Band Together – The Gig Chronicles of Alyce & James

  Band Together – The Gig Chronicles of Alyce & James   “Because great music has no age limit.”   Welcome to Band Together! We’re Alyce and James, a married couple in our late 30s and proud parents of three. Music has always been a big part of our lives—especially live music. For a while, gigs were few and far between while juggling family life, but at the start of 2025 we made a New Year’s resolution: say yes to gigs. And we did! From old favourites to rising stars and even overseas acts, we saw 42 live performances in one year. It was incredible—and it reminded us that live music isn’t just for the young. Music is timeless, and there’s always something new to discover. Too often, people stick to the sounds of their generation and stop exploring. But why? There are so many amazing up-and-coming bands out there waiting to be heard. So we decided to share our journey. Join us as we blog about our experiences, celebrate the thrill of live music, and prove ...

Album Review: Velvet Trip – Glimmers Continued “A Psychedelic Groove Worth Getting Lost In”

  Tracklist:   1. Superstar 2. It Don’t Matter 3. Calling Out Your Name 4. The Here and Now 5. The Bends 6. Another Life 7. Tell Me Why 8. Burning Up 9. Fr3o 10. Let Go 11. It’s All for You       Let’s start by giving Zeppelin Hamilton some props — Velvet Trip is an elite band name. It’s smooth, a bit sexy, and fits their whole psychedelic pop‑rock thing perfectly. The trio (Zeppelin, Toby Anagnostis, and Clayton Allen) have been pumping out music at a wild pace, and the best part is… it’s actually good.   Glimmers Continued is basically the full version of their 2025 EP Glimmers, with six extra tracks added to round it out into a proper album. It follows their 2024 debut Harmony Blooms, so yeah — these guys don’t muck around.   A Smooth Start, Then the Trip Begins   The album kicks off with Superstar , a warm little intro track that shows off Zeppelin’s silky vocals and the synthy textures that pop up al...

The Rions - Live @ UC Refrectory 21/3/26 : polished, powerful, and just getting started

There’s something disarming about The Rions when they first walk out. Four young blokes, each with their own vibe, their own posture, their own little pocket of stage energy. At first glance, the dynamic feels almost mismatched — like four different genres wandered onstage together. What looks unusual becomes the charm: a band that doesn’t need to match to mesh. And mesh they do. For an hour and a half, The Rions delivered a set so clean it bordered on surreal. Noah Blockley’s vocals were the standout from the first note — crisp, powerful, and almost studio perfect. Usually in a live setting you expect a few rough edges, a crack here or there, something human. But Noah sounded like he’d swallowed the record whole. The only tiny gripe of the night was that Harley Wilson’s backing vocals occasionally got swallowed in the mix, especially during their Beatles cover — but honestly, that’s nitpicking on our part. What really lands is Noah’s emotional delivery. He sings like he’s trying to...
