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 […]


Splendour In The Grass 2011 @ Woodfordia, 29.07.2011 – 31.07.2011 – Part 1
