Excellent debut album Treats just released by Australian band Victoria featuring Max Doyle (Songs), Cameron Emerson-Elliott (Yourth Group), Alison Galloway (Smudge) and Patrick Matthews (The Vines, Youth Group).

Tomorrow night - Courtney Marie Andrews.

Saw them last month in Sydney and loved them. Terrific band. Much funkier and jammier than I expected.

This Friday... Built To Spill.

A lot of the reviews are saying this is the first time the band has worked with an outside producer since Sky Blue Sky. I assume the reviewers are recycling some crappy press release because Wilco (the Album) was produced by Jim Scott.

Sure enough: Wed 13 March - Princess Theatre: Turrbal Jagera Land, Brisbane Fri 15 March - Canberra Theatre: Ngunnawal, Canberra Sun 17 March - The Forum: Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung, Melbourne Thrs 21 March - Sydney Opera House: Gadigal Land, Sydney https://www.abc.net.au/doublej/music-reads/music-news/wilco-announce-australian-tour-2024-dates-tickets-leah-senior/102841264

Hoping the Japan dates means this is part of Asia Pacific tour and Wilco come down to Australia for the first time in about 10 years!

The Guardian weigh in with a 4 star review. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/aug/31/wilco-review-venerated-band-remain-startlingly-brilliant-alt-rock-greats

For me the band's third album Infinite Arms is their best - an absolute gem. The first two albums Everything All the Time and Cease to Begin are also very good - but I think the quality dropped off after that. Seen them live a couple of times and they are great.

Yes he was a terrific guitar player. Tore it up on stage during Dylan's early electric tours. Who would have thought Garth Hudson would end up the only survivor of the original Band?

I know he fell out with other members of The Band following the breakup in the mid-70s - but undoubtedly one of the greatest songwriters of the rock era. So many timeless classics including The Weight, The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down etc.

RIP Randy Meisner. Underatted member of Eagles. Wrote and sang my favorite Eagles song 'Try And Love Again'.

Has a recording of this show been released?

Very jealous! Love the Pernice Brothers - wasn't aware of this reunion/album show.
