Olivia Newton John : Mickey
0 Comments. 1,309 Views. Posted 25 Jan 2012 @ 3:19pm.
I think ONJ is probably a nice woman, but the disaster of her Toni Basil cover is only paralleled by the disaster that is her plastic surgery. Lifted from the soundtrack to A Few Best Men –a terrifying return to filmmaking by Priscilla director Stephan Elliot – this queer-as-fuck electro house interpretation of the tongue-in-cheek classic is as tacky as the film’s premise.

Justice : Audio, Video, Disco

Justice's † earned them a legion of fans, won over by their dance floor-friendly electro-disco tunes. Their second album Audio, Video, Disco will divide them. Instead of producing another album of easily digestible club bangers, Gaspard Augé and Xavier De Rosay challenge the listener with a harder, prog-rock sound. While this will not please everyone (and perhaps for this... Read More

Did you know there was once a time when Melbourne was to be called Batmania? How fucking awesome is that? Instead, we're left with The Fearless Vampire Killers' equally awesome new record Batmania. To celebrate the album's launch, TFVK are hitting East Brunswick Club for a massive headline show. The album launch comes after the lads' support slot on Lanie Lane's sprawling national tour, which... Read More

The Drums: Portamento

The Drums’ second LP, Portamento, in contrast to their naïve debut, provides a snapshot of a band maturing. This album is heavier, darker and sadder, but manages to retain the fun at the core of the Drums’ music. Although it deals largely with themes of loss, loneliness and futility, the album somehow remains highly danceable and the highly stylised Drums’ sound persists. Their infectious toy-... Read More

Not too long ago in a suburban house in quiet, leafy Montmorency, Wally De Backer was rehearsing drums for his high school band, Downstares. An elderly neighbour had been listening to these rehearsals for years. When his wife died, he gave De Backer his late wife’s large record collection. Around this time, Downstares broke up, leaving percussionist De Backer without a musical outlet. With the... Read More

Melodie Nelson: Meditations On The Sun

The stage name Melodie Nelson may be a reference to Serge Gainsbourg but the debut solo effort from Sydney’s Lia Tsamoglou is more the vein of Phil Spector. Waiting is the kind of bleary-eyed introductory song that gently pulls you into the album proper, but there are several other songs on this album that would work as a salute to the sun just as aptly - as the album title suggests, the sun...

Beni Announces Debut Album

Sometimes there are those artists that no one can ever really understand, and that fact in itself adds to their appeal. So complex they seem at times, that – in a way – they might even be seen as some sort of enigma. Beni is one of those artists. So to put it easily, trying to wrap your mind around him is like trying to get grip on a ghost.   He's a man that has lived a thousand lives, a... Read More

Ganga Giri : Good Voodoo

Tracing all the way back to 1997 with his work as Manic Organic, Good Voodoo is the seventh studio release from Aussie Ganga Giri. A techno-tribal cavalcade of earthen instrumentation and worldly vision, speared directly at the dancefloor, Good Voodoo should get you moving whether you like to stomp around in fields or strut about in heels. It is quite impressive that the thumping tribal... Read More

Tracy McNeil

While Tracy McNeil came relatively late to musical performance, in hindsight it's almost inevitable that she should find herself standing on a stage with a guitar, a rich singing voice and a bag full of tunes. "My mom and dad were both musicians in Canada, so there was always music in the house" McNeil recalls. "They broke up when I was about three - mom played in dad's band, and when they split...

Ponytail : Do Whatever You Want All Of the Time

‘Why? I don’t know why!’ shouts Ponytail mouthpiece Molly Siegel on their new album opener Easy Peasy, a sentiment repeated throughout the album. Well, at least that’s what I think she’s saying - ‘Why?’ could just as easily be or is it ‘One!” or ‘Waaap!’. Whatever. It’s good advice and it’s best not to question it. You’re screwed without a lyric sheet when it comes to a Ponytail album, so you may... Read More
