Mere Noise 10th Birthday Party: Vegas Kings + HITS + Tiny Migrants + Death Rides A Horse @ Black Bear Lodge, 07.09.2013
Seeing the Vegas Kings tonight really makes me miss Ric’s circa 2005/06. A few years ago Black Bear Lodge would have been packed and an easy sell out, and it’s really surprising that it isn’t, even more so as it’s free entry. I guess the trouble is that all those 20-somethings grew up, started families […]
Bloods + Major Leagues @ The Worker’s Club, Melbourne, 30.08.2013
I’m always surprised whenever there’s one of those lists that places Melbourne at the top of the most liveable cities.

Kirin J Callinan + Standish/Carlyon + Scraps + Per Purpose @ The Zoo, 29.06.2013
I’ve been suffering with a throat infection (that almost 3 months on doesn’t feel like it’s fully gone) and miss out on the BBQ/Lovely Legs/Go Violets show at The Troubadour on the Friday night, hoping that I’ll be feeling better for tonight. I still feel completely wiped out but it’s a good looking bill that […]
You Am I @ The Tivoli, 26.06.2013
I’m heading to the Tivoli for the first night of two You Am I shows at the venue, where they’re playing their Hourly Daily and Hi Fi Way albums in full Don’t Look Back-style. There’s no information saying anything about support acts for the night and the band’s Facebook page announces that they’re playing at […]
Beaches + Per Purpose + Occults @ Black Bear Lodge, 14.06.2013
Everyone is a photographer these days. If you’ve been to a gig in the last few years you will have no doubt noticed the fact. From mobile phone cameras, through digital compacts and all the way to DSLRs, everyone is at it. For better or worse, everyone is at it. For worse is the change […]
