Jordie Lane @ Northcote Social Club

In an emerald green suede blazer and polka-dot shirt, tonight Jordie Lane was in high definition. The first of three shows in his hometown of Northcote was characterised by clarity. Lane’s very audible in between song banter was casually conversational and humourous, particularly his recount of seeking a sandwich in LA only finding himself thrust into an AA meeting, where he had no choice but to...

Jordie Lane

A raconteur at heart, Jordie Lane understands the key to songwriting is to keep moving. The singer-songwriter’s rustic and charming folk-rock also has roots in American music, which has lead to multiple trips abroad. Yet as important as folk, rock and country have been to his upbringing, Lane insists it is the people he’s met since he began writing and travelling who have had the greatest... Read More
Jordie Lane : Fool For Love
0 Comments. 553 Views. Posted 17 Oct 2012 @ 11:42am.
There’s something very Tyrannosaurus Rex (easing into T Rex’s glam tendencies) about Fool For Love. Reaching outward from a folky troubadour core, Jordie Lane grins in the eye of a psychedelic storm whipping up some I Am The Walrus-style choral shrieks. A bit overwhelming at times, but still ultimately accomplished. Read More

Grievous Angel: The Legend Of Gram Parsons
0 Comments. 935 Views. Posted 11 Jul 2012 @ 9:48am.
Gram Parsons’ life is a tabloid example of talent, excess, tragedy and missed opportunities. Born into a successful, if troubled musical family, at the age of 12 Parsons lost his father to suicide; five years later his alcoholic mother was also dead. Parsons became heir to his parents’ fortune, and dipped regularly into his trust fund account to finance his increasingly excessive lifestyle. As a... Read More
Between The Bays @ Penbuck, Moorooduc
0 Comments. 898 Views. Posted 20 Mar 2012 @ 8:21am.
Between The Bays is a true family festival, with a focus on entertaining and distracting under-18s so their folks can stretch out, exhale and enjoy a delicious chocolatey Red Hill Scotch Ale. It would also mark the first time I’ve taken along my crotch fruit to a rock show. However, I underestimated how hard it can be to chase a kid around all afternoon in the heat, take proper notes and... Read More

A farewell within a farewell. That’s what will be happening when Jordie Lane plays his final show in Melbourne before he heads off, like so many of his Australian contemporaries, to the musical hotbed that is the US of A. The show, which will be taking place at The East Brunswick Club will act not only as a farewell for Lane but also for the venue itself as not long after it will be closing its... Read More
Jordie Lane : Blood Thinner

When Melbourne singer-songwriter Jordie Lane sings "I'm going back, back in time / To where hearts were true, true and kind" with such yearning in Diamond Ring, we follow him there. Transformative experiences travelling through the Californian desert and staying in Room 8 of the Joshua Tree Inn (where his hero Gram Parsons died) have instilled Lane's sophomore album, Blood Thinner, with a...

Jordie Lane, Friday 12 August, The Corner Hotel
0 Comments. 1,745 Views. Posted 16 Aug 2011 @ 11:35am.
Tonight's bill of three contemplative, young, gents all performing their own brand of folk infused country and blues-based ballads was never going to put the security staff to the test. The only hostility on the dance floor was an over-zealous air conditioner.   Little John sure warmed the crowd's hearts though. John Dickson and his exceptional bandmates trade in tender sentiments, using... Read More
