Three nights in the pit with The Used and I’m still riding the high. Three albums, three totally different feels—cathartic chaos, nostalgic singalongs, raw confessionals. Mosh pits like storm fronts up front, softer moments out back, and in the middle Bert on his knees, singing to his daughters. Each night the crowd shifted—day-one diehards shoulder-to-shoulder with first-timers who left true believers. That’s the magic of live music: same band, new story every night. Gallery in bio. Big thanks to the fantastic supports Hands Like Houses and Hevenshe.

Had the pleasure of photographing the stunning and multi-talented in Sydney’s CBD — making the most of that beautiful natural light and a bit of urban grit.

Not only is she Miss Lebanon Australia, but she’s also a genuine soul with a killer personality and serious musical chops.

We talked about the possibility of future collabs — hopefully next time behind the mic instead of just the lens. Can’t wait to capture her in her element on stage.

Big thanks, Lil T — you made my job way too easy.

Introduced by a throwback Top of the Pops clip, Roachford strolled on stage sharp in a white suit, looking like he’d just stepped out of a smoky Soho jazz bar. The moment he opened with The Doctor, that smooth, soulful tone filled the room — rich as a Barossa red. “That’s your lot,” he joked after the opener, feigning a walk-off to a wave of laughter.

From there, it was a masterclass in connection. During The Way I Feel, the audience echoed his every line in full voice. “It’s been 21 years,” Roachford said later, “but it’s so worth the journey.” You believed him. Inviting friends Jimmy Barnes and KT Tunstall in the encore to share vocal duties - it was a truly special night

“I’ve never seen anything like it.”

There are concerts. There are experiences. And then there are rare, transcendent moments when sound becomes something else entirely — something you feel in your chest, your skin, and your soul. Sigur Rós, in a three-night partnership with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra as part of Vivid LIVE, delivered one of those moments. A performance so immersive, so elemental, it felt like slipping through a portal — into light, into memory, into something that barely makes sense but absolutely feels true.

Beards, Bourbon & b-b-b-b-b-b-Bad to the Bone. 🌹 on the same fantastic bill for

On a golden autumn Saturday in the heart of the Hunter Valley, 15,000 punters swarmed Roche Estate for a day-long masterclass in classic rock. It was a turnout for the ages — a crowd that spanned decades, dress codes, and celebrations. Bucks parties, hen nights, 50ths, even an 80th birthday. And the hats? Cowboy, Akubra, trucker, tricorn, top — you name it, someone rocked it.There was just something in the air — something louder than nostalgia and tastier than the local Shiraz. This wasn’t just another tour stop. It was a proper gathering of the faithful, ready for an all-day sonic bender.

The Hunter’s finest Shiraz flowed, and somewhere, a single amp buzzed gently into the night. As the crowd began to filter out, two mates were overheard near the photo pit, still grinning: “That wasn’t just a gig, mate — that was a pilgrimage.”

A Legacy Forged in Session Royalty

Toto didn’t emerge like most bands. They were born in the studios—crafted by the very musicians who played on albums by Steely Dan, Boz Scaggs, and yes, much of Michael Jackson’s Thriller. They were the guys behind the curtain… until they stepped forward and changed the game with pristine musicianship and genre-blurring anthems. More than four decades later, they’re still supplying the love—and the groove.

There’s tight… and then there’s Toto. From the opening bars of Child’s Anthem, it was clear this was not a band riding the wave of past glories—they were here to play. With a simple black backdrop adorned with Earth, the Dogz of Oz sword emblem, and the band’s name in bold type, the stage setup was refreshingly minimalist. No smoke and mirrors—just decades of world-class musicianship, front and centre.

Three songs in, Rosanna hit—and the room took off. That groove. That impossible-to-fake shuffle. The rhythm section locked in so tightly, it felt like the auditorium itself was swaying. The audience rose to its feet, hands clapping in unison, caught up in a masterclass of feel, swing, and energy.

And that’s just it—Toto isn’t a band of has-beens. They’re still the go-to guys. You might not know it, but you’ve likely heard these musicians more times than you realise. That slick guitar on Thriller? That’s Lukather. Those smooth keys on I Keep Forgettin’? That’s Greg Phillinganes. That soaring Disney vocal from The Lion King? Joseph Williams, tight drums on Taylor Swift’s albums? - that’s Shannon Forrest.

Toto has always been a who’s who of musical heavyweights—and this tour continues that tradition, blending old friends and new faces into one seamless, electrifying unit.

