Devin Townsend was a music marvel and comedic goofball in one when he came to Thornbury Theatre
We reviewed one of his last Australian tours as follows:
“His voice, though having no doubt copped a testing on tour, wielded a booming strength that left even the most restless attendee in awe, and his face became a myriad of dynamic contortions. Hyperdrive and March Of The Poozers – tracks taken from the imaginative universe of his coffee-loving alien-invader character, Ziltoid – charged the room with an ecstatic, gleeful electricity.
“Amidst the theatricality, something perturbed Townsend. A lot was on his mind – a strange feeling bought on by the uncertainty of recent world events that he couldn’t seem to shake that day. Despite this, he never slowed – if anything, it provided him with drive and resolve to harness even more magic, tearing head-first into Deadhead.
“What separates Townsend from other performers in his field is a distinctly genuine and wholly unique presence; he’s both honest and amicable, with an incredible appreciation for his craft. He chatted with audience members between songs, and unfurled any thoughts on his mind at the time. He was an effortlessly-hilarious, poignant soul that also happens to be incredible at rocking out, and he’s earned a devoted legion of fans for it.”
