Sydneyside



So Justin Vernon and Bon Iver put on a string of awesome shows last week for Sydney Festival- the highlight for me being a front row seat at their first Speigltent show.

Mercy Arms made a huge amount of noise at the Beach Road last wednesday (Kirin's birthday)- putting in a frantic set heavy on their Kept Low EP and earlier songs.

And then on Friday, TV on the Radio brought the house down with an already legendary post-big-day-out show at the Metro (photos above). New album sounds terrific live, working especially well alongside their first and second album staples.

Fan of the esoteric Brooklynites? be sure to grab this stripped down version of Wolf Like Me from a few years back.
