Spacious BBQ restaurant Located in Moorabbin, Big Pig Canteen is a spacious warehouse type BBQ restaurant. It’s a popular spot, so despite its size booking is recommended on busier evenings (weekends and such). Its dark, somewhat industrialised interior is reminiscent of Collingwood breweries, and it’s a family friendly venue, so expect lots of little ones […] The post Review: Big Pig Canteen, Moorabbin appeared first on Suzie Scribbles ..read more

Rock stars you want your daughters to look up to. I stumbled across the Buoys by accident when they were supporting one of those rock bands I generally like. One glimpse at lead singer Zoe’s infectious stage presence and the band’s (Courtney, Hilary and Tess) impressive musicianship and I was hooked! Most up and coming […] The post Album Review: The Buoys – Lustre appeared first on Suzie Scribbles ..read more

Kasabian’s latest album ‘Happenings’ is an intriguing journey into where the band is going. I think you have to make a conscious distinction between Kasabian the band with Tom, and Kasabian the band without Tom. Don’t get me wrong, their reasons for moving ahead without Tom are completely valid and I fully support them, but it’s […] The post Album Review: Kasabian – Happenings appeared first on Suzie Scribbles ..read more

What to order at Daniel’s Donuts. We were super excited to discover that Daniel’s Donuts had recently opened a branch in nearby Elsternwick and we couldn’t wait to give it a visit. Now we think we’ve got our Daniel’s 6 pack order down pat, so we thought we’d share our favourites. Here’s what we suggest […] The post Review: Daniel’s Donuts appeared first on Suzie Scribbles ..read more

Sea Girls eagerly anticipated new album Midnight Butterflies has just dropped. Sea Girls are a British indie rock band formed in 2015. Upon discovering that their name came from a misheard Nick Cave lyric, I decided they were my kind of people and gave them a listen. They’ve now risen to one of my top […] The post Album Review: Sea Girls – Midnight Butterflies appeared first on Suzie Scribbles ..read more

A fresh venture Finally able to put their stamp on their own space, Hop and Spice’s new Ascot Vale restaurant is a step up from their original venue (still open, read about it here) in Braybrook. Their newest venture is warmly lit with orange undertones throughout, and a simple brick facade completes the clean new […] The post Review: Hop and Spice, Ascot Vale appeared first on Suzie Scribbles ..read more

Patrick Savage (violin) and Konrad Olszewski (piano) come to Melbourne’s Recital Centre performing a collection of pieces ‘Unveiled: Icons of Cinema’. Situated in the intimate Primrose Potter Salon, the recital featured music from Patrick’s recently released CD ‘ The Golden Age of Hollywood: Concert Works for Violin and Piano’. The first half of the performance […] The post Patrick Savage: Icons of Cinema appeared first on Suzie Scribbles ..read more

  A local mainstay Fat Bob’s is a Moorabbin stalwart, which I’m embarrassed to say we only just visited for the first time this weekend! Fat Bob’s is a self confessed Man Cave, and its grungy dive bar feel with walls adorned with neon signs feels a million miles away from its unassuming exterior, tucked […] The post Review: Fat Bob’s Burgers, Moorabbin appeared first on Suzie Scribbles ..read more

The Vaccines and Everything Everything, Forum Melbourne (9th May 2024) Thursday night brought the Vaccines and Everything Everything to Melbourne’s Forum (my favourite live music venue) for a joint headliner. Local act Kitschen Boy opened the evening, and while it’s clear this was likely one of their biggest venues to date, they brought good energy […] The post Review: The Vaccines and Everything Everything, Forum Melbourne appeared first on Suzie Scribbles ..read more

Another album I was hugely excited for this year was the Zutons ‘The Big Decider’. I still listen to ‘Tired of Hanging Around’ pretty regularly, so I was nervous how this almost 20 year gap would be bridged, but a few bars into The Big Decider’s opening track ‘Creeping on the Dance Floor’ and it […] The post Album Review: The Zutons – The Big Decider appeared first on Suzie Scribbles ..read more
