The Whitlams, The Bloodpoets The Tivoli, Brisbane (14/8/09)
FasterLouder by Tian265 The Bloodpoets begin the night with a crowd-pleasing set of pop-rock numbers.

Revisiting the Darkness
The Age by Andrew Murfett In their 17 years the Whitlams have endured high and lows of an operatic scale. So bring on the orchestra. Andrew Murfett reports. FOUR years ago, Tim Freedman did something as surreptitious as it was unexpected: he became a father. The 43-year-old nonchalantly let the details slip last month in […]
