Ok, so it’s been awhile since I’ve written a blog post. More than a month in fact! I find solice in the knowledge no one actually reads my rants, but still, if I don’t make the time to express myself, .. well, I’m sure something bad may happen.

What’s been happening? Queens of the Stone Age baby - that was the highlight of March. Those boys rocked the Arena on the 27th I seem to recall… I’d seen Black Rebel Motorcycle Club there earlier in the year, and it was the LOUDEST show I’ve ever been to. I was hurting for days afterwards. So this time I was prepared - feeling every day of my 31 years, I had earplugs in my pocket, you know, just in case. Luckily, the rock was just the right volume and I crowd-surfed my way to rock n roll heaven.

Also, I made a fine Brisbane live music discovery was made just yesterday. If you like your music a little sophisticated, getting drunk at the Powerhouse museum sunday session while listening to a Conservatorium of Music band classy the place up is a good way to start. Jokes aside, it never ceases to amaze me the depth of musical talent in this town. Definitely worth a look see.

One more thing - another unsigned Brisbane talent, Madeleine Paige, has her EP launch at the Globe Theatre this Thursday. Your intrepid reporter will be there; so should you!
