It’s been some time since I’ve visited the Old Museum, and it’s pleasing to see that the concert hall’s spacious natural reverb is still there. In hindsight, The Church couldn’t have chosen a more apt venue for the Brisbane launch of their new album Further/Deeper than the Old Museum: a stately red brick building that indeed resembles a place of worship.

Review by Scott Singh
It is hard to summarise the night that was spent watching the glorious men of Bluejuice give it their all at the Metro Theatre for the last time, only because the night was filled with so much substance that I know something will linger past this review and remain with those who witnessed the show.
To start off the night, the relatively fresh band Jody welcomed the crowd with a breezy disposition, drawing a great likeness to the summer-indie image that more developed bands have owned. This kind of familiarity did take away from the experience the band was trying to deliver.

Blue King Brown, Australia’s socially conscious premier live urban roots & reggae powerhouse release their new album, BORN FREE, on November 7, 2014. Always pushing musical boundaries, the band’s idea was to break into new ground with this release. Lyrically, the album is the distillation of the raw essence of Nattali’s truth. Musically it’s an adventure that explores the international vibration that is ever evolving around BKB. First single All Nations, which comes with a profoundly provocative film clip, was instantly added by triple j.
