Q&A: El Moth
0 Comments. 107 Views. Posted 1 May 2012 @ 11:16am.
So then, what’s the band name and what do you ‘do’ in the band? El Moth – a lot of inexplicable extra-curricular activities with a healthy dose of music on the side. What do you reckon people will say you sound like? Better than nails down a chalkboard, these guys are actually alright for a bunch of drunks (minus Leon, he's a good boy!) What do you love about making music? Music is incredibly... Read More

  Anyone who had the first edition of SingStar will be familiar with the hit song I Believe In A Thing Called Love performed by British glam rock band, The Darkness. Any bona fide fans of The Darkness will also know that they have been off the map for damn near six years now. Throw in some rock star drama including drug addictions, band break ups and rehab; it is clear to see the hiatus was... Read More

Alma Mater

  The realm of childhood is a liminal zone. Unable to fend for ourselves, we are beholden to adults to teach us about the world. Our character, our worldview and our values are already beginning to take shape, many aspects of which will stay with us through our maturity. And yet once we are fully grown, our memories of these formative years remain largely out of reach. UK performance duo... 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
Circa Survive

  Band names can be funny things, and the way bands come up with them can be just as curious. Sometimes they just appear and everyone in the band agrees (although it's safe to assume this is pretty rare.) Sometimes they come after a drunken night raiding dictionaries, thesaurus' and other similar reference works. Occasionally band members throw words into a hat and draw them out. And in the...

Neon Indian

2011 was a busy year for Alan Palomo of Neon Indian fame, and if his recent New Year’s Eve celebrations are anything to go by, 2012 looks to be just as jam packed. “I played on New Year’s Eve in Dallas,” Palomo begins when asked how he rang in the beginning of 2012. “It was a crazy rave in downtown Dallas with Diplo and Girl Talk and some others. It was a lot of fun. I ended up having an early... Read More

It's around 6pm on the last day of 2011 at a sun-drenched amphitheatre at Falls Festival in Lorne. A gathering of a few hundred punters are bent down on one knee, pointing directly at a prematurely-risen moon, reciting a harrowing poem dictated to them by one Dan Deacon. It's an entrancing power which Dan invariably permeates within each and every one of his renowned live sets, dishing out... Read More

Eddy Current Suppression Ring : So Many Things
0 Comments. 1,285 Views. Posted 13 Dec 2011 @ 2:57pm.
Eddy Current Suppression Ring are the greatest Australian band of the past decade. Is that the consensus? Did they end up cracking the mainstream? "They're playing Eddy Current at the football. You would like," read the text from my sister at quarter time at this year's first preliminary final. Have they in fact risen to the ranks of lowest common denominator, adrenaline/testosterone pumping... Read More

In Time

So, what is your time worth? This new sci-fi thriller comes from New Zealand born filmmaker Andrew Niccol, who wrote The Truman Show and directed Gattaca and Lord Of War. It is set in the near future, where everyone is genetically programmed to stop aging at 25, rather like Logan’s Run revisited, which adds a neat twist to the “race against time” thriller device. After your 25th birthday, you... Read More

We all love Marty McFly and his badass antics, and now everyone has the opportunity to relive the magic of all three Back To The Future movies this weekend.  This will be the first time that the entire trilogy will be presented on the big screen in a very long time.

Not even their hosts, Future Music Festival, were planning on making an announcement this early, considering that Future’s string of dates are still about six months away. That said, sometimes when you get a tasty little bit of news you can’t help but share it with everyone – and man, this one’s good. New York’s art-punk rockers The Rapture have confirmed that they’re heading back yet again to... Read More

When I think about collaborating with my sister, I generally think in terms of wardrobe. That isn't the case with the Barnett sisters! Kirilly and Lucinda present Collect + Combine, an exhibition that explored the sometimes obsessive and at times nostalgic nature of collecting and hoarding. The exhibition reveals how deeply personal hobbies and habits impact on four young artists' practice,... Read More

John Askew

John Askew's quiet morning is being dominated by a side to the music industry with which he is far from enamoured. Having put in the hard yards to get to the top of tech-trance table, he has lost interest in playing the game in order to keep a profile. As a result, conducting interviews at ridiculously early hours is far from appealing. With other jobs that should, in his eyes, take precedence,... Read More
WIM

The album launch for WIM's debut self-titled full-length in their hometown of Sydney was an extravagant affair to say the least. Held at the Paddington Uniting Church, the band transformed the entire interior of the venue into a flower and vine covered wonderland as well as enlisting the services of a five piece choir to join them on stage. It's fair to say that the band has become well known for... Read More

Nawww doesn't it make you just want to hug a fluffy toy? The cutest little penguin ever washed up on the shores of New Zealand a few months ago and melted the insides of the nation. This poor flightless bird, nicknamed Happy Feet, had no idea where it had turned up. It nommed on sand and rocks by accident, causing serious health risks that needed vet attention.

So then, what's the band name and what you 'do' in the band? "JJSymon+1" - I play the part of JJ Symon and co-ordinate the +1   Bearing the terrible clichéd nature of this question, what do you reckon people will say you sound like? I hope they say "a raw, folky, rhythm n blues two-piece with great tunes who play with energetic abandonment"…but any clichéd compliment will do.   What... Read More
