Last night I had the pleasure of catching Chris Murphy at Lizotte’s. The last time I saw this affable singer songwriter he was singing head-to-head with the likes of Damien Leith, Dean Geyer, and Bobby Flynn. The stripped back setting of this Central Coast icon is a world away from the Australian Idol stage, and […]

There are very few bands I’d stand out in the rain to see. But last night I did it for Matchbox Twenty, and I’d happily do it again.
Honestly, I was thrilled the concert went ahead at all. When I awoke in the […]

In the music channel today we’re all talking about our favourite concerts. This was a tough call for me. I saw my first show when I was 12 years old, and I’ve been a regular concert goer ever since. I’ve seen some brilliant shows in tiny little bars, and I’ve seen some real spectacles in […]

Last night I headed out to Mingara Rec Club to see Australia’s own king of swing, David Campbell. The crowd was more diverse than any I’ve seen before, with folks from 18 to 80 filling the auditorium.
They all rose to their feet as David made his way from the rear of the room to the […]

Last night I headed out to ACER Arena to catch living legend, Carlos Santana. Before entering the venue I had one big question on my mind: “How would he handle the duets?” There’s no doubt that Santana’s recent star studded duets album are the key to his latest wave of popularity, but without the likes […]

I grew up in the 1980s. It was a decade of big hair, big shoulder pads, and big power chords. And if you were a young girl in the 80s, you probably had a dirty big crush on Jon Bon Jovi.
That was more than twenty years ago, but walking into Acer Arena last night it […]

Last night I watched Shannon Noll doing his thing in Las Vegas courtesy of Deep Rock Drive. This cool new website allows people anywhere in the world to experience live music from the comfort of their own home.
I must admit, I was a little nervous about how my poor Broadband 1 connection would cope with […]

Gigs are a lot like singles really. Most of the time you’ve got your standard format: the big commercial success and the B-side. Everyone;s there for the big hit while the B-side, which may actually be very good, tends to act as a bit of padding.
But occasionally you happen upon a show that’s a double […]

Attending a concert the day before moving house may be insane to some, but that’s exactly what I did last Saturday. I left the chaotic mess of boxes in my apartment for a little music therapy at one of the Hunter Valley’s famous Day on the Green events. This time around I was treated to […]
