Loon Lake

“Shaky feet but solid ground / Everyone’s on Valium and there’s no one around” was an anthemic line for my 2012. Loon Lake’s single Cherry Lipsinvited listeners into their lazily hip-shot world of guitars, jeans, bare feet, simple drums and telling dumb stories while sitting astride the twisted branch of a tea tree. That last bit is because the five-piece are skilled at taking your hand and... Read More

Sharon Lafaye Jones has undeniable style and swagger, and is completely unafraid to call out today's trending stars for their temporality. The frontwoman of Brooklyn's Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings has seen a lot of styles come and go, and she's... Read More
The Red Eyes

At last year’s awesome Queenscliff Music Festival, The Red Eyes proved to be a magnetic presence as the dubtastic behemoth wowed an ever-expanding afternoon audience of revellers with their awe-inspiring reggae grooves. Building from a laid-back vibe, they tactically raised the intensity as the tent became more populated and they worked the audience with an expertise gained from years of live... Read More

Jeff Parker is relaxing at his Chicago home, hanging out with his kids after a day spent museum-hopping. It takes awhile to get the guitarist for avant-garde act Tortoise to discuss his band, after touching on Chicago’s museum and culinary history. You can understand why Parker wouldn’t want to dive into a lengthy discussion about Tortoise; their camp has been relatively quiet as of late. They’ve... Read More

The waterfalls of shiny hair were flowing gorgeously from the get-go on Thursday night, as Band Of Skulls opened with single Sweet Sour to their sold-out audience. This was a particularly hot and fun audience too, except for the chick who couldn’t see over my hair (advice: if you get yourself a ‘good spot’ half an hour before the band is on and stand on that square foot of carpet like a dead...

Mistletone Fright Night, Friday January 13, The Corner

  For a dude that’s done nothing but incredibly cool shit over the past year, Sydney’s Jonti still possesses one hell of a dorky disposition. Performing from the Swan St side of the bandroom (what’s usually The Corner’s DJ booth was transformed into a full-on second stage for the evening), Jonti crafted a fine set of dance jams with his vintage synth-led setup. Signing off, he played the... Read More

Swervedriver at The Corner Hotel

The last time I saw Swervedriver you could count the punters in the audience on two hands. It was in Dunedin - to many, New Zealand's home of indie rock, given its association with Flying Nun. I remember feeling ashamed that we'd mustered such a shit turn out. The band, however, seemed entirely unaffected by this; they were just blissing out to their own cosmic assault of effects-...
