Live Review: Kitty Daisy & Lewis, Big Smoke
"Kitty, Daisy & Lewis' backbone is absolute musical competence."
Live Review: Black Cab, Lost Animal, The Infants
"It's as sweet as it is utterly intoxicating and it carries an inexplicable neon tinge."
Live Review: The Scientists
"[The Scientists] emerge in a similar manner to a pretty-yet-slightly discoloured wildflower."
Live Review: Spray Paint, Ausmuteants
"Chanted vocals ride over the ominous, guttural riffs churned out by both guitarists while the drum kit is being more or less punished."
Live Review: TV, Loose Tooth, Jules Sheldon
"The instruments meld together and engulf the audience, who are still for the most part eating chips and drinking beers."
Live Review: Rolling Blackouts, The Steve Miller Band
"Twangy, lazed and for the most part jangly pop songs ooze throughout the room to the audience’s eased contentment."
Live Review: Mangelwurzel, Milk Teddy, Footy
"The band possess a whelming charisma, between the manic dancing of the horn players and the ease at which the rhythm section grasp punk’s weird and more technical cousin."
Live Review: Pearls, Sundays & Cybele, Scattered Purgatory, Power
"Hooks as sleek as their creators push the songs, which prove catchy whether or not you’re partial to their ‘80s-inspired arrangements."
Live Review: Ngaiire
"She weaves seamlessly from one octave to the next; hopping between high and low; joyous and teasing but then, at some points, she’s also painfully wistful."
