Bobby Byrd once exclaimed that he knew you had soul. This statement obviously was not aimed at the majority of Brisbane, but elitism aside, thanks to Footstomp Music our city gets the chance to reclaim some motown spirit during the second Respect event.
Playing a range of soulful numbers throughout the night, ranging from general soul, funk, rhythm and blues, motown classics and rock ‘n roll, last event's sell-out status is sure to repeat itself, so swing by the Troubadour this Friday to get on up to the passionate sounds of a bygone era.

Baltimore girlfriend/boyfriend duo Beach House have achieved an increasingly difficult feat; they've created a sound that is both instantly recognisable yet entirely new. Like a new buddy at a party you feellike you've known for years. Their second album, Devotion, combines the atmosphere of David Lynch's creepy small town Americana with the fifties girl groups on Quaaludes.
Our little gifted cherubs are back, riding in on flames of glory from their new home in the south, they return to shower us in piñata, songs and literature. From fiction to non-fiction, from hip-hop to pop-punk this magazine launch frankly has it all... Except me (they didn't publish my story on vending machine karma many moons ago - bitches).
