Moving Pictures Bustin’ Loose in Sydney and Melbourne!



After reuniting for a sold out tour in 2011, the original Moving Pictures line up is back for a limited number run of shows this August with special guests, Mental as Anything (ex. Melbourne).

Live Review: Stone Music Festival Day 2 – ANZ Stadium, Sydney – April 21, 2013

By Natalie Salvo
If Stone Music Festival’s first day was a salute to rock then day two proved a little more difficult to pigeonhole. The bill included an American piano man, two elder statesmen of Oz music, a new band and two former Australian Idol contestants. I suppose we’ll just have to say that this unlikely grouping meant that this was a celebration of music, pure and simple.

L.A. band, Illumination Road is a duo that was making their worldwide, live debut. The pair had three additional musicians on hand and they played rock music which took its reference points from some of the greats from the golden period in the sixties and seventies. “What We Say” closed the set and had a decent tune and with time these guys look poised to be ones to watch.

Live Review: Stone Music Festival Day 1 – ANZ Stadium, Sydney – April 20, 2013

By Natalie Salvo
Sydney was wet and it wasn’t David Lee Roth’s fault. Saturday morning had seen the heavens open again and again but rock ain’t about being comfortable and a little water never killed anyone. On day one of the inaugural Stone Music Festival, guitar heroes were king and no one was going to let a few showers rain on their musical parade.

A small but dedicated crowd watched LA Band, Buckcherry make their Sydney debut. They ploughed through hard rock songs like “Rescue Me” while “Gluttony” saw the rock ‘n’ roll forced up to 11. Lead singer, Josh Todd closed the set by asking how many crazy b**ches were in the house and it warmed my heart to see people getting into the spirit of the fest (i.e. “celebrating music, life and freedom”) by hollering about the deranged.

Live Review: Sticky Fingers @ The Zoo, Brisbane – April 18th, 2013

By Lauren Sherritt
Sticky Fingers have a lot to offer music lovers interested in hearing something a bit different to your average pop and they demonstrated this in undeniable fashion at the sold out Brisbane show of their national Caress Your Soul tour at The Zoo.

Equal mixes dub reggae and psychedelic pop go into the sound created by Sticky Fingers, the unique blend giving their live show a laid back atmosphere that still moves people to dance. The crowd at The Zoo was on average quite young, Sticky Fingers, or Sti-Fi as the band has nicknamed themselves, appealing with to a generation whose media is saturated with candy-sweet pop queens and synchronised, rosy-cheeked boy bands with their dark, humorous lyrics and a slower, dirtier rhythm.

Live Review: Public Image Ltd. (PiL) @ The Palace Theatre, Melbourne – April 11th 2013

By the time John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten) had made it to Melbourne’s Palace Theatre, the walking headline had left in his wake a storm of controversy. From a supposed misogynistic rant to dodgy sushi, Lydon knows the easiest way to drum up media coverage. Sure it’s not necessarily painting him in a good light, but the result was the same: ‘Bad press is still press.’

Whatever your feelings towards the man’s persona, when he gets on stage with his band mates in Public Image Ltd. his digressions are forgotten – instead getting a sense of just how much Lydon still enjoys music. This was made abundantly clear upon the release of their latest album This Is PiL last year, which garnered a good showing tonight.
