Once again Regurgitator had decided to hit the road for a run of shows. I have to confess that I grew up with this band; all through high school “the gurge” always made the playing list at our parties…
Heavily percussive and Latin driven, “Our Word is our Weapon” is everything that BKB are, worldly, provocative, colourful and danceable.
“the fears were unfounded and Brisbane will continue to produce great bands with national and international potential…”
Self described as psychedelic trance rock; they certainly very quickly manage to literally trance the whole audience into a hypnotic dance…

One 4 All – Karalbo @ Brisbane Powerhouse 16 October 2009 Photo and Review by José Eduardo Cruz For many reasons, tonight’s offering is nothing short of spectacular. This is theater at its rawest and most natural without the star attitude. The performers are not paid actors, nor are they trained or would they be … Continue reading Live Review | One 4 All – Karalbo @ Brisbane Powerhouse 16 October 2009
This rather cold Wednesday night presented itself as an interesting proposition from the start. It would have been safe to assume that if you had decided to set up a hair spray stall just outside the venue you would have made a handsome profit.

Review By Jose Eduardo Cruz Photo by Matt Palmer After overcoming security guards that were more intent on removing bottled water from punters then checking bags for dangerous items, I entered the RNA to a sea of people ready to have a good time. There was an incredible amount of space for everyone to move … Continue reading Live Review | Sounds of Spring 2009 (part 2)
It was New Zealand night at the Hi-Fi Brisbane last Friday, and if the accents didn’t give it away then the multitude of girls walking around screaming out for their countrymen did. Irrespective of how bad (and hilarious) the Flight of the Conchords make us look though, there’s no shortage of amazing New Zealander entertainers out there and Shapeshifter are undoubtedly some of the finest.
Buick Six are relatively new within the industry, but do not be fooled by the anonymity. They are a three piece local Brisbane band that has a fresh sound, or at the very minimum, is doing what other bands are doing within the genre, but just that much better to gain rapid notoriety.

Tijuana Cartel – @ The Troubadour 17 July 2009 By José Eduardo Cruz [Photo: José Eduardo Cruz] Let’s begin by saying that tonight was a sold out night, which is an incredible success for any band. No matter in which venue or which city this is achieved at, once you see the sold out … Continue reading Live Review: Tijuana Cartel @ The Troubadour, Brisbane 17 July 2009
True Live @ The Zoo , Brisbane 4 July 2009 Supported by: The Kidney Thieves. Author: Jose Eduardo Cruz Saturday was a very cold and windy night in Brisbane, which would keep many a punter at home. Being Brisbane anything short of perfect weather keeps most concert goers away from live venues. Keeping this … Continue reading Live Review: True Live + The Kidney Thieves @ The Zoo, Brisbane 4 July 2009
