Glitter Veils + Jeremy Mindharsh + Journeaux @ Alchemix Studios, Brisbane, 01.04.2017
The mesmeric curtain of sound which is Glitter Veils’ Figures in Sight represented a remarkably polished debut for the Brisbane outfit when it dropped in February this year. While Figures has been circulating for a little over a month, the group has taken longer to make an appearance live. But it seems that the reveal […]

Damage and Joy – The Jesus and Mary Chain (ADA/Warner)
It’s been a long wait – 18 years since their last offering – and fans of The Jesus and Mary Chain, like myself, have surely been hanging out for the band’s ninth studio album, Damage and Joy.

It’s been five years since The Specials last toured Australia and the fans are more than appreciative of the balmy Saturday evening and happy vibe […]
Wayward Lee Reports To Base: A Blog, A “Band”, The Foxygen Massacre, A Crippling Crush, And Some Nice Chats (11/16 – 3/17)
Howdy, guys. If you’ve been paying attention to Collapse Board at all, you’ll note that I haven’t been here lately. I wish I could say that I’ve been trotting the globe in the five-month interim, questing for loot and slaying fiends. Alas, no, I’ve only been writing for three other outlets – one of those […]
