Featuring love songs interspersed with tongue-in-cheek lyrics that border laughable and creepy like “I’m gonna bed into you like a cat beds into a beanbag” or “Turn you inside out and lick you like a crisp packet” from “Every Other Freckle”, their shows are set to be fun ones.
"Wild Tales" is a horrifically hysterical, playfully violent, and rousingly poignant thrill ride of revenge that is best experienced with minimal knowledge of what’s about to come.
We caught some of the finest sonic youths down in Bunbury over the long weekend. Read all about the groovy times here.
"High Sparrow": The Stark children are forced to make difficult choices and Cersei finds a new ally in an excellent episode filled with intimate, poignant character moments.
GTM is returning for 2015. Check out whats planned!
The Script are coming to town- Check out our latest album review and preview to the show.
Based on a true story, X + Y is a touching, beautiful and absolutely endearing experience. The acting is impeccable, bringing the character’s to life and allowing the audience to really relate to their hardships.
While Kumiko, The Treasure Hunter is commendable in its ambition; the film's execution of its central character's sombre tale is ultimately frustrating and alienating to its audience.
Fairbridge Festival really is a unique event. So, we teamed up with Fairbridge's social media runner to get y'all prepped!
Even I could not fathom how engrossed and underprepared I was before watching CitizenFour and how well Laura Poitras captures Snowden, in what felt like a very intimate and close to home encounter.
Slowly but surely the crowd picked up the pace, swaying and loosening up to the brash tones of the Love Junkies newer tunes’, giving the band its cue to dive into songs from their new LP with unhinged ferocity.
You'd think a band like Client Liaison, renowned for their ostentatious, seemingly unchoreocraphed music videos, would have attracted a cult following of unpolished dancers more intent on having fun that looking cool while trying to have fun. Dance on, Client Liaison. Dance harder, Perth.
Oxley may have been a schizophrenic, and that may not be relatable to everyone, but in the crowd at the Festival Gardens the permanence with which 'Alone With You' has stayed in the lives of his fans came into full view. The excitement was so great that the Sunnyboys come out again and close the whole thing with 'The Seeker', a set of old boys reliving their glory days and revelling in their legacy. We caught 'Sunnyboys' - one of the closing acts of this years amazing Perth Festival.
In a way, it can be argued that Girlhood is the spiritual successor to recent Oscar Best Picture loser Boyhood (come to think of it, both films would make the perfect double-feature for a movie night).
It is not often that you get to experience spoken word, song, contemporary and interpretive dance, visuals and theatre in the same production, but Cut the Sky delivered the goods.
There's much to be said for a musician who, about twenty years on from her most sustained period in the mainstream, is making music that transcends her past and avoids its tropes. We caught Neneh Cherry do her thang at Festival Gardens as part of PIAF 2015.
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.
There is something truly special about seeing the first gig of a national tour. Particularly when the band is as unique as desert blues band Bombino. We caught them at the gorgeous Chevron Festival Gardens this week as part of the Perth International Arts Festival.
On a surprisingly cool summers night, I was excited to be spending my 14th of Feb with a group of mates at the park for a picnic. With Valentine's Day already shaping up to be a memorable one, we headed to the Rosie to see some familiar faces launch their very first studio recorded album "Hello Reality."
It's always 1996 somewhere. By this stage, Stephen Malkmus - both solo and with the Jicks, as he is presently - is very much a known quantity. Every couple of years now he pushes out a new record of proggy, insouciant guitar songs that in trade insight and inanities ("what the senator wants! is a blowjob!") with equally shaggy fervour.
