Tenacious D: Old School Acoustic Style
A note to anyone in the security business: At a Tenacious D gig, there is no such thing as “crowd control”.

Live Review: The Brothers Grim
This is what I love the most about The Brothers Grim’s gigs. They are predictably unpredictable.

The Axis of Awesome: Cry Yourself a River
Touring their new album, Cry YOURSELF A River, these lewd dudes traverse a wide range of musical styles from hip hop to death metal (albeit briefly) to cover an even wider range of topics.

Paul Foot: Kenny Larch Is Dead
"You should make a point of seeing this spectacle soon before Foot’s head explodes from the pressure exerted by the plethora of disjointed ideas which spew from within."

Album Review: Fidlar - Fidlar
It won’t change your life, but if you want some cool tunes playing at your next barbeque, leavers booze up or cocaine party this may just be the thing.

Live Review: Sarah Blasko
It was a performance so tight you could sew pockets in it and have it pose as a pair of Russell Brand’s pants.

Live Review: Julia Stone

Live Review: West Coast Lowdown
With the sickly scent of curdling milk thick in the air, the Fireballs hit the stage in a furious flurry of half-naked, spitting, shouting, drinking, sweating man-flesh.

Great Balls Of Fire
“If someone in Baghdad wants to download Fireballs and likes it, I think that’s great!"

Album Review: Silent Knight - Master Plan
This is a good first album for these guys, despite some minor imperfections, and worth checking out for my hairy codpiece-wearing brethren.

Album Review: Ben Harper - By My Side
"This album is an exercise in divine simplicity, both in its content and in its presentation."
