Joined my fellow Good Call Live co-editor Natalie Blacklock at New Farm Cinema tonight for the debut screening of the Jebediah - Are We OK? Music doco by Arlo Dean Cook.

This is an absolute must for fans of the band or Aussie music in general. The documentary is an incredibly vulnerable insight into the bands journey, their joy for what they do, their music and the inspiring love and respect they have for each other.
Kevin Mitchell was there for a Q & A afterwards making the night even more personal.
Opens in cinemas this week. Treat yourselves to a night out and some popcorn. 🍿

Always a good stop at Death Before Decaf at New Farm as well. 🤘☕️

Saw my 12th The Dreggs gig in 8 years last night with one of my oldest friends seeing them for the first time.
From the first time I saw them on the tiny locals stage at Caloundra Music Festival, with about 50 people watching, to a fully packed Fortitude Music Hall with thousands of fans singing along. I knew from day 1 these guys had something special.

I am so incredibly happy to see these independant local boys prove that hard work and loving what you do is key.

They have evolved but so have their fans.

This country has some of the best bands I have heard. And I hear them because I listen for them, I go out and watch them live. And I have the dream job of writing about them for Good Call Live.
If you loved the '00s pop-punk/emo/alt rock/garage punk days as much as I did/do then please check out my latest review. Four Aussie alternative bands, from four states, all with their own influences and homegrown take of a time when music meant something to so many.
Get curious! Have a listen to each band on your streaming app and tell me which band you loved the most and why. 😁🤘
Enjoy!!!

On Sunday night Tomcat hosted the final night of the joint effort co-headlining tour from four of the country's most exciting local emo/punk/alternative bands - Talk Heavy, Bukowski, Great Job and Oscar the Wild. Four bands from four states joined together to release four tracks for 'An Open Gate Split EP’.

We sent local music lover Music Maven Tracey Moyle out to capture the music, the fun, the chaos and the crowd for this final night of the tour.

Check out their new EP Starve. They are bringing back my best music days.

The memories I have of Eskimo Joe's music throughout my 20's and beyond is something you can't describe. Their songs seem to be like some crazy time vortex that takes you back to exactly where you were at the time of whatever song you're hearing was most prominent in your life.
Friday night I saw them celebrate their iconic album 'Black Fingernails Red W**e' at The Triffid and once again the memories made me smile.
My review is up now on Good Call Live's website. You can find your way there through the below. 🫶🤘🇦🇺

LIVE REVIEW: Friday night brought generations together to celebrate one of the most defining albums in Australian music throughout the 2000s 'Black Fingernails, Red W**e'. Eskimo Joe brought their iconic album to a sold out crowd at The Triffid celebrating two decades since it's 2006 release.

Fellow legend Alex Lloyd opened the hearts of the crowd before the main show and our Music Maven Tracey Moyle was there to capture the stories shared, and the songs sung and relay back to everyone to relive again and again.

Head on over to our website to read her review and don't forget to check out Paul Blackburn's (Wysiwyg Pix) full gallery while you're there - link in comments 👇👇👇
