Live Review: Future Music Festival
Perth’s eighth Future Music Festival was a hot, sweaty mess of skin, booze and good times.

Live Review: Ólafur Arnalds, Sophie Hutchings
Accompanied towards the end by guest vocalist from the new record For Now I Am Winter, Arnór Dan, whose soaring tenor sent chills up this reviewer’s spine, Arnalds finished off with arguably his most popular song, Ljósið, which was, as it turns out, written for a bathtub commercial.

Live Review: The National, Luluc
Finishing on this note was unlike anything this reviewer has witnessed before, and it’ll be a long time before it’s done this well again.

Live Review: City & Colour, Husky, Twin Forks
Green’s ability to translate his songs from recording to live performance made for an astounding show and left the audience raving all the way back to the classic concert-gridlocked car park.

Live Review: Melbourne Ska Orchestra
It was an interesting night unlike anything I’d seen before, and the audience left thoroughly breathless and satisfied.

Live Review: The Paper Kites, Georgia Fair, Robbie Miller
Each of the acts gave a unique talent-filled interpretation of their musical style, and the perfect venue choice for the three bands saw a successful gig that captivated the audience right from the start of the night.

Live Review: Snakadaktal, Fishing, The Flower Drums
Unfortunately the venue choice was not ideal for their more ambient numbers, and despite the fact that their performance was impressive, this counts for little when the band is hardly heard over the raucous crowd.

Live Review: Archer & Light, Anton Franc, These Winter Nights, The Atlas Mountains
The single, Melbourne (I Used To Be Your All), proved to be a bit of a singalong, before they moved to a stripped-down, onstage debut of new, unrecorded song, Deathbed. Watch this space - these guys are going places.

Live Review: Gignition
Overall the evening showcased a talented mix of up-and-coming Perth musicians.
