The Brothers Grim And The Blue Murders

Brothers Grim And The Blue Murders do a mean line in confronting love songs – late in our interview, singer James Grim refers to a song the band’s written recent as “probably the nastiest love song we’ve ever written” – but the opening topic of our conversation is at the other end of the artistic spectrum: the Star Wars saga. “The good thing with the first three that were made is that the...

Tell us a bit about the history of Pub Cricket and The Yarra Pub Cricket Association?No one is entirely sure about the origins of Pub Cricket in Fitzroy (lost in the fog of time and beer), but social games have been part of the community history for decades.

Truly old school pubs are difficult to find these days, especially in the inner city. Even venture out to the outer suburbs of Melbourne, if you dare, and you'll pay 19 bucks for a steak and chips and be assaulted on all sides by the relentless white noise of pokey machines. There is a last bastion of this tradition in Fitzroy however, at the top end of the Brunswick St precinct. The Royal... Read More

So then, what's the band name and what do you 'do' in the band? We're called Impossible Odds and I write and perform as an MC…. Rival MC   What do you reckon people will say you sound like?   In terms of my voice, I've been compared to "Henry Rollin's cepthiphopier" and also as "having the subtlety of Kev Carmody".     What do you love about making music?   The...

Simon Brodie - Fitzroyalty - The Guide To Building Bridges
0 Comments. 2,152 Views. Posted 18 Apr 2011 @ 9:53am.
As a child I had a very love/hate relationship with my sister. Apart from the usual psychological maiming which is part of any healthy sibling relationship, we enjoyed the occasional, highly competitive game of Monopoly. After years of trying I eventually beat her. It was swift, efficient, and opened the door to new possibilities for me. Did my sister accept this defeat graciously? Did she fuck... Read More

If there is a better cure from yet another rainy, wasted Saturday with bad election results coming in than The John Steel Singers, I can’t think of it. They are a ray of sunshine straight from the sunshine state, in town to launch their equally sunny album Tangalooma.   Shambling on stage after strong support from Love Connection and Deep Sea Arcade, the six guys are an oddly...
