Live Review: A Not So Silent Night

A big night before Xmas

Live Review: New Year's Eve Fiesta

Western Australia's finest hit the Rosemount to send off 2015 in style, capping off the year with a mighty bang - who even needs Falls?

Live Review: A Not So Silent Night Fest

"The Rosemount played host to more madness than you could poke an oversize candy cane at this weekend."

Live Review: Hair Of The Dog Festival

"A steam train of a vocalist, Sean Gorman has one of the most iconic voices in the local scene."

Live Review: Tangled Thoughts Of Leaving, Serious Beak, Foxes, Skullcave

"Involuntary headbanging and unruly hand convulsions were experienced."

Live Review: WAM Festival Sunday Best

"The urban myth goes that this trans-generational band are the sons of saxophonist Alan Holbrook."

Live Review: Morgan Bain, Datura4, Matty T Wall, Andrew Winton

"The amount of energy in the performance is breathtaking and the climax has everybody in a feelgood mood."

Live Review: WAM Festival Saturday Spectacular

Punters have only begun to scratch the surface of WA live music.

Live Review: The Riptide Movement, The Healys

"There were times where they'd happen to wing parts of their songs and they pulled through with no dramas every time."

Live Review: Pool Boy, Dream Rimmy, Divorce Party, Laurel Fixation

"Commons' vocal is soft spoken and driven by reverb and jangly vocal effects that work wonders for their unique sound."

Live Review: Ruby Boots, The Ghost Hotel, Flooded Palace, The Little Lord Street Band

"There were parts of the performance that were brilliant, including the songwriting, Boots’ edgy voice, the unity of the band and the harmonies, but all were completely overshadowed by her attitude"

Live Review: Paul Dempsey, Fall Electric

"He received applause in response to telling everyone talking to shut the fuck up"
