Cosmo Jarvis @ The Corner Hotel, 3rd Of January

January 6, 2013 by Lachy 0 Comments

Last Thursday night the one and only Cosmo Jarvis played a very entertaining set to an enthusiastic Corner Hotel crowd. It had been just a few months since the UK musician last toured Australia, only this time he brought a full band down with him, which added a lot of texture and power to his live show. This gig was a whole different beast to his earlier acoustic set at the comparatively tiny Pure Pop Records Courtyard, yet it was still full of the typical and exuberant Cosmo Jarvis flourishes and trademarks, and made for a night of fantastic music.

Of Monsters And Men @ The Corner Hotel, 20th Of July

July 22, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

On Friday night Icelandic band Of Monsters And Men played their first ever show in Melbourne to a rapt and sold out crowd at the Corner Hotel. Their set was so consistently strong that it beggared belief coming from a band who have only released one album, and the high points of the night stand out as some of the most enjoyable times I’ve had at a gig so far this year.

Of Monsters And Men Australian Tour

June 11, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

As was widely reported last week, Of Monsters And Men announced an Australian tour today. Thankfully they made sane venue choices, aren’t doing a stupid ballot system, and aren’t just coming for a festival. What a refreshing change. Can’t wait for the Melbourne show. Details below.

Gig Review: Portugal. The Man And Givers @ The Corner Hotel, 9th February

February 11, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

It’s pretty rare that you can see three fantastic bands at the one gig for one very low price, but that’s exactly what those who visited the Corner Hotel last Thursday enjoyed. The double-headline bill of old indie favourites Portugal. The Man and new kids on the block Givers was a brilliant combination albeit a bit of an odd one, and chuck in opening act Guineafowl and you really do have an incredible gig for a Thursday night. It was lovely to get a bit of a taste of Laneway, and all the bands involved definitely delivered.

Gig Review: The Tallest Man On Earth @ The Corner Hotel, 25th October

October 26, 2011 by Lachy 1 Comment

Playing mostly gentle acoustic music to a packed Tuesday night crowd certainly isn’t the easiest gig in the world. Kristian Matsson, also deceptively known as The Tallest Man On Earth, made it look absurdly easy however, to the point where the crowd’s reaction can only be adequately described as that of hero worship.
