Live Review: Big Day Out – Melbourne 2013
Review by Billy Geary
Arriving at Flemington early on Saturday morning, there was an air of excitement amongst those arriving to see the first few bands. 2013 brought with it a rejuvenated Big Day Out, something that was much needed given the performance of the festival in recent years.
Despite the bright outlook, the Melbourne leg of Big Day Out got off to a shaky start when it was revealed to the gathering media contingent at the front gate that a truck break down had mean that some sound gear meant for the main stage had not arrived. The result meant that House Vs. Hurricane’s set was postponed to 8pm on the menial Red Stage and Me had their allocated set time halved as technicians battled to get the main stages ready.

Wes Carr: ‘Blood & Bone’ EP Tour Dates – February 2013
It’s a longstanding belief in native American culture that when someone dream’s of a Buffalo, they will soon return back to their heritage, back to their roots. Proud to announce the release of his debut EP ‘Blood & Bone’, Buffalo Tales is the new project for Sydney based singer-songwriter Wes Carr.
From his early days fronting Silverchair-offshoot Tambalane, to his well publicised success on reality TV, Wes has well and truly paid his dues and already lived several musical lifetimes, all before reaching the age of 30. Buffalo sees Carr return to his organic singer/songwriter roots and is an intimate and natural fit with folk and alt country overtones, that lets his music speak for itself.

Black Breath Australian Tour – April 2013
Black Breath Australian Tour April 2013
Black Breath emerged from dark basements and dive bars in the belly of Bellingham, Washington in 2005. Bored by the region’s apathy towards trenchant and punishing music, they combined elements of punk and metal with doses of the garage rock of their hometown. Their sound is acutely classic without being painfully retro; a ripping blend of Entombed, Celtic Frost, Poison Idea and Discharge. Continue reading Black Breath Australian Tour – April 2013
