Live Review: Mildlife, Demon Days
"It was a thrill to witness them up close in the smaller surrounds of Mojo's."
Live Review: Methyl Ethel, Ada Lea
"A performance that was of a particularly high order.
Live Review: Kurt Vile & The Violators, RVG
"Vile has no equal when it comes to rolling, enveloping songwriting."
Live Review: Rhye, Lucy Peach
"There’s a skill in maintaining just the right restraint with these compositions."
Live Review: Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, Body Type
"As usual, the shared vocal duties offered engaging points of interest, but the real draw lay in their ability to knock out a litany of tracks that are brilliantly melodic."
Live Review: NO ZU, Grievous Bodily Calm
"It is jubilant and utterly compelling, and it's reasonable to say there are few other bands in the country who are quite so mesmerising."
Live Review: Hidden Treasures
"Falling between bouts of near-biblical weather, it allowed revellers one final opportunity to soak up the unique street theatre and general merriment that the event generates."
Live Review: Mildlife, Burundi Peace Choir
"A group of prodigiously talented players who know each other's moves intimately."
Live Review: Lee Fields & The Expressions, Tank & The Bangas
"Much of the appeal in watching a performer like Fields is basking in the fact that he is now, after so many years of hard graft, getting his due."
Live Review: Laneway Festival Fremantle
"Closers Pond and The War On Drugs may lack the explosiveness of headliners from years gone by but they both proved themselves more than capable of delivering where it counts."
