A platform for arts, music, design and gags, both upcoming and established, from Melbourne and beyond, quality and community above all else.
With opening night this Thursday as a part of this year’s Melbourne Comedy Festival, we had Naarm/Melbourne comedian and one-eyed Essendon supporter Kit Richards run us through her pub rock musical Scandal! A Reflection on Essendon’s Doping Saga: The Musical?.
With the release of their long-awaited debut album Glory today, Melbourne’s Dexy Oscillator share a collection of striking garage rock and post-punk that’s as restless as it is thoughtful.
We caught up with rising weirdo-punk crew Polite Skeletons to find out what’s set to go down this Sunday at their DIY show at Preston skatepark The Tannery.
Off the back of the release of Alfresco last week, we got in touch with Ben Mackie and Chris Stephenson from Spiritual Mafia and had the pair pick apart each moment of chaos on their sprawling debut album.
Following the release of their fiery new EP, we had Kate ‘Babyshakes’ Dillon – the mastermind behind Full Flower Moon Band – talk us through each thrilling moment on Death Or Hell.
Today we’ve got the pleasure of premiering two doses of raucous pub-punk from rising Ballarat crew The Dawdlers, ahead of their launch party tonight at The Eastern.
Following on from the release of ‘Leather Whip’ last year, Cong Josie has once again emerged to serve up another serving of his brand of sleazy new-wave and warped post-punk – on ‘Persephone’, Cong contorts a doo-wop ballad into a soured synth-pop dream, and its accompanying clip adds an extra level of bizarreness to the whole endeavour.
After losing gear, income and irreplaceable recordings during a home invasion and car theft, Melbourne artists Ella Clair and Bailey Judd have created new hope amidst the tribulation, in the form of the mini-festival fundraiser Broke & Enter, featuring a huge line-up of local talent united in the common support of their fellow artists.
Back with their third single in four months, 98 Camry have returned today with ‘April Wind’, a stirring alt-folk track that puts the project’s usual jangle-pop charm on hold for something a little more uneasy.
We caught up with Sydney’s post-punk four-piece Mere Women as they come back with their first album in four years, Romantic Notions, released tomorrow via Poison City Records.
Five years on from their gorgeous, ethereal debut Mindfullness, Melbourne shoegazers Flyying Colours have returned with their sophomore record Fantasy Country. We caught up with the group to investigate some of the influences on their explosively colourful new record.
Today we have the pleasure of sharing a first listen and watch to ‘Antipodes’, the (sort of) debut single from emerging Melbourne outfit Deuce – an evocative invitation into the duo’s dreamy world of enigmatic guitar-pop, that doubles as a stunning taste of their forthcoming debut album on Dinosaur City Records.
