Courtney Barnett Live @ The Tivoli
26 March 2022
Courtney Barnett brought out the lampshades and lit up the Tivoli with her unique blend of countrified suburban life poetry and gangly Suzi Quatro guitar rock, more hard-hitting on stage than on album. Highlights included ‘Small Poppies’, ‘Elevator Operator’ and ‘History Eraser’.
Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit
by Courtney Barnett (Milk! Records, 2015)
Australian singer-songwriter and guitarist Courtney Barnett’s debut album stands out for its witty, poetic lyrics and its sardonic, coffee house critique of Melbournian life, grafted with uncommon adroitness onto a musical framework that celebrates the grunge and chutzpah of post-punk indie rock.
