Harvest Festival Rumour Mill

June 14, 2011 by Lachy 2 Comments

If you’re in the mood for getting your hopes up only to have them potentially dashed in the most horrific fashion, then this is the post for you. A couple of weeks ago a music industry insider dubbed ‘Missinfo Chrissy’ claimed that “The Soundwave promoter is diverting his attention from the punk/bogan/emo/rock world and doing a more indie styled event called ‘Harvest’ which I believe will deffo feature Portishead and Bright Eyes and The National. Pretty sure this will be East Coast only”.

Last night Children Collide played a furious and exuberant set at the Prince Bandroom that left the crowd stunned and sweaty.

February 17, 2011 by Lachy 3 Comments

Last night LA band Foster The People played a staggeringly good show to a sold out crowd at the Northcote Social Club as a part of their first ever international tour. They showed no signs of their relative youth as a band, instead delivering a flawless and exhilarating set that lived up to the hype and confirmed Foster The People’s position as pretty much the hottest new band in the world right now.
