Kasey Chambers concert review
Newtown Social Club in Newtown, Australia
Thu, 04 Sep 2014

Ive been seeing Kasey Chambers since back at the Metro days and this small venue was a brilliant choice akin to those days where it was Kasey and the crowd interacting and enjoying the event.

The band was slick and powerful and this is as good a show as I can remember Kasey doing (and I have seen a lot)
The duet with Harry Hookey was perfection!!!
More smaller venues please!

A fantastic show. I'm not the world's biggest Kasey fan (that would be my wife) but live she is always great and last night was just about the most enjoyable show of hers I've seen. Dan Kelly on lead was fantastic. The whole band were on song, and 10/10 for the effort when the vocal PA went on the fritz and Kasey ("My voice sounds like a foghorn anyway") led them through an acoustic version of a song they obviously hadn't played together before, from her first album - also 10/10 for Kasey not having a sook at the PA problems but just keeping the crowd entertained and generating such a lovely vibe all evening. I love seeing a group of musicians genuinely having a great time on stage and this was it. Her stage patter was as hysterically funny as ever (the explanation for "Can I Be Your Stalker" had most of the crowd in tears of laughter), look, basically they belted out a terrific show of songs old and new and it was far better than anything she's done in the previous 5 years or so.
