Sonic Masala Festival @ Greenslopes Bowls Club, 21.06.2014
Even though it’s less than six months outside the Australian summer music festival season, today shows just how out of practice I am, at least from a physical sense of coping with an all day event, as those comfy couches dotted around Greenslopes Bowls Club provide a safe haven for most of the day when […]
Palms + Babaganouj + Tiny Migrants @ Black Bear Lodge, 04.10.2013
I always had a soft spot for Red Riders. They were one of the bands that I kept seeing when I moved to Sydney in 2004 and I always felt they were a cut about a lot of the other Sydney bands around at the time. They just had the better songs. Having moved to […]
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 […]
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 […]
Black Lips + Tiny Migrants @ The Zoo, 02.03.2012
It’s the day after the night before. With no 11:25pm Beenleigh train, I have to hang around to 11:55pm to get home and the train is delayed due to a “police incident at Alderley”, making it another 20 minutes late. By the time I get home it’s just before 1am and there’s a big day at work with […]
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 […]
Ty Segall + Tiny Migrants @ Woodland, 07.07.2011
Another Thursday night gig, another Thursday night at Woodland and another gig where I only know the headline act by reputation and recommendation rather than a real familiarity with the songs. The times have been put up on Facebook but based on previous form I’m not too worried to be running more than twenty minutes […]
