Walking into 170 Russell on a chilly August night, I knew I was going to be a part of a stand-out show. The crowd was already buzzing with anticipation, decked out in band tees and a lot of black, ready for a night of hardcore that would leave our ears ringing for days.

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.

‘Do you listen to Girl in Red?’

The secret code for queers alike. And the answer is yes, and you should too.  

Girl in Reds’ presence in this Melbourne winter is exactly what we needed- her new album ‘I’m Doing It Again Baby!’ was an absolute must to see live at Margaret Court Arena last Wednesday.  

When I saw that Pisco Sour and The Noise were doing a gig together at Northcote Social Club on Kings B-day Eve- I couldn’t hide my excitement. I quickly texted my best friend and music photographer Chloe - ‘OH MY GOD IT’S PISCO AND THE NOISE- this is the dream team! We have to go!’

Girli bursts into the music scene with her vibrant pink hair and fierce attitude to grace everyone’s ears with the most exciting and heart-wrenching album ever. Here are 4 songs from the album that struck a chord to me the most.
