Summer Tones @ The Zoo
After a seemingly quiet few weeks, the Summer Tones mini-festival finds itself at The Zoo on a balmy Friday night when Brisbane is enjoying an embarrassment of gig-riches; the Fire & Flood benefit at The Tivoli, featuring Powderfinger, The Grates, Robert Forster, The John Steel Singers, The Boat People and Dan Parsons, Violent Soho’s farewell […]
Gary Numan @ The Tivoli
One of my very early musical memories was this on Top Of The Pops. So when Gary Numan rolls into town to play at the Tivoli, how can I refuse. The trouble is that I only really know the very early stuff, and whilst these songs (‘Cars’, ‘Down In The Park‘, ‘We Are So Fragile‘, […]
Jeff Beck @ BCC

Laughing Clowns @ GoMA
Following on from their ATP Australia shows, Laughing Clowns returned to Brisbane to play their own show as part of the Up Late season for the GoMA’s Optimism exhibition. It was another excellent performance from the band, and one that was surprisingly well attended. There probably weren’t as many people as at Wolfmother’s gig at […]
Rave’s UnderExposed Edition
This week’s edition of Rave has the UnderExposed exhibition on the front cover. The montage includes one of my Afrirampo photos (just underneath the ‘-VE” of RAVE). The lead feature is a story I wrote about music photography to promote the exhibition, based on an interview with Time Off photographer Stephen Booth, one of the […]
