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.

Last night I turned 23. Sure, it wasn’t a milestone year to be celebrated, but all the same, I felt the need to be partying and party hard I did. As if the powers that be were switched on, it just so happened that the Adelaide stop of Yacht Club DJs’ “Mayhem Tour” fell on my birthday and once I had found this out, well, I knew where I would inevitably end up.

Boasting three of the country's best young talent, the 'Triple Treat Tour' will be hititng up club venues through the country in May. Step-Panther, Gung Ho and Bored Nothing will be joining forces and representing Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane in producing some kickass live tunes for you all. Check them out at the following joints!

It's a big week here in Sydney. Every night there seem to be dozens of bands playing sideshows from their Falls, Field Day, Southbound, Peats and Woodford appearances - and there simply aren't enough people in this city to fill every venue with a $50 ticket. Unfortunately this meant that the crowds were not out in force for Blood Red Shoes, but the fans who were there were treated to a phenomenal show - and fans they were, singing along to just about every word of every song.
