Kyle Thomas' brainchild and nerd rocking alter ego King Tuff is bound for Australian shores this April. The lo-fi garage pop royalty, has made multiple musical outings in bands such as psych folk outfit Feathers, with garage punks Happy Birthday, and in J Mascis' doom band Witch.

  After an esteemed two and a half decades as one of alternative rock’s most seminal figures, the many musical outlets of Lou Barlow are achieving somewhat of a frenetic singularity.

Lou’s... Read More

The northern stretch of Brunswick Street is a suburban shadow of its former sub-cultural self; around Gertrude Street, Fitzroy's colourful demographic collage remains in residence, as arresting as it is occasionally confronting. Befitting its betwixt and between sociological status, The Workers Club, nee the Rob Roy, has undergone an internal makeover, its once beer-stained walls replaced by a... Read More
