The guys played 3 killer Sydney shows at The Annandale and Manly Boatshed last week. The band continue their…
So last night held many firsts for me. My first time working the ARIAs (or attending at all for that matter), my first time doing red carpet interviews and my first time meeting Kylie Minogue (assuming asking a question in the press centre is “meeting”). But more on all that later… Firstly, let it be…
While we were working on the forthcoming DZ Deathrays documentary (you’ll be hearing more about that very soon), we captured a performance from up-and-coming Melbourne group Damn Terran performing “Death of Me”. The sound isn’t great but you defintiely get a good idea as to what this band is all about! Enjoy! The live footage…
It may not have been one of my international excursions. It may not have even lasted 24 hours. But my trip to the Brisbane leg of the Harvest “gatherings” turned out to be one of my most memorable musical expeditions to date. For starters, I made things terribly difficult on myself.

So, you may be asking yourselves: what the hell is CMJ? Well it’s probably a fair question. And much like SXSW in Austin, Texas, it’s the sort of event that needs to be experienced to be fully understood – but let’s see what I can describe to you here. CMJ (or “College Music Journal”) is…
