Despite only living in Melbourne, a reluctance to play anywhere near as north as Brisbane in a number of years makes Rowland S Howard a real personal draw-card. Having never seen him in the flesh his gaunt appearance is a bit of a shock, but he is in good humour, and with his excellent but […]

If there is one major criticism that could be leveled at the ATP Australian line-up, it’s that it’s very male and very middle-aged. In that respect, Afrirampo are like a breath of fresh air. Sure, they have the whole clichéd Japanese female punk band thing, with the colorful outfits (resplendent with artistic face make up), the […]

All the exertion of the previous day as taken it’s toll as I wake to a world of pain, with extremely sore knees and back. Things are taken more leisurely than at Splendour, when the alarm was set for 6am on both days, so editing the first days photos starts at a more reasonable hour, […]

As with recent shows over the last couple of years, tonight’s Silver Apples set is performed as a solo set by Simeon Coxe. Similar to Fuck Buttons he’s got his array of vintage-looking instruments laid out on the table in front of him, but unlike Fuck Buttons on the Bourke Street Stage, the smaller and lower Amphitheatre Stage, […]

After the second time of climbing the hill I’m officially over it and it’s time to consider using the ski lifts, which are now in operation. The reformed Primitive Calculators sound like a band that has only played once in almost 30 years (a warm up Melbourne show a few days earlier), with an initial sense of […]

Waking up in Merrijig the first thing you notice is that even at the bottom of the mountain it’s cold enough to make getting out of bed a struggle. But once that’s been achieved and some breakfast eaten it’s a short and scenic 20 minute drive back up the mountain. After dropping my stuff off […]

Saturday was probably an even better day than Friday. Here’s a quick round-up. Time to start going through all the photos in a bit more detail now and to try to remember all the things that happened over the weekend, a tall order all things considered. I probably should have taken some notes as I […]

Back in Brisbane after an amazing weekend at Mt Buller. I had planned on doing a quick round-up of Friday yesterday but the internet place on the mountain wasn’t letting me upload. So here’s some stuff from Friday and hopefully I’ll be able to do a quick round up of Saturday’s events tomorrow, before I […]

It’s always about the sex, the drugs, the glamour, the romance. It’s never about getting up at 4:15am to get to the airport to get the plane down to Melbourne. The taxi comes at 4:45am and it’s a quiet ride, everyone in a state of still being half-asleep combined with early morning grumpiness. But gradually […]

Got confirmed yesterday to go and take photos at All Tomorrow’s Parties at Mount Buller, down in Victoria. It’s going to be awesome. Also going as a punter to the show at the Brisbane Riverstage, to get an extra fix of Spiritualized whilst they’re in the country. And look to replace my two well-worn glow-in-the-dark Spiritualized t-shirts… […]
