  • Deb Pelser
Genesis Owusu has released ‘STAMPEDE’, a synth-punk rallying cry filmed in Accra and rooted in the power of community.

Live Gallery: Morcheeba Mark 30 Years of Trip-Hop Elegance at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre 19.02.2026

  • February 19, 2026
  • Deb Pelser
At Sydney’s Enmore Theatre, Morcheeba celebrated 30 years of genre-blurring music. Supported by James Lavelle’s one-off UNKLE SOUNDS show, the night felt less like nostalgia and more like a reminder of how quietly influential trip-hop remains.

  • Deb Pelser
Marlon Williams will take an extended break from touring following a final run of Australian shows this March with The Yarra Benders. After two intense years making Te Whare Tīwekaweka and filming the documentary Ngā Ao E Rua – Two Worlds, Williams has invoked the concept of rāhui — a temporary period of restriction and recovery — as he steps back from live performance, at least for now.

Live Gallery: From Putney to Newtown: Transvision Vamp Reignite an Australian Love Affair 17.02.2026

  • February 17, 2026
  • Deb Pelser
At Sydney’s Enmore Theatre, Transvision Vamp don’t simply revisit the late 80s, they detonate it. Wendy James returns to Australia armed with “Baby I Don’t Care”, “I Want Your Love” and a life story that threads through Mick Jones, Lenny Kaye and the New York underground. The result is less nostalgia trip, more living pop history played at full volume.
