Live Review: Ryan Adams, Jenny Lewis

"It's a testament to Adams' tenacity and professionalism that he sticks to his guns, ignoring the shitty part of the crowd."

Live Review: Jenny Lewis, Fraser A Gorman

"The music she and her five-piece band create is pure California."

Live Review: Major Leagues, Jody, Black Zeros

"Balancing gloomy melancholy with playfulness is tough, but Major Leagues achieve it with keen ears for complex textures."

Live Review: American Football, Birthmark, Hollow Everdaze

The band "struck the careful balance between seamless musical precision and raw, honest emotion".

"Packed with in-jokes and crowd interaction, the show worked best when the two comics were pleasantly perplexed."

The Thrilling Adventure Hour

"The Thrilling Adventure Hour’s fresh take on 1940s radio drama mixed old-timey charm with contemporary comic flair"

Live Review: Oh Mercy, Pearls

"The set bolstered the crowd’s confidence in what is surely going to be one of the better Australian records of the year."

Live Review: Babaganoüj, Bearhug, Black Zeros

"Sounding tighter and more confident than ever."

Live Review: Owen Pallett

"Pallett’s compositions are remarkably complex on record, but the way he brought them to life on stage set minds reeling."
