Perth Festival Review: Shigeto and Too Many Zooz at the Chevron Gardens
Playing at the Chevron Gardens as part of the Perth Festival, Shigeto and Too Many Zooz treated punters with a diverse mix of instrumental hip hop and brass backed dance tunes in a combination that promised to deliver something unique, if a little odd.
PIAF REVIEW: KITTY, DAISY & LEWIS AT CHEVRON FESTIVAL GARDENS
Britain’s rocking roots trio Kitty, Daisy & Lewis brought their infectious energy and nostalgia-soaked fusion of rockabilly, vintage country and first-generation rhythm and blues to the Perth Festival last weekend. Read our review here.
PIAF: Toro y Moi closes out Chevron Festival Gardens in style
Toro channelled Peter Gabriel and Jamiroquai in equal parts. His progression from neo-soul to electronic to jangly indie-pop was executed with absolute ease and put everyone in a good mood to close out the Chevron Festival Gardens series at PIAF.
PIAF: Mosquito Coast, Frankie Cosmos and Margaret Glaspy
If all these musicians stick to their word, we’re going to have a very busy year.
PIAF: James Vincent McMorrow Demonstrates the Extent of his Vocal Prowess at the Gardens
James Vincent McMorrow is an artist that simply needs to be witnessed live to fully appreciate his art.
Warpaint bring the sunday night girl power at Chevron Festival Gardens
Warpaint showcased the full power of their moody & groovy sound at Chevron Festival Gardens.
PIAF: Frankie Cosmos Interview
Despite being part of what has been come to be known as the anti-folk movement, Kline really doesn’t put much currency in genre. “I think that defining anything through a genre is kind of useless. I mean, I don’t really even know what anti-folk means really. I can tell you that it was this music movement in New York, but it doesn’t make much sense to me.”
PIAF: Explosions in the Sky Deliver a Staggering Show at the Festival Gardens
I have seen more artists live than I can count... And of the lot, I think it’s safe to say that Explosions in the Sky just became the best to date.
A very international PIAF 2017: OMAR SOSA QUARTETO AFROCUBANO
PIAF brought the goods this year with OMAR SOSA & his QUARTETO AFROCUBANO. Read our review here.
Live Review: Little Simz @ Chevron Festival Gardens
Little Simz kept the melody sweet, bass low, and lyrics forceful, solidifying her position as a force to be reckoned with, taking the title of King. Not Queen, because "women can be kings".
Sharon Van Etten & Tiny Ruins at Festival Gardens
Out on the open Festival Gardens stage, Sharon van Etten and her flawless band moved between intimate sounds and immense, synth-driven crescendos. Early in the evening the band broke into the fun and airy ‘Taking Chances’, followed by the acknowledgement of van Etten’s birthday, prompting a reflection on her disorganised Pisces nature.
The Budos Band - Chevron Festival Gardens
I'll be the first to admit that I attend far less live music than I should. It's fun, it's social and most of all, it's a memory, an experience far superior to sitting on my couch soaking up some tunes. When I was given the chance to see 'The Budos Band' live it didn't take me long to rearrange the plans I already had that night to slot them in.
PIAF - Wire - Chevron Gardens 24/02/14
If Wire had advertised a Pink Flag tribute/memorial tour they'd be selling this joint out and headlining arts festivals like this. Their live shows are maybe the worse for it, lacking the kind of fan interaction that setting craves
Perth Festival: Julia Holter - Chevron Gardens - 10/02/14
Holter is the howling banshee at the centre of the caterwauling madness that forms the end of 'Betsy on the Roof', but she's also the loose calm in the centre of the storm in her dark rendition of Barbra Lewis' 'Hello Stranger'.
