Live Review: Colin Stetson

Arcade Fire’s Canadian-based saxophonist has one of the most unique playing styles you’ll ever see.

Live Review: Chris Thile

The crowd loved him so much (standing ovation) that even though he ran overtime, he invited them to meet him outside on the Spiegeltent steps for an encore.

Live Review: Amadou & Mariam

A confronting and delightful experience of music in the dark, attempted with an open mind and an open mind.

Live Review: Ambrose Akinmusire Quintet

The quintet were tight and meditative, offering five often separate strains of jazz to wrap your head around that somehow moved as one, coming together in a frenzy on the last beat to redefine sound.

Live Review: Dom Flemons

There are musicians who perform true to their recordings and then there are songsters like Dom Flemons who one-up the recording and give everything back.

Live Review: Lee Fields & The Expressions

Forget the New Year – Lee Fields will take you blissfully back to the strains of old-school soul where groove is a necessity and time almost doesn’t exist.

Live Review: The Falls Music & Arts Festival

A reverie of wistful pop, sweat, fresh coconuts, faux hippies and the wedding of two giant skeletons, the first ever Falls Fest in Byron Bay was extraordinary.

Live Review: David Dallas, PNC

He definitely holds his own and the crowd went crazy for him.

Live Review: Steve Clisby

Steve Clisby’s lounge music chic was perfect for the dining experience of the Brass Monkey but as a headlining act, he needed something more to get people out of their seats and grooving.

Album Review: Howard Shore - The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug OST

The Hobbit soundtrack is essentially a remix of all your favourites from the original Lord Of The Rings trilogy, almost every track a variation on a theme.

Reviews / Album

Album Review: Various - The Best Man Holiday Original Soundtrack

O Holy Night doesn’t quite hit hard enough, sung in unsteady strains by youngsters Jayda Brown and Jasmine Watkins, but Emeli Sandé’s humble Winter Wonderland is near on perfect and Mary J. Blige can sing the crap out of anything.
