Brisbane was one of the first cities to get a taste of this year’s Laneway festival. With a lineup consisting of artists from Australia and around the world, and covering genres from indie to punk to electronica to rap, Laneway offered a wide range of options of music fans. Arriving at Brisbane Showgrounds on a […]
When life gives you lemons I challenge you to turn it all into a sweeter pop song than Lily Allen. According to Lily, her 2018 offering No Shame, “is about being really depressed and the dissolution of my marriage”. Yet, watching her belt out banger after banger from the album on stage like it’s NBD, […]
Twenty One Pilots aren’t just incredible songwriters, they’re also master showmen. It’s nothing short of gobsmacking that a band comprised of just two people can put on an arena-sized live show that’s as top-to-toe visually captivating and full of surprises as the most blockbuster Broadway production, but that’s exactly what Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun […]
Few could have predicted when Bhad Bhabie arrived on the rap scene with ‘These Heaux’ that she would be playing to devoted fans in Perth, Australia just over a year after but her career has been anything but predictable.

While I would usually consider myself an indifferent observer of Swiftie, I was open to be convinced otherwise on the Sydney stop of her Reputation tour last night. The show kicked off with New Zealand […]

Sydney string-tingler Plini put on an absolute clinic at Sydney’s Manning Bar last Saturday night as part of his Sunhead Australian Tour. With the fretboard prowess of John Petrucci, Eddie Van Halen and Steve Vai and the sardonic wit of Steven Wright and Demetri Martin, Australia’s virtuosic axeman delivers a live experience that is truly […]
