LIVE SHOW REVIEW + GALLERY // BUGS + Melaleuca, Teenage Joans (Oxford Art Factory)
A night full of friends, covers, new songs, jokes and dancing gave a diamond like shine to BUGS late show at Oxford Art Factory last Friday.
LIVE SHOW GALLERY + REVIEW // Spacey Jane + Jess Day (Enmore Theatre)
As the instruments echoed throughout the venue, they created such a euphoric atmosphere and in those moments every worry faded away and nothing mattered but the sweet sounds of Spacey Jane.
LIVE SHOW GALLERY + REVIEW // Great Gable + Supathick + Velvet Bloom (Cambridge Hotel)
Overall, this was a pretty fantastic show from all three artists on the night. It was so wonderful for Great Gable to finally tour their debut album across Australia
GALLERIES
LIVE SHOW GALLERY + REVIEW // Ruby Fields + Towns (The Factory Theatre, Sydney)
Ultimately, Tuesday night was a triumphant return to form for Fields. While she made the most of the seated shows last year, there’s something special about having a dance with your mates and watching the band do the same.
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
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.
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 // The Vanns on: Red Light, Touring and Influences
We caught up with Illawarra legends The VANNS to chat about touring, memories, and their latest killer single ‘Red Light’. Here’s what they had to say about it
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.
