Intrigue seemed to be the overriding theme going into Sunday night's Transvision Vamp show at the King Street Bandroom.
After 35 years, the UK pop-rock sensation announced their reformation last year, with iconic frontwoman Wendy James at the helm alongside original bassist Dave Parsons.
The line-up was rounded out by new touring members, Thurston Moore collaborator Alex Ward (guitar), Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' Jim Sclavunos (drums), and Matt Millership (keys).
Interestingly, Transvision Vamp chose Australia to host their first live shows since 1991, and Newcastle was the fourth gig of their comeback.
Review: Transvision Vamp @ The Triffid (Brisbane)
A rainy Thursday night in Brisbane didn't present any hurdles for the adoring throng.
Streams of fans poured in quicker than the clouds could release the rain. The neon reflections in the puddles created a scene like something out of a 1980s rock video. Same era rock-pop icons, Transvision Vamp always had a knack of getting a person off the couch and onto their dancing feet.
The eager crowd brought the same passion as they would no doubt have had during their younger years. The energy of teenagers with a small cassette tape deck stereo in the bedroom or parading at school 'civvies' days in their new Transvision Vamp t-shirt was palpable.

Wendy James returned to Sydney “dressed in pink” with her band Transvision Vamp and delivered a classic set of her 1980s pop punk classics including “I Want Your Love” and “Baby I Don’t Care”.
A packed Enmore Theatre reacted with enthusiasm, lead singer Wendy clearly enjoying the ride, the band was super tight and 80s nostalgia was back at the Enmore Theatre.
