’s hard to explain but with angelic choirs, arpeggios of harpsichord and indecipherably picturesque lyrics, you won’t find this kind of uplifting despair anywhere else.

Album Review: She & Him - Volume 3

Volume 3 builds up on what’s come before without really building out. Deschanel and Ward have their thing, and they’re sticking to it.

Album Review: Airbourne - Black Dog Barking

They’ve released better records too, but Black Dog Barking is a boisterous aural assault that should justifiably have tears of joy welling up in the eyes of many a rock tragic.

Album Review: Deptford Goth - Life After Defo

In the end, this is a fine debut, very rooted in ‘early 2010s’ electro sounds and hopefully a sign of better things to come.

Adrian Edmondson & The Bad Shepherds

Adrian Edmondson and the Bad Shepherds were a slightly awkward fit for the Perth Comedy Festival.

Danny McGinlay: Hypertonic

It's a little dirty, incredibly charming and a tad tongue in cheek and marks McGinlay as one to watch in coming years.

Greg Fleet: The Boy That Cried Sober

While the audience could easily think that what they are hearing this time around could also be all fictional bravado, the honesty in Fleet’s performance tells us otherwise.

Daniel Sloss: The Show

A few more years’ life experience and an expanded world-view will likely add the depth that his show currently lacks.

The first time a woman hollered out, Jefferies zeroed in on her and tore her to shreds for being a distraction. It is best to know what you are getting yourself into at a Jefferies show.

Edible Pets: The Farewell Tour

Though there are some lazy jokes in the piece, Dyktynski's acting chops hit the right marks and the lack of a fourth wall makes it easy for the audience to go with the gags.

Peter Helliar: Whatevs (…Forevs)

It may not have been a ROFL performance but the audience left light-hearted and appreciative of an everyday fella.

Live Review: British India, Abstract Classic, Lakoda Burn

British India’s return to Wollongong was indeed a triumph.
