Xavier Rubetzki Noonan, Journalist

Live Review: Brian Wilson

"For a show with Wilson's name all over it, the real stars were his terrific backing band."

Live Review: Palms, Babaganouj, Jody

"Palms celebrated the launch of their second album with the kind of party Mike Baird probably has nightmares about."

Live Review: Jeff Rosenstock, Antarctigo Vespucci, Camp Cope, Sweater Season

"Sweaty, exhausted, but alive, the audience left with big dumb grins all over their faces."

Live Review: Saskwatch, Cub Sport, WildHoney

"In reverence, the band placed all their mics in front of the kit to give the finale even more impact."

Live Review: Albert Hammond Jr, Gunns

"The set was an absolute spectacle of controlled chaos."

"If the atmosphere of hope and celebration at Centennial Park was anything to go by, there'll still be plenty of Tropfests in the years to come."

Live Review: Beach House

"Legrand's versatile voice was soft and sweet one moment, then commanding — regal, almost — but always utterly captivating."

Live Review: Toro Y Moi, World Champion, Jonti DJ

"The new tracks fit well alongside the more explicitly disco- and dance-influenced work from recent years."

The Music 2015 Writers' Poll: Xavier Rubetzki Noonan

Live Review: Jeremy Neale, Black Zeros, Weak Boys, Yeevs

"It wouldn't be a Jeremy Neale set if that smooth sax didn't also get to absolutely shred on top of some of the finest pop-rock tunes known to man."

Live Review: They Might Be Giants, Smaal Cats

"It’s admirable to watch a band who still love what they do, and love that others love it too."

Live Review: Laura Marling, DD Dumbo

"Laura Marling must have her work cut out for her when putting together a setlist."
