Okay, if you love your West Aussie music then I can assume you already know about WAMfest. If not then let me fill you in on one of the ultimate FREE gigs of the year. WAMfest, in celebration of WA music, will be set up in the Perth Cultural Centre and will feature some of WA’s most exciting artists. Legends like Abbe May, Odette Mercy & Her Soul Atomics and Voyager will be there but so will up-and-comers Old Merv, Adrian Dvzuke, Dulci and Legs Electric.

Jessica Mauboy: The Boss Lady Tour (with special guest Caiti Baker)

Perth Concert Hall
Thursday, 03 November 2022

If you were anything like me in 2006 then you were bopping along and cheering Jessica Mauboy as she made her way through to become the winner of Australian Idol. The young adult who blew us away with her outback rendition of Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You has grown into an ARIA award winner, songwriter, actress and coach on The Voice. The PCH is the perfect stage for Jess to reflect on her multitude of diverse hits since she debuted her first album in 2008. There’s not quite a soulful voice like hers in Australia so take this unique opportunity to check her out.

PIJF: Grace Knight - The First 40 Years

The Ellington Jazz Club
Sunday, 06 November 2022

In the landscape of Australian Jazz there might not be an artist as well-loved as Grace Knight. Grabbing the attention of the public with the internationally acclaimed pop-rock group Eurogliders, Knight established her reputation as a diverse and talented singer. Later she moved into the jazz space, releasing the soundtrack Come In Spinner from the ABC series which went on to become the highest-selling Australian jazz record of all time. Since then she has released several successful solo albums including Grace (2018) and Stormy Weather (1991). Witness this legend when she takes to the Ellington stage to perform songs from her 40-year career which she has lovingly selected.

If you were to put together a list of the defining Australian albums of the 1990s then Regurgitator’s colossal album Unit (1997) sits comfortably at the top end. This album that fused pop, electro, rock and punk is being rereleased for its 25th anniversary and the ‘Gurg are heading back to WA to celebrate! The band have consistently toured and released new music throughout the years and their shows are infamous for the high energy the band and fans bring.

Saviour

Amplifier Bar
Friday, 18 November 2022

Saviour has gone through a shake-up of their band lineup recently but the now quintet are back with a gig at Amplifier to deliver their brand of metalcore music. Known for pushing the boundaries and melding influences of post-hardcore with electro motifs, Saviour is not your ordinary metal band and it’s why they’ve remained a mainstay in the alternative scene in Perth. It’ll be big, brash and abrasive so if you need a rush, this is the show to see.
