These guys... these guys. The Smash are back from their overseas sojourn and sure put on a shit-hot show at The Corner on Friday, to say heyo and launch their new album Dancing For The Girl. “This goes out to anybody, anybody who was forced to learn a wind instrument as a child,” frontman Marc Lucchesi hollered before busting out his disco flute. The guy has a new hairdo which is very smooth.... Read More
Boris

Originally borne out of the Tokyo hardcore punk scene in the early ‘90s, Japanese three-piece Boris are a band that doesn’t screw around when it comes to pushing the envelope of musical alchemy. For much of their storied career (and fruitful as well – they’ve released nearly 20 albums!), they’ve stood defiantly in the face of popular culture and disposable music to create a sound that is...

Japandroids

It’s in the live setting where Japandroids, and their arsenal of two LPs and two EPs, truly flourish. Australian audiences weren’t privy to the experience until the start of 2013, well after the band broke through with the debut Post-Nothing and the all-conquering anthem Young Hearts Spark Fire. But the Canadian duo have more than made up for their tardiness, following up an... Read More

Toy

If the lessons of postmodernism are correct, and language does indeed create social reality, calling your band TOY – including the deliberate capitalisation – is going to lead to an immediate, and potentially misleading inference on the band’s music. Is it, for example, a band specialising in performing children’s songs, or possibly an act deriving its influence from the antics of Buzz Lightyear... Read More

You might be forgiven for thinking that deathcore group Thy Art Is Murder is just another local band from Campbelltown. But don’t be fooled – they’re currently ranked in Metal Hammer’s top five ‘must see’ new bands in the world. The five-piece is about to embark on its biggest tour ever – “four months of chaos” across Australia and Europe. Frontman Chris McMahon is blown away by the hype,... Read More

Long-running Californian garage-soul band The Bellrays are survivors. They’ve ridden the vagaries of the music industry through good times and bad, always able to fall back on their golden ticket: An incendiary live show. Ahead of the long-delayed Australian release of new album Black Lightning and an accompanying tour, lead singer Lisa Kekuala discussed the band’s ups and downs, and... Read More
Vaudeville Smash

Melbourne four-piece Vaudeville Smash have become somewhat of a live institution in the same way that ten years before them The Cat Empire had an enormous live following before they made an impact on the charts. Well, after a year in the studio, multiple overseas tours including last month’s Music Matters conference, Vaudeville Smash have just released what many consider their breakthrough album... Read More

“We’re just in the living room, man. The finals are on, so we’re catching as much ball as possible in between – and during – today’s interviews.” It’s a frank – but not entirely unexpected – admission from Nathan Williams, who forms one third of the creative core of American band Wavves. Williams and his band mate Stephen Pope are watching game six of the NBA encounter between Los Angeles... Read More

It's a match made in Oz music heaven: one of our funkiest, bluesiest singer/guitarists and the red hot rhythm section from The Living End. Ash Grunwald, Scott Owen and Andy Strachan are teaming up for an Australian tour, with four shows spread across Victoria as well as plenty more in other states.

Stan Ridgway @ The Corner

Stan Ridgway comes from Barstow, a small town in eastern California. Few people would know much of Barstow, beyond its reference in the opening line of Hunter S Thompson’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Ridgway’s drawling delivery suggests he’s from Southern origins, maybe somewhere in the backblocks of Texas where everything is big, including the tales. Ridgway tells a story like the raconteur...

San Cisco @ The Corner
0 Comments. 123 Views. Posted 28 May 2013 @ 2:58pm.
Despite looking barely old enough to pass the 18+ restrictions of the evening, San Cisco performed with a natural ease. Received onstage by a full house would have been enough to intimidate the hell out of any rookie band, however the WA quartet showcased their indie-pop repertoire with poise and exuberance. Looking like a '70s pop outfit, complete with printed floral shirts and wavy hair, San... Read More
Airbourne

It’s been nearly a decade since Airbourne first emerged beer-drenched from the primordial rock‘n’roll ooze of Warrnambool’s pub circuit, with the high-octane outfit going on to establish themselves as one of Australia’s foremost hard rock exports. After taking a miniscule amount of time away from their formidable touring schedule, the four-piece have returned with their third riff-laden full-... Read More

Something For Kate

Having been such a mainstay for the last two decades, it’s almost hard to believe that it’s been six years in between Something for Kate albums, even as just about every other Australian band born from the alt-rock explosion of the early '90s has fallen by the wayside. Despite Paul Dempsey and Stephanie Ashworth upping stumps for New York, and Dempsey’s extensive solo work on the US club circuit... Read More

After dropping out of what was set to be their debut Australian tour last year, US indie outfit Beach Fossils have locked in a 2013 Melbourne show. Beach Fossils began in 2009 as a solo project, but before long a full band had manifested to bring dreamy washes of shoegaze to life. In 2010 they released their self-titled debut album and soon began building a buzz for their up-tempo and visceral... Read More

Before they hit this year's massive Splendour In The Grass, rising Brisbane outfit The Jungle Giants will set off around the country to launch their latest single, I Am What You Want Me To Be.

Austin’s long-running …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead have developed a cult following over the course of 15 years and eight albums. However, none of those albums garnered quite as much love and critical adulation as 2002’s Source Tags And Codes, which famously received a 10 rating from Pitchfork. Ahead of their Australian tour, which will see the band play Source Tags And... Read More

After announcing a run of national dates sans any Victorian appearances, the mighty Frenzal Rhomb have finally made good by locking in a Melbourne date. The show comes after the band were forced to pull out of this year's Descendents tour due to some really fucked up shit involving tapeworm larvae in frontman Jay's head. Still, the setback has not hampered Frenzal's ability to put on a sick show... Read More
Funeral For A Friend

Welsh post-hardcore luminaries Funeral For A Friend have been in the game for over 12 years. For those people who suffer from the syndrome whereby you think the ‘90s was only ten years ago, it’s almost impossible to believe the clock has ticked so many times since FFAF released Casually Dressed & Deep In Conversation. Currently touring their sixth studio album, Conduit, FFAF have... Read More

Having not yet recovered from the penetrating and enigmatic gaze of The Preatures' vocalist Isabella Manfred and her sexually-charged chemistry with co-vocalist and guitarist Gideon Bensen, Hungry Kids Of Hungary were received on stage by an energised crowd. The five-piece Brisbane band kicked into What In The World, the opening track of their sophomore album, You're A Shadow. The boys were... Read More
