Live Review: Mark Lanegan Band, The Laurels

"Stompin' good bluesy rock."

Live Review: Jack The Stripper, Daemon Pyre, Gvrlls, Honest Crooks

"The Strippers have an interesting back catalogue to draw from with some truly hardcore blistering numbers..."

"It is also inescapably uplifting simply because it is so beautiful."

Live Review: Abbe May, Bec Sandridge, Rackett

"May owned the house and held the crowd, letting us into her space with wicked humour and sultry self-possession."

Burlesque: Strip, Strip, Hooray!

"Cleavage plunged and bosoms swelled, heels were killer and a vintage fur stole - faux or otherwise - was the accessory du jour."

Live Review: Vintage Trouble

"Cheesy grins [were] spotted throughout the house long before the lights went down."

The Invisible Dot Cabaret

"Among the many delights to be found was Steen Raskopoulos' surreal, absurdist sketch comedy — no small thing to pull off live."

Live Review: The Darkness, Apes

"All the classic elements of a The Darkness gig were hauled out of the toy box."

Just For Laughs: The Stand Up Series

"There wasn't much that escaped scrutiny."

Live Review: Dead Letter Circus, 10 Years, Guards Of May

"Dead Letter Circus have grown into one of the most accomplished acts Australia has ever produced."

Live Review: Thirsty Merc, Alice Terry, This Way North

"The hometown crowd belted out the singalongs, clapalongs, howled the call and response and enjoyed the funky breakdowns and impressive solos."

Live Review: Megadeth, Children Of Bodom

"One of the more surprising sights at the Megadeth show at the Hordern has to have been the number of kids sitting on parental shoulders."
