LIVE SHOW REVIEW + GALLERY // TOTTY + IMAGINARY PEOPLE + DRIFT (THE LANSDOWNE)
The energy in the room the whole night was just incredible throughout each set and the bands brought their A game as soon as they stepped foot onto the stage. It was a wonderful night, with wonderful people and it will stay in everyone’s minds for a long time.
LIVE SHOW & GALLERY // Sweater Curse + Pinkish Blu (Cambridge Hotel)
Hearing the classic stuff, some new stuff, and some really new stuff was an absolute treat for the audience.
LIVE SHOW + GALLERY // Vanilla Gorilla + Mild West, Dyer Maker + The Hamilton Alpine Club
Local bands launching their latest music will always be some of the best gigs to attend, and Vanilla Gorilla’s single launch was no exception to this
GALLERIES
Live Show Gallery + Review // The Rubens + Alice Ivy + Mia Wray (Bar On The Hill)
After a tough twelve months, this gig felt like one big hug, bringing everyone back and reuniting the music industry. The night is one that will stick with me for such a long time, with The Ruben’s set being one of my all-time favourites.
LIVE SHOW REVIEW + GALLERY // RedHook + Reliqa + Linear (Cambridge Hotel)
To say that RedHook and the supports killed it on Friday night is a massive understatement. Despite it being a seated gig, the energy from both the bands and the audience made for a super fun night, filled with awesome music and terrific performances from all three bands.
LIVE SHOW GALLERY + REVIEW // Creo + TILD (The Lansdowne)
Another boring Thursday night calls for the perfect opportunity for a great night of live music and what better way to do that than having two talented bands play great sets at the Lansdowne.
LIVE SHOW GALLERY + REVIEW // The Buoys + Mission: Banana (The Cambridge Hotel)
Marking a return to gigs in the Warehouse at the Cambridge Hotel, The Buoys return to Newcastle with a bang supported by local favourites Mission: Banana.
LIVE SHOW REVIEW + GALLERY // BOYSCLUB (The Factory Theatre)
This is punk. It is honest, relentless and draws both social criticism and reflection. The type of music that makes you sit back and think about the world around you.
REVIEWS
SINGLE REVIEW // ‘When I Fall’ – Cooks & Bakers
‘When I Fall’ is the newest release from Newcastle’s Cooks & Bakers, an indie anthem that will be cemented into your head for days after listening.
EP REVIEW // ‘Acoustic Live’ – Lastlings
Queensland Electronic sibling duo Lastlings have unplugged their D.J Equipment and shared their aptly titled EP with us; Acoustic Live. It comes after their acclaimed 2020 release, First Contact. This EP restyles a number of their hit tracks and really displays the experienced and talented musicians the brother and sister are.
LIVE THEATRE REVIEW // ‘Two Point Oh’ (Civic Playhouse, Newcastle)
Knock And Run Theatre is back with another incredible piece of work directed by James Chapman. Two Point Oh (2.0), written by Jeffrey Jackson is a play that mixes traditional theatre with multimedia in a way that will fascinate, intrigue (and at times, scare you).
LIVE SHOW REVIEW // Yours & Owls Festival (Wollongong)
Though facing teething pains, Yours & Owls is a return to form for live music in this state and for festivals on a wider scale. With acts performing at 100 and music-starved attendees ready to dance their feet off, it’s a promising sign of what’s to come.
THEATRE REVIEW // Plaques & Tangles (Creative Arts Space, Newcastle)
Good theatre is supposed to make you stop and think, and that’s precisely what Plaques & Tangles did
INTERVIEWS
INTERVIEW // Hattie Oates on ‘Her Latest Single, Getting Back On Stage and Road Trip Traditions
I don’t think sticking to a genre as an artist is as important these days as it used to be because the music world is so single based. You could do a whole album of completely different genres and you would be picking a different audience for each track which I don’t think is a negative thing.
INTERVIEW// Holly Hebe On: Musical Journeys, Creative Sampling and The Future.
We moved around a lot there, it’s funny to think about all the different houses and the different stages of my life in each space
INTERVIEW // Creo: Jorjee on ‘Demon to Love’, Self Reflection and Sydney Culture
There’s a lot of trial and error, back and forth, and about 20 versions of the song before we got to the final version that we stuck with, whether it was the intertwining melodies that were too distracting or having to remove one or two things. It’s the trial and error that makes the process an arduous journey, but in the end a rewarding one.
INTERVIEW // Gabriel Paris On: Musical Journeys, Inspiration and the Future
I have issues confronting my true feelings in some situations… I need something that gets everything down in black and white.
INTERVIEW // Sampson: On ‘Closer’, Inspiration and Live Shows
I remember singing but I could hear everyone else singing the lyrics cos they new the song, which was crazy like I almost felt like I should stop singing and just let them sing it.
