January 2010

Frightened Rabbit - John Curtin Hotel (28.01.10)

I must admit that when I heard I was going to review a band named ‘Frightened Rabbit’, I had some reservations. An obscure, Scottish band from a town named Selkirk; A band of which neither myself nor most people I asked had heard. So, with that in mind, I was surprised to see that the show to take place on the 28th of January at the John Curtin Hotel in Carlton had sold out.

Kinematic - Kites (2009 LP)

kinematic-kites

The independently released ‘Kites’ from Melbourne indie-pop-rock band
Kinematic seems to have what it takes to bring a break to the band, on
first listen. However, the album lacks the attitude to grab the
listeners and make them really commit this album to memory; it remains
a bunch of feel-good pop-rock songs with some impressive guitar work,
and nothing more.

The Horrors + Fabulous Diamonds - Corner Hotel (27.01.10)

Tonight was the night I had been waiting for, for the last three years. At 17 this band was my all, now at 20 I was finally going to witness their havoc in the flesh; The Horrors!

Following the hype of his last single ‘Exegesis’, Melbourne-based Tobias Cummings has released his latest track ‘Goldmine’, which is just a small musical snack from his forth-coming album due to be released mid 2010.
