We had the chance to catch up with one of our favourite bands while at SXSW, the Brooklyn group TEEN, during which we talked about their music, the festival, the chances of getting them to Australia and much more. Watch on:
They’re two of the busiest (and rockin’est) women in the industry, but somehow Nicole Fiorentino and Meghan Toohey managed to team up to not only make some music together, under the project The Cold and the Lovely, but they’ve been touring it too! We caught up with the pair at SXSW to talk about their…

We’re headed back over to Toronto for the annual Canadian Music Week, which is happening in May for the first time this year (in the past it’s been held straight after SXSW in March). There’s always an amazing contingency of Australian bands who play the event – and in spite of the date change, as…
This was just one of those videos we’ve stumbled across and loved… now we have to share it! Check out the amazing Band of Horses in a live, acoustic performance of their song “Heartbreak on the 101”, filmed at the historic Hollywood sign. We won’t waste any more of your time with words… enjoy the…
I like to justify my inherent pessimism with the surprisingly practical statement that when one is a pessimist, one is often pleasantly surprised by the outcomes of situations one is pessimistic about. Saturday night saw the epitome of one of those situations. After cynically thinking that the door charge would be exorbitant for a student…
