Gypsy & The Cat | Paradiso, Amsterdam
Review/Recensie: Gypsy & The Cat | Paradiso, Amsterdam – 20 September 2011 I’m going to keep this review short because that’s what the gig was – short.
CocoRosie | Openluchttheater Caprera, Bloemendaal
REVIEW/ RECENSIE: CocoRosie | Openluchttheater Caprera, Bloemendaal – 30 July 2011 CocoRosie is like one of those freakshows – it’s kind of weird & magical, you can’t take your eyes off it, you’re entranced and you don’t know why, but it’s amazing.
Pete Yorn | People’s Place, Amsterdam
People’s Place invited the girls from THE FOX to see Pete Yorn who was such an inspiration after coming straight from band practice! The band was really tight. Every small change in tempo, feel and transitions between songs were seamless.

The magic of Agnes Obel twice in a night
REVIEW/RECENSIE: Agnes Obel & Anne Müller – Melkweg & People’s Place, Amsterdam 10 May 2011 It was a blessing in disguise that I could not see Agnes Obel earlier this year (I had my own gig), because tonight I would see her twice in one night. Pow.
Hanging out with Kaki King in Amsterdam
Review/Recensie: Kaki King, Bimuis, Amsterdam – 4 May 2011 I saw Kaki King perform in 2009 in Melbourne and that was not her best gig (read about it here).

I didn’t get the pleasure of being at the show, but a good friend and my housemate went and came back with a setlist autographed by the one and only Yuki Chikudate. Thanks guys!
Lykke Li | Paradiso, Amsterdam
Review/Recensie: Lykke Li | Paradiso Amsterdam – 9 April 2011 “Like a shotgun, needs an outcome, I’m your prostitute, you’re gonna get some.” After more than an hour of waiting, and no support band, suddenly the stage turned black. Long strips of black material were flowing from the ceiling. Strobe lights. Deep thumping of the...
Adele’s sold out show in Paradiso: & how I got on the guestlist
My housemate Helen and I wanted tickets to Adele's sold out gig. On a whim I said "I'm going to record an audition for Adele's concert so we can go to the concert; me playing, and you as my guest". Find out what happened.
Amatorski | Paradiso, Amsterdam
Review/Recensie: Amatorski | Paradiso, Amsterdam – 30 March 2011 In one word to describe Belgium’s Amatorski? Dreamy.
Aloe Blacc & Maya Jupiter | Paradiso, Amsterdam
REVIEW/RECENSIE: Aloe Blacc & Maya Jupiter | Paradiso, Amsterdam – 27 March 2011 Aloe Blacc and his band (my favourites were the sax and trumpeter from Cuba) were so incredibly smooth.
