Live Review: Tame Impala & The Growl
They control their sound through cutting-edge musicianship; they know exactly what they’re doing and don’t owe a damn thing to any scene or movement.

Live Review: Gotye, PVT & Bertie Blackman
I envy fans who can remember seeing him in tiny venues with that same vibrant charm, free of the trappings and responsibilities of performing as a newly minted pop star.

It was the same voice throughout the entire set, for each and every tune, and by the end, despite the beautiful tone in songs like One Good Arm and My Dear Daughter, it all sounded sorta the same.
