BUTCH WALKER REVIEW

Butch then diced he wanted to live on the wild side, as he picked out two members from the audience and got them to come up on stage and sing"Freak of the Week" which was originally done by his other band Marvelous 3. Everyone was filming this song and it created a fun atmosphere in the venue

VOIVOD REVIEW

Voivod entertained the audience by talking to them and brought out an Australian flag on stage with a Voivod logo on It and wear it like a cape and says "I could wear it this way" and put it on the front of himself "or do a Batman kind of thing" and wears it like a cape. I can turn it the other way and look like I am doing a burger or something cooking thank you very much" and the crowd laughs

HARM'S WAY

The energy of the band jumping up and down spread through the venue like wild fires and Harms Way made sure you were having an Amazing night. Next up was  "Breeding Grounds, Temptation, Call My Name and Become a Machine". As you looked out into the audience the headbanging was manic and there were smiles across everyones face.

LED ZEPPELIN MASTERS

To end the show Led Zeppelin Masters playerd 'Immigration song and Whole Lotta Love'. The night was unforgettable and it is an experience you will never forget. It was a  great tribute to celebrate the legacy of Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Bonham and John Paul Jones and if you get to a chance to see the Led Zeppelin Masters, I would take the opportunity in a heartbeat.

GOOD THINGS

This year was the first year of Good Things Festival in Australia and man I can guarantee it was full of Good Things. From a Killer line up to the Artist signing tents, bars and the ride area you knew you were in for a sweet festival of Rock, metal and punk music which left little for the heart to desire. 

 

Twinmusix walked into the festival grounds of Parramatta park on Saturday morning and we were ready to rock and have an amazing time at Good Things festival.

Ronnie stopped and told everyone that the next song was dedicated to Toyah and it is her song. He told everyone how Toyah tragically passed away, It was a truly sad and touching moment as Toyah loved this song and it was her ringtone on her phone.

JORDAN RUDESS

Jordan took us on a journey about his life between his piano playing and how he got to where he is today He explained how he did a cover of Bach and he uploaded it to Facebook. Facebook took down the video and said you can't publish it as it is a video of a famous composer called Glenn Gould, he thought it was wired that Bach could still be copyrighted so he wrote to Facebook and they unblocked the video.

 R.I.P. TOYAH 

Toyah’s favourite song was ‘’Your Guardian Angel’’ by THE RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS. The band start their Australian Tour on the 29th November in Brisbane. I (John Howarth the tour publicist) was contacted by a colleague and informed that the song was often referred to as Toyah’s Song. It was her go to song, her ring tone for a long time and a song that her friends and family relate heavily to, more now than ever.