Outside, it was a warm Sydney evening.   Inside?   It was blazing.

At 73, Christopher Cross might have moved a little more gently across the stage, but his voice—and sense of humour—were both in fine form. “It’s great to be here. It’s great to be anywhere,” he quipped, channeling Keith Richards to a knowing ripple of laughter across the ICC Theatre.

Backed by a band that was equal parts polished and playful (including three backing vocalists in vibrant pink dresses), Cross stood amid a semi-circle of guitars, amps, and nostalgia. His set flowed seamlessly from early hits like ‘All Right’ and ‘Never Be the Same’ into a long, delicate piano-led ‘Sailing', met with roaring applause as the crowd recognised the intro.

Between songs, he joked about rock stardom, referencing a fan shouting “I love you, Chris!”—to which he grinned and replied, “Well, love is never wrong, mate.” The crowd adored him. He also reminded the audience of the deep connections between his music and Toto’s, particularly with ‘Arthur’s Theme’, for which the Toto band members played on the original recording.

By the time ‘Ride Like the Wind’ closed his set, Cross had set the perfect tone for the night: timeless, heartfelt, and warm as a summer breeze.

No More Heroes? Think Again – The Stranglers Command Enmore Theatre

The Stranglers – Fifty Years In Black Anniversary Tour 2025

Enmore Theatre, Newtown – March 19, 2025

After half a century of snarling basslines, ominous synths, and anthemic punk energy, The Stranglers stormed into the Enmore Theatre for a night that proved they’re still as vital as ever. With a loyal following spanning generations, the crowd packed into the Sydney venue, brimming with anticipation for a band that has defied the odds, outlasted its peers, and maintained a presence both powerful and menacing.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5 – A triumphant celebration of The Stranglers’ past, present, and unbreakable legacy.)

Kasabian – Pure Carnage, Pure Euphoria

From the very first moment, it was clear Sydney was in for an absolute riot. With no foldback monitors cluttering the stage, Serge Pizzorno had total freedom to dominate the space, bounding across the floor with a relentless energy that never let up. “There’ll be no f***ing about tonight, Sydney!” he roared—and he wasn’t lying.

Right from the outset, Serge demanded a mosh pit, and the crowd was more than happy to oblige. Drinks flew, voices soared, and the Enmore became a swirling mass of movement. With a setlist built for carnage, there was barely a moment to catch breath. “Stevie” and “Hell of It” saw Serge charging into the mosh pit, microphone in hand, feeding off the insanity around him. “Treat” pushed the energy into overdrive—only for the band to drop Faithless’ “Insomnia” straight into the mix, igniting the venue into total chaos. “Empire” turned into a tribal, hypnotic explosion, with Serge orchestrating the entire Enmore to get low before launching back into an eruption of bouncing bodies and swirling pits.

As the band exited the stage, the crowd refused to let them go, with deafening chants of “One more song!” echoing through the Enmore. Kasabian didn’t disappoint. Their encore was pure perfection. “LSF” started slow and acoustic, only to build into a euphoric explosion of sound. At its peak, Serge appeared up in the Enmore’s balcony, looking down on the mosh pit losing their minds below him. Finally, “Fire” brought the house down—literally. The entire venue bounced as one, with the chorus ringing out long after the band had put down their instruments. Even when Kasabian had left the stage, the crowd kept chanting “Fire”—rumor has it, they’re still chanting now. Andy Kershaw for

Supporting Kasabian at the Enmore, Blossoms brought the cool, vintage charm. Their retro aesthetic and effortless swagger set them apart immediately, with the drummer sporting a cheeky “I ❤️ Sydney” t-shirt that only added to their laid-back but polished presence. Their sound was a dreamy fusion of indie-pop hooks, rich harmonies, and synth-driven melodies, and from the moment they kicked off, the crowd was locked in.

Their nine-song set was filled with fan-favorites, but it was “Gary” that truly stole the show. Inspired by the bizarre real-life tale of a fibreglass gorilla stolen from a Scottish garden centre, the track’s infectious melody and anthemic harmonies made it an instant crowd-pleaser. Other highlights included “Charlemagne,” “Your Girlfriend,” and “Honey Sweet,” all of which had the Enmore singing along in full voice. Blossoms proved to be the perfect bridge between the raw energy of the opening act and the sheer chaos about to unfold with Kasabian. Andy Kershaw for
