It was a rather brilliant return to the nineties with a very special line-up of some of the most engaging Australian indie bands for the Spring Loaded Festival held at Wollongong University.

Live Review: Spin Off Festival, Adelaide Showground, 23.07.2022
The return of Spin Off Festival in Adelaide was huge after having to cancel and reschedule several times since 2019. The huge line-up included acts coming over from the Splendour in the Grass Festival in Byron Bay, which meant that tickets sold out instantly. If you were lucky enough to get your hands on this …

Live: Confidence Man/A. Swayze and the Ghosts/King Stingray – Dark Mofo Festival 2021
I’m not sure I can remember such a brilliant triple line up in one night without attending a full blown musical festival. Three bands just about removed the roof of the Odeon Theatre in Hobart and I left with a rictus grin I couldn’t remove for hours. Actually, it’s still there. Confidence Man and A. …
