Last Wednesday night The Upside News experienced Randy Hansen’s Hendrix Revolution show at the Thebarton Theatre in Adelaide. Check out our photo gallery of Hansen’s charismatic performance.
The world can never again experience Jimi Hendrix in live performance, but Randy Hansen is the next best thing.
The Cat Empire have been touring flat out this year and will be returning to Adelaide on May 26 to play Thebarton Theatre.
Gang of Youths are the real deal. In an era of producers and manufactured music it’s great to see a band who clearly enjoy making music together and who do it so damn well.
As a band, Cold War Kids don’t verbally engage much during a show, but they do have a Nick Cave-like energy as they prowl the stage, connecting with each other and the audience through demeanour and a commitment to performance.
It’s a two stage festival. Downstairs is beach themed – we’re going to put a lot of sand in the venue and make it look like a beach town. Then upstairs, we have a treehouse with a Lost Boys/Peter Pan theme. It’s like a big cubby house.
All the ingredients that have yielded Cold Chisel’s iconic status in Australian music were on display as they rocked the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on Tuesday night, a performance that proved, even into the band’s fifth decade, they remain at the top of their game.
The Basics lived up to their name in a stripped down, intimate gig at the Grace Emily on Tuesday night; it was a thrilling, no-frills display of honest rock’n’roll.
The paring of The BellRays and Dallas Frasca was an inspired choice. Both acts have a take-no-prisoners approach to rock’n’roll, complete with charismatic front-women who leave you with no choice but to engage in the live experience.
