Critical musings on the rad, bad and completely mad in the city of Adelaide

[Matty Hendrix @onlyinadelaide]

Wow, @WOMADelaide what a wondrous weekend against all odds. Congratulations to all involved. Personal 🎶 faves @goannaband King Stingray Springtime Ausecuma Beats @kevinsaunderson @CBurnside_BCR @bakerboymusic @carlalippis @floatingpoints @EmmaDonovanDAWN @paulkelly @elsywameyo

Phwoar! Four of my fave Oz rock front folk on one stage celebrating 50 years of Rolling Stones classic #StickyFingers. Fantastic night at reopened @adelaidefescent

That demon life has got me back in its sway 🙏 @adalitamusic @TexPerkins @philjamieson Tim Rogers

Wagons does Zevon 🤩 Great to see the infallible @henrywagons back on stage @TheGovHindmarsh after more than a decade, bringing the songs of legendary rascal Warren Zevon back to life (the 💯 yo in the crowd loved it). Look forward to the Wagons train rollin back to Adelaide soon

[Matty Hendrix @onlyinadelaide]

Can confirm @tfs_theband & @kinggizzard are still the best live double act in Oz music. Yes, it was weird to be sitting down, but so bloody amazing to feel the full force of their tunes in our peep and ear holes again at the always grand @ThebbyTheatre

[Matty Hendrix @onlyinadelaide]

Huge shout out to everyone involved in making @WOMADelaide happen. Sure, the stripped-down version was light on quantity, but the quality of tunes and the fan experience was at the same high standard. Two nights of @midnightoilband hard to go past but all acts shone #womad

[Matty Hendrix @onlyinadelaide]

Wonderful night under ✨ at rejigged #Womad - @sarahblasko dazzled, @liormusic + @The_ASO stunned & ailing @archieroach as powerful as ever. Very sad to think that might be the last time we see him on an #Adelaide stage. Well done @WOMADelaide Bring on @midnightoil tonight!

[Matty Hendrix @onlyinadelaide]

Perfect Sunday arvo in the Wonderland Spiegeltent with the new queen of Oz country, the fantastic & fierce @FannyLumsden and crack band The Pack @ADLfringe. Sweet tunes, awesome harmonies, lots o laughs and even a tear or two. The talented @timothyjbowen a top choice as support

[Matty Hendrix @onlyinadelaide]

Nothing compares 2 seeing Prince live, but SA DJ royalty @LateNiteTuffGuy did a fitting tribute to the departed legend in a lovely night under the stars at the great Summerhouse venue for @adelaidefest . And sooooo good to be able to boogie again #Controversy #PrinceNews

[Matty Hendrix @onlyinadelaide]

Nice lil festival season taster w/ local ⭐️s @taashacoates, DustyLee Stephenson & Chris Finnen Band @ the under-used but great @ladydalyhotel & Joiners Arms beer gardens thanks to @guitar_festival. It won’t be normal Mad March, but we are so 🙏 the show goes on. #hiddenhindmarsh

[Matty Hendrix @onlyinadelaide]

Heck it was nice to be back @thebbytheatre last night, experiencing live music in all its glory with @benfolds and @the_aso . Such a great performer & his fondness for our city is palpable. Our orchestra is also pretty damn fine. Proud to call #Adelaide home in these crazy times

[Matty Hendrix @onlyinadelaide]

@auntymeredith Love your work Aunty. That was a ripper

[Matty Hendrix @onlyinadelaide]

Oh golly. @WeyesBlood simply beguiling last night @adelaidefest That sweeping voice so transcendently tender, particularly a stunning, tear-inducing Picture Me Better tribute to departed #adelaide muso mate Sam 😢 Something to hold onto for a real long time. #AdlFest @mistletone

[Matty Hendrix @onlyinadelaide]

Was real bummed when a duststorm forced @kevinmorby to miss #adelaide last time but oh my he made up for it tonight @adelaidefest . Real sublime stuff #AdlFest

[Matty Hendrix @onlyinadelaide]

An absolutely impeccable & flawless Sunday night show from @thenewpornos 🙏 Harmonies to last us weeks & @NekoCase reminding us what an incredible vocal talent she is 💪 Venue and sound spot on 👌. An amazing start to what should be an epic @adelaidefest week. #adelaidefestival

[Matty Hendrix @onlyinadelaide]

Far too much of a rocking good time had with Japan’s finest @GuitarWolfJet & @the_5678s @RCCFringe last night. Like the Uni Bar days of old. Woo hoo, woo hoo hoo! @ADLfringe #adelaide #fringe #rocknroll 🇯🇵 🎸 🐺

[Matty Hendrix @onlyinadelaide]

‘It’s a mess, ain’t it sheriff?’
Nah Wendell, it’s an unholy match made in heaven. Cormac 📖, Coen Brothers 📽️and @tfs_theband 🎸. Last night's #nocountryforoldmen @ADLfringe show freaking brilliant.

[Matty Hendrix @onlyinadelaide]

Henry Naylor’s plays @HoldenStreet are always an @ADLfringe highlight & happy to report The Nights is another skillfully crafted, brilliantly acted gem. A gripping & poignant piece with vivid, gut-punching prose that left us plenty to ponder on humanity, politics & journalism.

[Matty Hendrix @onlyinadelaide]

Thanks @moonduo for that cosmic, psychedelic aural and visual Valentine’s Day disco orgasm. Great start to @rccfringe @ #adelaideuniversity @thercccult @ADLfringe @mistletone #rccfringe #adelaidefringe #thelightship

[Matty Hendrix @onlyinadelaide]

Some brilliant southern-fried metal in the South Australian capital on a Wednesday night as @coccabal melted faces and Orange amps during a rare #Adelaide visit. Still going strong and as mighty as ever. @NuclearBlastAus #COC

[Matty Hendrix @onlyinadelaide]

World is fukt but McLusky (@shit_rock) are back to at least make it a little less shite. So far ahead of their time. What a devastatingly brilliant and bitingly witty demonstration of punk rock at Lion Arts #adelaide. 🙏
