It’s quite rare to have a venue launch in Brisbane - us Queenslanders really don’t have the cultural climate that overly supports live music. So it was initially exciting to be going to a launch for a new venue called The Barlow. I was imagining an exciting and fabulous party that would herald in a new place for me to drown my sorrows on Friday nights. Unfortunately the night didn’t quite pan out like this and I went home feeling a bit bored and apathetic. But to help try and make the night a hit, The Barlow also saw the EP Launch of Cold and Need, supported by The Deer Republic and Klaus.

To celebrate the release of ‘Lions and Witches’, Sydney-based six-piece Tigertown brought their ‘Age of Winter’ tour to Brisbane's Black Bear Lodge. Heath Carney was there to take some snaps.
