Antony and the Johnsons + William Basinski and Johanna Constantine: 2 January 2010 - Sydney

The roaring standing ovation at the conclusion of the show was well and truly earned; personally I hadn’t felt so much at a show in a long time.

The Dirty Three: 26 January 2010 - Sydney

The Dirty Three manage to create a distinctly Australian musical narrative, all without so much as a word being sung.

Splendour in the Grass Festival: 25-26 July 2009 - Byron Bay, Austrailia

While part of the allure is undeniably the location, Byron Bay being one of the most beautiful & culturally intriguing places in Australia, Splendour also presents a thoughtful and satisfying blend of acts, from the hysterically trendy to the endearingly retro.

La Dispute + To the North: 11 July 2009 - Sydney

It seems to me that the harder the style of music the more warm and welcoming the attitude of the band.


Tuesday, August 4 2009

Ghostface Killah + DOME: 24 June 2009 - Sydney

It was clear that the Wu-Tang connection was what had lured most of the audience to this show.
