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
For all the times I saw Ash in the late 1990s and early 2000s, I never actually saw them at one of their own shows. I might own some of their albums but I only ever saw them playing at festivals. But what a great little festival band they were. Forty five minutes, an hour, […]

Florence + The Machine + King Princess @ Brisbane Entertainment Centre, 17.03.2023

Later on that evening, I can’t help but wonder whether the driver is here watching Florence + The Machine. […]

Carly Rae Jepsen @ The Tivoli, 09.03.2023
Long before the weekly music press – NME, Melody Maker, Sounds, before I had money to buy albums and before I was old enough for live shows, there was Saturday morning TV, Top of The Pops on a Thursday night and Smash Hits. A constant stream of pop music. I’ve used that old adage about […]
Lorde @ The Riverstage, Brisbane, 08.03.2023
You have expectations when you go to a live show. I guess you call them expectations. If you go and see a band playing a small venue, the band are going to be lined up along the front of the stage, the drummer is going to be at the back, possibly on a small riser. […]
