If you're like us, you probably woke up this morning thinking, "Man, there just aren't enough Somebody That I Used To Know tributes and parodies on the internet right now." Well our prayers have been answered by the man himself, no less. Somebodies: A YouTube Orchestra is a six minute clip splices together some of the countless tributes to the ubiquitous single, compiled by Gotye in his... Read More
Stonnington Jazz

Like Mr Noir, you may think jazz is just for science teachers and other elbow-patched drips. Do you fear jazz, the lack of rules, the lack of boundaries? Perhaps it’s time to branch out and discover the energy. “That’s what drew me to it, when I was 16,” says Allan Browne, the highly-esteemed patron of Stonnington Jazz.  During his incredible musical career of over 50 years, Browne has...

The Brian Jonestown Massacre

The mega-prolific Brian Jonestown Massacre have attracted a lot of adjectives over the years – whether it be cries of musical genius or the dismissal of being too volatile to function. These days, however, the good ship Brian Jonestown Massacre is sailing on relatively calm seas, a trend which is consolidated by latest record Aufheben – one which continues a surprising run of consistent...

Snakadaktal Add Third Show
0 Comments. 939 Views. Posted 22 Feb 2012 @ 2:13pm.
After selling out their first two shows in a snap, the lads (and lass) from Snakadaktal have added a third show to their itinerary.  It'd be an understatement to say 2011 had been kind to the Melbourne locals. Snakadaktal climbed to national focus after clinching triple j's Unearthed High, which understandably precipitated an escalating tide of good fortune. Amassing ridiculous stats across... Read More
The Bedroom Philosopher : Northcote, YouTube Comments
0 Comments. 688 Views. Posted 22 Feb 2012 @ 10:59am.
  A song in which The Bedroom Philosopher sets the comments left under his Northcote (So Hungover) YouTube video to music. May or may not be an extension of a triple j radio segment. Includes the comment/lyrics: “It’s called self-juxtaposition/He is deconstructing his own identity within the conformist social mellow.” I don’t know what the ‘conformist social mellow’ is. And I don’t want to... Read More

First Aid Kit : The Lion's Roar
0 Comments. 1,291 Views. Posted 26 Jan 2012 @ 5:56am.
  First Aid Kit often get compared to Fleet Foxes, perhaps due to them getting their big break via their YouTube cover of Tiger Mountain Peasant Song. Aside from I Found A Way having the same romantic urgency and wavering flutes of Your Protector, Johanna and Klara Soderber’s assured second album cementstheir sound as something quite different - younger, subtler and leaning a lotcloser to...

Snakadaktal Announce Headline Tour

In the spirit of striking while the iron's hot, triple j darlings Snakadaktal are hitting the road once again, visiting ten cities in four weeks on their first ever national tour. It'd be an understatement to say 2011 had been kind to the Melbourne locals. Snakadaktal climbed to national focus after clinching triple j's Unearthed High, which understandably precipitated an escalating tide of good... Read More

RAWR! Towards the end of last year I remember bearing witness to the unenviable collapse of one of scenecore's many permutations at The Devil Wears Prada's Aussie tour (don't ask, please don't). I mean, We Came As Romans only started doing the do in 2008 and they sounded like dinosaurs. No-one gave a crap. TDWP mostly hawked stuff off of their Zombie EP, which is the heaviest shiz they've ever... Read More

Mere weeks before the start of their 21st celebrations, the Big Day Out have released the 2012 official iPhone application. Following the success of the 2011 application which saw over 100,000 downloads, the 2012 version has been amped up more than Kanye West's latest Twitter rants. Features include full intergration with Facebook and Twitter, the ability to research all artists on the bill... Read More
Human Centipede 2: Full Sequence

If Kim Kardashian can turn a sex tape into a successful line of handbags, Britney Spears can turn a mental health melt-down into a fragrance fortune and Winona Ryder's kleptomania can re-launch her flailing career, then now more than ever the maxim of "any publicity is good publicity" must be true. So when film classification boards all over the globe delivered a ban on the Human Centipede... Read More
Snakadaktal
0 Comments. 6,303 Views. Posted 29 Nov 2011 @ 9:09am.
Triple j unearthed winners and latest signing to I Oh You records, Snakadaktal seem almost too good to be true. The teenaged band are a perfect synthesis of the best lo-fi pop produced in the last decade. All strange, laid back but urgent arrangements with catchy melodies and thoughtful lyrics, they're at times reminiscent of the retreating wave of French pop vocalists in the tradition of air and...

