Reviews

Dancehouse – DOCUMENT

Roger Nelson reviews Sandra Parker's DOCUMENT at the Dancehouse.

Red Stitch – My Romantic History

Red Stitch presents a wonderfully heartwarming play about failed relationships, exes and one-night stands...you know what it's all about it...

Owls of the Swamp – Go With the River

Peter Uhlenbruch’s music is easily recognizable by its folky mellow vocals with plenty of acoustic instrumentals. His new album “Go with the river” is a perfect representation of his style and each track offers another layer with guest appearances from a number of artists.

Wagons – Rumble, Shake & Tumble

I know country is not the most popular of genres in a city like Melbourne, that can sometimes be a bit too hip for its own good. But Wagons are a true testament to Melbourne's ability to field bands that defy the confines of their genre.

Lowrider – Corner Hotel 21/05/11

Good stuff DOES come out of Adelaide: wine, their one football team (Port, like Collingwood, don't count), The Hilltop Hoods AND Lowrider! We jumped around at their Melbourne gig, last night at The Corner Hotel.
