New Music 10/2025 – Kim Gordon, Everything But the Girl

Former bassist-singer of Sonic Youth makes ugly but compelling noise on a solo record; a comeback album from the English pop duo.
Candlelight: Best of Hans Zimmer @ Collingwood Town Hall

Though I went in with modest expectations, this string quartet tribute to Hans Zimmer turned out to be delightful, and the venue wasn’t too shabby either.
MSO: Winter Gala – Lang Lang @ Hamer Hall

My classical streak continued with this very special evening. This time, Melbourne Symphony Orchestra teamed up with the Chinese piano superstar for a night of Ravel, Saint-Saëns and Mussorgsky.
MSO: A Reflection in Time @ Hamer Hall

Another wonderful night with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, featuring the ultimate tearjerker, a local violin wunderkind, and Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5.
Beth Gibbons @ Hamer Hall

I’m glad I had a chance to see the elusive Portishead lead singer live, but I wish I found the concert more emotionally engaging.
Rodrigo y Gabriela @ Northcote Theatre

My first time seeing the genre-bending Mexican guitar duo, who put on one of the most riveting and virtuosic live performances I’ve ever seen.
MSO: Vivaldi and More @ Hamer Hall
