Over the past 10 years, FBi Radio has been the launchpad for many burgeoning Sydney artists and has continued to foster a creative and supportive networks for the artistic community. The station is proud to announce a series of fundraisers called 'All Our Friends', a run of gigs which are set to celebrate a decade on air.

Melbourne (via South Africa) five-piece Clubfeet have announced their return to Australia with a ten day national tour in June - July. They will be joined by special guest Panama.

2013 saw the release of Clubfeet's sophomore album Heirs and Graces, with singles "Heartbreaker (ft. Chela)" and "Everything You Wanted", with new single "Cape Town."

The Cape Town tour is their biggest tour since since February's sold out tour.

Ballarat band Gold Fields are hyped to be the band to look out for in 2013. With critical acclaim overseas as well as the hype around first single ‘Dark Again’ from their upcoming debut album, Gold Fields played a free show for Sydney fans before they depart to the US of A.

Vice Magazine said of Panama “If Peter Gabriel had a love child with Cut Copy and took a lot of MDMA, the result would be PANAMA.” And that to me just sounds like something everyone should see, and it seems we get the chance this February.

They also mention something called “Yacht rock”, and an avid appreciation of the 80s, so who even knows what one of these shows will being, but I sure as hell want to find out.

It’s not too many gigs that start with the front man’s greeting: "Good evening. How are we?" But Panama were just setting the tone for the evening where three, laidback local bands (nice guys and friends to boot), produced some good, upbeat tunes for the assembled throng.
