0 Comments. 761 Views. Posted 13 Jun 2012 @ 3:15pm.
A Malcolm Tucker understudy of the highest order, for years Andrew ‘Falco’ Falkous, front face and voice of unhinged Cardiff rock band Future Of The Left, has been abstrusely heckling human idiocy via the medium of catchy melodies and killer hooks. Well, I think; he has, as often as not, seemed to revel in the poetic joy of lyrical near-nonsense, and is known and loved for this obscurantism.... Read More

With a new line-up, new songs and a new desire to keep the “non-rock” parts of gigging to a minimum, Future Of The Left 2.0 are setting a new precedent. This is a professional fucking rock show, my friends. No flashy lights, no showing off, only a little bit of banter during “enforced gaps in the set (oxygen consolidation/guitar changes)” and a whole lot of nothing... Read More

What would Luke LaLonde’s 16-year-old self think of the Born Ruffians’ frontman now? Well, according to the singer, most likely “you lucky bastard,” followed by “I can’t believe you’re going to Australia”… For a bunch of kids from the Canadian cottage town of Midland, you can bet it’s a big deal, as LaLonde explains,...

There’s nothing worse than writers’ block, Built To Spill frontman Doug Martsch confesses. In fact, some days you wake up feeling like you just want to throw in the towel – even if you’re the founder of one of the biggest indie-rock bands of the last two decades.   “I don’t think you’ll find a lot of musicians easily admit this,”...

Back in August, Future Of The Left lynchpin Andy Falkous sent me an email. There was no subject line, just an attachment: an mp3 called I Am The Least Of Your Problems . It was followed soon after by another; same deal, different mp3. Then another. And another. And one more in early September.     “New demos,” Andy explained in a... Read More

After breaking through with the short-lived, but much-adored, dance-punk outfit Test Icicles, Dev Hynes made the transition into the Lightspeed Champion moniker with a collection of mostly acoustic-driven folk songs. The stylistic transition continued with this year’s well-received release of the sardonically titled Life Is Sweet! Nice... Read More

How lucky we are as punters that a sunny season of the best international and local acts awaits us, a summer already revealing its splendours to a once barren Melbourne.

At one stage a few years ago, Xavier Rudd was firmly positioned at the top end of almost every festival he was invited to attend. Kids loved his easy-on-the-ears dreadlock-folk-surf tunes, the oldies loved his political and environmental conscious and those that hadn’t seen him just enjoyed the spectacle of seeing one little man make such a big noise....
