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……

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:…
Larry Heath chatted to Melbourne rapper PEZ just a couple of hours before he hit the stage in Sydney yesterday for his “Back in the Game” tour. Here is the video in two parts!

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. We stayed for two nights in a 1 bedroom apartment overlooking the beautiful Brisbane River – blessed with similarly kind…

The John Curtin band room is as dark as I have ever seen it. It suited perfectly for some dark chord crunching bands to fill the room with their insanely doomy music. Any god-fearing music lover – is there such a thing? – would turn away at the door if they had no idea what…
20 years ago, a group of young men entered a recording studio in Cannon Falls, Minnesota to record what would be their debut album. That album, Sound As Ever, was the start of a long and successful career by one of Australia’s most loved rock and roll bands, You Am I. Two decades later, You…
