Q&A: The Sunday Reeds
0 Comments. 994 Views. Posted 16 Feb 2012 @ 9:06am.
  What’s your name then? Oh. And the name of your band… My name is Romana Ashton and the name of the band is The Sunday Reeds   And what do you do? I'm the front person and I'm a singer/songwriter.   When did you start doing that? I've been singing and playing music for as long as I can remember. I started writing songs when I was about 15. I am a founding member of The Sunday... Read More
Floating Me

  Normal bands first get together, maybe release an EP or two, then unleash the ever-important debut album... Floating Me is not a normal or average band in any sense of the word, with its members opting to do things the opposite way by conceptualising their first record, then officially proclaiming themselves a collective. Frontman, and ex-Scary Mother vocalist, Andrew Gillespie explains... Read More
The Naked & Famous

Listening to The Naked & Famous' track Young Blood makes me feel young and cool. I was at a 30th doing horsey bombs into a pool while the song was playing and although I seemed like a ridiculous try-hard, it was fucking rad. A doctor said to me once, "Running naked under a sprinkler is fun when you're a little kid but you grow out of it," and I was like, "Where's the nearest... Read More
Q&A: Waverley

Name/Band: Waverley.   Define your genre in five words or less: Fun, High Energy Grunge.   So, someone is walking past as you guys are playing, they then go get a beer and tell their friend about you... what do they say? “Just saw a kick-arse gig going down in the bandroom, they just finished their second song. They sound kind of like a heavier Jebediah with more harmonies, and I... Read More
Phinesse, Solo Rebirth: Breaking New Grounds

"I think I'm kind of a competitive person. When they wrote a good song, I wanted to write a better song." David Devine aka Phinesse is clearly buzzing as I speak to him early on a Monday morning. With the weekend already in the past, Devine is looking forward to the week and ahead and is busy readying himself for his appearance at Winterbeatz. With the line-up including former collaborator 50... Read More
Tonite Only Tour

After a break that began in 2006, the duo behind Australia's own Tonite Only, Sam Littlemore and Simon Lewicki got electro-heads all in a tizzy with their comeback single from last year We Run the Nite.  Guess what? It gets better – after their killer shows at Creamfields this year, they’ve just announced an upcoming journey back down to Australian shores with an impressive list of dates... Read More
Tim & Jean

While some have already pigeonholed electronica sensation Tim & Jean into the MGMT and Passion Pit box, one half of the duo, Jean Capotorto, claims critics are getting a little ahead of themselves. To prove them wrong, the pair are currently planning a brand new album which is set to surprise both the nay-sayers and the fans alike. “We’ve been sitting on this album [Like What] since October...

The Presets

It was a bit after the turn of the millennium that The Presets turned Australian dance music on it's head. There was some who came before - and no doubt plenty who will come after - but Sydney boys Julian Hamilton and Kim Moyes nailed a pop slash electro niche that has since seen them deliver a message to millions of feet around the world - as well as thousands of proud Australians....

Devildriver

California's Devildriver have never exactly been the shrinking violet type of band. But their new album, happily titled Beast , takes the piledriving element of their music a step further again. To pun very poorly, it's an absolute animal of an album, and obviously very appropriately titled. It veritably bursts out of the speakers with, dare I say it, animalistic fury, and... Read More
The Rapture

I had been drinking heavily at a BBQ before heading to The Corner, so I’m surprised I didn’t enjoy the support band on alcohol-fuelled excitement alone. Strange Talk were a talented group but offered nothing original, and I know this because of the notes I left on my phone, which included “Is this a Phoenix cover-band?” and “I think the lead singer is having a...

Iggy & The Stooges
0 Comments. 1,443 Views. Posted 25 Jan 2011 @ 3:00pm.
Please Kill Me , Legs McNeill and Gillian McCann’s oral history of the abrasive edge of American rock ’n’ roll centred in New York City, offers a salacious narrative of the genesis and evolution of punk rock. Tales of drug excess bleed into escapades of sexual perversion, egotistical wrangles and mindless fuck-ups. The chapters devoted to The Stooges fall into two... Read More
