I've been to more than 140 gigs this year and the Tote is like an old high school friend you knew back in the day, who you catch up with at the 20-year reunion to find nothing has changed at all. Stew Cunningham is a legend of the Australian music scene. Again, the scene showed how much they care for their comrades and came together for a brutal night of rock ’n’ roll - a benefit show with Draft Dodgers and others. Swedish Magazines did a rare gig and blew everyone away.
Port Rock was a beautiful tribute/wake for Andy Portokallis, a stalwart of the Melbourne scene who lived and loved rock n roll, so the cream of the crop came out to raise their glasses to the great man Even, Breadmakers and a mind-blowing set from Dan Sultan.
Love Melbourne, love rock and roll!
