LIVE REVIEW: LANEWAY 2024

Just before midday on my favourite day of the year (Laneway day), I find myself in an Uber to Flemington Racecourse. It’s my first Laneway in Melbourne, though I haven’t missed the festival since 2018. Depending on who you ask, I was too early for anyone worth seeing, such as headliners Dominic Fike or Stormzy. But, as I prepared for my fifth Laneway, I knew I was in for a marathon day of the best up-and-coming local acts sharing the stage with some of the world’s finest talent.

LIVE REVIEW: THE SLINGERS + SUN FRUITS + JUICE WEBSTER @ THE BRUNSWICK BALLROOM 15/10/22

LIVE REVIEW: TEEN JESUS AND THE JEAN TEASERS + BEC STEVENS + ROYEL OTIS @ CORNER HOTEL

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.

LIVE REVIEW: HOLY HOLY @ THE FORUM 28/5/22

Underneath a starry sky, surrounded by beautiful statues and architecture, I found myself in the front of the stage behind the barricade- a position I’m not too familiar with. Naturally, you could find me in the photographer’s pit, but this time I’m in amongst the crowd, eagerly awaiting the events of tonight’s show - Holy Holy.
