Lots of energy, lots of happy fans and a fight. Pretty Standard B&E show, really.

Despite attendance being down, probably due to this being their second visit in less than 12 months, Fear Factory continues to command one of the most loyal metal audiences in these parts. Keep fighting the machines of hate, lads.

Her high points are what artists strive to achieve throughout entire careers. Watching her fill her songs with her life as she grows will be worth the wait.

Overall it was a fun night of new Australian music, but all of these bands can and will play better gigs in the future.

He dedicated Space Ambassador to “all the space cadets” and with that kinda style, successfully thwarted every single hip hop stereotype.

For only one EP, he easily entertained the small crowd for a little over an hour. It was a polite yet poignant performance for a man who’s certainly got more in the tank.

The Love Junkies end their sweaty, animated show with a bang, promising longing punters they’ll definitely be heading our way again soon.

The evening ostensibly wraps up with Thank You (For Loving Me At My Worst), but it’s a bit difficult to pretend you’re not coming back to play an encore when you leave an entire orchestra behind onstage.

To anyone who missed their numerous shows in Western Australia this week, get along next time. You will not be disappointed.

After a delayed start the unorthodox quartet that is Mental Powers closed out proceedings and their at-times heavy, grinding beats, littered with warm melodies, were punctuation marks on an excellent night.
