Edit this setlist | More Tom Bailey setlists Lay Your Hands on Me You Take Me Up Doctor! Doctor! Hold Me Now
Calexico @ Hamer Hall – Melbourne Arts Centre, Melbourne (Wed 2 Mar 2016)
I think the question that needs to be asked here, is how many times haven’t I seen Calexico? My first Calexico show was back in 2003, and I’ve seen them…
Kurt Vile @ The Forum, Melbourne (Sun 3 Jan 2016)
Greetings Vileophiles. My lovely wife is a huge Kurt Vile fan. I like Kurt Vile. Not as much as my wife. She loves Kurt Vile. Anyway, as with all of…
Meredith Music Festival @ Meredith Supernatural Amphitheatre, Meredith (Fri 11 Dec – Sun 13 Dec 2015)
It was always going to be touch and go as to whether I’d make it to this years Meredith Music Festival. There wasn’t that much on the bill that excited…
Fleetwood Mac @ Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne (Mon 2 Nov 2015)
So here’s a bucket list band if I’ve ever had one: Fleetwood Mac. THE lineup of Fleetwood, Buckingham, Nicks, McVie and McVie. You may remember my old school mate Stephen…
Marc Maron @ Palais Theatre, Melbourne (Fri 16 Oct 2015)
It’s not often you live through a defining period in your life and know it at the time. I’m not talking about having a kid- because that’s obviously a defining…
Clint Mansell @ Melbourne Recital Centre, Melbourne (Sun 11 Oct 2015)
Clint Mansell strode onto stage 10 minutes after 8pm, wearing a Boards Of Canada T-shirt, greeted the audience and went straight into music from Pi. Accompanied by drums, guitar, bass,…
Vale James Cruickshank
I actually don’t quite remember how or when I met James Cruickshank. I think (and this is opening some rusty hinges in my brain) that it was at The Rails…
Dylan Moran @ State Theatre, Melbourne (Sun 2 Aug 2015)
I’ve seen Dylan Moran a bunch of times, and this was by far the funniest of them all. As I’ve said before about comedy shows, it’s impossible to write anything…
Darling James @ The Old Bar, Melbourne (Wed 3 Jun 2015)
​Tonight, Darling James are launching their debut single ‘Ultimatum Talk’ at The Old Bar. ​It’s Wednesday night in Melbourne, on one of the coldest nights we’ve had this year. ​My…
Mogwai @ Hamer Hall – Melbourne Arts Centre, Melbourne (Sun 1 Mar 2015)
Mogwai are one of my favourite live bands, save for maybe Elbow. They’re music is preffy diverse, but still under that instrumental rock banner, for the most part anyway. Their…
Soundgarden @ Festival Hall, Melbourne (Tue 24 Feb 2015)
You know those defining moments in your life when you injure yourself, and things are never quite the same? You young people reading this probably won’t relate because you’re made…
Meredith Music Festival @ Meredith Supernatural Amphitheatre, Meredith (Fri 12 – Sun 14 Dec 2014)
Meredith. Ah, Meredith. As usual, it was a 5am departure from Melbourne for this. After some queueing and drinking in the morning sun, we were eventually set-up at camp by…
Ratcat @ Corner Hotel, Melbourne (Tue 25 Nov 2014)
I’ve literally been waiting 23 years for this show. I shit you not. As anyone who knows me will attest- Ratcat are my favourite band from my adolescence. This was…
Elbow @ The Forum, Melbourne (Tue 28 Oct 2014)
What more can I say, other than how stoked I am to get to see one of my favourite bands twice in one week. Even though the set tonight was…
Elbow @ Sydney Opera House, Sydney (Sat 25 Oct 2014)
This was my seventh Elbow gig in as many years, with the eighth just a couple of days away. Third time seeing them in Sydney, first time at The Opera…
Kishi Bashi @ Northcote Social Club, Melbourne (Wed 2 Jul 2014)
My mind is still blown and I’m sitting at work the day after the show. Manchester is running through my head and all I can do is sit here and…
Midlake @ Corner Hotel, Melbourne (Sat 24 May 2014)
It’s been a while in between drinks for Midlake and I. And I wasn’t expecting to go to this show at all. I got a call from Werner saying he…
St Vincent @ Howler, Melbourne (Fri 23 May 2014)
That bone structure. Although I’ve never been a huge St Vincent fan, I can definitely appreciate why people are. The last time we saw her was when she toured with…
Billy Bragg @ Palais Theatre, Melbourne (Thu 13 Mar 2014)
Admittedly life’s been getting in the way, so this is being written more than 2 months after this show. Fear not- I still remember it, and I still remember it…
Neko Case @ Corner Hotel, Melbourne (Sun 2 Mar 2014)
We’ve been wanting to see Neko Case for a long time. When she was announced to play the Golden Plains festival, we were dead keen but due to lifes habit…
Dave Chappelle @ Palais Theatre, Melbourne (Sat 1 Mar 2014)
Holy shit my face hurts. Possibly the funniest comedy show I’ve ever had the pleasure of attending. I didn’t know until Wifey and Albertron The-Brother-In-Law told me that this was…
Bruce Springsteen @ AAMI Park, Melbourne (Sat 15 Feb 2014)
Two Bruce Springsteen tours in less than a year- you’ve gotta be happy with that, right? As usual, we missed the supports. We’d have loved to have seen Dan Sultan,…
