The Fortitude Valley Mall is chockers and as I near The Fortitude Music Hall the line to tonight's final Violent Soho (SOHO) show (10 September) is snaking down to Brunswick Street.

As life begins to return to some semblance of normal prior to the pandemic, part of the process of returning to every-day life is indulging in those activities denied us the past 12 months.

It’s raw, dirty, and damn good fun.

Watching them consistently climb with each album release to becoming one of the country’s best known and indeed, most beloved, touring rock bands has been marvellous; the success couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of people, either.

Violent Soho are a tireless touring band and despite multiple stops in and around Brisbane in the last year, they could still warrant a show at the near 10,000 capacity Riverstage.

Perth's Tired Lion won over even more fans tonight with their fuzzy grungy sound reverberating around the Hordern early.

Kat Friend stands at an upright drum kit - actually just a tom and a snare, front of stage, brimming with energy as she dances.
