Cosmo Jarvis has courted a fair amount of controversy with his viral hit 'Gay Pirates'; but there's no denying that he's a talented individual. The singer-songwriter has already announced his Australian tour, but now with support by Lime Cordiale in Sydney, and The Frowning Clouds and Laura Imbruglia in Melbourne, this is looking to be a tour not to miss.

“All Night Long” by The Frowning Clouds has the uncanny ability to be played over and over again without getting old or tired. Perhaps it’s the jangly guitars, the '60s energy in the vocals, or the lo-fi, cut-directly-to-tape sound. In any case the latest single from the Geelong quintet is three minutes of catchy, irrepressible, nostalgic and fun garage pop based entirely in the 1960s.

Zak from The Frowning Clouds answered the phone to mixed sounds of commotion and general activity. Was he rehearsing? Cleaning up from last night’s party? Preparing for a messy party to come? None of these – “just searching the huge pile of VHSs in the lounge room, just throwing out ones we don’t want. Just heaps of old family 80s classics.” It’s an image that fits well with the mop haircuts, tight pants and ‘vintage fun’ attitude of the Geelong five-piece.

It's not entirely surprising that music with a sly hint of surf would come out of the wilds of Geelong. Nor does it confound that a little motor city mayhem should infuse the sounds emanating from that particular city. Melbourne's little sister, resplendent with sand, sea and home of the Ford factory, has given us a bevy of amazing music over her time and her latest export, The Frowning Clouds continue that sterling tradition.

The (second) last day of summer was a choice afternoon of free live music with a Kiwi flavour to coincide with Unnerved: The New Zealand Project at the National Gallery of Victoria.
