Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats + Smoke @ Crowbar, 10.12.2015
Thursday and the 6th day of Gigmas Regular readers will by now know my thoughts on the Crowbar very well. It’s even worse when it’s packed as unless you’re in the first couple of rows, you can’t see anything. The stage is too low because the ceiling is too low. If tonight isn’t a sell […]
My Disco + 100% + Cured Pink @ Crowbar, 20.11.2015
Traditionally you expect the lights to get better as a gig goes on, in a similar fashion to the sound improving for the headline act. Tonight is one of those nights where the lighting goes in reverse and is best for the opening band. Cured Pink have a couple of the band being lit, 100% […]
Pulled Apart By Horses + YELLOWCATREDCAT + Release The Hounds @ Crowbar, 29.10.2015
When I saw Pulled Apart By Horses at Soundwave a few years back, they were one of the standout bands of the day. I thought there was something Zeppelin-esque in the riffs even though listening to them on Spotify the following day while editing the photos, they sounded nothing like them. It’s one of those […]
Sixfthick + HITS + Deafcult @ Crowbar, 26.09.2015
The only note I made for this show was that my ears were still ringing on the Monday. And that was with wearing earplugs. Every time a band I like and/or want to see announces a tour and the Brisbane date is at Crowbar, I die a bit inside. I’m sure they’re lovely people, it’s […]
The Smith Street Band + The Grates + Deafcult @ Crowbar , 22.07.2015
The advert for this show was a strange bill. Deafcult were the only band I’d heard of and although I wanted to get around to finally seeing them, it was a bit pricey, at $20, for a couple of bands I’d never heard of. Googling the bands showed me that one of them was the […]
Gooch Palms + Woodboot + Tempura Nights + Eyes Ninety @ Crowbar, 13.02.2015
Yet another Crowbar show and one that further cemented my views on the place. The upstairs bar is nice and the $10 price for a pint of cider, and a nice tasting one at that, are a welcome addition to the Brisbane scene where you normally expect to pay $8 or $9 for a 250ml […]
Knaw + Updead Apes + Fancy Boys @ Crowbar, 12.02.2015
I had/have no idea who Knaw were/are and although they came recommended via Facebook, I was at the Crowbar to see Undead Apes play their first show in ages (due to one of them living overseas, Indonesia I think). The name Fancy Boys was familiar from the mid-late 2000s when I first moved to Brisbane […]
The Nation Blue + Batpiss + Roku Music + Grieg @ Crowbar, 05.10.2013
Grieg are the latest Brisbane super-group featuring Jon from Undead Apes, Tamara from Hits and Alex from No Anchor. I think this might be their first show and there are probably more people here to see them than there are for the rest of the night. It’s one of those Saturday nights in Brisbane when […]
Sixfthick + Bad Vision + Tiny Migrants + Undead Apes @ Crowbar, 10.11.2012
The year looked like ending with a rare month without anything being published (only 7 in almost 7 years) but there’s just enough time for a very quick final post for 2012. I’d never been to Crowbar before. I think it’s been one of those on/off venues on Brunswick Street over the last few years […]
