"We love girls! Why wouldn't we want to make music for them?" However finely attuned Mr Pritchard actually is to the desires of women, a fair number of girls seem to love the Kooks. The crowd at the Palais on Wednesday night was overwhelmingly young and female. There was even a different timbre and pitch to the cheers than I'm accustomed to hearing -- lighter and more piercing -- and the decibels kept rising. It was probably the only concert I've been to where the shrieks of fans did more damage to my eardrums than the music. And Pritchard knew how to work it, reaching out towards the audience as he sang "I'm just trying to love you, girl", causing a palpable flutter of excitement in the room.]]> http://watchoutfor.com.au/the-kooks-live-at-festival-hall-gig-reviews-2/feed/ 0 http://watchoutfor.com.au/besnard-lakes-until-in-excess-imperceptible-ufo-album-reviews/ http://watchoutfor.com.au/besnard-lakes-until-in-excess-imperceptible-ufo-album-reviews/#comments Thu, 09 May 2013 13:36:21 +0000 Annie Toller http://watchoutfor.com.au/?p=14649 Until in Excess, Imperceptible UFO, the fourth album from Montreal's the Besnard Lakes, mixes the slick and sluggish shoegaze of Slowdive with the orchestral dream pop of the mid-60s. It's a logical match, in many respects -- the full, reverb-laden recordings of Phil Spector and the Beach Boys were an important precursor to the escapist noise that came out of Thatcherite Britain. The result, however, can be a little derivative. ]]> http://watchoutfor.com.au/besnard-lakes-until-in-excess-imperceptible-ufo-album-reviews/feed/ 0 http://watchoutfor.com.au/neda-daylight-disguise-album-reviews/ http://watchoutfor.com.au/neda-daylight-disguise-album-reviews/#comments Sun, 05 May 2013 01:32:36 +0000 Annie Toller http://watchoutfor.com.au/?p=14636 For a country musician, Tenielle Neda Muslin's backstory is ideal. Born and raised on a banana plantation in Carnarvon, WA, she moved to Karratha in her teens and got a job driving 30,000 tonne trains with their cargo of iron ore through the Pilbara. After a stint on Australian Idol, where she made it to the top 20 -- despite having her vocal talents dissed by Delta Goodrem -- she went on to win 'Best Performance' at Tamworth in 2010 and was flown to Nashville for writing and recording sessions with local greats.]]> http://watchoutfor.com.au/neda-daylight-disguise-album-reviews/feed/ 0 http://watchoutfor.com.au/eric-clapton-old-sock-album-reviews/ http://watchoutfor.com.au/eric-clapton-old-sock-album-reviews/#comments Sun, 05 May 2013 01:16:30 +0000 Cameron Macintosh Jr http://watchoutfor.com.au/?p=14634 By now, no one would bother questioning Eric Clapton’s place in rock history (and all going well, much more of its future). Old Sock, his 21st album, will do that legacy no harm at all, particularly among fans of his softer-rock leanings. Neither however, is it likely to send quivers of excitement through too many lovers of Clapton’s darker, rockier side.]]> http://watchoutfor.com.au/eric-clapton-old-sock-album-reviews/feed/ 0 http://watchoutfor.com.au/marvels-thor-the-dark-world-chris-hemsworth-natalie-portman-tom-hiddleston-teaser-trailer/ http://watchoutfor.com.au/marvels-thor-the-dark-world-chris-hemsworth-natalie-portman-tom-hiddleston-teaser-trailer/#comments Wed, 24 Apr 2013 08:31:08 +0000 Sean Lynch http://watchoutfor.com.au/?p=14626 Thor 2 continues the adventures of Thor, the Mighty Avenger, as he battles to save Earth... again... and all the Nine Realms... again]]> http://watchoutfor.com.au/marvels-thor-the-dark-world-chris-hemsworth-natalie-portman-tom-hiddleston-teaser-trailer/feed/ 0 http://watchoutfor.com.au/the-love-junkies-new-single-australian-dates-tour-news/ http://watchoutfor.com.au/the-love-junkies-new-single-australian-dates-tour-news/#comments Sat, 13 Apr 2013 07:38:58 +0000 Chris Wood http://watchoutfor.com.au/?p=14620 Not many bands grab national radio airplay, land some major festivals, get props in music bible NME and land their first national tour in massive venues with a band like British India…. all in the space of four months.
