Charles Hotel is New
Hearted on Wednesday
Remember that old rough pub at the Charles St end of Wanneroo Rd? The one full of bikies and bogans? Well, it’s not like that anymore. Not even a little bit. At least not on Sundays anyway.

His Favourite Articles
Mark Watson @ The Playhouse
Hearted on the 5th
Ok, so it's not music, except that a room full of strangers laughing is sort of musical, and the support act played a ukelele song about knees, Still "Can I briefly talk to you about the point of life?" could change the world just the way music can.

Divinyls, Chris Isaak, The Church @ Fremantle Oval (22/12/2007)
Hearted on the 30th Sep, 2008
A strange mix of aging rockers gathered at Fremantle oval on Saturday night, and the crowd, for the most part were nonplussed.

Hearted on the 30th Sep, 2008

Black Lung @ Sin Saturday 26th April 2008
Hearted on the 30th Sep, 2008
David Thrussell returned to Sin on Saturday in his Black Lung costume, treating patrons to some old school industrial techno from a gothic horror novel.
Bluejuice and The Paper Scissors @ Newport Hotel 27/04/08
Hearted on the 30th Sep, 2008
As well as doing their bit for pop diversity, bands Bluejuice and The Paper Scissors have between them, the most adorable dimples in Australian music today. The population is just one grin and lopsided gaze away from complete subjugation, so when you join the audience of either of these bands, be prepared to, as Bluejuice puts it, dance in a retarded way.
Birds of Tokyo, The Chemist @ Amplifier Sunday 18/05/08
Hearted on the 30th Sep, 2008
It was a Birds of Tokyo weekend at Amplifier; after selling out Friday and Saturday’s shows weeks earlier, they added a Sunday night gig at the last minute, which also sold out at the door.
The Galvatrons @ Railway Hotel 23/05/08
Hearted on the 30th Sep, 2008
I know baby, just how you feel The Galvatrons ain't the worst that you’ve seen; can’t you see what I mean? Go ahead and see them. You might as well. Jump.
The Silents @Railway Hotel Fremantle 07/06/08
Hearted on the 30th Sep, 2008
There were high hopes for the sx-headed lineup at the Railway Hotel on Saturday, headlined by The Silents, a band everyone has seen live by now, and who have a reputation for encouraging a shout-along among fans. Uncharacteristically though, they ended up ‘rockin’ the Railway’ to sleep and living up to their name for a change.
Jimmy Stewart @ Norfolk Basement 12/06/08
Hearted on the 30th Sep, 2008
Jimmy Stewart (Clinkerfield) played a sample of his songs to a chilled Fremantle audience, warming them up for the next two acts, who subsequently drove the Thursday night ute in ‘a little bit country’ direction.
The Audreys @ Fly By Night 20/06/08
Hearted on the 30th Sep, 2008
The Fly By Night Musicians Club has long been a supporter of original musicians, so long, it seems that the original patrons have grown up and spawned musicians and grand-musicians of their own.
Dead Letter Circus @ Amplifier 27/06/08
Hearted on the 30th Sep, 2008
By nine pm the Amplifier Bar was sold out and Dead Letter Circus fans had given up waiting at the bar for a drink in favour of finding a place in front of the stage.
Genghis/Space Race/Order of the Black Werewolf @ Breakers
Hearted on the 30th Sep, 2008

