60 Seconds With... Mushroom Giant

So then, what's the band name and what do you 'do' in the band?   Mushroom Giant is the band's name and I'm Craig, the bassist.   What do you reckon people will say you sound like ?   We've been around for about ten years now, and I guess the sound has changed as we've changed as people. Being instrumental though tends to mean we avoid getting lumped in with someone's... Read More

Hailing from sun-drenched Mexico, Rodrigo Sanchez and Gabriela Quintero garnered a huge cult following in Europe back in 2005 through their casual stints at local bars and have since sky-rocketed to guitar stardom. Their latest release, Live in France,is a frenetic blast of pure guitar wizardry, as only Rodrigo y Gabriela can conjure. Consisting of just two acoustic guitars on stage, their live... Read More
Whole Lotta Love

The annual Led Zeppelin celebration Whole Lotta Love has been a winner for a number of reasons. Musical director Joseph Calderazzo digs into the goldmine, unearthing obscurities alongside the hits, and cross-fuse celtic and middle eastern arrangements. The names that they’ve used, like Steve Balbi (Noiseworks), Simon Meli (Sway/The Widowbirds/Oohlala), Zkye and Natasha Stuart — and last year they... Read More

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
Jeff Martain 777 : The Ground Cries Out

Don’t get me wrong, Jeff Martin is a prodigiously talented and credible musician, vocalist and songwriter. A superb producer and performer too (is there anything he can’t do?). But when I listen to his output I can’t shake the feeling that a very large shadow of Led Zeppelin hangs heavily over just about everything he does. Specifically, in the drum sound and groove (for example, the drum beat... Read More
We The Kings : Friday Is Forever

I swear I crossed my fingers and prayed for a We The Kings single in this week’s packet, having just seen the video for their 2008 single Check Yes Juliet, which features lead singer Travis as a very unlikely Romeo. Such luscious flowing ginger locks, such unapologetic pubescent acne. I was both repulsed and transfixed by the Floridian pop punker… but leaning towards transfixed. Little dude is... Read More
The Ghost Hotel : Juliette

Sweet, easy listening alt country from a Perth act featuring former members of Team Jedi and Red Jezebel. Juliette is heavy on the twang but it moves at an energetic pace. They sound a lot like The Avett Brothers, though not as joyful. Nice. Read More

Georgia Fields’ debut EP, Drama On The High Seas Of Emotion, and memorable live performances garnered much praise, but it wasn’t until the Melbourne singer-songwriter received funding from Arts Victoria that she was able to see the fullness of her musical ideas flourish into life here on her debut album.   Fields recruited an impressive list of musicians from VCA and NMIT,...
