LIVE REVIEW: Stonefield @ OAF, Sydney 22/09/11

written by Chris Familton Glass Towers have been steadily emerging this year as one of the more interesting young bands to watch. Down from Byron Bay they played a set that showed that touring is allowing them to relax more into their music without exhibiting some of the self consciousness that marked earlier shows.

The LP gets released at the end of October but today we have the first full length track The View. It reminds me a bit of Bowie’s dalliance with Tin Machine in parts and heard as a whole track it sounds way better than the impression the 30 second teaser gave us last week.

REVIEW: Nirvana | Live At The Paramount

Just got back from a screening of this as part of the celebrations for the 20th anniversary of the release of Nirvana’s Nevermind. It was definitely worth seeing it in the cinema to get that ‘in your face’ volume which is kind of essential for music like this. One of things that separates this concert film from others of the band is that it is the only … Continue reading REVIEW: Nirvana | Live At The Paramount