Day of The Dead @ Devilles Pad 19/07/08
Hearted on the 30th Sep, 2008
Deville’s Pad was an ideal choice for the launch of Day of the Dead’s second album Kill or Be Killed. It's a new venue at the wrong end of Aberdeen St with a dress code, an impressive cocktails menu, and décor to impress the dark lord himself.
The Wombats @ Capitol 02/08/08
Hearted on the 30th Sep, 2008
Many are under the impression that wombats are slow, fat and hairy. However there is a kind of Wombat that evolved in 2006 in Liverpool, that in the space of a year, has spread across at least three continents like STDs at a festival.
Triple J Live at the Wireless @ Fly by Night 03/08/08
Hearted on the 30th Sep, 2008
Triple J Live at the Wireless @ Fly by Night 03/08/08 Birds of Tokyo Abbe May and the Rockin’ Pnumonia Harlequin League
DEVO and Regurgitator @Metro City 06/08/08
Hearted on the 30th Sep, 2008
Supremely influential, vengefully nerdy, so completely ironic that it hurt, DEVO rolled into town on a Splendour bender and entertained a mob of forty-somethings and a smattering of younger rubberneckers come to see what all the fuss was about.
Schvendes, French Rockets, Pacific by Rail @ Shape 15/08/08
Hearted on the 30th Sep, 2008
There are really only so many times one person should review a band before it begins to look like the reviewer is on the payroll, Schvendes is one of those bands unfortunately, so there will be no lyrical waxing over their Friday performance.
Galvatrons, Streetlight and Tracksuit @ Rocket Room
Hearted on the 30th Sep, 2008
Saturday night saw those adorable tragic-80’s-haircut-‘metal’ throwbacks the Galvatrons visiting Perth for a fashion show at Myer and they stopped by the Rocket Room to make us relive some of our worst 80s rock memories, and rethink them.
Injured Ninja @ Rocket Room 28/09/08
Hearted on the 30th Sep, 2008
Using earplugs when you see this band does not make you soft.
The Devil Wears Prada @ Amplifier 02/06/08
Hearted ages ago
The Devil Wears Prada take the less-than-honest approach of dressing in wolf’s clothing to sell an album or two, or a concert ticket or 30,000.
Order of the Black Werewolf @Hydey 27/05/08
Hearted ages ago
If the floor wasn't sticky enough with spilled drink before, it became a veritable flood as absolutely no patron was left outside or playing pool while Order of the Black Werewolf were on stage.
Space Race, El Cid, 100000 Fireflies @Hyde Park Hotel 22/05/08
Hearted ages ago
The crowd is scattered all over the Hydey as the band area has been sectioned off to incorporate just enough room for the band, maybe two or three fans and the local madwoman who hangs out at the pub every other night.
Princess One Point Five album launch
Hearted ages ago
Princess One Point Five play their first ever show in Perth and launch their third album Vous Je Vous at the Hyde Park Hotel on April 18.
Karnivool & That1Guy @ Metropolis Fremantle 20/04/08
Hearted ages ago
Back on tour in Oz again, Karnivool kicked off their Aeons Tour at Metro's in Fremantle on Saturday night. Performing to rapt and rabid fans (as usual) the ‘Vool proved once again, that they love the home crowd best. On their winter tour of the States, they met That 1 Guy, (Mike Silverman) and liked him and his Magic Pipe so much; they brought him home to meet the family. The family liked him too.
V Festival @ The Esplanade, Perth (06/04/08)
Hearted ages ago
V Festival wrapped up in Perth on Sunday and not only were the bands showing signs of wear, but the sound guys clearly napped throughout the entire day.
Snog @ Sin Club, Perth (06/04/08)
Hearted ages ago
Perth’s Sin Club played host to Snog on Saturday night, and they were clearly enjoying themselves every bit as much as the audience.

Air, New Buffalo & Resort @ Kings Park, Perth (28/3/08)
Hearted ages ago
Air are touring with V Festival this year, and the serenity of the King’s Park Botanic Garden was a perfect spot for the band to deliver its first-ever Australian performance. Even the ducks liked it.
Jeff Martin @ Friends Restaurant, Perth (04/04/08)
Hearted ages ago
Friends Restaurant at the Hyatt might have seemed like an odd place for Jeff Martin to play a show, but intimacy seems to suit Martin (of Tea Party fame) just as well as the open festival stage.
Fright Night @ Hyde Park Hotel (13/07/2007)
Hearted ages ago
The superstitious are vindicated as the Black Friday party at the Hyde Park Hotel is evacuated during the second song of the Schvendes set owing to a kitchen fire.
The Stems, The Howlin’ Novocaines @ Leopold Hotel, Perth (7/9/2007)
Hearted ages ago
The Stems warmed up for a national tour at the Leopold Hotel, and proved to new fans and old, that rocking is just like riding a bike.
Mia Dyson, Whitley, Rocco Deluca @ Fly by Night, Fremantle (28/7/2007)
Hearted ages ago
Mia, 1987 called, they want it all back; where do you buy a shirt like that nowadays? Using that voice to write great truckin’ songs for the hoedown is like using a priceless antique as a doorstop.
The Cops, Expatriate, Colors @ Amplifier Bar, Perth (11/10/2007)
Hearted ages ago
It was a good sized crowd for a school night when The Cops and Expatriate played Amplifier on Thursday for what they thought would be a warm up gig for Friday’s show.
