Define your genre in five words or less: Lyrical, melodic, alternative rock.   When’s the gig and with who? Thursday March 14 at Revolver Upstairs. The Mere Poets will open the show  followed by Oh Pacific. Ryan (guitar, vocals) grew up in country Victoria and the lads from Oh Pacific are from the same hometown. As far as we can tell it’s a complete... Read More

Kastle has what could fairly be described as a diverse musical background. With a deep knowledge of electronic music production and audio engineering, the San Francisco-based DJ/producer has cultivated his own style of bass-heavy dance music with a sound that reflects a long time love of hip hop and R&B, laced with elements of dubstep, garage and plenty else. In Sydney at the moment, the lad... Read More
The Groves

The boreal Easter family holiday: a tradition for many Melbourne families. For mine it was at Wye River with the Gibsons, where we played Canasta and tried to avoid using the drop toilet. For The Groves’ Leigh MacDonald, it was Walkerville in Gippsland and one very special year it bore unexpected fruit, when MacDonald invited his guitar-toting schoolmate Michael Lo Bianco. “I’d never really done...

Music itself had a near-death experience for a young Yunyu growing up in Singapore; namely, a formal education in music did its best to beat the tunes out of her. “Singapore’s definition of music was really limited at the time,” said Yunyu, a songwriter and creatrix now based in New South Wales. “They were strict with their punishments – the teachers could get quite physical. It was like they... Read More
Lost & Found @ Revolver

  Revolver on Chapel St means different things to different people. Colonel Tan’s Thai menu attracts a trendy, mid-week crowd, keen on curries, retro decor and funky tracks from days gone by. Original Banksys dot the walls, dating back to when only ‘cool people’ knew of the antagonist and his emerging form of graffiti. Shepard Fairey’s iconic Obey images paste the hallways to where The...

Hey. What's the go? Our band is called Nine Sons Of Dan. We're from the Gold Coast, my name is Flakey - I play drums and do the sequencing for the band.   What do you reckon people will say you sound like?   We have trouble finding common comparisons. Maybe people are too drunk when they see us. Our singer is from California, so mix that with maybe a bit of Gyroscope? And you have... Read More

How did you get together? When a man is in the kitchen, preparing a mouth watering banquet it's only a matter of time before people bang on the door yelling, "WE WANT IN!" It's like, "Eat as much as you want. But could you peel the potatoes?" The RefuNds was born just like that. Without the chef hats.   If you could support any band in the world, who would it be and why?   Tim... Read More

It can be a double-edged sword when things are going well for once in your life, but if your approach to songwriting has always been something of a therapeutic one, it can mean more of a struggle… Holliava frontman Michael Soltys finds it amusing and frustrating all at once, but claims that, luckily, his band’s debut album Stay...
