Festival Review: Fairgrounds Festival – Berry Showgrounds, NSW (02 & 03.12.2016)

December 8, 2016 / Ally Koster

Fairgrounds Festival is a safe haven for those of us who have grown a little older, and perhaps a little tired of your standard summer festival. Taking place two hours south of Sydney in the small picturesque town of Berry, the family-friendly event has rectified its issues of the previous year, delivering an experience that…

Live Review: Client Liaison – Metro Theatre, Sydney (27.05.16)

May 31, 2016 / Ally Koster

When I saw Client Liaison for the first time live at Groovin’ The Moo this past April, I was blown away. The enigmatic frontman Monte Morgan had the crowd eating out of the palm of his hand, solidifying the two-turned-four piece band as the act of the day. With such high standards, I was genuinely…

Festival Review: Groovin’ the Moo – University of Canberra (24.04.16)

April 28, 2016 / Ally Koster

The last time I had the pleasure of having a bit of a groove in the moo was in Maitland, 2012, when the likes of Public Enemy, City and Colour, Kimbra, The Maccabees, Kaiser Chiefs and Andrew WK headlined, amongst a plethora of other guns. Even looking back on the line up now, I wish I could go back…

Live Review: Daughter – Enmore Theatre, Sydney (09.04.16)

April 12, 2016 / Ally Koster

It’s of little debate that indie-folk dreamers Daughter are one talented band. Countless times I have found myself curled up in the foetal position on my bed, their haunting melodies floating through my bedroom. Even when I’m not doing that, that’s the imagery that comes from their delicate music – the crumbling of the self. The woman…

Live Review: Sufjan Stevens – The State Theatre, Sydney (23.02.16)

February 26, 2016 / Ally Koster

For most people here, this isn’t the first time they’ve seen the enigma that is Sufjan Stevens; some – like myself – experienced his soul-crushing live show last year at the Sydney Opera House, others are seasoned veterans, having joined the Sufjan train many moons ago upon his release of highly acclaimed album Seven Swans. Regardless…

Live Review: Chet Faker – Sydney Opera House Forecourt (06.11.15)

November 8, 2015 / Ally Koster

The beard may be gone, but rest assured – Chet Faker is still the king of Australian soul music. On Friday, thousands of fans flocked into the infamous Opera House forecourt for the first show in the new summer series that will welcome both Tame Impala and Florence and the Machine to the prestigious venue….
