Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever

Michael Buble comes crooning back at rescheduled Sydney show

The show marked one of the last ever performances at The Cambridge Hotel.

It goes without saying (but we will say it anyway) that you'd be hard-pressed to find a band that had a good time during COVID restrictions and lockdowns.

When it comes to jangly indie pop tunes, few do it better than Australia’s Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, which is why it wasn’t a surprise to see a packed Horseshoe on a holiday Monday night to see the 5-piece perform.

The 3 pronged guitar/vocal attack of Fran Keaney (acoustic), Joe White (lead) and Tom Russo (rhythm) from this Melbourne outfit provides great shades of light and dark while providing a melodic soundscape of jangling, effervescent guitar which permeated the room with its crisp, clean tones.

After what felt like half a dozen postponed and cancelled shows throughout the last two years, Melbourne's Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever finally got on stage in their home city (24 March) to essentially launch their 2020 sophomore record, 'Sideways To New Italy' – less than two months before their third LP.
