The Hot BBQ Review

January 24, 2011 by Lachy 0 Comments

On Saturday, thousands of people descended onto Portsea for what has been dubbed a ‘VIP Dance Party’ by mainstream media outlets for some reason, but was in fact the Hot BBQ Music Festival. Although the festival lineup boasted pretty much a who’s who of Triple J favourites at the moment, the festival itself was one of big hits and even bigger misses for me personally. This being said, it was still a good day.

Gig Review: Bluejuice And Philadelphia Grand Jury @ The Eureka Hotel, 21st January

January 24, 2011 by Lachy 0 Comments

On Friday night both Bluejuice and Philadelphia Grand Jury absolutely demolished the Eureka Hotel as a part of their ‘Sizzling 2011’ tour. The night featured the best sets I have heard from each band respectively, which combined with some awesome mid-set music provided by Purple Sneakers DJs to create an amazing party atmosphere and an almost absurd amount of fun for one gig.

Gig Review: The National @ The Palais, 10th January

January 11, 2011 by Lachy 0 Comments

Last night I was lucky enough to see my favourite band live for the second night in a row. Although the experience for me was completely different, seated in the balcony instead of right at the front of the Stalls, there were many similarities between both shows. Because of this, I’m going to try writing […]

Gig Review: The National @ The Palais, 9th January

January 10, 2011 by Lachy 22 Comments

One runs out of adjectives to describe Brooklyn’s The National after a while. Their music is simultaneously brooding, emotional, uplifting, dark, restrained, and electrifying. However the one word that sticks with me is ‘majestic’. And last night, The National put on a show at Melbourne’s Palais Theatre that was majestic in every possible sense of the word, and will go down as my favourite gig to date.

Gig Review: The Morning Benders @ The Corner Hotel, 5th January

January 6, 2011 by Lachy 1 Comment

Last night one of the real ‘bands of now’, The Morning Benders, played a Falls Festival sideshow at the Corner Hotel. Not only was their performance immaculate, but it was great to see a band so truly appreciative of the reception they received and having such an awesome time. Add a top notch support act […]

Gig Review: Born Ruffians @ The Northcote Social Club, 2nd January

January 3, 2011 by Lachy 0 Comments

Last night Born Ruffians began 2011 with a show where pretty much everything that could go wrong did, from broken strings to broken drum pedals to mics cutting off. However somehow all of this only served to make the show more entertaining and special which, coupled with one of the most awesome crowds I have […]
