Define your genre in five words or less: Philosophical Psychedelic Holst orientated asteroid   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? "Is it possible for Fascism to re-emerge?" said Jefferey. "Why so?" replied his friend at the bar. Jefferey replied, "Because I feel the need to stamp... Read More

I don’t know about all of you, but there’s just something about an Irish accent that I can’t resist – especially when they’re cracking a wise-ass joke or two. Hailing from one of the “most depressing parts of the world” (his words, not mine), Irishman, David O’Doherty, returned to Melbourne to present a new series of sung life stories and rants. And believe me, there were plenty. The majority of... Read More

How many kids can you name who, at the ripe age of 21, are delivering troubadour ruminations worthy of the UK's folk heritage? Thomas Calder, the lad behind The Trouble With Templeton, and his chilling folk does just that. Despite hailing from sunny Brisbane, his sincere grain and earnest guitar-plucking is closer to an English singer-songwriter sensibility. If The Trouble With Templeton is the... Read More
Ben Lee : Deeper Into Dream

Ben Lee’s music is best when he has something to prove. Breathing Tornadoes was Lee’s attempt to show the Australian music industry he wasn’t just a boy wonder while Awake is the New Sleep was proof he didn’t need a record label or a precocious image to achieve mainstream success. So with nothing to fight against, how then does his newest album Deeper into Dream stack up? The answer is that Ben... Read More
Bear Hands: Burning Bush Supper Club

Hailing from the same school of Brooklyn rock as MGMT, Bear Hands are yet another nasally-vocalled, guitar chugging, funk-infused, psychedelic rock outfit. While they’re hardly trail-blazing, this four-piece show great promise with this fiery, if slightly inconsistent, debut album. Dylan Rau wrote around 70 songs when he instigated the band, but it has taken a while for the spoils to see the... Read More
The Hidden Venture - Saturday August 27, Brunswick Hotel

Arriving late to the venue, I discovered support act The Ovals had whipped their fans into some rock stomping with their blend of stoner rock riffing, psychedelic keyboards and extended sections of prog noodling; all in a track "inspired by Homer's The Odyssey". But of course… It was an ominous precursor for the energetic headliners to come. Having survived their own prog exodus, The... Read More

When you hear the name Eskimo Joe you might think From The Sea, you might think Black Fingernails, Red Wine. Hell, you might even think as far back as Turn Up Your Stereo. But the Perth trio are back with their fifth studio album, Ghosts Of The Past. An album which the band themselves sayis Eskimo Joe. From the beginning of the record, you can automatically feel that... Read More

There's a saying that 'everything's changed but nothing's different', reflects Tania Doko of Bachelor Girl, and that just about sums up the scenario in which she and musical partner James Roche currently find themselves in. Eight years after the Australian pop sensation called it a day, Bachelor Girl are back with a bang - an upcoming mini tour, a compilation record of old favourites and a brand... Read More
