Morgan Evans Life Upside Down Tour Palais Theatre St Kilda Thursday, September 14th, 2023
Morgan Evans is on the last leg of fourteen sold-out shows across Australia, including two at the Sydney Opera House and a record-breaking crowd at Queensland Gympie Muster. For those of us lucky enough to follow the career of this Newcastle-born, now Nashville resident, they would have witnessed the best part of fifteen years of hard work and commitment. As a Newcastle local, did I feel proud to be there and watch this? Dam right I am.
Yours and Owls Festival, the gift that keeps on
giving! Not one, but TWO surprise acts are landing, to expand your weekend
musical immersion. Open your arms and welcome ARIA and AIR award-winning
electronic duo Flight Facilities,
and three-time platinum-selling electronic rock band Pendulum to the
2023 line up, both playing Sunday!
Over the years, Flight
Facilities have continued to deliver their fans new live show formats and
music experiences. From the studio to the DJ booth, to the biggest live stages,
be it Ibiza all-night long DJ Sets to performing live with world-renowned
orchestras; they continue to reimagine how they connect with people.
Their infectious feel-good tracks like ‘Crave You’, ‘Clair de Lune’and ‘Heavy’regularly infiltrate dance floors and festival crowds worldwide. Most recently, they have presented their famed Decades Mix series, which will be brought to life on stage at Yours and Owls! Digging deep from the 1970s to today, fans can anticipate anything in these extended sets – from disco bootlegs to electro edits, indie anthems, prized underground classics and more.
Pendulum are undoubtedly one of the biggest
electronic bands of all time. They returned in 2021 from a hiatus to release
their EP ‘Elemental’ and storm into 2023 with new single ‘Halo’ featuring Bullet For My Valentine
front man Matt Tuck.

Brad Cox Live at the Dalrymple Hotel Townsville Queensland – 2 July 2023
I had an opportunistic chance to see Brad Cox’s show in Townsville on Sunday night. The venue, the Dalrymple Hotel, a pub in the centre of Townsville on a steamy night, was packed, yet another sellout on this national tour. Nearly 600 “Coxheads” packed the venue tonight to see what has quickly become the hottest act in Australian country music.
LUKE MORLEY – SONGS FROM THE BLUE ROOM Released – 23rd June 2023 Conquest Music
Luke Morley has stood at the very heart of UK rockers Thunder since 1989 as their guitarist, chief songwriter and producer.
He’s been a lynchpin in their 14 albums’ success and served a crucial role in building up these rock heroes’ loyal fanbase and enduring popularity, helping Thunder enjoy 7 UK Top 10 albums and 18 Top 40 singles: impressive metrics, but there’s more to Luke than most know or expect, and his new solo album Songs From the Blue Room brings other less well-known aspects of his talents into the limelight.
