  As y'all are probably aware, we're pretty goddamn great when it comes to tipping just who will grace the bills at our major festivals. Here we take a look at just who might be gracing the eagerly anticipated Splendour In The Grass 2012 lineup. Of course, we already have confirmation of Zulu Winter. We can rule out Stone Roses, though they would be a good fit for Splendour's Anglo-tinged... Read More

Yes, Australia’s most innovative, original, controversial, cheeky and fun film festival is back for another year, and applications are now open for any of you budding filmmakers to get your work in and quite possibly have it chosen to be shown at this year’s official MUFF event.  All you need to do?

AC Slater

  West Virginia in the good old U.S of A isn’t exactly what you’d call electronic musical heartland. But Aaron Slater is trying to change all that. Indeed, music runs in his blood. He’s always been a fan with unusually eclectic taste, for keeping things different is his very modus operandi.   “It has really weaved around a little bit for me – music that is,” he says in retrospect from...

Aw, man – who else has got their tickets to Espionage with the likes of Hudson Mohawke, Rustie and Balam Acab at Roxanne Parlour later this month?  Regardless of whether you do or don’t, the recently announced news of an extra guest at what will undoubtedly be one of the hottest parties of the year will get your heart beating that little bit faster. Dominican-Guatemalan hip-hop and beats... Read More

The Charge

The Charge are a tricky band to pin down. Sure, there are elements of grunge which reveal themselves quite readily - imagine an unholy Chimera featuring parts of Alice In Chains, Nirvana and Soundgarden, mixed with earlier and later sounds of Sabbath, Mastodon and QOTSA - but that doesn't tell the whole story. There's a uniqueness and directness to their compositions and delivery which definitely... Read More

Spank Rock

Though keeping busy over the past few years with a series of collaborations and extracurricular projects, it's still been half a decade since we last heard a fully-formed studio effort from Spank Rock. Since then debut album YoYoYoYoYo has gone on to influence a whole new generation of artists, as well as making its presence felt on recent mainstream releases. The man himself, Naeem... Read More

WBYK

"WBYK began in 2006 making screen printed band posters. It was something we both worked on at night after we finished our day jobs. Now it is our day job. We have other things we do at night now." Sonny Day and Biddy Maroney are living the dream. So many people wish that their hobby could be a self-sustaining career move, but so few realise that dream. The Newtown, Sydney based duo started out in... Read More

Although many more ladies have formed or joined bands in the last ten years or so, rock music still has somewhat of a 'boys club' feel to it. The majority of modern rock bands are still all-male, or at least male dominated. It's still fairly rare to see female members in rock bands and to find all-female bands playing hard rock is even more of an oddity. There are, of course, a few bands... Read More

The Drones - Thursday October 13, The Corner
0 Comments. 1,170 Views. Posted 25 Oct 2011 @ 11:14am.
Why has our mere year-long depravation of Drones felt like an eternity? We've been gifted a run of more than consolatory solo projects in the meantime, but the Australian music landscape just wasn't the same without The Drones. Thankfully the tour celebrating the launch of new live DVD A Thousand Mistakes looks like the beginning of a more absolute return of the group as a collective... Read More

Dinner Review: Grumpy's Green
0 Comments. 1,433 Views. Posted 11 Oct 2011 @ 9:28am.
Grumpy's Green is tucked away in that grey area of Smith Street where gentrification has taken hold exactly the right amount - you can take your pick of delightful cosy little bars and still get shived on your way to the ATM. The decor is tasteful, fun and a little bit quirky. The menus are printed inside vintage children's story books. The lighting is nice, the staff are friendly but... Read More

We The Kings: Sunshine State Of Mind
0 Comments. 1,118 Views. Posted 29 Sep 2011 @ 9:29am.
Florida's We The Kings have always dwelt in a somewhat lonely corner of the music world. Singer Travis Clark is pretty enough to be a heart-throb for the teen crowd, and their pop melodies are plenty radio friendly, but there's also an alternative rock or pop-punk edge to their sound, and maybe even something a little bit 1970s cowboy-shirt pop for the older crowd to latch onto. Sunshine State... Read More

Tom Showtime

"Ah that's confidential... I'm not supposed to talk about it!" Tom Gaden aka Tom Showtime is sworn to secrecy. While the producer, DJ and saxophonist may be one of the highlights of The Galley Room's new night Saturday Confidential, he is not at liberty to discuss fully what the potential punters might expect from the night.  However, after a little bit of probing, he sticks to the press...

Seth Troxler

Seth Troxler hates himself. And his biography captures it brilliantly - whether he is DJing in LA, Berlin, or Buenos Aires, his evening usually ends in a corner somewhere, his head in his hands, his hands running through his hair, his eyes staring at the ground and his conceptually-rich mind wondering why all of us, not just those in the world of house and techno, don't see it: his immeasurable...

Jeff Bridges : What A Little Bit Of Love Can Do

Yeah, the actor. I have always somewhat loved him, in that Guy Garvey, I want-to-sleep-with-my-dad kind of way, but that doesn't mean I can rubber stamp his musical ambitions. I think there's something here, though, something catchy and adorable in this corn-fried country song, something weirdly likeable in his reverb-drenched twang. And plus also, he's singing about sexual healing, Jeff... Read More
