Live Review & Gallery: Lost Paradise NYE Festival Delivers on Aussie Summer Tradition – 29.12.25, Glenworth Valley NSW

Jess Hutton January 1, 2026

One of my favourite things about Australia is our festival culture. Remote bush raves, dusty roads, cheesy doof sticks, no reception and championing Australian acts. This year, I got a chance to grab a taster of Lost Paradise Festival in the Central Coast’s Glenworth Valley – a huge festival located in lush bush about 1.5 …

Live Review & Gallery: Molchat Doma, Buzz Kull Bring Coldwave to Enmore Theatre – Gadigal Land/Sydney, 18.12.25

Jess Hutton December 23, 2025

It took only minutes to realise the mistake. Opening for Molchat Doma at the Enmore Theatre, Buzz Kull delivered a darkwave and EBM set stripped of gloss and heavy on momentum, the kind that quietly rewrites your internal gig ledger.
