Matt Corby has done it again. Such a great voice and an awesome interpretation of 'Lonely Boy'.
Check it out here!
After just coming across the MTV Unplugged recording below, you can tell that it was indeed just Jared protecting his voice when I saw them live. The vocal performance in this gig is phenomenal! Still one of my favourite rock singers going around at the moment...
Check out their acoustic perfromance of 'Kings and Queens' here:
I was very slightly disappointed by the 30 Seconds To Mars gig which I saw a while back at the Hordern Pavilion. Having thrashed both albums 'Beautiful Lie' and 'This is War', I had high expectations for the live sound of the band. They have such polished sound production on both these albums and knew that it would be very difficult to replicate the sound on stage. I think what disappointed me about the gig is that you could tell that Jared was preserving his voice. But who can blame him after playing what seemed to be the longest tour for an album! They even set a Guinness World Record for the most shows for a single album cycle!
Only recently discovered this tune. Always sceptical of anyone that's been on Australian Idol, however I just can't help but like this song!
Listen to it here:
So I found out a couple of months ago that Sonja Van Hummel (a family friend from primary school) is in a band that's touring heaps and doing really well!
The band is called Tin Sparrow and I went to see them at the Beach Road Hotel yesterday. While it's not the best room for good, clear sound, as a first live experience of the band, I was blown away by the vocal skills of all the band members. Such great harmonies!
I'm looking forward to see them play at the Oxford Art Factory in February, where I know the sound will be a lot easier to grasp and there'll be a more captive audience. (There's too many drunk Bondinites at the Beach Road! haha)
My favourite stand-out song from the gig is probably 'For You'. Again... love the harmonies :)
Check it out here:
So I've been listening to these guys now for quite a while and I've gotta say, they sure know how to write some killer songs.
The Jezabels have such a great sound. They create this big space for their music to play in and the vocals of Hayley Mary are killer. To me, there's a hint of Florence Welch in her voice, demonstrated by Hayley's ability to demonstrate subtlies with what you'd think is a small voice until you hear her impressively 'belt' out some big notes.
If you've got some spare earspace, be sure to check them out!
'City Girl' is my favourite song at the moment. Have a listen here:
