Having been a staple around the pubs of Melbourne since 2019, it’s a real pleasure to finally hear recorded material from local charmers Major Plains, in the form of their debut EP Big City Blinking.

On the cusp of the 100th airing of Underground Love, we got in touch with Jordan Oakley, a true champion of Melbourne music, to dig into his PBS FM radio show. Across our wide ranging chat, the importance of connection to community ran deep – a theme that we’re sure will come beaming over the airwaves during the 100th show tomorrow.
