Steve Poltz @ The Northcote Social Club, 3rd Of March

May 4, 2012 by Lachy 3 Comments

At a Steve Poltz gig you’re never quite sure whether you’re witnessing an inspired solo show or one man’s slow descent into insanity. This time round, I’m pretty sure it was mostly the latter, however there was also a fair share of moments leaning towards genius as well.

November 1, 2010 by Lachy 0 Comments

Thanks to Keith Parsons for the photos. Last Saturday night Melbourne’s hardest working band, The Basics, played a wonderfully energetic, humorous, and fun show at the Northcote Social Club, very ably supported by Georgia Fair, who themselves seem destined for very big things.
