STACK January 2016 Issue 135

62 / 70

G reetings STACK music
lovers, and welcome to
2016, where the live circuit
begins like a bat out of hell with so
many festival sideshows to choose
from just in the first week of the year,
it’ll make your head spin. I’ve got
Leon Bridges, Kurt Vile, Foals, Bloc
Party and Mac DeMarco already on
my dance card, and then after a
couple of days to collect myself it’ll
be time for Jamie xx at Melbourne’s
Forum Theatre. Recent ARIA queen
Courtney Barnett will be turning up
later in the month too, but before
then I’ll be imbibing a bit of elegant
culture with So Frenchy So Chic in
the Park. The enchanting Lou Doillon
will be performing tracks from her
new album Lay Low, which is sure to
be a wonderful experience, coupled
with the kind of gourmet cheese and
charcuterie boards I plan to
devour. After that I’m going bush
for the fantastic display of Aussie
talent that is the Tamworth
Country Music Festival. It goes
from January 15 to 24, and I’m
hoping to get my ears around
Brothers 3, Lee Kernaghan,
Caitlyn Shadbolt, Josh Rennie-
Hynes, and of course attend the
always incredible Busking
Championships. The conclusion
to the fest is the Toyota Golden
Guitar Awards, which celebrate
the year’s outstanding
achievements in country music. I
suppose I’ll have to rest a bit after
that menu of musical goodness,
because we all must have full
energy reserves for Wu-Tang Clan
in February. Bring da ruckus, and
keep your head in the music.
