The Good China ‘We Knew That We Had To Leave’

July 26, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

elbourne band The Good China are seemingly incapable of writing a bad song, and this is only further illustrated by their new single We Knew That We Had To Leave, which is the first taste of an upcoming new EP. It’s got the band’s trademark harmonies and joyously busy choruses, mixed with a charming self-awareness and tongue-in-cheek lyrics including the refrain of “I’m so fucking indie I don’t even listen to 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.

Lisa Mitchell @ St Michael’s Church, 13th Of June

June 17, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

If church is always as enjoyable as it was last Wednesday night then I’ve been missing out all my life. Lisa Mitchell and Georgia Fair put on a great show, but it really was the unusual venue that turned this from what would have been a couple-of-times-a-year experience to one that felt truly special. St Michael’s Church deceptively appeared as if it were designed for this kind of thing, and boasted great acoustics, a perfect balcony, and even a makeshift stage. It provided an incredible backdrop for the night’s entertainment.
