This week's LIVE Party Pics were all about music.
The Triple J Hottest 100 Party at Merewether Bowling Club was a popular way to celebrate Australia Day in Newcastle. Herald photographer Simone De Peak was there to capture people enjoying the sounds and the atmosphere.
The following day, Sydney-based band Chicks Who Love Guns performed at the Great Northern Hotel and there's plenty of pictures from Peter Stoop to check out.
