Daydream @ Brisbane Riverstage, 30.04.2023

Billed as “Australia’s newest indie rock tour”, this is the first ever edition of Daydream festival with Brisbane being the last stop after the Sydney and Melbourne shows being held across the previous week. I was grabbed immediately by the lineup with Slowdive and Modest Mouse being phenomenal gets for such a new festival and […]

The World Is A Vampire Festival @ Eatons Hill Hotel, 15.04.2023

Not all festivals are equal, not all festivals are the same and what you want from a festival doesn’t stay the same forever. Once upon a time the allure of a multi-day, multi-stage that involved multiple nights sleeping under canvas was everything. Those days are long gone. All Tomorrow’s Parties might be a long-lost memory […]

Song of the Day #782: Water From Your Eyes

Photo: Eleanor Petry Well, this is just great. On first listen it reminds me a bit of Nine Inch Nails but without the all the machoism and put through a more of a cool indie filter rather than an angry man industrial noise one. The band themselves name drop the futurist-pop moves of Japanese composer […]
Kurt Vile & The Violators + Mess Esque @ Princess Theatre, Brisbane, 03.04.2023

By Tom McCall It’s a sold out Monday night show at the Princess Theatre and it’s somehow the first time I’ve been there since it’s reopening as a live music/performing arts venue in 2021. It’s a nice spot with it’s 19th century architecture still going strong and a full outside bar to kill time at […]

Ash @ The Zoo, Brisbane, 21.03.2023
