TISM | PICA | Melbourne | 2nd May
TISM’s PICA show was not only a grand celebration of Melbourne music culture, but also a wonderful culmination of a career spanning 4 decades that truly made the most of the opportunity they had given the capabilities of the venue.
The Plot In You | PICA
Accompanied only by a lamp, dimly swaying above his head and an acoustic guitar, the somber lyrics “I used to seek violence, but now I use silence,” sent a shiver down my spine. As the second chorus hit, the rest of the instrumentals swung back in, a cinematic moment being encapsulated in a set like this makes for something you will never forget.
Evanescence | PICA Melbourne
As the lights came up and people began to leave, something lingered in the air. A warmth that was hard to describe. Seeing Evanescence in a venue like PICA felt almost sacred, a reminder of why music stays with us long after the final note fades. It bridges generations, connects strangers, and fills a room with something that words can never fully capture.
