Mental Notes January 2023: All the Rest Are Strangers
BRISBANE—I haven’t done a music review for 23 years, literally, so I sipped a few Coopers on the balcony and did this for a friend. Or possibly enemy, as no-one likes a reviewer.

Spiderbait; Screamfeeder; Snout; The Fauves; Verona, UWA Refectory, November 30, 1996
Energised with a huge young fan base, their energy and machismo overflowing, the upper echelons of the Australian scene finally deserve a clap. Case in point: Spiderbait nestled amongst the Xmas ‘Best Of’ pap in the charts. Truly a reason to be thankful.
Made To Fit; Maria Wilson and Friends, Fly By Night, March 30, 1996
The ‘Fly exists for gigs like this – punters armed with bottles of red, various cheeses and old whiskey barrels for the paddock-worn Blundstones to rest upon. Ah, and both kinds of music: country and western.
