The Killers are one of the greatest bands in the world, and there’s no denying that. Over their 20+ years they have crafted an iconic discography and live performance that is theatrical and has this deeply rooted impressive musicianship. Returning to Australia for another massive run of arena shows, the Las Vegas four piece have…

LIVE REVIEW: The Dare – Metro Theatre
“Elusive. Viral. And every ounce of cool.” That is the best way to describe The Dare. His rise to fame in 2024 has been so interesting to watch with this cult-like audience emerging around the release of his debut album “What’s Wrong With New York?”, and in-turn he has been coined to be bringing back…
LIVE REVIEW: Tiny Habits – Factory Theatre
Sunday evening gigs are always a test for my soul, because they sound like a great idea until you actually get to the day and you remember instead you could be in bed watching tv before the start of a new week. And sometimes that is true, but other times it’s worth it as you…
LIVE REVIEW: Twenty One Pilots – Qudos Bank Arena
10 Years ago I stood in the crowd watching Twenty One Pilots open for Paramore and You Me At Six at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre. At the time “Vessel” had just come out, and they were relatively unknown to Australian audiences, but immediately during their opening song “Ode To Sleep” I turned to my friend…
INTERVIEW: LANY
On this episode of BLEACHED: The Podcast I’m sitting backstage with Paul and Jake from LANY at their sold out Sydney show at Hordern Pavilion to deconstruct their “A Beautiful Blur World Tour”. From the setlist, to the visuals, to the soundscape, we discuss how they built the live show and kept adding to it…
INTERVIEW: Andie Case
On this episode of BLEACHED: The Podcast I have a vulnerable and retrospective chat with Andie Case as we look back at her career from her viral youtube cover videos that are sewn into 2010’s internet culture, and have a very honest discussion about her battle with drug addiction that has brought her into a…
INTERVIEW: Sycco
Sycco is an artist I have championed on Bleached for a few years now since witnessing her debut at BIGSOUND in 2019. Fast forward five years and her debut album is finally out in the world (and she just won triple j’s Album of The Year with it), so I had a chat with her…
INTERVIEW: Petit Biscuit
On this week’s episode of BLEACHED: The Podcast, I’m chatting with French producer Petit Biscuit about his brand new album “Discipline”, working with Australian favourites Cub Sport on the record, and outside of music we discuss the balance needed in his vegan muscle journey.

LIVE REVIEW: Tate McRae – Hordern Pavilion
Tate McRae is truly THAT pop star. There’s no one doing it like her right now, and it’s clear that the Canadian chart topper is dancing in her own lane. Currently Down Under for a sold out Australian tour, she took over Hordern Pavilion in Sydney for two nights of pure pop magic as a…
LIVE REVIEW: LANY – Hordern Pavilion
Ever since I first witnessed LANY in 2017 at Splendour In The Grass, it was always notable that their live show was something special. Continually evolving and growing over the years along with their fanbase, the Californian duo have cultivated a show that feels arena-ready but also intimate. They find a unique way to blend…
