Many of us dream of recording EPs and working with musical heavyweights, though I’d hazard a guess that only a handful of us get to live out that dream. But at just 21, Melbourne’s Hamish Anderson has done just that. His debut self titled EP was released just last week, and saw him working with…
Misty Miller has come along way since 2011. Back then, she was strumming her ukulele and singing sweetly about boys. Now, at eighteen, she’s got an electric guitar, a stronger voice, and a helluva lot more to say. Next To You is her second EP release this year — and if you read the title…
Ellis Bahl, director of Alt-J‘s acclaimed video for “Breezeblocks”, was kind enough to take some time to chat to Larry Heath about the clip and more! How did you get involved with working with Alt-J? I pitched a treatment for Breezeblocks on the commissing site Radar Music Videos. Can you tell us a little about…
Cloud Control aren’t the band you’d expect to be super secretive about a new song, let alone an upcoming record, but when it comes to their anticipated sophomore LP – the follow up to the AMP Award winning Bliss Release – mum is definitely the word from both band and management. Which makes it especially…
When the world loses a legend, everybody rushes to define what exactly it was that made them so extraordinary. For Chrissy Amplett, the most common descriptions will be these: singer, actress, icon; sufferer of drug and alcohol abuse, of breast cancer, of multiple sclerosis. But many people will wonder who she was, and those who…
The degustation is now a staple of modern dining culture, with chefs from around the world keen to show off their signature dishes – as well as road test a few new ideas – to their customers, through a night of multiple courses, matching wines and, as is all the rage, a theme to go…
Indie darlings Tegan and Sara have come a long way over the last eight years since their first visit to Australia. It was 2005 and they had come as the support act for Little Birdy. When Katy Steele fell ill and cancelled the dates, the Canadian duo solidered on, becoming accidental headliners. It turned out…
Spring Break forever, or not for forever, that is the question. I had the opportunity to see Spring Breakers last month at the SXSW Film Festival and ever since then I’m been struggling to articulate how I felt about the experience. It’s one of the most divisive films I’ve ever seen. Not only in amongst…
Both playing Track and Field in Brisbane this Friday, we asked Dune Rats and The Jungle Giants to shoot each other some questions and here’s what came back… the results are… interesting… DUNE RATS ASKING THE JUNGLE GIANTS Answers by Cesira Aitken How many times do people mention the red hair thing? All the time……
Without further interruption, here is the 2013 Splendour in the Grass lineup, which includes Australian exclusive performances from TV on the Radio, The National and Mumford and Sons, the long awaited Australian debut of Frank Ocean, The Polyphonic Spree performing Rocky Horror (!!!!!!), the return of Boy & Bear and… Mystery Band? Mumford & Sons…
There is a lot that can be said about Stone Music Festival. What happened to the event before tickets went on sale was something quite telling of the nature of the current industry, and what happened after tickets went on sale perhaps showed the organiser’s lack of foresight, albeit a strong ability to adapt. And…

Has there been a more anticipated album release in recent memory? Sure, Justin Timberlake got everyone talking… but not like this. Every announcement comes with more mystery than the last, and there are more rumours out there than facts. All we know is that we can’t wait to hear the next Daft Punk record. Update:…

A towering monument on the Brisbane River, the Park Regis North Quay has become a go-to destination for Brisbane bound travellers (be it for business or tourism) since the 24 floor hotel opened in 1998.
