by Anna-Maria Megalogenis

Billed as the 30th Anniversary tour of Foolish, Superchunk’s fourth and arguably best studio album, was written after the breakup of founding members, Mac McCaughan and Laura Ballance. Foolish was the melodic punk soundtrack for those older fans at the Corner tonight, growing up in the 90’s.

St Vincent, Lotte Gallagher, The Palais 25.11.24 #Review

by Anna-Maria Megalogenis

St Vincent last toured Australia in 2018, and this exclusive Victorian show is part of the Always Live initiative, supported by the Victorian Government and Frontier Touring. From her humble beginnings in 2003 releasing an EP with Berklee students, to 2004 as guitarist with The Polyphonic Spree, through to her grammy award winning album Daddy’s Home in 2022, and her countless collaborations and performances with the musical cognoscenti, such as Paul McCartney and David Byrne, St Vincent is revered by musicians and fans alike.

Jesus and Mary Chain by Mary Boukouvalas_9

Jesus and Mary Chain, 4th August,2024 The Forum #REVIEW

by Anna-Maria Megalogenis

When the Jesus and Mary Chain played their first gigs forty years ago, they played with their backs to the audience, refused to talk to them and played for a total of 20 minutes. Fast forward forty years later to 2024, their disdain for their audience has dissipated and shows last considerably longer, much to our relief.

The Damned + The Hard Ons, Northcote Theatre, Friday 22nd March 2024

by Anna-Maria Megalogenis

The Damned released the first ever UK punk single, “New Rose” off album Damned, Damned, Damned, in 1976, and were often overshadowed by their English punk counterparts. Now in their late sixties and still touring world-wide, featuring the original line up of Dave Vanian, Captain Sensible, Rat Scabies and Paul Gray, they are the ones having the last laugh and have left their old rivals for dead, in certain respects, quite literally!

Jack Dee At Melbourne Town Hall REVIEW

by Anna-Maria Megalogenis

Jack Dee is a misery guts and proud of it. He wears the whinging, grumpy, Englishman tag to a tee; it bodes him well. Dee has made talking about banal daily routine an art form and centres on the worst week of his life, which started with a blown light bulb in his garage.

SXSW Day 4 With Flaming Lips And Billy Bragg

by Anna-Maria Megalogenis

Day 4 and slight delirium sets in. The SXSW schedule that you adhered to on Day 1 has gone out the window and openness to suggestion has taken its place. Feet ache from walking from one venue to the next and egos are both bruised and massaged by the ballot system.

by Anna-Maria Megalogenis

Nothing prepares you for the overwhelming assault on the senses that is SXSW. It’s a gargantuan mix of creative energy, with a multitude of bands playing at every conceivable location such as garages and purpose built pop up stages, along with the more traditional established venues.

Russell Brand brings the house and some pants down at Rod Laver on his “I am a Walrus” tour

by Anna-Maria Megalogenis

If ever there was a comedian who epitomises bacchanalian hedonism with a faux messianic complex, and self professed love of women or “night wives”, it would be Russell Brand. Labels aside, Russell is articulate, funny and self deprecating and “I am a Walrus” is testament to this as we shall see later.
