The Winners and Losers from St Jerome's Laneway Festival Fremantle 2015
Because people really don't read reviews properly anymore and like to just skim things, I've decided to format my 2015 Laneway review as a list of winners and losers. As usual, this is subjective, but here are my winners and losers from this years Fremantle leg of the Laneway Festival.
Record Store Day 2014: Perth Edition
Record Store Day has come again, and with it, a slew of choice pickings from artists as diverse as Nirvana and Slipknot available at various stores about Perth. With plenty of well-established stores around Perth, (and some established chains trying to sell records…JB…) where will be the best places to find the gem, hang, chill and soak in vibes?
We Speak To Scott Ludlam About WA2.0, Renewable Energy and Legalisation
I come from a graphic design background, so I’m really interested in how we use design and artistic expression to further our work. One of my favorite quotes is that “the purpose of the designer is to increase the legibility of the world”, and that’s something I keep in the back of my mind with the WA2.0 project.
St. Jerome's Laneway Festival - Fremantle 8/2/14
This year’s St. Jerome’s laneway Festival on its new turf in Fremantle proved to be wildly successful, spectacular in its vibes, layout and packed out audience including many younger ones who don’t abide by the man and jumped fences to get in. If this is the future of festivals, I’m happy.
The John Butler Trio - Flesh and Blood
The album as a whole is no doubt a good listen, ranging from the trademark folky fingerpicking of album opener ‘Spring to Come’, through to gritty funk of ‘Livin’ in the City’ where John opens up on the ol’ electric guitar into a Hendrix-esque crescendo; And this occurs over the first two songs.

Half Moon Run w/Tiger Towns - Fly By Night, Fremantle
Regardless of drunk tourists talking in front of me the whole show, I had an inexplicably amazing experience watching a band I can only describe as effortlessly enchanting, with a dirty grunge appeal. A band I will see again and a band I will recommend to all my friends and anyone reading this. Kudos to Half Moon Run.
POND with Doctopus @ Metropolis Fremantle
POND, as a live animal, give a lot to the audience. When frontman Nick Allbrook isn’t wide-armed screaming to the crowd he is throwing himself around, writhing on the floor in the sweat dripping from his oh-so-Fremantle flanno.
Jonny Taylor - 'Something To Say'
I think it’s great how it’s filled with topics that can sometimes be hard to talk about, things that affect normal people. It’s not superficial or fake; it’s just songs written by a normal guy, for normal people. (It is) Really refreshing in this day and age...
Dilip n' the Davs - 'Together'
I love Aussie bands and I get especially excited when the bands have lyrics that show their love for Australia, and the Davs must have known I was coming, because they are absolutely all over it which made me very happy.
RSD 2013: Perth Edition
It's that time of year, where music enthusiasts and collectors alike fight each other to the death for 'that' release. And with an amazing list of special releases lined up for us this year, the question is; Where do we go?
