Otis Thomas @ Portugal Madeira Club, Nov 10

“Otis Thomas is contemplatively daft. Some serious thought has gone into this particular musical unspooling. The train, she is off its rails – but that’s a feature, not a flaw.” Facebook | Instagram [flickr_set id=”72157703308076024″]

Buddy Dingo @ Portugal Madeira Club, Nov 10

“Buddy Dingo sings wild-eyed songs about backyards and outback golf and kangaroos and is basically the offspring of a dusty boot, a wide-brimmed hat with some corks hanging off it, and some cricket. It’s totally demented, and not a small bit brilliant.” Facebook | Instagram [flickr_set id=”72157701903474371″]

The Cool Whirrs @ The Sneaky Possum, Nov 3

“The Cool Whirrs bring – and I guess I should have seen this coming – an actual cool whirr of noise, one that soothes and flutters and jumps and coils around. There’s more funk than I’m usually comfortable with, but this is roaringly good fun, danceable and huggable, all at the same time.” Facebook [flickr_set […]

Warwick Kennedy @ The Sneaky Possum, Nov 3

“There’s just bags of smarts in Warwick Kennedy’s set tonight – there’s some meaty head-losing pace, some truly witty guitar lines, Smudge / Lemonheads comfy-blanket songwriting that gives way to stuff that sounds it’s been propelled by a damn jet engine. Sharp as.” Facebook | Instagram [flickr_set id=”72157697269529830″]

Abby & Eilidh @ The Sneaky Possum, Nov 3

“Abby May and Eilidh McGuire are separate artists who tonight make up one Voltron-like tapestry of lovely. Rich and airy and light and delicious – plus bonus points for a Britney cover.” Facebook | Instagram [flickr_set id=”72157703009142964″]

Blue Velvet @ Wayward’s, Oct 27

“Blue Velvet have absolutely no brakes and this is good. Humour mixes with high-speed chases through crowded streets, harmonies hammer against the walls until they threaten to collapse, good times abound. Spring is here, and everything is fucking blooming.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter [flickr_set id=”72157699635845712″]

Spit Chewy @ Wayward’s, Oct 27

“Spit Chewy have this marvellous balance between utter chaos and tight control, songs that effortlessly clear the roof of the building alongside a sense that it could all burn down at any moment. Tense, massive, and such eager fun. Love it.” Facebook | Instagram [flickr_set id=”72157697008110620″]

Hatakaze @ Wayward’s, Oct 27

“Second time seeing Hatakaze and – wait, what? – it seems like they’ve grown even more muscular and sharpened the fangs to an even finer point. This is urgent and insistent and razor-bloody-sharp. Oh, yes please.” Facebook | Instagram [flickr_set id=”72157699635759202″]
