[Gig Reviews] Emma Louise; Chvrches; Gold Fields; Glass Towers
Emma Louise, The Corner, Friday 10th May.
Good show. Have only had limited exposure to her stuff, I was a bit shakey after the first couple of songs, given that they sounded nothing like the few songs of hers that I've heard (and liked). Thought it was of those "I've turned up to a show but she's nothing like I thought she would be like" moments, but turned out to be all good. She punched out her made-famous-by-like-a-version cover of Alt-J's 'Tesselate' which the crowd lapped up, which was a little surprising as I haven't seen very many (any?) bands do that before. Kept rolling through her tracks from there, some very decent tunes. Great musician, she has a bit of dreamy vibe to her songs and you can tell they mean a lot to her as they all tell a story. Would see again.
Gold Fields, The Corner, Saturday 13th July.
These guys were awesome. The lads from Ballarat smashed it. The crowd was definitely pumped for this, I think mainly because of the reputation of this crew being great performers. Showing up with two drummers was a definite plus, you could really feel the beat throughout the show. Great DJ's as well, they dropped 'Born Slippy' halfway through the set, which everyone went nuts to. Kept the crowd dancing from there till the end of the set, 10/10 would see again.
Chvrches, The Corner, Monday 5th August.
As soon as this show was announced I was all over it - mainly because of my love of this Scottish trio's song 'The Mother We Share'. Didn't disappoint, lot of energy, and continuing a recent trend, I fell in love with the cute lead singer during the gig. Amazing pipes, good vibe, would definitely see again. I think these guys are going to be big.
Glass Towers, The Toff in Town, Saturday 17th August.
Young band, some great music, but I just didn't like the cut of the lead singer's jib. Not sure if it's just me being citiest or not (he's from Sydney).
