The band then finished off with a beefed up version of Head Like A Hole before sending the audience home with a show-stopping rendition of Hurt that was the perfect conclusion to an amazing show from these two rock heavyweights.

Live Review: The Kite String Tangle, Kilter, Leure
The show was capped off by killer performances of both Headlines and Given The Chance, with the latter drawing arguably the biggest response of the night and making another successful performance by an artist already well on their way to achieving big things this year.

Live Review: Soundwave Festival
To play to such a magnitude, a sense of theatre is needed, and the band had that in spades.

Live Review: Bex & Turin's Wide Open Mic Night
Fresh off a win at the Fringe Festival Awards was local vocal loop master Sam Perry, who finished the night off with an incredible set where he layered vocal sounds and rhythms together for an electrifying performance of originals including Halo and Only Love, capping off a great night of local music for all involved.

Live Review: Mindfreakz, Potato Dice, The Hacks, Loners, Sciatica
Closing out the night and another enjoyable Gignition were hard-rock trio Sciatica, who got the crowd thrashing and kept rocking until the end with the swaggery rock’n’ roll style of their originals.

Live Review: The Floors, Blackmilk, Red Engine Caves, Blind Tiger Blues Box (DJ)
After a strong 14-song set, the trio capped things off with an absolutely psychotic rendition of Feed Me To The Pigs, going out with a bang and making this quite possibly the most enjoyable, if not loudest, Valentine’s Day ever.
