With hits such as Inside of Love to their name and this year... Read More

I'm sure a large number of you out there are still licking your wounds after missing out on tickets to the spectacular that will be this year's Splendour in the Grass. I know this, because I am one of them. Goddamnit.

Though we're not even halfway through the year, Melbourne trio The Vasco Era have announced their last shows for 2012.

Core- April 25 Dear Inexperienced Security Staffers Assigned to Various Venues When Bands of the Punk/Hardcore Persuasion Are Headlining, I hope this letter finds you well, and that it does not long distract you from lifting heavy things before your beaming reflection. I would like to suggest a couple points of basic etiquette that are expected from you at a show. Though a security expert I may... Read More
Grouplove, Wednesday January 4, The Corner Hotel
0 Comments. 1,066 Views. Posted 24 Jan 2012 @ 2:46pm.
  Undercolours staged a flaccid, unadventurous set, effectively typifying the fate of your average support act - that is to say, while there was nothing truly objectionable about the band, that may have been the problem precisely. Undercolours’ complacent Triple M rock repertoire failed to pack much of a punch, any lasting impressions eluding the Corner crowd. Their set, while accomplished... Read More

Let’s wind up the year shall we?  BEST ALBUM: Balance And Composure – Separation – The young Pennsylvanians delivered on all expectations both with new album and Australian tour. Bravo. The Smith Street Band – No One Gets Lost Anymore – Happily one of the best Aussie albums in recent memory. Also one of the best live bands doing the rounds. Go see ‘em. Hey Rosetta! – Seeds –...

C.W. Stoneking, Friday Dec 2, The Corner Hotel
0 Comments. 1,460 Views. Posted 13 Dec 2011 @ 2:41pm.
Drug-addled pygmies, clairvoyants, ventriloquist teachers, hoodoo doctors, hoodoo charms, sea lice, cemeteries, squatters on a dildo farm and predictions of death in an eight-sided room. A Canadian groom disappearing in downtown New Orleans only to be found busking in a lemon-yellow see-through dress while wearing no underwear. Thwarting off a fellow sailor with a banjo while shipwrecked on... Read More

So I hear along a grapevine, a twisted, mangled mess of good intentions and miscommunications probably, that a well-known hardcore band who recently employed a new singer, made the dude sign a contractual agreement that insisted that he do so many pit calls and shout outs per live set. First it seemed completely implausible but the more I thought about it, the more likely it seemed. If bands are... Read More
Core - punk, ska, hardcore with Emily Kelly
0 Comments. 2,670 Views. Posted 7 Jun 2011 @ 10:27am.
So friends and I got to arguing about what makes a good live show. And apart from all the intricacies of being in a room with a hundred sweaty, over-stimulated strangers, when it comes to the actual band on stage, there’s something to be said for energy. I see local bands every week, all of varying status and talent, but I’ll be damned if the one sure fire way to send me shuffling awkwardly... Read More

Townsville band The Middle East will be touring Australia this June with their soon-to-be-released album I Want That You Are Always Happy.  The length of the album's title may reflect the time it took for the band to release the album, since their last EP The Recordings of The Middle East in 2009, which featured the songs Black Death 1349, Land of the Bloody Unknown and Jesus Came To My...

Perth’s purveyors of punk-rock, Jebediah, have sold out their Melbourne show at The Corner Hotel on Friday May 6 and have immediately added a second show to The Corner Hotel’s calendar on Thursday May 5.   Jebediah’s single, She’s Like A Comet, is receiving some serious airplay all over the country, so it’s little wonder this tour is selling fast. For those... Read More
Alpine
0 Comments. 2,545 Views. Posted 22 Feb 2011 @ 11:45pm.
With its elevating and eerily mystical trajectory, Alpine's musical pilgrimage seems symbolically attuned to their Swiss-inspired name. "I think it really suits the direction that we're heading," vocalist Lou James ponders, "and the name has a lovely feel - there's a sense of just getting lost and I think that's what we're trying to convey. The dreamy soundscape is... Read More

If you like your ladies in seamed stockings and rolled hair, your men with pomade and snarls, your brass big and juicy and your dance moved all swinging and swung, Royal Crown Revue are probably on your radar. Most popularly known as the band who soundtracked that terrifying/great movie The Mask , Royal Crown Revue are back and ready to rock ‘n’ roll again.  ... Read More
Future Of The Left Live at The Corner Hotel
0 Comments. 3,382 Views. Posted 20 Jan 2011 @ 11:10am.
With a new line-up, new songs and a new desire to keep the “non-rock” parts of gigging to a minimum, Future Of The Left 2.0 are setting a new precedent. This is a professional fucking rock show, my friends. No flashy lights, no showing off, only a little bit of banter during “enforced gaps in the set (oxygen consolidation/guitar changes)” and a whole lot of nothing... Read More
Built To Spilt and The Smallgoods Live at The Corner Hotel

There was a time many years ago when New Year’s celebrations meant buying a couple of slabs, a tray of Coles sausages and waking up in the front yard of a friend’s parents house half-way through the first day of the new year. These days, things have moved on, and the entertainment spark of New Year’s Eve is as powerful as a packet of sparklers suffering from rising damp.... Read More
The Jezabels To Play In April

After completely selling out all eleven dates on their national Dark Storm tour in November 2010, performing to packed out tents at The Falls Music and Arts Festival and Peats Ridge over the New Years period, and seeing their latest EP Dark Storm wind up in the Top 10 iTunes charts all around the world, you'd think the Jezabels would be pretty darn happy with things right now.   And you'd...

Kaki King Live at The Corner Hotel
0 Comments. 809 Views. Posted 20 Jan 2011 @ 11:23am.
Wow.   Maybe some fans have been party to a gradual transition between the Kaki King I last saw in late '07 and now. But for me, the juxtaposition could scarcely have been more stark. Gone was the shy, bespectacled and introverted performer I knew, and in its place was a live wire, feeding off the audience's energy and jumping like a Masai – a consequence, one could guess, of...

What’s your name then? Oh. And the name of your band… “Samuel, and my band is called The Paper Kites.”   And what do you do? “I play a bit of banjo, a bit of guitar and do a bit of singing.”   When did you start doing that? “I don’t think there’s a particular defining moment when you start singing; you sort of just grow up with it...

If you haven’t heard The Morning Benders’ astonishing second album yet, put down this fine publication and go score yourself a copy any which way you can.

Chris Owens Is Just One Of The Girls
0 Comments. 2,475 Views. Posted 20 Jan 2011 @ 11:23am.
Chris Owens of Girls is so chilled on the phone that our conversation meanders along at quite a leisurely pace. With pauses, sighs and, let’s say, ‘efficient’ answers, Chris doesn’t sound overly excited about his new EP, Broken Dreams Club . But he’s not that excitable.   He does have some broken dreams to talk... Read More
Jeff Martin and Terepai Richmond Live at The Corner Hotel
0 Comments. 2,599 Views. Posted 20 Jan 2011 @ 11:20am.
I haven’t seen Jeff Martin play since the days of The Tea Party, which disbanded most acrimoniously in 2005. I have no idea why I stayed away so long. Perhaps it was because The Tea Party were so brilliant that I was afraid Jeff couldn’t ‘do the do’ without the other two members? Whatever the answer might be, I’m sure glad I headed to The Corner to... Read More
