The Aints Play The Saints ’73-’78 @ The Tivoli, Brisbane Festival, 27.09.2017
Ed Kuepper is no yesterday man. He was quick to distance himself from pre-emptive punk outfit The Saints following the group’s dissipation in 1978. Yet as the years have been marched by, this oft-bleak voice of Australian music has never hidden his affection for the iconic group’s formative iteration. With 40–years passing since The Saints […]

Claudio Simonetti’s Goblin play Suspiria @ The Tivoli, 22.09.2017
Eyerolling and inevitable they may be, but comparisons to horror movie soundtracks come as a staple when we’re talking about music.

Robert Forster: 15 Songs About Brisbane
On Saturday, 18 September 2010, Robert Forster performed 15 Songs About Brisbane at the Brisbane Powerhouse. This is what he said between songs. Lee Remick: “Thank you for coming out tonight. We’ve got a big program tonight. We have to be finished by 11 o’clock. Noise complaints. People live near the Powerhouse, in an arts […]
You should know this about me. I like Robert Forster. I really don’t like Phil Collins.
So imagine my outrage on Saturday night. There were only a couple of minutes to go before Robert’s ’15 Songs About Brisbane’ set at the Powerhouse’s outdoor amphitheatre.
