The Gov

Great as always, played for almost 2 hours with Zia closing it out with some synth. Sound set up wasn’t the best with vocals being a bit low but love that they are still rocking and mixing new music with their older classics. Will keep seeing them every time they come out.

Under 18 was probably a smart financial decision but I’m going to be honest the crowd being there just for lone star was the weirdest thing I have ever seen. I love seeing new fans but they seemed to be hating being there the entire time and just would record certain parts of songs. But the set list for absolutely amazing I couldn’t ask for more bangers.

The Gov needs to be more transparent on their website about when the session actually starts as opposed to just posting door opening times. It shouldn’t be necessary to make a phone call to find out when the session starts.

I have a mate in Arizona that keeps sending me links or info about bands or artists that are coming to Australia, tells me they're a must see, sometimes they're not playing Adelaide, making it difficult, these guys I'd never heard of,but they played a favourite local venue ,so it was easy... totally entertained all night , hopefully I'll see them again if my plans to visit my mate come good.

Wonderful show and classy musicians. Loved Ed Kueper’s dry wit as well as the music. But GOV, please fix the sound!!! - I could see Dilworth was playing but most of the time I couldn’t hear him. Maria

Loved every minute of it. Heard songs that I didn’t know - great format. Lots of fun and the songs were so meaningful. John explained why he wrote them - so powerful. The most entertaining gig I have been too. The venue was its usual standard- excellent- and the cover band was a plus.

Highly anticipated show that was worth the wait! This was my 5th time seeing Victor. The last time was 12 Dec, 2013 in Philadelphia with his brothers as well. Loved every minute, then and now. I would have gone to Perth to see them the next night if I could have!

Holy Holy are one of those bands that sound even better live. There's a richness and energy to their arrangements that has to be experienced in person, and Tim's vocals are flawless. It was such a treat to have full sets from Clews and Kwaame too. All in all, an absolutely phenomenal show.

first show at the gov and it was 10/10 :) sleep token were fucking perfect, i lost my mind hearing granite live and pretty much spent the whole time taking pics of iv. everyone there was nice from the merch staff to the security guard. hell yeah <3

Such fun. Lots of crowd pleasers. Good god, the singer can SANG. She has amazing range! She took on Don't lose sight by Lawrence (look it up) and won. I've never seen anyone try that song live. She soared over Purple Rain and the hairs on my arm stood up. She nailed both Ariana and Jesse's parts in Bang Bang.

Geoff Tates voice is a powerhouse and he can hit those high notes and hold them. 👂The band was fantastic.♥️ The setlist was amazing with the two different set lists from Rage for order and Empire👍He was friendly at the meet and greet and very kind to sign a few things for everybody and do a pic with them.✌️ The merch was cool with more autographed cds for sale.😁

It was a Stirling effort by the band who looked a bit worn out but gave it their all. Poor Margo Timmons was clearly suffering from some sort of cold (later confirmed as a respiratory infection leading to the Perth, Australia show being cancelled). Had waited 3 years to see the band return to Oz so glad they did perform the show even if it wasn’t at the top of their game. I look forward to seeing them perform again in Australia in a year or two .

Seth and the crew were sensational. Replaying the album that soundtracked a transition from teenager to young adulthood, a nostalgic experience for many. Seth didn’t miss a beat all night, showing why he is one of the premier Aussie Hiphop artists of all time. His crowd interaction was brilliant and helped cultivate an energetic and enthusiastic audience, who lapped up everything he threw at them. Brilliant performance, and an even better experience.

Outstanding concert, the band never fails to impress. Adding a percussionist//second drummer and a 3rd guitar/keyboards creates enormous sonic depth. Having two of Australia's finest guitarists in Ash Naylor and Ian Haug doesn't hurt either! Incredible energy from the band matched by the crowds enthusiasm, which was rewarded with two encores. We drove across from Melbourne just to give our teenage daughter the chance to see one of her favourite bands, and it was well worth the effort. We'd probably go to the Northcote gig as well if it was an all-ages event but for some reason Melbourne pub gigs are always strictly 18 plus. Annoying!

The evening with Hollow Coves was a lovely night out for anyone, of any age… and it did seem as though the audience was an eclectic one at that. Hollow Coves’ music is approachable and harmonious., a delightful break from the everyday. They built a good rapport with the audience and seemed to enjoy themselves as well, which added to the enjoyment of their audience immensely. A concert is an experience as well as a night of music… a good concert takes the listener on a journey with the band, takes them on some of the ride the band’s taken - and Hollow Coves took us on that journey with a great deal of pleasure. I wouldn’t hesitate to go on that journey with them again. And I believe, with their wondrous sound, theirs will be a long one, along with the likes of Kings of Convenience, Jon and Roy and Jack. Johnson! Go and see them when they’re near you and make those moments last….

My only complain is that Stand Atlantic didn't play 'drink to drown' but the rest of the show more than makes up for it. They're insanely good live performers. With Confidence's set was also everything I wanted it to be. I had never heard The Sunday Estate's music before but I loved their set so I'm going to check it out It was an awesome night.

Top shelf show for Gomez fans, or just fans of a big voice in good form. Many Gomez favourites in the set, which got a reworking to suit 2 guitars, or 1 guitar and synth drums and trim, and I think all came up very well. A couple of new Gomez songs, 1 or 2 I recognised from Ben's first solo album, and I think 3 covers. Not sure Ben announced anything as from Rattlebag, but there may have been a song or 2 I didn't recognise on the night. Strong show, highlight for me if I had to pick one was How We Operate, even though I tend to prefer their earlier stuff.

What a superb show, Nick gave us nearly all of his well known back catalogue, from Brinsley Schwarz, through Rockpile, to his solo stuff. I’d never seen him perform with Los Sraitjackets before, these guys are entertainers and brilliant musicians. Peace, Love and Understanding

Both bands rocked, The Angels in their home town really pumped the hits, crowd loved it. PA at the Gov really great. Crisp and LOUD as it should be. Kicked, well on in the front snug bar after the gig, sinking a few pints of Guinness listening to some Irish folkies knocking out reel after reel as they do. Top night out. Hung over, doing it all again Saturday night. 🤘

We Lost the Sea stole the show with an incredible set. Unfortunately Russian Circles experienced unavoidable complications with their gear and used equipment and instruments from the supporting acts, and while they put on a great show, it was evident that they were struggling - especially to the end of their set.
