New Music 11/2023 – PJ Harvey
After a seven-year break from my all-time favourite artist, I feel positively spoiled with a brand new album and comprehensive collection of rarities, demos and other bits and bobs.
Foy Vance @ The Croxton
I had a good time at what is probably my last music concert of 2023, despite the annoying chatterboxes at the bar.
Sudan Archives @ 170 Russell
I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this concert, but Brittney Parks a.k.a. Sudan Archives delivered a fun, energised set of sexy swagger and violin shredding… and even some traditional Irish music.
The Radiohead Project @ Primrose Potter Salon
Sometimes a last-minute decision does pay off! I had a fantastic time at this short but lovely concert that reinvented Radiohead’s music for a jazz quartet with strings.
The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit & The Rings of Power @ Hamer Hall
It’s hard to know how to describe this baffling concert other than a slapdash mix of awkward and sublime. I enjoyed myself in the end, but this wildly uneven production was a very odd fit for such a prestigious venue.
New Music 05/2023 – Neil Young, Beyoncé, Wet Leg
Sometimes you suddenly find yourself getting into the artists you were never all that interested in, and that was the case with Neil Young and Beyoncé for me. Plus, a debut album from one of last year’s most-hyped bands.
MSO: The Music of Hans Zimmer @ Hamer Hall
There’s no such thing as too much Hans Zimmer! I’ve already seen film music maestro’s own show twice, and this week I went to Melbourne Symphony Orchestra’s tribute to some of the most iconic and influential film scores of all time.
Mozart Requiem by Candlelight @ St Paul’s Cathedral
