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 […]
HITS + The Horrortones @ Triffid, 03.05.2015
The continuing series of first time visits to new/refurbished venues continues with a first time expedition to Triffid. I miss living in the inner suburbs close to the city, and if I still lived where I use to live in Teneriffe, this venue would have basically been at the end of my road, within a […]
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 […]
Mere Noise Meltdown 2011 @ Woodland, 03.12.2011
Out of all the people putting out music in Brisbane, Mere Noise is by far and away my favourite label and has been the whole time I’ve lived in Brisbane. Mere Noise might have a much smaller roster of active bands than some of Brisbane’s more glamorous, bigger and well connected labels but those bands but are […]
New York Dolls + Hits + Velociraptor @ The Hi-Fi, 13.10.2011
I got to see the New York Dolls a couple of time back in 2007 when I went to both the Sydney and Gold Coast V Festivals. When you get to see a band a couple times in quick succession, you realise just how planned and rehearsed everything is, from the same set lists in […]
Flavours Of Scuzz @ Woodland, 09.07.2011
The Bands: A+ On paper it was an unbelievably good looking line-up but if there’s one thing that always elevates gigs and festivals it’s coming away having seen/heard/experienced some bands that you’ve never seen before but which you really want to see again and hope that they come back to Brisbane soon. There might have only […]
The Drones + Witch Hats + Hits @ The Hi-Fi
In an age when live music venues in all major cities around the world are closing, or being made to close, a brand new venue in Brisbane should be a cause for celebration, although it’s somewhat muted by the fact that it has coincided with The Arena closing as a live venue and being transformed […]
