We’re currently rebuilding the journals. Some galleries and reviews are still being migrated.
Molchat Doma @ MAC2
Their intertwined dark beats and grooves, accompanied by a spine-tingling aura, held me captivated
Deafheaven @ The Odeon Theatre
An exclamation point on what has been an epic Australian tour
Hymns to the Dead @ Odeon Theatre
Whether they've heard of the bands or not, there's an undeniable sense that Hymns to the Dead always delivers.
Ethel Cain @ Odeon Theatre
Southern Gothic meets Tasmainian Gothic
HEALTH @ Crowbar
HEALTH aren’t a band that do encores but by the end I well and truly felt like I’d had my fix.
Babymetal @ The Hordern Pavilion
The spirt of heavy metal traversed across the world
Deafheaven @ The Metro Theatre
San Francisco five-piece Deafheaven is in Australia to celebrate 10 years of Sunbather.
Slowly Slowly @ The Tivoli
Slowly Slowly are anything but slow as they let their explosive energy take over The Tivoli.
Make Them Suffer @ The Metro
Make no mistake this was a devastating performance.
Mountain Wizard Death Cult @ House of Music & Booze
It was clear during this Initiation that Mountain Wizard’s cult following is not only alive, it’s well and truly thriving.
KissChasy @ The Corner Hotel
While it’s unknown if we will ever get the joy of Do-Do-ing & Whoa-Oh-ing with Kisschasy again, this night will be stuck in my head.
He Is Legend @ Crowbar
The energy coursing through Crowbar was absolutely electric, fuelled by a potent combination of love, camaraderie, and ice-cold beer.
Emperor @ The Metro Theatre
In The Nightside Eclipse was released when Emperor were just kids, 30 years on it remains one of the best black metal albums of all time.
Static x @ The Northcote Theatre
20 Years of Evil Disco: Static-X's Dystopian Musical Odyssey
Mudhoney @ The Corner Hotel
Basking in the aura of grunge royalty, it’s quite clear Mudhoney have not lost their potency.
The Smashing Pumpkins @ Kryal Castle
Between the grandeur of the replica castle, bizarre blow-up chicken, a lineup of talented artists and wrestling ring, The World is a Vampire was a triumphant fusion of alt-rock and modern-day mayhem.
Sleep Token @ The Tivoli
Whether it be the power of music at play, or something larger that we can only feel and not see, I walked into the Brisbane Sleep Token show as one person and left a different one.
The Stranglers @ Northcote Theatre
My personal favourite Stranglers song is Hanging Around and I was stoked to finally hear it in person. I am not one to sing or dance at a show; you’ll usually catch me at the back, arms folded, with a slight head bop. But I had to belt this one out with the crowd.
Knotfest Brisbane
Setting the standard for how festivals should be done.
The Smashing Pumpkins @ Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion
Billy Corgan has successfully connected passion and purpose with his traveling circus The World Is A Vampire tour.
