  So then when did you start playing? I’ve been playing guitar for about 10 years.

He doesn't sound like a 61-year-old man, be it conversationally or musically. He's disarmingly modest and polite: even though Nick Lowe wrote (What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding , to this day he isn't bothered a whit that it's credited to Elvis Costello. He was in the thick of punk and new wave, but never let himself be identified with either movement, even though he... Read More

A long time ago in a musical and social galaxy far away, there was a tall, wiry kid from Brisbane called Greg Perkins. Greg loved his country music, so much so that his friends took to calling him Tex. When Perkins moved south to Sydney to escape the boredom and draconian political atmosphere of Joh Bjelke-Peterson's conservative government, Perkins took both his love with country music and his...

Hollie Fullbrook - aka Tiny Ruins - is most intrigued by individuals who are fearlessly peculiar. Such intrigue exudes charm and diversity into Tiny Ruins' enchanting debut album, Some Were Meant For Sea . A song about balloon-flying priest, Adelir de Carli, and ballet-trained traffic controllers, though, finds an avenue for existential examination amidst its otherworldly realm. "I'm always...
