An evening with Andrew McMahon (Something Corporate/Jacks Mannequin) – Australian tour announced! [Tour News]
 |
With two influential bands and a sold out solo tour of the USA under his belt, ANDREW MCMAHON thoroughly deserves his place as a true star in the music scene. Best known as the piano-pounding front man of Something Corporate and Jackʼs Mannequin, his smooth voice and touching lyrics have amassed loyal and adoring fans the world over.
To a music fan of any age, the name Something Corporate brings back a flood of memories and induces dewy-eyed nostalgia. With pensive piano and chugging guitars, ANDREW MCMAHON wrote sincerely of loneliness, homesickness and longing, ensuring the band’s enduring appeal. “SoCo was light years ahead of its time, insightful and smart” (Riverfront Times), paving the way for the numerous melancholic introspective bands that followed after their hiatus in 2004. |
Weaving beautiful metaphors through piano-laced rock, ANDREW MCMAHON’s live shows are stuff of legend, “Whether it was through his animated facial expressions, sharing his presence with the different sides of the stage, or jumping off the piano… McMahon knew exactly how to get his fans to that feverish pitch that felt as if it could bring down the whole building.” – Rocknroll Ghost
Power-pop and piano-rock has never sounded so sincere and we are delighted to confirm ANDREW MCMAHON will be touring Australia in February. With help from Bobby Anderson he will be performing songs acoustically from his brilliant solo career along with definitive hits from Something Corporate and Jack’s Mannequin.

YOU AM I @ The Hi-Fi, Brisbane 27th November 2010 with We All Want To, The Honey Month, Charles Jenkins – Live Review
Review: Pepa Wolfe
YOU AM I @ THE HI-FI BRISBANE – 27TH NOVEMBER 2010
SUPPORTED BY – WE ALL WANT TO, THE HONEY MONTH, CHARLES JENKINS
 |
An eclectic night at the Hi-fi (Brisbane) began with Charles Jenkins and his special brand of epic tales and poetry. Just the man, his guitar and a few gems, mainly from his current album Walk This Ocean and the previous release Blue Atlas.
A smattering of devotees amongst the early chatting crowd requested favourites. He didn’t have time to play Trees of Brisbane, but those begging for Swing Bridge got lucky. Friendly, self-depreciating and appreciative of his audience, he worked his way through a strong set, from the heartbreaking Autumn Fall to the thrilling beckoning of Save. Fantastic imagery, bittersweet, at turns gripping then soothing, each song has simplicity yet feels cinematic. Such a beautiful repertoire. If you’re not yet familiar with Jenkins, do yourself a favour and become promptly acquainted. |

Manic Street Preachers @ The Hi-Fi, Brisbane with Dead Actors Club, 13 November 2010 – Live Review
Review: Denis Semchenko
 |
Tonight’s crowd at The Hi-Fi is presumably identical to the one for The Charlatans on Wednesday night (I didn’t go, but a couple friends attended the show): not a lot of young people; Britpop aficionados and sporadic old-school goths rubbing shoulders with rowdy-looking UK expats. Additionally, the atmosphere – surprisingly for the venue – is exceptionally friendly and everyone seems to be here for a genuinely good time.
As often the case with touring overseas acts, the choice of an opening band is a trifle idiosyncratic. Rolling a cool name, busy hairstyles, drainpipe jeans, red Nord synth and spiky guitars into one indie-dance package, Melbournians Dead Actors Club are fun to watch for the first couple of numbers, but soon get predictable. We do, however, have a hoot when the quintet air a track that is The Bloodhound Gang’s |
“Bad Touch” in all but name – in this era, any cheesy ’90s reference, whether purely coincidental or not, is likely to get a jolly response.

Live Review – The Dillinger Escape Plan + Maylene and the Sons of Disaster at The Hi Fi, Brisbane 25 May 2010
Review: Hannah Collins
Following on from the destruction that took place at Sydney’s Metro Theatre on Friday 21st, Sunday 23rd of May saw the malicious line up on the The Dillinger Escape Plan tour park their vans and load their gear into the rear of Brisbane’s Hi Fi.
With both headliner, and second support bands touring off the back of their latest releases, they’ve come; ready blow the house away with an arrangement of toxically destructive yet undeniably distinct songs. Maylene don’t’ look like your typical metal band, because they’re not. Neither are Dillinger. Both acts are well known for their pioneering ability to create and mould new genres of sounds, encompassing an array of metal, jazz, blues, rockabilly, punk and screamo. The collection of sounds we’re about to hear are unique only to the bands who’ve created them. Maylene are drilling to the core of traditional rock and metal and intently injecting an air of southern flair, quite familiar to their place of foundation; Burmingham, Alabama. While Dillinger, a much earlier conception, incorporate their own blend of metal (progressive, thrash, hardcore, punk) and jazz fusions to have become, the pioneers of what critics and fans alike now know as “math metal”. With such a partricular combination of artists, the show will surely be, as mind boggling and utterly intriguing as the bands themselves.
