Song of the Day #785: Charli XCX & Lorde
I don’t remember the first time I saw Charli XCX, back at Parklife in 2012. She was playing a very early afternoon slot, possibly the first or second act of the day, on the second (or was it third) stage. I have the photos to prove I was there but that’s the only memory. I’ll […]

Watch: Charli XCX – The F Word and Me
Collapse Board favourite, Charli XCX has made a documentary for BBC3 about feminism. Even though it only really scrapes the surface and is more of a tour diary with some interviews included as opposed to solely being an in-depth assessment/analysis of being a woman in the music industry in 2015, you should watch it. Just […]
A review of Charli XCX live in Brisbane written perhaps not the way you’d expect
By Everett True/Kat Elizabeth Donald I took one of my students from Sex Drugs Rock’N’Roll down to see Charlie XCX and Tkay Maidza at The Met last week, on the stipulation she write something about it for Collapse Board. So she did. I really liked Tkay because she was just so young and had so […]

Charli XCX – Sucker (Atlantic)
I’ll admit right here that I’m not the most qualified person to write this review. But then, you don’t read Collapse Board for qualified persons anyway, do you? I’ll also admit that, the third time I chugged down Sucker (for that is indeed how you consume Charli XCX – bottle held high over yr lips […]
The return of Everett True | 116. Charli XCX
Pouting white bread pop star Charli XCX has made less than an impression on me so far, but if you think I can resist this – a Josie And The Pussycats-style punk cover of one of 2014’s finest pop songs – then you are crazy. There’s such energy, such an infectious delight. The handclaps! The spontaniety! The […]
The Friday Afternoon Playlist, 21.03.2014
Go Violets (RIP) Despite living in the same city and them having been together for three years, I’ve never seen Go Violets live. With the announcement of the band splitting it now looks like I’m not going to get the chance, at least not until the tearful reunion in a few years’ time. Remember them […]
The Friday Afternoon Playlist, 24.01.2014
Bo Ningen – Henkan Last weekend I went down to the Gold Coast for this year’s Big Day Out festival and saw some of the worst bands in the history of music. However, thanks to a recommendation from Collapse Board contributor Brendan Eales, I also caught Japan-via-London psych-rock four piece Bo Ningen, who, despite playing […]
