September 10, 2011 by Lachy 1 Comment

Last night Kimbra played a massive show at The Forum in Melbourne that was indicative of her insane rise to fame in the Australian music scene this year.

Review: Grouplove ‘Never Trust A Happy Song’

September 8, 2011 by Lachy 2 Comments

Splendour In The Grass Day Three Review

August 8, 2011 by Lachy 0 Comments

The final day of Splendour In The Grass is always bittersweet. But the Day Three timetable provided the prefect antidote to our premature feelings of loss, especially since it necessitated constantly moving between the three stages and deciding on a whole range of clashes. This was easily the busiest day of the festival for me, and even looking back now the amount of quality music I witnessed seems almost absurd.