Not just any ordinary turntablist, but a DJ that deftly merges the visual spectacle of dance music with the aural side of things, Sampology has just announced a return to Australian shores with a run of dates to celebrate the forthcoming release of new single Hell on Wheels. Since the early days of working hard to get his name heard, playing festival such as Big Day Out at seventeen, he... Read More

So then, what's the band name and what do you 'do' in the band? Susy Blue. I'm the benevolent dictator; I write the songs and their arrangements, sing them and occasionally play flute, piccolo and more recently keys.   Bearing the terrible clichéd nature of this question, what do you reckon people will say you sound like ?   Weimer and whimsy (I will say it again so I am right)....

The Swedish sisters who made their name by posting a Fleet Foxes cover on YouTube are set to release a sophomore album. The title track of this forthcoming LP is another grand exercise in mythic country folk, twanging and beautiful. Like those most influential boys from Seattle, First Aid Kit write personal lyrics laced with nostalgic, pastoral symbolism, evoking long-lost worlds were salt-of-... Read More

RAWR! Right now, I'm listening to Uneven Structure. Their debut LP Februus has just landed and it. Is. Tremendous. This is djent - but not as you know it, Jim. Do me the favour of herding over to facebook.com/unevenstructure and listening to this gargantuan metal so I don't have to list a whole bunch of increasingly meaningless adjectives in some tiresome I'm-a-writer-ho-ho-look-at-my-big-...

Vultures Of Venus
0 Comments. 1,533 Views. Posted 28 Oct 2011 @ 8:24am.
According to shock-rock impresario Rob Zombie, Mars is in desperate need of women. Yet the Red Planet, in Hoodoo Gurus' opinion, needs guitars. Women and guitars - surely these are two things that every planet needs. I'm assuming Mars' comely neighbour Venus, has these items in spades, judging by the music of local space-synth-glam rockers Vultures of Venus. Infused with a heady mixture... Read More

Since the '70s, punk bands have been warning against the decline of Western civilisation - this is the generation that is actually living it, according to director, Tristan Patterson. In his award-winning documentary Dragonslayer , the young filmmaker explores the beauty and decay of the current generation as he follows ex pro-skater Skreech around some of California's most scenic...

Rodrigo Y Gabriela: Live In France

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
Cosmo Jarvis Tour

Call him a hypocrite of our generation, or whatever you want. Controversial British singer-songwriter Cosmo Jarvis is bringing his tunes to town. He began to spark attention when his self-directed YouTube video Gay Pirates went viral, with much thanks to a Twitter post by Stephen Fry. Continuing on this thought-provoking trail, Jarvis released the controversial video to his follow up... Read More

RAWR! Hey guys, can't wait to get myself to Soundwave Rev- oh. Too soon? Nah. The promoters kinda deserve a bit of flack, really, if only for the fact that nobody has told anyone a fucking thing about why it was really cancelled. An honest explanation would've done wonders for their PR, not to mention the sanctity of their Facebook wall. This stuff about Limp Bizkit refusing to play and Van... Read More
Cosmo Jarvis : Sure As Hell Not Jesus
0 Comments. 2,165 Views. Posted 21 Jun 2011 @ 11:37am.
Hideously talented musician and filmmaker Cosmo Jarvis gained a bit of attention last year with a viral Youtube video called Gay Pirates, featuring a really sweet song about gay pirates. His latest single starts out in a similar vein of almost-twee romantic acoustic indie, but arcs up beautifully in a folk-punk chorus. His lyrics are deft and quick-witted: “You’re sure as hell not Jesus, but you... Read More

  RAWR!   Not a day goes by where I don’t wonder whether or not fretless bass is the lamest instrument of all time. I mean, there are a fair few instances ofburnin’ fretless work in metal: Control Denied’s The Fragile Art Of Existence, Intronaut’s Prehistoricisms, Obscura’s Cosmogenesis, and anything that Sadus have ever done with Steve DiGorgio (who's been championing the beast’s...

RAWR! There comes a time in every aged band's life where it's time to shut up shop and call it a day. Give yourself a good few years to make a decent enough impression that you could legitimately call yourself 'recognisable beyond the walls of this comparatively tiny, meaningless country's concept of what's what'. If the real world consistently fails to give a fuck, stop. Why? Because to... Read More

Name/Band: “Reviver.” Define your genre in five words or less: “Soul-reggae sexual chocolate heaven.” So, someone is walking past as you guys are playing, they then go get a beer and tell their friend about you... what do they say? “Oh dearie me, I think I've just found the meaning of life! I saw it in that lead singer's eyes! Drink up!” How long have you been gigging and writing? “I've... Read More

They’ll be appearing in major festival around Australia, along with the Falls Festival in Lorne on December 31. Twin Flames is the second single to be... Read More
