The Festival Diaries: Random Adventures at SXSW 2013.

This year, rather than opt for my traditional Festival Diaries format for SXSW, I went for a more straight forward approach, with a series of reviews on ground at the event. But there was the odd experience that I couldn’t quite elaborate into its own article. So here now are all the leftovers of my…

Theatre Review: The Addams Family (The Broadway Musical) – Capitol Theatre, Sydney (22.03.13)

Turning the 1930’s cartoon strip and 60’s sitcom The Addams Family into a musical was never going to be an easy sell. They are, after all, a family who enjoy the darker side of life; finding general pleasure in pain, death and misery. They’re not exactly the type to sing and dance. Nor is the…

Interview: King Tuff (USA)

Having just played a bunch of shows at SXSW (like everyone else in the music business) psychedelic bluesman King Tuff is heading on his way to Australia for the first time. He is a very chilled kind of bloke, and was in that type of mood when speaking to The AU Review. We just casually…

Album Review: Bob Evans – Familiar Stranger (2013 LP)

Leaving the suburbs behind, Bob Evans’ Familiar Stranger hits a lush, layered note. Cannily on-trend, in touch with all the latest tropes of nostalgic pop, it’s a departure from the acoustic guitar-driven sounds of his so-called suburban trilogy. Like any album, it’s marked by derivation, with many a nod to alumni like The Beatles (as…

SXSW 2013 Live Review: Eagles of Death Metal + Atomic Tom – The Belmont (15.03.13)

With shows like the Sound City Players and Iggy Pop and the Stooges taking my focus at this year’s SXSW, I thought I should probably keep the rock and roll vibes going by checking out one of the finest rock and roll bands in the industry: Eagles of Death Metal. And I wasn’t the only…

SXSW 2013 Live Review: Sound City Players – Stubb's (14.03.13)

Last week, I managed to catch the Sound City Players perform what would be their second last show at the Jimmy Kimmel Show, in which I mentioned I was concerned its experience would soil the anticipated SXSW event. Let it be known that it did nothing of the sort. Opening the concert were The Meat…
