There were seemingly no boundaries to their healthy embrace … Continue reading LIVE REVIEW: The Adults @ OAF, Sydney (01/09/11)

Playing to backing tracks courtesy of her iPod and filling in the gaps with keyboard and guitar she did however draw the audience further into her simple yet warmly enveloping songs. There is a real melodic richness … Continue reading LIVE REVIEW: Pinback @ Manning Bar, Sydney 22/08/11
