Germany's Booka Shade played to a packed Enmore Theatre for Stereosonic's 'Satellite 1.0' show. [more]
Hometown hip hop heroes Bliss N Eso brought an extravaganza to an excitable Enmore Theatre crowd. [more]
Over the last 4 years or so, it is fair to say that Julian Hamilton and Kim Moyes have played many gigs in Sydney. This was a more intimate show - a packed Enmore Theatre the venue - and not surprisingly, the lads did what they do best. [more]
The crowd was a seething mass of salivating anticipation. The grimy streets that bordered the decrepit walls of the old theatre were flowing with a mad crush of humanity, achingly desperate to squeeze inside the doors to quench their thirst. [more]
The Juggernauts salute Sydney farewell with a mix of synthetic space-disco and edgy rock that only they can fuse together such ease. [more]
Coming to Sydney for one night, De La Soul bought out a mixed crowd. Nebulous hair was in full effect with smatterings of Hobo Chic and Agent Orange, Bulldog's rejects, kinky chicks in strappy tops and a coach-load of Ecuadorians. They got a full evening of entertainment. [more]
Whilst I have not been a huge fan of Moby since the "Play" album, I had always wanted to see him live. After having the oppurtunity, I am happy to say that I was not left disappointed. [more]
There has always been something intriguing about Mike Skinner's The Streets project, a combination of colloquialisms, amateurish productions and high school rapping, should combine to produce music that is third rate at best. Although, he always manages to prove otherwise. [more]
Cool by association through her work with both Outkast and The Neptunes, Kelis couldn't be more du jour amongst the skate trainer wearing alternative hip hop crowd, who trade more in baggy pants then bling. [more]
It isn't every day that a Wu Tang Clan member comes to town and Sydney's rap fans were out en masse. [more]
Rock Steady Crew return to Sydney for a much anticipated showcase of old school hip hop and break dancing. [more]
As a live act (and not purely a hip-hop group), they exceeded all expectations, leaving no doubt that they were having a great time and wanted to share their party with Sydney. Sydney, in turn, welcomed them with open arms. [more]
The Jaxx show hits enmore for their BDO sideshow. Part rock, part dance, all energy. The Jaxx live should be experienced by everyone at some point and they will rock the Boiler room to its foundations [more]
I read somewhere that the name of the band is a reference to cult film 'A Clockwork Orange', I'm not sure if this is fact, but it simply highlights how cool this band are. [more]
Nitin's music incorporates the best of both worlds he inhabits - the beauty and tradition of Indian music, with the strength of modern electronic methods. I'm not sure if going to the sideshows of 'Good Vibrations' acts means I have less to see on Saturday, or more to look forward to! [more]
N.E.R.D's blend of pop R&B mixed with power chords and a solid bassline works best on older tracks from their superior debut album. Young, talented and sexy, the night is most definitely Pharrell's, perhaps next time he should with Justin Timberlake as a backing vocalist. [more]
