Sweetie @ Wayward’s, 1st Apr

“Thereโ€™s always so much going on in a Sweetie set, itโ€™s hard to keep pace. The songwriting is so sharp and densely packed with detail itโ€™s easy to miss that itโ€™s also built to bamboozle you with joy and dancing at the same time. Itโ€™s a lot to process. The lungs are left empty and […]

The Buoys – I Want You

“The Buoys return to the fray with a hair-shaker for the ages, a track so full of vim it’s spilling over the sides and pooling on the floor. One of the best tracks they’ve written – and hoo yeah, that’s saying something ๐Ÿ’ƒ”

Sweetie @ Mary’s Underground, 6th May

“Sweetie are as ambitious as ever tonight, with a headline set to launch their oh-so-fine โ€˜Collisionโ€™ EP that features old ones, never-played new ones, and a whole bloody choir of Sydney ace faces. A fabulous band, poetic in their songwriting, capable of conjuring magic from the bare minimum then dropping fully-maxed out loon moments. Few […]

Sweetie @ HiWay Bikini, 1st Apr

“Sweetie continue to intrigue, a project in its youth yet with the quiet power and the understated intensity to grab hold and not let go. While we wait patiently for recorded material to eventually emerge there are still these shows – as occasionally dark and strange as life itself, but performed with joy and pleasure.”

Sweetie @ The Lansdowne, 21st Jan

“Sweetieโ€™s second show emphasises the core of this band – they *really* care. Some bands project mayhem, some poetry, some technical skill, but at the heart of Sweetie is… well, heart. The range on offer in this set is broader than you can take in, but every single one bounds off the stage, chock full […]
