After spending a fair time away, Lime Cordiale made their hometown return with a laid back concert at the Metro Theatre. It was undeniably different to their usual shows, and a little bit less incestuous (if you know, you know). I had seen them before, and their musical talent was astounding. This time around was a more chilled out show, with less theatrics than they typically have. Louis and Oliver Leimbach were sitting on stage with nothing but their acoustic guitars and a backing band.

“OMG GUYS… what if I’m pregnant?” she says to our group of friends, while we are sitting round the table in the living room, sipping at red wine. Everyone giggles and makes jokes about raw sex and “buying her baby clothes”. Her Flo app just notified her that she’s one day late for her period — at most, two. I laugh along, I guess, only because I’m supposed to. Truth be told, I’ve never understood the fear of being pregnant due to a late period.

Disclaimer: The use of the word ‘offender’ is used in the assumption that the incarcerated people being discussed in this article were deemed guilty. Of course, this is not always true when it comes to our criminal justice systems. However, for the case of the article, I have used this word to ensure it reads well and is streamlined in wording. The criminal justice system (CJS) has been a system that has existed in many forms for thousands of years.

When I was eight, I begged my parents for a necklace with the icon of a criminal. Perhaps even the world’s most famous criminal. I was eight when I received a delicate gold crucifix necklace for my birthday. I had a secret envy of the Greek girls in my class and, to me, it was the accessory du jour. If Jesus were around today, I think we would be wearing a t-shirt with his mug shot on it.

Walking into the Loading Dock Theatre at Qtopia to watch one of my highly anticipated shows, Saints of Damour, I did not expect to sit down next to director Anthony Skuse. Upon seeing my notebook, Skuse asked if I was taking notes and I unknowingly responded, “I am reviewing for Honi Soit”. Marking Qtopia’s first entry into theatre production, Saints of Damour is a must-watch for anyone who enjoys theatre and, in particular, local productions.

There I was. I had just finished my shift in Sydney CBD, and I half-ran, half-walked over to the metro. I knew I was going to be slightly late, but that didn’t stop the adrenaline rush through my veins. I had never been to The Roundhouse, and when I eventually got there, I was pleasantly surprised. With a food stand, a bar and an outdoor chill-out area, I knew I was in for a decent night. While I was waiting for the show to begin, drink in hand, I chucked my hair up in a bun.

There was a certain cinematographic energy as I was slowly walking into a theatre with white rays of lights, blurred with smoke, seeping through the wide open doors. The ICC Sydney had never felt so ethereal. Though I didn’t quite catch onto the memo, it was unifying to see the sea of people wearing black and white outfits, a clear indication that the fans know not only the music, but the whole atmosphere that Cigarettes After Sex bring. I chose to go alone.

As soon as I stepped foot in front of the bright, yellow-lit box office at the Enmore Theatre, I knew I was in for a good night. Arriving at the seats myself and my Mum (a major Kasabian fan) had been assigned, I felt the atmosphere from the very beginning; there was a faint buzz coming from all the people who collectively knew what was about to come. Opening the show with a strum of an electric guitar, Jacob Fitzgerald and the Electric City began their set.
