LIVE REVIEW: Short Stack – The Brightside
After a short hiatus and a much needed maturing Short Stack made a comeback last year to a lukewarm response. They still had their hardcore fans by their side but the hysteria that followed them in the 2009-2011 days just wasn’t there anymore. After four intimate sold out shows in June last year the band…
LIVE REVIEW: Kylie Minogue – Brisbane Entertainment Centre
Kylie Minogue is a seasoned entertainer but what her previous tours have lacked is honesty and genuine heart.

LIVE REVIEW: Ed Sheeran – The Riverstage
One man. One Guitar. One Voice. There’s no denying that Ed Sheeran knows how to captivate an audience with only his pure talent.

LIVE REVIEW: Laneway Festival – RNA Showgrounds
With a venue upgrade and the age restriction decreasing to 16+, Laneway 2015 was always going to be a bit different to previous years.

LIVE REVIEW: The Vamps – Brisbane Riverstage
Australia Day shows are always an excuse to relax, get a bit too drunk and a tad sunburnt but sadly this wasn’t the go with The Vamps Brisbane show at The Riverstage. With a no alcohol ban, a strong under 16 crowd and hovering rain clouds the show wasn’t ideal to begin with. “Masketta Fall…
