The concert of a lifetime. An epic 3 hour saturation of some of the best songs ever written in the history of music that I’m actually at a loss for words. I’m so overwhelmed to try and write after a night out with the man himself, that I have to stop myself getting all choked up as I still cannot …

Sydney always shines that much more brighter when Culture Club are in town. To have a third mega successful Australian tour in 18 months is just extraordinary and the ICC Sydney Theatre crowd were spoiled with another great show on Friday night. The party people of the Harbour City came out in full force, with many flashy outfits and coiffed …

You would have to have been living under a rock to not know this legendary band. My memories of UB40 go so far back that I still get images of my older sister’s 45’s being thrashed on the old record player. Needle comes up, needle goes back down, repeat, repeat again. Try not to scratch it, can’t risk this precious …

  HEY LOVE – OUT NOW!   Canadian country artist, Amy Nelson has struck a distro deal with Social Family Records, with her first single through the indie label, Hey Love, dropping today. The energetic international performer burst onto the Australian music scene earlier this year with the single, Ish, charting across the nation.  The Canadian who has recently spent more time Downunder than in her native …

80’s Mania is an understatement! This was an 80’s dance and sweat fest, sprinkled with everything and anything that you can imagine. Multiple 80’s outfits decorating the packed out crowd, joyous singing, dancing, a few Saturday night drinks thrown in and lots of laughs. With a sensational line up featuring Cutting Crew, Paul Young, Wang Chung, Go West and Taylor Dayne, we knew we …

I relish the nights of seeing this unique band live and the excitement still hasn’t dissipated 23 years later …. and still counting. Our Aussie adopted Canadian sons, The Tea Party just continue to add more feathers to their already overdecorated cap with last night’s Enmore Theatre gig in Sydney.  The first course was a celebration of the 20 year anniversary …

Well, wasn’t that just one of the most thrilling things you will ever get to see and hear in your entire life? The delectable Sebastian Bach shaking the Manning Bar in Sydney down to its very core with one of the best heavy rock/metal voices to ever grace our Earth. It has been nearly 25 years since I saw Skid …

  PHOTO:  © DOT HOPKINS  I’ve been to a few concerts in my time, but I don’t recall the last time I saw a crowd rise to their feet before the headline act even hit the stage – and stay there for the entire show! And certainly not at Melbourne’s Hamer Hall. But that’s how it was on Tuesday night …

To say I was an obsessed Kiss fan would be an understatement.  I lived and breathed for this band and, after Criss’ departure, Ace Frehley became my favourite as I shared his passion for all things Space related.  During their 1980 tour, my friends and I snuck into the Sydney showground and got a sneak peek of their soundcheck before …

Two words.. still recovering, or maybe just one word ‘wrecked’…  Just from the concert that is…   What a corker of a night in Sydney on Saturday at the Hordern Pavilion when we had the double delight of the legendary Mr Alice Cooper celebrating 40 years of touring Australia, with some awesome Ace Frehley hammering our heads beforehand… Wow, this was …
