Texas Tea + The Gin Club + The Madisons + James X. Boyd & The Boydoids @ The Zoo, 26.10.2012

They’re far too few and far between in my book, but Texas Tea album launches are always a highlight of any year. I can’t believe it’s been four years since the last one. Where did the time go? They’re a highlight not only because they see the official release of a new set of songs […]


Texas Tea @ Black Bear Lodge, 17.08.2012

Following on from a blast of 2005 courtesy of The Dangerman last time, tonight brings another step back in time to those happy days in the Brisbane music scene and the first band I ever saw after moving to Brisbane, Texas Tea. The band are playing the same room as they did then, but as […]

Gentle Ben And His Sensitive Side + Kim Salmon @ The Ding Dong Lounge

Having seen Sixfthick and Rollerball the night before, the weekend of Brisbane-In-Melbourne continues back at The Ding Dong Lounge with Gentle Ben And His Sensitive Side. And in a role reversal from last weekend in Brisbane, Kim Salmon (albeit playing solo and without The Surrealists) is supporting. Gentle Ben was showing no signs of the […]
