LIVE REVIEW: Louis Tomlinson – Fortitude Music Hall

I was a Directioner, and in some ways I still consider myself one. I saw One Direction six times over their six year reign. I saw them play the 2800 person capacity Beacon Theatre in New York during their first album run, and then saw them play to 50,000 people at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane…

LIVE REVIEW: Tate McRae – Fortitude Music Hall 

Tate McRae is a superstar. But that isn’t something that the world doesn’t know by now as the Canadian singer, songwriter, and dancer has dominated the charts, hit viral status multiple times, and successfully sold out her debut headlining Australian tour in four minutes. It’s no small feat for any artist, but especially someone who…

GALLERY: Short Stack – Fortitude Music Hall

It’s officially Short Stack season again, and it’s time to party like its 2009. With their reunion tour set for 2020, things quickly got derailed. But in the time they waited to get back on the road they wrote and recorded a new album. Their fourth studio album ‘Maybe There’s No Heaven’ is the record…

LIVE REVIEW: The Wombats – Riverstage

At this stage The Wombats are honorary Australians. I won’t take any arguments for this case as their fanfare every time they return to Australia is nothing short of extraordinary. It’s been a while in-between visits thanks to the global pandemic which hit pause on touring, but we are back in venues singing along together,…

LIVE REVIEW: Gretta Ray – The Outpost 

Soaked in rich melodies, cathartic emotions, and coming-of-age themes, Gretta Ray’s debut album ‘Begin To Look Around’ was an impressive and deeply honest affair. But due to the ongoing pandemic, the Melbourne based singer-songwriter wasn’t able to bring the album to the live-stage, the way it deserved. 10 months on and she has finally hit…
