Stubs: # 275 – Queen + Adam Lambert, Wellington, 2020

What a strange year 2020 has turned out to be. It started off weirdly enough. There I am at a fucking Queen concert! (And mostly enjoying it). Next thing there are no concerts at all ever again. No visitors. No tours. And every musician is having a massive spit about loss of income this and […]

Stubs: # 239 – Blackcaps V England, Westpac Stadium, Wellington, 2019

I should really have this ticket framed – maybe put a picture of me next to it wearing a clown-suit. $64-fucking-dollars-and-60-fucking-cents for a Twenty20 match. Jesus. And Christ. And that was the cheapest option. The Family Zone, alcohol free – to pay the top price you’d get about three bucks back out of a hundy; […]

Stubs: # 233– AC/DC, Wellington, 2015

I first got to see AC/DC in 2010 and it was good. Okay, it wasn’t AC/DC in 1977 or 1980 or even in 1991 – but it was my first chance to see the band. And it was great. Solid-af. I dug it. I didn’t really think it would be as good seeing them a […]

Gig Review: Foo Fighters & Weezer (January 27, Sydney)

Foo Fighters & Weezer ANZ Stadium, Sydney Olympic Park; Sydney, Australia Saturday, January 27 The Foo Fighters are a strange beast – they have been in existence some 22 years.

Gig Review: AC/DC (December 12, Wgtn)

AC/DC Westpac Stadium Saturday, December 12 AC/DC last played Wellington’s Westpac Stadium nearly six years ago. Since then the band’s heart and soul, Malcolm Young, has been forced into retirement, and Kiwi-based drummer Phil Rudd is still in the sin-bin for partying too hard, and, well, illegally. So though there’s just the one album since […]
