“The Knowgoods are no strangers to this game. Assured, sharp as the point of a pin, this is galactically good fun, with well-honed guitars and harmony over precise and mightily hammered-out rhythms. There’s something of both Elvis Costello in the intelligence and the old school rock ‘n’ roll vibe lurking behind a searing Hives-y sound. New one “Regular Egg” is a belter, but the whole set’s full of light and shade, up and down, and side-to-side. As balanced and as keen as a Japanese kitchen knife.”

I would like to acknowledge that the gigs that are pictured here, the stages they’re played on, the bars and venues they’re held in, and the good times they represent, are all held on lands that were never ceded by Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. I acknowledge these First Australians as the traditional custodians of the continent, whose cultures are among the oldest living cultures in human history. I pay respect to the Elders of the community and extend my recognition to their descendants.
