LIVE REVIEW: Grace Jones @ Enmore Theatre, Sydney (19/04/11)

written by Chris Familton This was dubbed the Hurricane Tour which was kind of strange considering the album of the same name was released 3 years ago.

This was … Continue reading LIVE REVIEW: Grace Jones @ Enmore Theatre, Sydney (19/04/11)

What sets her apart from many in the same market is her live band that makes the performance feel like a group effort, even though she is the undeniable centre of attention. … Continue reading LIVE REVIEW: Electric Empire @ OAF, Sydney (18/03/11)
