LIVE REVIEW: The Paper Kites – The Tivoli

You know that moment when you just hear good music? Well Sydney four piece I Know Leopard delivered that during their opening set with a wave of dreamy indie-pop. Playing songs from their debut EP “Another Life” and some unreleased gems that need to grace your airwaves soon, it’s no denying that this band have…

LIVE REVIEW: At Sunset – Old Museum

Bands touring on singles only is always going to attract a restricted market. With no album, 2 singles and a bunch of covers it’s hard to establish a fan base and while At Sunset have a massive social media following, walking into a 1/4 full venue it’s clear that they didn’t translate into ticket purchases….

LIVE REVIEW: Madonna – Brisbane Entertainment Centre

Madonna has always been controversial. She’s the true Queen of pop and there’s no denying that fact. She has sustained a long and successful career heavily influencing some of the industry’s biggest names. She hasn’t been to Australia for over 20 years so it’s safe to say it was quite an overwhelming experience being in…

LIVE REVIEW: Chase Atlantic – Old Museum

You may not be familiar with the name Chase Atlantic but trust me it is one you want to get aquatinted with. This alternative three piece continues to impress with their experimental rock tracks that see them regularly getting compared to The 1975 with similar synth and saxophone production. With their forthcoming EP “Paradise” they…

LIVE REVIEW: Jhene Aiko – The Tivoli

Strolling into The Tivoli on a low key Thursday night, it quickly became apparent that this was going to be a rather intimate affair. Jhene Aiko is one of the most talked about rising stars with three Grammy nominations and a very supportive fanbase that has been constantly growing since her early mixtape days. Even…

LIVE REVIEW: Short Stack – The Tivoli

Saturday night was a busy night for Brisbane’s entertainment scene with Laneway Festival and Kevin Hart both having sell out events so I guess it was no surprise that Short Stack failed to sell out The Tivoli for that particular weekend. This was my third time seeing them play at The Tivoli and previously it’s…

LIVE REVIEW: Adam Lambert – Enmore Theatre

Looking around at the sold out crowd filing up the Enmore Theatre I couldn’t help but be impressed with the wide age range and walks of life that were entering the venue. That shouldn’t be a surprise though because Adam Lambert has it all; the voice, the stage presence, the moves and the looks. He…

LIVE REVIEW: Tonight Alive – The Metro

Australian pop/rock band Tonight Alive have received a lot of comparisons over the years to Paramore but they’ve finally shaken them off and are now just being referenced as Tonight Alive. Bursting onto the stage with “To Be Free” they welcomed the hometown crowd to an intimate evening celebrating the bands previous releases and previewed…

LIVE REVIEW: R5, Jack & Jack – Eatons Hill

This concert event was an interesting one. I know, what an opening line but I don’t know how else to honestly start this review because they were my exact thoughts when I left the gig. Billed as a school holiday event the crowd was majority under 16 year olds and I automatically felt old and…

LIVE REVIEW: The 1975 – The Tivoli

Alternative rock favourites The 1975 have given their sound and image a bit of an update with their forthcoming second studio album “I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It” due for release later in the month. They kicked off their pre-album release Australian tour in Brisbane…
