Reviews and news that doesn't fit anywhere else
We recently reviewed Ovo, currently touring Australia.

I was supposed to be writing this on the Tuesday. Instead, I am writing this on a Thursday. And I can only blame it on myself. I wanted to check out of the hotel on the Tuesday, but I just couldn’t get myself to do it.
