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 …

Album Review: Alex Ventling – ‘Wavemakers’: New Nordic jazz which soothes and fulfils.

John Parry December 30, 2025

The Breakdown An album which resonates fulfilment and allows you to drift within its panorama Particular Recordings Collective – 8.8 Need some cerebral soothing and sustenance then maybe take some time to engage with Trondheim-based jazz musician Alex Ventling’s new album ‘Wavemakers’.

Live Gallery: A Packed Carriageworks Finds Release With Underworld 29.12.2025

Deb Pelser December 29, 2025

Launching Finely Tuned’s THE WORKS at Carriageworks, Underworld deliver an immersive, sweat-soaked set that prioritises collective release over spectacle. Mostly obscured behind towering screens, the duo let the music lead, transforming a packed room into a shared moment of movement, colour and catharsis.

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. When Molchat Doma followed, they scaled their coldwave pulse to theatre size without losing intimacy, transforming the room into something closer to a gothic club night than a concert, all stark lines, strobe-lit movement and immersive atmosphere.

Live Review: Punk Looks Like Loud Women Fest – Eora Land/Sydney, Crowbar 07.12.25

Jess Hutton December 23, 2025

Loud Women Fest isn’t interested in permission or polish. Fiercely DIY and unapologetically women-led, it places femme, trans, non-binary and queer-fronted bands at the centre, not as novelty but as correction. Across punk, shoegaze, pub rock and noise, the day never dipped or diluted. With no barricades, no hierarchy and a constant exchange of gear, sweat and solidarity, the festival functioned as both a celebration and a reminder: this is what punk looks like when community comes first.
