Ray And Paul Live @ The Baso 2/9/26 - Ray & Paul: The US Brothers Built for Aussie Stages

  There’s something magic about tour supports — that sweet spot where you catch a band on the rise, still hungry, still sharpening their craft, still earning every new fan. So when Dice announced their tour, we waited to see who they’d bring along. Then a name appeared that none of us had heard before: Ray and Paul, straight out of the US. James did his usual ritual — deep‑dive listening, instant obsession — but I went in cold. No prep, no expectations. And honestly, I’m glad I did, because what unfolded at The Baso was one of those rare support‑act moments where you realise you’re watching something special before anyone else knows their name. Ray and Paul walked onstage calm, tight, and clearly well‑rehearsed. Smooth players. Clean sound. Way too good to be the support act — the kind of surprise that lifts your whole day. And I needed that lift. Ray opened with a quick hello, then launched into a vocal tone that stopped the room. Warm, textured, unexpectedly powerful. Seconds ...

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...
