As I walked in the doors of Festival Hall on this fine Monday night– I immediately knew I found my people. I looked amongst the crowd – and there was a sea of beautiful women with Steve Nicks-esque ‘pirate’ outfits- it was like stepping into a hippie festival in the 70s. I thought, I am definitely at a Last Dinner Party concert – reserved for the hottest and coolest people only.

It was the first Friday night of September and footy finals fever was in the air, yet my mind remained on other things. I was seeing a band who would prove to be worthy adolescent reincarnations of the messiah, who were also partial to some flirting in denim. Enter, Teen Jesus and The Jean Teasers.

Love Australian hip hop? Love Australian alt-rock? Well, you’re in luck! Queensland hip-hop alt-rockers (yep, you heard me) Butterfingers have released their third album, Bad News.

Melbourne rock outfit Kingswood are back and better than ever, ready to save rock and roll with their powerhouse new album, Juveniles. Featuring singles, Say You Remember, You Make It So Easy and Bittersweet, Juveniles has brought everything and more that fans have grown to know and love from Kingswood.

FOR FANS OF: The War On Drugs, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, Sweater Curse, TOWNS, The Jensens, Good Boy. Acts like this always seem to draw me in with their layers of seductive guitar riffs and Future Haunts are no different. As soon as they popped up in my Spotify Radar, I was immediately obsessed, and their live performance is just as lush.
