This role sees McCarthy in a role she excels at: a sassy, sexy, powerful woman with some intelligently funny dialogue and some serious power dressing.
Lyrical heroes of kitchen sink drama, both Miles Kane and Alex Turner have crafted another beautiful album that speaks to an audience of heartbroken and lamenting listeners.
It may have taken Stiff Little Fingers four decades to come to Adelaide and play a full set but there were obviously a lot of people extremely happy that they finally made the trip.
Dallas Green may use City and Colour to showcase his knack for constructing a gentle, affecting ballad, but his live show draws a large and very enthusiastic audience. The Monday night show at Thebarton Theatre was packed with exuberant fans ready to end the Easter weekend on a high.

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.
‘A Bigger Splash’ attempts to tell us we have become so consumed with our own internal emotional dialogues that we have lost the ability to effectively communicate in any broader forum.
The band left a few hundred pre-middle aged people feeling not quite so old and maybe just a little slightly reborn.
