On Tuesday night, as part of the City of Sydney's Chinese New Year celebrations, Jurassic Lounge at the Australian Museum opened its doors for its anticipated third season. As always, there was a little something for everyone: from silent disco, to guitar hero, to projections, live comedy and music from bands like Yeo and Camden.

I know it’s clichéd, but Washington truly has had an incredible couple of years. We’ve watched her transform from an adorable musical nerd playing the Oxford Arts Factory to an absolutely breathtaking artist selling out the Sydney Opera House in just two years. Her Insomnia show for Sydney Festival completely lived up to the hype surrounding it, to say the least.

Taking part in the first of Channel [V]’s Guerrilla Gigs for 2012, Boy & Bear nearly filled out the square in front of Manly Wharf. Such was the demand to see the multi-ARIA award winning group, there was already an attentive crowd sitting and waiting half an hour before the event was due to start.

As Big Day Out and its many official sideshows wrapped up in Sydney (there are still a few more special appearances to be made... such as Das Racist at the Rdio launch on Saturday), it's now time to officially welcome the sideshows of the 2012 Laneway Festival, with Active Child ringing in the period with a spellbinding show at the Oxford Art Factory on Sunday night.

New Zealand's Electric Wire Hustle have been around the world and back in the last few years. Since I last saw them play in Sydney early last year there has been a European tour, which even included playing at the iconic Glastonbury Festival. I was curious if these steps forward would be reflected in their performance on Friday night at The Keystone Festival Bar, as part of the line up with US based trio The Stepkids for the Sydney Festival.

DJ Creepy Uncle aka Megan Washington was the guest DJ at The Jagermeister Hunting Lodge last Friday night. Megan got the dance floor pumping to an eclectic set comprising of hits from the 70s, 80s & 90s.
