Some are taken by it's lonesome, hypnotic and earthy charm, while some point to it's predictability as a defining feature of why they will never enjoy it. And then of course there are those who fall somewhere in between.]]> http://watchoutfor.com.au/youri-blow-live-at-revolver-gig-reviews/feed/ 0 http://watchoutfor.com.au/the-kooks-live-at-festival-hall-gig-reviews/ http://watchoutfor.com.au/the-kooks-live-at-festival-hall-gig-reviews/#comments Wed, 11 Jan 2012 23:24:41 +0000 Cassie http://watchoutfor.com.au/?p=12310 I couldn’t have been happier than to spend my first gig of 2012 at Festival Hall with a band that has been a favourite since the release of their first album Inside In/Inside Out. Fans were spread from wall to wall chanting ‘we want Kooks’, welcoming the British rockers to a typical Aussie summer rock show. ]]> http://watchoutfor.com.au/the-kooks-live-at-festival-hall-gig-reviews/feed/ 0 http://watchoutfor.com.au/fleet-foxes-live-at-the-palais-gig-reviews/ http://watchoutfor.com.au/fleet-foxes-live-at-the-palais-gig-reviews/#comments Tue, 10 Jan 2012 02:14:03 +0000 Chris Wood http://watchoutfor.com.au/?p=12290 Fleet Foxes are a band of considerable talent. Yet their greatest strength surely lies in their ability to deflect undesirable focus. To borrow a sporting reference, their musical output is much more the ‘champion team’ than the ‘team of champions’, and this became even more apparent no more than one song into their show at [...]]]> http://watchoutfor.com.au/fleet-foxes-live-at-the-palais-gig-reviews/feed/ 0 http://watchoutfor.com.au/meredith-music-festival-2011-gig-reviews/ http://watchoutfor.com.au/meredith-music-festival-2011-gig-reviews/#comments Wed, 14 Dec 2011 23:59:59 +0000 Watch Out For http://watchoutfor.com.au/?p=12063 The Meredith Music Festival has been and gone, and now it’s time for festival friends to recount fond memories of the Supernatural Amphitheatre. Day one, aside from being the start of the festival, was also the beginning of scepticism from the majority of the festival goers towards commonplace meteorology. The cataclysmic thunderstorms that were a popular call for professional weather types eventuated into [...]]]> http://watchoutfor.com.au/meredith-music-festival-2011-gig-reviews/feed/ 0 http://watchoutfor.com.au/straight-to-you-triple-js-tribute-to-nick-cave-gig-reviews/ http://watchoutfor.com.au/straight-to-you-triple-js-tribute-to-nick-cave-gig-reviews/#comments Wed, 16 Nov 2011 06:40:42 +0000 Chris Wood http://watchoutfor.com.au/?p=11771 This time around it’s all about the much celebrated and revered cannon of Nick Cave. Rising to prominence with The Birthday Party, and since having monumental success with both Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, and more recently with Grinderman, Nick Cave seems to be as creatively charged as he’s ever been. And what better way to celebrate this unfinished career than put together some of Australia’s finest up-and-coming talent? ]]> http://watchoutfor.com.au/straight-to-you-triple-js-tribute-to-nick-cave-gig-reviews/feed/ 0 http://watchoutfor.com.au/bright-eyes-live-at-the-hi-fi-bar-gig-reviews/ http://watchoutfor.com.au/bright-eyes-live-at-the-hi-fi-bar-gig-reviews/#comments Sat, 12 Nov 2011 07:17:43 +0000 Chris Wood http://watchoutfor.com.au/?p=11943 With Bright Eyes he’s taken the role of the folk troubadour and turned it into a popular music cultural identity.

While possessing all the hallmarks of a rough around the edges, rag-tag blues band, they have that genuine attitude of 'I don't give a crap what you think' - and that is, I suppose, what makes them really likable.]]> http://watchoutfor.com.au/the-vasco-era-live-at-the-corner-gig-reviews/feed/ 0 http://watchoutfor.com.au/the-hives-live-at-the-palace-gig-reviews/ http://watchoutfor.com.au/the-hives-live-at-the-palace-gig-reviews/#comments Sat, 13 Aug 2011 02:19:28 +0000 Chris Wood http://watchoutfor.com.au/?p=10940 If you were to compare live bands to game show hosts of yesteryear, you would be hard pressed to find a better comparison to The Hives than John Burgess.
