Aurora @ Palais Theatre
Category: Music
My crazy busy concert-going week concluded with another fabulous live show from the enchanting, quirky and adorable Norwegian songbird.
Florence + The Machine @ Rod Laver Arena
Four years after the last tour, it was a pleasure to see wonderful and bewitching Florence Welch spin her magic with yet another out-of-this-world performance, on the International Women’s Day no less.
Heilung @ Forum Theatre
Heilung was unlike any other live show I’ve been to, a mystical, otherworldly experience that’s part music concert, part ritual that seeks to connect with the ancient world of northern Europe.
Harry Styles @ Marvel Stadium
I enjoyed the hits, charm and showmanship, but spending a couple of hours in a stadium packed with thousands of delirious screaming girls was a tad too much for this geriatric millennial*.
New Music 01/2023 – ThornBird, Aurora, Mdou Moctar
Solo album from one-third of The Waifs; a newie from my favourite Norwegian forest spirit; electrifying desert blues.
Rina Sawayama @ 170 Russell
Fun start to live music in the new year with a powerhouse gig by a Japanese-British pop star, who by all rights should be the next Lady Gaga.
Dry Cleaning @ Corner Hotel
2022 has been a pretty damn good year for live music, and an excellent gig from this intriguing post-punk band was a great way to cap it off.
Aldous Harding @ Elisabeth Murdoch Hall
I almost missed out on the enigmatic Kiwi singer-songwriter’s Melbourne gig, but in the end her live show made me an even bigger fan of her idiosyncratic take on folk.
New Music 10/2022 – Rosalía, Torres, Nilüfer Yanya
I kinda slowed down on the new music in the past few months, and music in general to be honest, because for some reason I’ve preferred listening to YouTube creators and podcasts lately. However I did find time for a few great releases from this and past years.
