Chateau Rdio – The Music Everywhere Party
There is not a whole heap I can say about this party, other than it’s is bound to get wild-diculous. So I have put in the official write up of how things are going to go down on the night. There are still double passes up for grabs, so RSVP on the Rdio facebook page...

I’lls’ – ‘Thread’
By Amy Chapman Having been selected to play Parklife after only one show, as well as support slots for the likes of SBTRKD and most recently Chet Faker, the future is certainly looking bright for Melbourne-based three piece I’lls’. Word is spreading quickly about their dynamic live shows, and I can report that their EP...
Saskwatch. Oh. So. Tight. @ Cherry Bar (19/04)
Finally made it down to the Cherry basement last Thursday to catch Melbourne soul outfit Saskwatch. The third of their four residencies, the dance floor was packed, as was just about every other available space. Starting off with a band-only jam before introducing Nkechi, Saskwatch immediately got the crowd moving as one. While the band...
Deep Sea Arcade – ‘Outlands’
After a hectic as two thousand and eleven and an even more full on twenty twelve thus far, Deep Sea Arcade are kicking massive goals in just about every aspect of their fledgling career right now. Their debut album Outlands is an intricate balance between pop song writing and inventive arrangements, forming a solid variety of...
Step-Panther – Last Shows in Aus Before UK Tour.
Last chance to see Step-Panther before they head over to be mobbed by a bunch of bill-loving-chavs from the UK. Recently labeled as one of the best upcoming bands of 2012 by NME, I won’t be surprised when the Sydney boys garner a fair bit of attention over in the motherland. Supporting in Sydney will...
Video-Philes: The Harpoons + The Faults + Swimwear + Caitlin Park
Happy Easter everybody! Forget about chocolate. We’ve got some brand new videos (and some not-so-brand-new-ones-that-we-missed). Anyway. The Harpoons have just let go of their baby ‘Keep You Around’ (Directed by Genevieve Bailey), which displays some pretty cool exercising moves from the band. Also hot off the press is the clip to ‘Leather Jacket’ by...
Carry Nation – ‘Whales In Webs’ + Video
I’m a real big fan of what I am hearing from Melbourne-via-Brisbane songstress Carry Nation aka Jessie Warren. After her 2010 record, Like a River Does, Carry Nation has given us the first taste of whats to come on her sophomore record. If ‘Whales In Webs’ is a good measure of what’s in store, I’ll...
Lower Plenty – ‘Hard Rubbish’
Made up of members from bands such as Deaf Wish, UV Race, Dick Diver and Total Control, it’s understandable that you’d expect this band to produce some nice little numbers. Lower Plenty recorded their debut 2nd album Hard Rubbish almost a year ago, thank god it’s got to see the light of day for all...
King Gizzard and The Wizard Lizard – ‘Bloody Ripper/Sam Cherry’s Last Shot’
Local legends KGATLW have just released two brand spankin tracks for our listening pleasure. ‘Bloody Ripper’ and its b-side ‘Sam Cherry’s Last Shot’ (Narrated by Ambrose’s dad, Broderick Smith) are a little taste of what we can expect from King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard‘s debut record, which is being is being recorded/produced in Producer...
Courtney Barnett – ‘I’ve Got a Friend Called Emily Ferris’ EP
Courtney Barnett is no new kid on the block. She’s had more than her fair share of influence of Melbourne’s music scene, playing in Immigrant Union and duo Cottonbud along with The Olivettes and The Merri Creek Pickers. The thing I love about Barnett’s solo project, under the moniker that was given to her...
Saskwatch Residency @ Cherry Bar
Melbourne’s cheekiest soul band are returning to Cherry Bar this April to sort out your Thursday night plans and Friday hangovers. A ridiculously talented bunch of young folks fronted by the darling Nkechi, Saskwatch have been owning the stage at everyone’s favourite dingy basement bar for several years now, so if you’re yet to experience...
