It's no secret that the past year hasn't been the best year for live music. While Brisbane was not as badly affected as other areas, the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic continue to be felt. Snap lockdowns meant cancelled gigs at very short notice for local bands, and the closure of the Queensland border for most of the year meant very few interstate acts were able to tour. Still, Live Delay has persisted, bringing you previously unheard sets from the vault to bring you your live music fix. Featuring highlights from The Mouldy Lovers, Madboots, May Lyn, Velociraptor, MC Triks, Majestic Horses, The Jensens + Luminescence, PYNES, RAT!hammock, The Double Happiness, Rivermouth, Jamie Hutchings, Captain Dreamboat and Emily Wurramara.
