Midnight Juggernauts – The Corner 24/4
Midnight Juggernauts are a band that taught me how to appreciate electronic/dance music many moons ago. Alongside The Presets and Cut Copy, it was a great time to be attending underage house parties and a great time for Australian dance music. 45 and Rising has been a car mixtape favourite ever since. But Wednesday night...
Golden Plains Music Festival 2013
Thomas: After being some what well acquainted with the older sister, Meredith, Golden Plains certainly has some subtle differences. On entry, it was pretty clear that even though things looked pretty similar, there’s some certain points of differecne between the two festivals that are held every year at the natural amphitheater, close to the tiny...
Meredith Music Festival 2012
Photo by James Jardine. Arriving at the amphitheatre for the first time on that warm Friday morning my convoy and I could barely contain the anticipation that had building for weeks. But we had finally made it to the Meredith Music Festival for 2012. As we all scurried about setting up our tents, we made...
Inca Roads Music Festival 2012
Last weekend I had the pleasure of traveling to Mount Egerton to take part in one of our newest, and fast-becoming, most-beloved music festivals, Inca Roads. A tight-knit crew of music lovers and bands/artists made up most of the crowd of at a guess 250 people for the weekend. While the weather was trying at...
Live Review: Seekae, at The Corner Hotel, 29/8/2012
Having last seen Seekae perform a year ago at the inaugural Harvest Festival, I was keen to re-witness their stunning live set in a more intimate space. The wait has been long but well worth it; since discovering more of their recent offerings, including the gorgeous video for new song ‘Yech’ performed at sunrise inside...
The Cairos @ NSC
Photo: charlesmorley, gallery here. Having all ready seen these guys strut their stuff as support for Deep Sea Arcade earlier in the year, I was pretty keen to see what a headline show would mean for The Cairos. After the joys of living in Preston prevented my timely arrival, I entered NSC just in time...
Tehachapi – ‘Land of Four Seasons’
Words by Sigrid McCarthy This four-piece band from Melbourne, which released its melodic EP Land of Four Seasons independently in February 2012, delivers a truly mesmerising show, with all members making solid contributions to the overall hypnotic sound. Playing tonight at the Regal Ballroom, Northcote, they were embraced by the small intimate crowd and successfully...
Oliver Tank at NSC
Photo: kmih @ FasterLouder. Gallery here. Entering the Northcote Social Club was warming in more ways than one on this icy Wednesday evening. Relief from the cold as well as the immediate cosiness one feels when seeing a large group of people huddled cross-legged on the floor like primary school kids never fails to warm...
Max Crumbs/Wooshie/Andras Fox/Galapagoose at Phoneix Public House 5.05.12
Melbourne-based label and sound collective //THIS THING// has developed a quick word-of-mouth cult following since its recent inception. Comprising of several local DJs/electronic acts, the group have put on stellar live sets across Melbourne (including a seminal collaborative show at Golden Plains) in the past year. The Phoenix Public House opened its doors to celebrate...
POND at NSC 23.04.12
Yet another late review by me, unfortunately hindered this time by a pesky essay on the European Union… not something I want to discuss, ever again. POND at Northcote Social Club however is definitely something worth writing about. After enjoying a delicious parma we rolled around to the super crowded band room that was buzzing with excitement...
Saskwatch. Oh. So. Tight. @ Cherry Bar (19/04)
Finally made it down to the Cherry basement last Thursday to catch Melbourne soul outfit Saskwatch. The third of their four residencies, the dance floor was packed, as was just about every other available space. Starting off with a band-only jam before introducing Nkechi, Saskwatch immediately got the crowd moving as one. While the band...
Final Goodbyes at the East.
Photo by Leah Robertson So here is an extremely late review of the final night of music at the East Brunswick Club. I would be lying if I said that my memory of the night’s events is crystal clear, but I’ve done my best to cut through the cider-induced fog to try and give you...
