Well, this is now something I can cross off the bucket list. A great show, and an excellent performance. It seemed to take Mr Nelson a while to get the crowd going, and it wasn’t until Raspberry Beret that the …

After a fairly late night on Thursday from the Explosions In The Sky gig, I decided to hit the snooze button a few times before getting underway to Meredith 2011. We picked up our friends who were riding with us …

Explosions In The Sky @ The Forum, Melbourne (Thu 8 Dec 2011)

This was a show I’d been looking forward to for some time.  When the Meredith lineup was released, and Explosions In The Sky were on it, I was a little more than excited. The prospect of a sideshow was even …
