LIVE REVIEW: THE SLINGERS + SUN FRUITS + JUICE WEBSTER @ THE BRUNSWICK BALLROOM 15/10/22
Last Saturday night, the heavens scheduled a quick reprieve from pouring down on Melbourne and I found myself hungry, heartbroken and with $38 to my name, watching the Slingers perform at the Brunswick Ball Room. With each soaring guitar slide and lyric delivered with utmost gusto, I gently swayed and locked arms with my pal, feeling a small part of my soul heal again.
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.
LIVE REVIEW: DAPHNE @ THE RETREAT (SUPPORTING HOT GLUE + GANGZ) 11/5/22
The band has only ever played one other show a few months ago at The Workers Club, but smash cut to Wednesday night, where we die-hard fans stood in the Retreat’s band room, donning thick woolen scarves and clasping pints.
LIVE REVIEW: THE JUNGLE GIANTS, BAG RAIDERS, LAZY WAX @ SYDNEY MYER MUSIC BOWL 29/1/2022
It doesn't really matter who you are, if you're starting the show meekly with your hands in pockets you will definitely be finishing the show covered in sweat and dancing in ways that would have made the old you proud.
