The New Black in Brisbane

Australia’s eastern coast is a beautiful place to go to dream, letting all the worries and responsibilities of the world fall away and to surround yourself with great gorgeous nature.  Creeks and hills run all through Brisbane, speaking of an idyllic place and time, that somehow seems out of sync with such a lively urban center.  There are many splendid contradictions here that move almost toward the absurd, and it’s reflected in the generous sense of humor that the locals all seem to share.  The city itself is really magnificent, large enough to make for a fantastic place to getaway, but still small enough that you can leave here feeling like you’ve had a taste of the real Brisbane.  There are a host of attractions and exciting events to keep your itinerary packed, or, if you like, you can keep the schedule very loose and enjoy all the things that might come up while you’re here.  It’s also a splendid place to come and do nothing.

There’s something for everyone when it comes to accommodations in Brisbane.  Boutique hotels are a fantastic choice for those looking for lodgings that cater to individual sensibilities, but still offer a sense of the city’s unique and very charming style.  It’s always lovely to wake up in surroundings where there is great attention to detail, and an attempt to offer a sense of the local atmosphere.  Brisbane is a fascinating place in general, with a long, interesting history, where multiple populations and cultures have come to stay over the centuries.  In the recent decades, it’s been at the cutting edges of world culture, and has had a stunning history as a major player in the music scene.  This might all come to an end when Short Stack comes to play.

Kidding, really.  Short Stack is a wild and raving new band in Australia that’s had a lot of good reviews, and a lot of pans, and the group is rising fast with an enormous sense of humor that is perfectly suited to Brisbane.  Their Stack is the New Black tour is playing in all the big cities, and has been anticipated with a number of good reasons.  The band is already well known for bringing back big hair and makeup, and offers spectacle that is designed to appeal to the preteen set, but with a tongue-in-cheekness that’s also got enormous appeal to a host of post-ironic 20 and 30-somethings.  The music is loud and bold, and it’s written for a pop audience, but it’s also extremely cool, with an edge of madness that suggests these boys could have a lot more to say when the first blush is over.
