I Used To Skate Once 10 @ The Zoo, 26.06.2014
An ever-present in my social diary as soon as they announce the dates. Looking forward to this year’s show although not sure how much the change from a Thursday night to a Friday night will change it. I liked it best when The Zoo opened at 5:30pm and I could saunter over straight from work […]
Sonic Masala Festival @ Greenslopes Bowls Club, 21.06.2014
Even though it’s less than six months outside the Australian summer music festival season, today shows just how out of practice I am, at least from a physical sense of coping with an all day event, as those comfy couches dotted around Greenslopes Bowls Club provide a safe haven for most of the day when […]
DZ Deathrays + Palms + Foam @ The Zoo, 09.05.2014
At a guess I’d say that the members of Foam have a few albums between them, at least two of which are by Nirvana. It’s the second time I’ve seen Palms recently and they get a generous 45 minute for a supporting band. Tonight’s show is a few days after my 10th anniversary of living […]
Cults + The Furrs @ The Zoo, 06.05.2014
First published on Collapse Board Back in Collapse Board’s glory days of 2011 we ran 10 reviews of Cult’s debut album. It didn’t go down very well with a number of people and I can remember one nameless Brisbane-based street press music writer (nameless more because I can’t actually remember who actually said, rather than […]
Velociraptor + The Good Sports + The Maryettas @ Black Bear Lodge, 24.04.2014
First published on Collapse Board The first rule of writing about Velociraptor is that you have reference how many people play in Velociraptor. The second rule of writing about Velocirpator is that when it comes to live reviews you have to mention what ‘mode’ Velociraptor are playing in for that particular show (i.e. how many […]
Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band @ Brisbane Entertainment Centre, 26.02.2014
If not for a 10 day sojourn to the UK in August, this would have been the Gig Of The Year. I also saw the last Springsteen show at the BEC in March 2013, less than 12 months ago, and as good as that was, this was another level. For the 2013 tour I didn’t […]
