Tin Star, Canyon Creek & Mt. Morning at The Cave Inn

It was with a skip in my step (and a bit of hay between my teeth) that I headed to The Cave Inn on Saturday, to review Brisbane band Tin Star's single launching Jamboree gig with Canyon Creek and Mt. Morning.

First off, I've never seen so many guitars, lined up in a rowdy row yearning to be played - truly impressive! So what kind of music was playing at this gig? "We got both kinds...we got country AND western."

The Disables, The Go Set, Arseless Chaps, The Cutaways and Mitch Please at The Brightside

For the last 21 years, the two person team that is Punkfest have been providing the city of Brisbane with a regular and reliable flow of punk gigs - covering all the various strands of punk and hardcore, and always with a chilled out and good humoured vibe.

It’s fitting then that for the 21st birthday celebration, a stellar lineup has been assembled at The Brightside. Drawn from the local neighbourhood and across the country, it has everything from hardcore and street punk to classic rock, folk punk and cheesy electronics.
