Selling out is for losers like Bon Jovi: The Get Up Kids visit Brisbane
It’s like The Get Up Kids are born again and there is no crowd, no set list, no worries.
Ty Segall + Tiny Migrants @ Woodland, 07.07.11
It was OK. It was a bit grungey, a bit punk.
The Black Angels @ The Hi-Fi, 30.06.11
The Black Angels take to the stage and we head into the incredibly narrow photo pit.
tUnE-yArDs @ The Haunt, Brighton 21.06.11
Perhaps Merrill Garbus is the anti-Zooey Deschanel? I fucking hope so.
Chad VanGaalen @ Il Motore, Montreal 23.06.11
If you’re going to tell me his songs came out of nowhere and were never influenced by other bands, we’ll have to do some kung fu
Metronomy + Django Django @ La Cigale, Paris, 04.05.11
The sound of a theatre full of enthused Parisians is no mean feat, and Metronomy certainly seem to have instilled a sense of ‘Rule Britannia’ in this sweat-sodden throng as they heartedly cry out in a full crowd sing-along.
PJ Harvey @ The Troxy, London, 27.02.11
On a drab arterial road in Shadwell, in an art deco theatre, we wait in silence. There’s no support act or music to soothe us, just the sound of muttered conversation.
