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
Friday morning finds me doing the weekly shopping and at one stage parked to a very expensive-looking red sports car, its body work adorned with a strange mix of Wiccan imagery but also actual Bible quotes. 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

Lorde @ The Riverstage, Brisbane, 08.03.2023

Pavement + Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever @ Fortitude Music Hall, Brisbane, 28.02.2023
By Tom McCall Pavement are finally back to tour Australia for the first time since their brief previous reunion in 2010 and 30 years on since their first appearance in Brisbane. There was cautious optimism from myself and likely many other Pavement fans when the gigs were announced, with the caution resulting from the classic […]
