jezabels
“It takes a ballsy band to play the Sydney Opera House after just two albums… their ambition was given a pretty fair chance by a band which plays well enough to impress, a batch of songs which in their best moments have a soaring reach…and a singer who grew in confidence through the night until she was performing a lap dance on a woman from the front row and making it seem ridiculous and perfect.” The Sydney Morning Herald

Love cemented his stage presence from the outset with an opening 7 song medley including ‘Surfer Girl’ and ‘Surfin’, to name just two.
