Well the album of the year context is heating up and it's nearly boxing day when I will announe this year's (well the first Blog Album of the year prize).
Forget the ARIA's this will be the Australian music prize that every Australian will be aiming for.
So firstly I have the following three albums all up for the nod:
SIA - We are Born
John Butler Trio - April Uprising
and finally Angus & Julia Stone - Down the Way, which is my live review from the weekend at Sydney's Enmore Theatre. This was the third night they performed there on there stretch of three SOLD OUT nights.
Well this was certainly a special night, they had already done to lovely sold out performances and I was lucky enough to catch the third show the Saturday special.
They played a lot of great hits from the new album "Down the Way" and their past favourites like Mango Tree and Private Lawns. They did however miss the wonderful Paper Aeroplanes.
They also missed my personal highlight on the new disc "On the Road" however made up for this with a beautiful performance of "And the Boys" and "Black Crow". "Big Jet Plane" came in the encore and their latest offering "Hold On" was just blissful.
This was definately a lovely night out and I must say this album will be hard to beat for the blog's album of the year but with the news in I will be attending John Butler Trio this Friday the competion will be hotting up!
Angus & Julia Stone rate a comfortable 3 and a half live stars.
