All in Live Nation
Everybody loves to laugh. Live comedy id one of my absolute favourite things so I decided that I would spend most of my time trying to make myself laugh until my brains fell out. I spent the opening night at Fringe in the DeLuxe tent and it was an interesting and eclectic lineup, and if last night was anything to go by, Fringe this year is going to be a good one!
The blend of songs that the band dished up was perfect. Their longer progressive pieces kept the stoners happy, whilst there was enough heavy numbers to get the moshpit well and truly pumping.
From start to finish I had a smile on my face, clever historical jokes from the era opened the performance and an upbeat and catchy duet sung by the couple showed the audience what they were in for.
On the last date of their Polymorphism Tour, Karnivool produced a perfect performance, shadowing both of the openers' sets, leaving a collective grin across the face of the crowd.
This year’s Fringe Festival is the most ambitious to date; With over 200 acts performing over the 4 weeks beginning with tonight’s VIP launch, as well as expanding into the Swan region with Midlandia (so much class with the extra ‘i’) nobody could argue with that.
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.
I'll be playing a bunch of new tracks plus some old favourites. The live show has come a long way since I last played in Perth and I'm just excited to get in front of everyone again. Plus the Bakery is a really cool venue and it'd be good to chill there again and have some drinks
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.
They are playing this Thursday at Fly by Night in Freo; undoubtedly a band you will be able to tell your kids you saw “before they were cool”.
Perth’s finest prog-rock technicians will be playing at one of the most amazing if not surreal locations on the 23rd day of this sweltering month.
I’ve often thought that forcing people to travel, organise and commit to see music would mean only the true music lovers (and those rare apt dickheads) would bother to make it out; Southbound Festival 2014 reaffirmed this belief.
It was an intense evening, as I anticipated what would happen at Slanted & Enchanted. As I walked in, the regular local acts had already performed, and on the main stage, the headliners’ roadies were hustling around like little rats.
Keith Buckley, always the energetic frontman, encouraged pit wildness, including a circlepit the size of Amps itself (which one unlucky stage diver jumped into, rather stupidly).
We were lucky enough to check out the sold out Elmar’s In The Valley venue for some food, music and most importantly alcoholic beverages before heading over to Belvoir Amphitheatre for a great mini-festival.
'Turandot' is the beginning of an exciting program in corporation with the Royal Opera House, and Palace Cinemas. I was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to attend the advanced screening of this amazing production, as a part of the 2013-14 Palace Opera/Ballet Season Launch.
The Byron Bay lads dug deep through their crates and played tracks from Don’t Close Your Eyes, Killing With A Smile, Horizons, Deep Blue and Atlas. This show was mental, and for the encore, Carrion was played as the stage filled up with concert goers hanging out with the band.
On an inclement Perth winter Saturday, I joined a group of UWA foreign exchange students on an urban photo tour of Perth city. ShootPerth is fairly new addition to the scene, seeking to assist the everyday enthusiast to take great photos of the place, its oddities, and its people.
I am Divine is loving tribute of a documentary that takes a look at the life and career of Harris Glen Milstead, better known by his stage name, Divine....
Without much messing around she jumped straight into the business of blowing our minds with her stunning playing. Within about 10 seconds every person in the room had a smile on their face. That’s really the only thing you can do when seeing Kaki. She’s that good.
When we were granted VIP Industry tickets to Groovin’ the Moo Festival we were beyond excited. “Our very first thing,” we proclaimed. And so it is with great pleasure and wistful recollection that we bring you our take on Groovin’ the Moo 2013.
