"It’s super exciting. It’s probably the most exciting part of my career and my life at the moment but it’s very nerve-racking because you don’t really know what’s going to happen."

A great local live act.

It was finally time for headliners The Love Junkies to make their way onstage, albeit a little under the influence, to deliver a knockout set of some of their live favourites and send the large crowd that had gathered outside home on a high note.

"Overall All This Talk shows the band still refining their sound but exploring other avenues and ultimately getting closer to something unique."

"I think if I stayed longer and tried to keep the MSO afloat, something would have had to give, there would have been some compromise somewhere and so it was a very natural decision."

"They grabbed him and threw him out of the festival quite aggressively, and he’s the kind of guy who’s not very much into being touched like that so he was losing it a bit."

They welcomed Tame Impala frontman and part-time POND member Kevin Parker to play glockenspiel alongside members of Doctopus, and of course, Green Man, capping off the show with an electrifying version of Midnight Mass.

Leonard Cohen's performance at the Perth Arena serves as the highlight of 2013 for Scott Aitken.

What’s Your Utopia? further solidifies the band’s varied yet always uplifting sound and will go down well this summer.

"Some people only know making music on their laptop on the move; for me it’s not the norm. But I have to get some work done on this tour so I’m going to try and make myself do it."
