Bigsound (Un)Official Showcase
Ahead of next week’s showcase, we got to know a few of the acts a little more intimately. We talk useless skills with Obscura Hail, weird dreams with Gena Rose Bruce and First Beige try to sell us a Kendama.
Baked Goods x Trouble Juice
(Un)Official Showcase at BIGSOUND
For the first time, Baked Goods and Trouble Juice are teaming up for our very own unofficial BIGSOUND showcase this year and ahead of the big day, we thought we’d give you an advanced tasting of what we’ll be serving up next Wednesday, September 4th at Barbara.
They Made Me Do It –
Talking Influences with KILNS
Off the back of their dreamy third single ‘So Close’ and only a day out from its launch, we asked KILNS to let us in on the music that has been the stimuli for the Melbourne indie-rockers thus far.

Talking Influences with jade imagine
Now that their hypnotic and completely splurgable debut album is out in the world via Milk Records, we had jade imagine talk us through the five albums that inspired the creation of Basic Love.
Premiere:
The Sunken Sea – Bones And String
Following on from brooding alt-rock ballad ‘Blame’, The Sunken Sea have backed it up in a big way with ‘Bones and String’, another anthemic jazz-infused art-rock slowburner that sounds like no one else on earth.
Track by Track:
JIM ALXNDR –
Retro Future Love Sound Machine
JIM ALXNDR’s debut record Retro Future Love Sound Machine is a wild, emotionally-charged rollercoaster, and now that it’s almost one week old, we got the man behind it to take us through each of the tracks.
Life Advice with SPOD
Ahead of the Melbourne launch of his new album Adult Fantasy tomorrow, we got in touch with national treasure SPOD to help take a load off all of our shoulders, in the next edition of Life Advice.
Life Advice with Grinspoon
With the announcement of a 2019 national tour and a new compilation out on vinyl of the band’s favourite singles, we jumped at the opportunity to have Aus-rock legends Grinspoon kick off our new Dolly Doctor-esque segment Life Advice.
They Made Me Do It –
Talking Influences with Cool Sounds
Fresh off the back of the release of newest single ‘More To Enjoy’ we got woozy alt-country masterminds Cool Sounds to run us through a few of the things that inspire them to keep on living up to their name.
