I’ve been fortunate enough to know and love the members of IVEY since their early days. Lead vocalist Millie Perks was only 13 when they first started performing – some of their first few shows were performed at my high school!” After releasing a banger of an EP – Gorgeous – the Gold Coast-based band is in the midst of a nation-wide tour.

Sydney’s The Lansdowne is an oasis of top-quality music in Sydney’s overpriced inner-city trendy-bar scene. Last Thursday it welcomed the EP launch for Tia Gostelow’s debut album Thick Skin. With rock-n-roll in its essence, the shabby-chic venue was fitting for the Far North Queenslander to bring her indie folk-rock sounds to Sydney. Rough around the […]
“I’m kind of a Sydney scene apologist…” Papaya Tree are a fresh offering in Sydney’s music scene. Despite the fruity connotations, the name Papaya Tree is actually a play on the legal term ‘Proprietary Limited’. “I don’t think I’ve ever had Papaya in my life,” says lead singer, Lee McDermott.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]It seems as though just about every single time I have written for Lunchbox, I have only ever written about punk or hard rock bands. This makes sense given that all of my life I have been drawn to artists such as this. I’ve just always found that something about this particular style of music […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] My first encounter with Harts was back in the Autumn of ’17.
