Live Review : Jebediah + Adalita at The Corner Hotel, Richmond – June 18, 2015

Review by Ben Connolly
Jebediah at The Corner Hotel, Richmond - June 17, 2015
In a different universe, a Jebediah of 20 years ago probably would have been a short­ term affair. It’s gangly awkward pop­ punk probably would have survived the ubiquitous relocation from its original Western Australian outpost to the big smoke of the East, but it would have been no doubt an indie­fied square peg in a mainstream round hole.

5 Seconds Of Summer at Allphones Arena, Sydney - June 20, 2015

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!

Sydney boys 5 Seconds of Summer kicked off their first ever headline Australian arena show last night at Allphones Arena in Sydney on a high. Thousands of screaming teenage fans filled the arena for their favourite band to take the stage. As the screen was raised their appeared Ashton who opened the show solo on a drum riser getting the crowd ready before his band mates joined him. Opening their sold out show with their upbeat hit End Up Here had their fans go wild from the get go. From that moment the audience knew they were in for a spectacular night.

Live Review : Tedeschi Trucks Band at Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas – June 9, 2015

Tedeschi Trucks Band at Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas - June 9,
When you think of Las Vegas thoughts of gambling and the chance of winning *or loosing* it all in the Sin City come to mind. Whilst for some this maybe a reality for others they search for more in this town and you don’t have to look far to discover the plethora of music that visits the city on a daily basis. On Tuesday night the Tedeschi Trucks Band rolled into town for one night as part of their “Wheels Of Soul” tour. Playing to a sellout crowd at “The Pearl” the show carried plently of grind in relation to the power of the voice and musicians. Opening act Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings plus Doyle Bramhall II rocked the house proving just what the crowd needed to kick off the evening. Sharon Jones brought her high powered voice combined with a healthy dose of attitude to the house. Jones backed by a 10 piece band communicated candidly with the audience even discussing her personal battles with cancer. Nothing was going to stop her and the voice alone powered throughout the house.

Birds of Tokyo at The Metro Theatre, Sydney - June 7, 2015
Ecca Vandal is first on the bill tonight, and it’s easy to see why she has been causing a stir of late. From the moment the band step on stage, they demand your immediate attention – blurring the lines between hip-hop, hardcore punk and an 80s rave.

Live Review : Nickelback at Newcastle Entertainment Centre – May 23, 2015

Review by David Jackson – sbj.rocks
Nickelback

Nickelback keep it loud and personal during their Newcastle leg of the No Fixed Address world tour.

I guess the opening song said it all “Million Miles an Hour”. This was the speed Nickelback took to the stage and to the audience during the Newcastle stopover of their No fixed Address World Tour. “Newcastle, what are the chances of landing here on a Saturday night” one of the many interactions lead singer Chad Kroeger had with the audience during their powerful 20 song set. This was the second time the Canadian rockers had visited the city in the past 5 years, this time it was on the back of their eighth studio album No Fixed Address.

Live Review : Mötley Crüe ‘The Final Tour’ with Alice Cooper at Brisbane Entertainment Centre – May 19, 2015

Mötley Crüe at Brisbane Entertainment Centre - May 19, 2015
The Brisbane Entertainment Centre was packed to the rafters with eager fans coming out to farewell MOTLEY CRUE on their last ever stop in Brisbane as part of ‘The Final Tour’. And opening for Motley Crue was none other than the master of macabre theatrical rock ALICE COOPER.

With a cut down set time of only 50 minutes, Alice and his band waste no time kicking off their set with gritty anthemic classics Department of Youth and No More Mr. Nice Guy. By the time we hit the third song Under My Wheels the crowd is singing, jumping and primed for more.
