Live reviews

The Black Sorrows are classic Aussie rock to the nth degree. They’ve been going whole hog since 1983 and are still true blue, stomping around the wide brown land from woop woop to the back of Burke.
It’s been hard yakka for these hoons and their latest album Certified Blue is a ripper. It’s been going off with mobs all over from Maloolabah to Kananook to Freo to Tassie.
Legendary stuff.
With a constantly changing lineup, The Black Sorrows have been permanently touch and go. They had been on hiatus for yonks before reforming in 2004 with Joe Camilleri back on vocals and sax and fit as a Mallee bull. They released a handful of cracking albums including Roarin Town, One More Time, Four Days in Sing Sing and 2012’s Crooked Little Thoughts that remembered the golden days of pioneering pub rock.
They’ve been as true to the legacy as ever. They still play their old hits, the timeless ‘Chained to the Wheel’, the shimmying ‘Harley & Rose’ and the sentimental, ‘Never Let Me Go’.
