[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]British India – Melbourne’s hardest working sons have been in the game since back in the day. I remember being just a wee grom listening to triple j when Black & White Radio was first getting airtime. I loved the high pressure guitars, the yelled vocals – the whole deal. Back to the present and […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Truth time! The first time I saw Raave Tapes, I wasn’t hooked. I was at Festival of the Sun in Port Macquarie. It was a bloody hot day and I’d just blissed out watching a fantastic, soulful set from Sampa the Great and was looking forward to chilling on the grass late in the afternoon […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”8913″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]To me, a key word for Killer Under a Blood Moon would be reinvention. Dan Sultan plays on the original foundations of his recent album Killer with the input of some of Australian music’s most prominent figures on this new EP. At first glance, I thought each artist would compliment Sultan’s style […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”8651″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text] I’ve always been a fan of British music first and foremost. Ever since rock’n’roll crossed the pond from its birthplace in the US, the British truly mastered it into ways that culminated in groups as legendary as The Beatles all the way up to Radiohead – there’s something so beautiful about […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”8644″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Earlier this month GUM dropped his fourth LP titled The Underdog, an immersive insight into “a day in the life of GUM.” For anyone unaware, GUM is the solo project of Jay Watson from Tame Impala and Pond. My favourite part of this album is the range of emotions it’s able to […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Last week I had the pleasure of chatting to GUM following the release of his latest album The Underdog. For the uninitiated, GUM is the solo project of Tame Impala and Pond member, Jay Watson. Since 2014 he has treated us to four LPs, each with their own distinct personality. Watson describes The Underdog as […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Any true music fan is familiar with the concept of “fangirling.” Whether you were a teeny bopper who lost their shit over Harry Styles and the boys back in the day, or even someone like me – who almost passed out with enthusiasm when he was directly acknowledged by his personal hero Noel Gallagher […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] My first encounter with Harts was back in the Autumn of ’17. Bucketing down outside – the night was a brisk one – yet somehow inside, the venue felt like it was on fire – and by on fire – I mean absolutely ablaze with some of the best music coming out of Australia.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_text_separator title=”22 March, Moonshine”][vc_column_text] So for one reason or another, four-piece Sydney-based garage band Straight Arrows have flooded the airwaves as of late and every time I jump in the car, there they are. When I heard they were playing at my local, Moonshine Bar in Manly’s Hotel Steyne on this unsuspecting rainy Thursday, I […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Thandi Phoenix is a star on the rise who shows no sign of slowing down. Ahead of her performance at SUNSET20°NORTH at Barangaroo tomorrow night, she took the time to speak with us. The first thing one notices when hearing one of Phoenix’s songs is her chillingly beautiful vocal prowess. She has one of those voices […]
