Dandy Warhols @ Enmore Theatre Sunday 29 May

Yes they’re one of my favourite bands and yes their music is definitely in my top ten list of favourite artists and albums of all time. Does this make my opinion bias? Yes, it probably does but I’m still going to give you my 10 cents worth anyway. When the Dandy Warhols announced their tour [...]

Jebediah @ The Factory Theatre 27 May

The last time I remember seeing Jebediah live was back in 1998 at the Annandale Hotel.

Seemingly popular with teenagers in the late 90’s, this fun, alternative rock band from Perth had [...]

The 4 Chord Song by The Axis of Awesome

Am I the only person that didn’t know about this song? I heard it on the radio the other day and it is hilarious. It’s called “The 4 Chord Song” and it’s performed by an Australian musical comedy act called The Axis of Awesome. Commonly referred to as Australia’s version of Flight of the Conchords, [...]
