3rd time seeing Newton Faulkner & hands down this was the best one . Absolutely incredible . Venue was amazing and food was 10/10. Cannot wait to see him again
FANTASTIC this would have been out 8th show we have seen by John Schumann.
He is a legend 🙌 his music never gets old and his commentary on recent events speaks the truth. No WOKE personalities in this show! As they were told to F@#$ off early in the proceedings. Polly is fantastic on the keyboard and a personality that works well, F@#$knuckle and the rest of the boys well done. Wonder when I will see them again?
On a Friday night with four of our five household members out on the town, what’s a to do? Options: go and watch the three-hour Taylor Swift film on the proviso of pretending not to know my twin daughters, or consult the Bands In Town app? I opt for the latter, and here we are at Lizottes! Piper Butcher is only 19 years old, but sings like someone with many more years on the clock. The one-time Australian Idol Top 24 contestant describes her original material as in the alternative, Americana and blues vein. Butcher has soaring vocals, incredible vocal control, with range from a husky growl to a soaring falsetto, and a catch in her voice to die for on the way there and back. With just her voice and a percussive strumming hand on her guitar, Butcher can more than hold her own on stage. Great chats between songs with the audience: With only a couple of weeks to go until Brian Lizotte hands over the keys to Kings Theatre, Butcher tells us she’s been “pestering Brian for years” for a start - she started gigging at 11. Then another cute story about singing the next song since the age of two on the SingStar game on her PlayStation (Tainted Love) with a slinky groove. Butcher was fun and the perfect hype guy for Grunwald, who invites her on stage later for a duet (one planned, the other sprung). Big things on the horizon for this one. Like Butcher, Ash Grunwald takes the opportunity to thank Brian Lizotte and wife Jo for the venue they’ve built and their years of support. This is my first time seeing Grunwald live, and was not expecting how funny he is on stage. From songs like “The Dolphin Song”, a crowd favourite, to moments that cause him to erupt into giggles. Grunwald is a charmer, but also a bit of a musical chameleon. His set is a grab bag of blues, gospel and acoustic rock. With a quiver of guitars, from acoustics to wide and solid body electric, Grunwald like Piper is another one-person band, but perched on one one of those drum box things for a stool, he also has a couple of foot pedals for rhythm. One is connected to a kick drum, the other seems to be connected to the equivalent of a snare drum but run through effects pedals.
He sits, he stands, he switches from acoustic to electric mid song to go into Wah Wah overdrive. He encourages the audience to sing along in the chorus, and we do so with gusto.
He invites Butcher impromptu to join him on “I’m Only Human (After All)”; very popular choice with the audience; and another duet, the Bill Withers cover “Ain’t No Sunshine”., a collection of Bluesfest recordings. Grunwald has projects, left right and centre, including a joint recording project he released with Josh Teskey, a ripping original “You Ain’t My Problem Anymore” with a blistering solo. Hard core Grunwald fans are out of their seats now, hooting/hollerin. His latest 2022’s “Shout Into The Noise” features some filthy feedback and slippery bottle neck slide guitar, followed by “Think About Myself”, deep in the gospel blues terrain. I skip out the door as Grunwald is still playing, stopping by the merch desk to pick up a CD, while a surfer dude eyes off an impressive array of merchandise, including branded towels, board shorts, CDs, vinyl, a book and yes, even Grunwald “grundies”. And to think I could have spent three hours watching Taylor Swift? Five stars! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
Voice gets better with age.
I would love to hear Bic talk more between songs about herself and her life.
The meal was great.
Top venue. Great artist. Thanks again for all your efforts and best wishes to all regards GFDonohue- Grant Acknowledging Gadigal Land of the Eora Nation- Waterloo.
A small but attentive audience at Lizotte’s were treated to a stadium level performance by Doley and band. The performer blitzed the solos on his wangy-bar piano thingy (clavinet) and enveloped the room in the rich swirling tones from his vintage Hammond and Lesley speaker. Bass player and drummer formed a rock solid foundation to Doley’s off tap musical journeys, from covers by Hendrix to originals from a sizeable back catalogue. Angus Barnes on drums treated the audience to an extended solo that demonstrated his range of the simple and steady rhythms to the more complex tricky timings demanded by Doley’s arrangements. Often those arrangements saw the virtuoso launch into the stratosphere with mind bending soaring improvisations that swooped and dove into quieter keyboard noodling. The intensity of Doley’s performance often saw him disappear into an ecstatic reverie, just as often as he would lock eyes with audience. Newcastle audiences enjoyed a surprise treat with guitar god Adam Miller joining the group on stage for three songs including Lennon’s Jealous Guy and a finale. A world class musical experience for a Thursday night in suburban Newcastle, NSW, Australia.
This was one of the best shows I have seen! Great range of songs and a brilliant combination of performances from everyone. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute and the venue is fantastic!
Absolutely awesome. Ralph and his band are like a fine wine. They get better with age.
These guys are an Australian icon , up there as the best band and music australia has turned out ! An amazing concert but nothing has changed in 35 years .
This was one of the best shows we've ever seen. Matt & his band are absolutely fabulous. Matt Schofield is world class & up there with the best guitarists in the current world. He should be playing at The Sydney Opera House & every other great venue on the planet.
