“And on the 5th night, thou shalt be blessed with not just one Rock icon, but two, and Sydney shall receive a thorough rock’n’roll shellacking”, the Rock God said to his Disciples. If that isn’t an understatement for last night’s corker of a night at the Enmore Theatre in Sydney, then I don’t know what is. KISS rock legends Gene Simmons …
‘Rare and Spine-tingling’ best describes the magic witnessed on stage tonight. Hearing our own treasured Australian artists’ interpretation of Jimmy Webb’s timeless classics was something very special indeed. What a stroke of genius from promoter, John Zaccaria, to suggest such a concept of shows. I remember being blown away by Webb’s tour last year and getting totally swept up in …
Isn’t it one of the best feelings in the world when an artist that you have adored for decades ends up being better than the great reviews you have read or heard before? They are so exceptional that I’m left quite ‘happily floating’ for days afterwards. Although only ten years old at the time, I was, like many, obsessed with …
Yes, yes, yes, I know…. Another Bay City Rollers gig within 5 days! I admit it, I have turned into a full blown Roller maniac. But how can you blame me? Such a contagious show, with brilliant performances from Les and the band, and those lovely melodies, lyrics and fun tunes that keep me wanting more. I couldn’t help myself… …
What more could you want on a chilly night in Sydney than dancing and singing the evening away with those sexy Scots ‘The Bay City Rollers’, sizzling up the stage? I couldn’t wait for another night of fun and nostalgia at Revesby Workers Club with Les McKeown’s Bay City Rollers. After an eye opening initiation last year, it was time …
In Australia we have kangaroos and koalas, the Great Barrier Reef and Uluru, and we also have the incomparable Jeff Martin. Another Aussie icon, adopted but, nevertheless, he has become a part of our musical passage and story. (Sorry Canada…we can share!) How lucky and spoiled are we when such a talented artist decides to reside on our shores, and tour every …
BURN IT DOWN – The Dead Daisies Spitfire Music/SPV Released: April 2018 Since they emerged on to the music scene in 2013, The Dead Daisies have built a bit of a reputation for themselves as a hard hitting, heavy duty rock supergroup of sorts, with a rotating line-up of some of the best hard rock musicians from around the …
A rare diamond, that is John Waite. We finally got our first Australian tour after a few past attempts and this is one evening that will leave you in awe. A ’40th Anniversary Wooden Heart’ tour that is everything except wooden. Those spellbinding vocals and lyrics of songs, peppered through history since the 70’s, leave you in a permanent state of joy, and …
Sydney loves a good party, but the most important ingredient is sensational music, and last night’s showcase of old school R&B, funk and soul was just what the ‘dance and love doctor’ ordered to kick off our Easter long weekend. To think of just one of these artists, let alone 2, on the same bill, was enough to make me salivate when the tour …
Photo: © ANGIE PATON 2018 Nothing gets the blood pumping like a night of live music and when you have a smorgasbord of some of the country’s finest artists to thrill the senses, all in one place, one after the other, it’s a huge adrenalin rush. Pure Gold Live offers up such a musical banquet every year and Melbourne’s …
