Live Review: Anne Calvi, Adalita

"An intimate evening in the company of such an astonishingly talented singer-songwriter makes a perfect end to the week."

Live Review: Aco Timeline Ft The Presets

Such an undertaking is inevitably going to invite flaws, but for the most part Timeline manages to be an engaging couple of hours all the same.

Live Review: Ellie Goulding, Broods

"Goulding re-emerged to finish off her set with Burn, a hit song that demonstrated her prowess and humble presence to the crowd, ensuring ticket holders would not leave disappointed."

Live Review: Goodgod Tin Pan Alley

"It wasn’t until South Africa’s best-kept secret Penny Penny took the stage that it became really apparent why this show had to be at the Opera House."

Live Review: Royal Blood, Apes

"Like fine dining, Royal Blood leave fans hungry for more but we leave Corner Hotel with satisfied, ringing ears."

Live Review: DZ Deathrays, Palms, Foam

For the last song of the tour, every member of every band came on stage, shirtless, for a spirited rendition of the Beastie Boys.

Live Review: James Blunt, Busby Marou

Returning in a space suit, his encore performance consisted of Stay The Night, Bonfire Heart and 1973. Vivid was lighting up skyscrapers around Sydney, while James Blunt spectacularly lit up the inside of the State Theatre.

Live Review: Grim Fandango, Lincoln Le Ferve & The Insiders, Dead Glorious, Ratking, Loners

Even with the fiery ginger, Burgs, absent on bass, Grim Fandango still managed to deliver everything good about punk rock and the juvenile aches of nostalgic noise.

Live Review: Defected In The House, Kenny Dope

We’re on a rooftop, the sun is clocking off for the day, replaced by the lights of the Wheel of Brisbane. Tables of well-dressed house cats dine on pulled pork, brisket, and the bar is picking up the drink bill for the first four hours of the event – it’s all rather glamorous.

Live Review: Kingswood, Jenny Broke The Window, Tales In Space

Fergus Linacre has one of if not the best high-pitched rock growls in Australia and put it under the spotlight with Yeah Go Die before Alex Laksa once again stole the show with an impressive solo. Putting a reggae twist on the end of crowd favourite Ohio capped off the set many felt privileged to see.

Live Review: Little Odessa, The Plastic Fangs

While being an appropriate send-off for the beloved Hideaway as a music venue, this is only the beginning of Little Odessa showing off the Brisbane indie-pop vibes, as they set out on the road.

Live Review: Meat Puppets, Love Hate Rebellion, Ma-genta Voyeur

A perfectly fun finale by a band still unwaveringly marching to the beat of their own drum.
