Clinkerfield attracted a sweaty crowd that packed out The Old Bar in Brunswick on Australia Day Eve to end their residency for January. They were supported by Marcus Teague of Deloris who serenaded us with his darkly sweet songs. Although the sweet soft sounds are hard to play and keep a crowd interested, Marcus was haunting but absolutely beautiful. But Clinkerf
In its 12th year The Falls Festival in Lorne, Victoria was privileged to have good weather all weekend and a studded line up. This year the festival sold out tickets a month in advance; something that hasn’t been achieved for a long time. But it was understandable with the head liners being The Black Keys and De La Soul. Out on a farm Falls provides 2 stages
After seeing this band at Meredith and viewing the emotional performance that made even the skies break, I thought I would witness their one and only Melbourne show with Conway Savage to see if it was just the whole Meredith experience that got to me. I can tell you now, that they put on just as good a show in a small Melbourne pub. Conway Savage, who is
Wonderboy and Young Nasty Man took the stage after another generically crap set by Killing Heidi. The crowd, consisting of 70% sausage was vaguely interested, but only to secure a good vantage point for The D. The backdrop was surreal. Magic castles, Roller coasters, Carnies, Ghost Train and a horizontally challenged Merry go round. Was I still at The Falls,
The Von Bondies played at the Hi Fi on Friday to a packed crowd promoting their third album “Pawn Shoppe Heart”. The band Jason, Marcie, Carrie and Don have an awesome presence on stage with Jason looking very much the rock n roll front man with long shaggy hair t-shirt and jeans. His fellow band mates however looked far cuter and almost out of place if it wasn’t for
There is nothing better than going to a music festival, and Meredith is one of the best. Set out in the middle of a farm about an hour from Geelong and half and hour from Ballarat the Meredith festival has it all. Not only does it attract bands from all over the country but unique and interesting bands from overseas that you most probably won’t get much of a chance to
The Palace in St Kilda is a great place to see a band you love on a Friday night. Not for the venue itself, which seemed generally overcrowded and whose cheapest beer costs more than the cab ride to get there, but for the plethora of decent pubs and bars within five minutes walking distance. What better lead up to the Killers than spending a beautiful
THIS IS A DRAFT! the only reason i am allowing myself to put a stream of thought up tonight is because i havent been able to stop thinking about the gig last night. The Espy in St Kilda wasn't very packed to see Perth's End of Fashion and Gelbison with special guest old man river. but i have to say that the band end of fashion impressed me to no end, the drumer
your funny lachie! i'm sure they'll love to play melbourne just for you! they're pretty cool.
For all of you devoted fans of Sniff this, of which i'm sure there are many and many of you this is just a little note to say that hopefully soon we will be leaving this sharehouse of blogs and moving into a house all of our own... in otherwords we will soon have a website. nothing is finalised yet so everyone who wants to post reviews of live gigs or who actually rea
Be thankful Melbourne because Adelaide is so close and Special Patrol came back to indulge in our music scene. Once again playing to a Thursday night crowd at the Espy in St Kilda, this time the crowd were different for 2 reasons, the first reason is that we were treated to 3 new tracks in their late night set, which seem to me to have taken on a bit of a country feel
thanks for reading! if you want to post your own reviews here just let me know because i love heaaring people's opinions about music... i'm not one of those people who is a snob about their music i figure that if you see something you like or dont like then you should be able to express that. i actually travelled about an hour to see them that night so it was awesome to be rewarded with a good honest and rocking band! thanks again buddy. jess.
i dont mean to offend, but if you're so worried about looking out for people's feelings and well being where do the prostitutes rank in this order... ? you seem to simply see them as an oject, and forgive me if i am wrong but thats what you are trying to aviod with "nice girls". i think that if you have to use anyone for sex you are low... i understand urges, i'm not saying do not be fulfilled, i'm saying that its funny that your level of respect doesn
After seeing dashboard confessional play at splendour in the grass in Byron bay on the 24th June I found myself at their side show in Melbourne on the 29th at the metro. Dashboard confessional shows are known for the phenomenon where their fans drown out singer Chris Carrabba, if you don’t believe me simply look at any live DVD of theirs. Being over here in February t
If your ever in Andorra, not that you should be or want to be, don't be disheartened my fellow music lovers because there is a music scene. Well at least music. like most things when you travel, your there only by chance. a drunken night turned into a sober reality. but there we were surrounded by mountains on Andorra's nights of nights. the Andorra r
Special Patrol played at the Espy on Thursday 17th of June and played an inspired gig after a conscious start. They started to really enjoy themselves when they realised that the small Thursday night crowd really wanted to see them. The 5 piece form Adelaide appreciated their audience and put on an amazing show that is promoting their new CD the “golden mean”. Specia
i want to be a rock star, you want to be a rock star... or at least some other profession that means you can be puerly hedonistic and roam to world with love, money, fun, sex, drugs and rock n roll in tow. this blog is the start of a revolution, be apart! what we want to set up is a place where anyone can put their thoughts, where you can tell the world what you think about music,
