Ausralia's Spledour In The Grass is 34 days away as we were reminded by Guineafowl today, and we would be seriously remiss in not recognizing the Woodford, Victoria event which hosts some of the best in Australian and international indie music acts. It's coming down again at its new location this July29-31. COLDPLAY KANYE WEST JANE’S ADDICTION THE HIVES PULP THE LIVING END THE MARS VOLTA REGINA SPEKTOR BLISS N ESO PNAU MOGWAI DJ SHADOW [...]
It's been 20 years since Jane's Addiction frontman Perry Farrell started Lollapalooza as a traveling musical circus, featuring some of the brightest names in alternative music, and two decades later, he's still steering the ship. Since 2005, the fest has settled down in its permanent home at Chicago's Grant Park, where it continues to present some of the biggest acts in modern music alongside the rising stars of tomorrow. This year's event takes place from August 5-7, with marquee bands including Muse, Foo Fighters, and Coldplay; but there are dozens of lesser-known artists worth catching, too. [...]
Cementing their position as Australia's best indie folk acts, Boy & Bear played to a sold out show at Brisbane's Hi Fi on Saturday 4/6/2011. Upon entering the venue it became apparent that the masses weren't only keen to see the main act, they'd infact turned up to witness Jinja Safari's energetic performance. Jinja Safari as usual put on a stellar performance engaging the crowd with their hits and their ugly dancing. In some instances the support act tends to set the vibe for the ensuing performance with Jinja Safari doing exactly that. The stage [...]
'Home-town boys made good' is one damn accurate cliché if you're in Boy & Bear. Supported by Emma Louise, a Queensland export with infinite potential ( and almost as infinite charm ) and Jinja Safari, Boy & Bear played The Metro last Thursday, sold to capacity. Their tour's over for now, so here's some photos to keep you folk-pop'd up until next time.
For those of you who were lucky enough to secure tickets to the Hi-Fi tonight, you are in for something special. Boy & Bear and Jinja Safari will play to a packed out West End show on Boy & Bear's Autumn 2011 Australian Tour. I highly anticipate that Boy & Bear will play a set list featuring many of their new songs which will end up on their unnamed LP that is due this year. If their EP Emperor Antarctica is anything to base judgement on (being Australia’s second highest [...]
Music video by Boy & Bear performing Feeding Line, the latest single off their highly anticipated debut album.
A warm and intelligent melody cradles its love through Adelaide, Australia’s network and staples its intent with positive signs and floaty texture. Can simplicity herald Ben Ferguson aka Snapdragons with any more future plans? SNAPDRAGONS – Signs BONUS! MARCY PLAYGROUND – Sex And Candy (Snapdragons Remix) BOY & BEAR – Mexican Mavis (Snapdragons Retro Remix) TEMPER TRAP – Science Of Fear (Snapdragons Remix)

I'm not going to lie, I've been listening to a wave of Aussie bands lately and it's been incredible. Boy & Bear is one of those bands that have given me an ever-lasting eargasm. Straight pleasure to my ears. This here is Aussie band Boy & Bear's new visuals for their single "Feeding Line." After touring with Mumford & Sons and showcasing their talent at SXSW, they're now in the studio recording for their debut album.
Yesterday Aussie boys Boy & Bear dropped their brand new video to their single 'Feeding Line'.The photograph above is a still from the making of the clip, which was shot in different locations around the U.S. The clip was then edited by Jefferton James (Rabbit Song and Blood to Gold). The clip itself is visually stunning. It has some similarities to other Boy & Bear clips such as 'Rabbit Song'. I reckon it is pretty sweet. Whaaaaadoyoureckon?????
Here's a new clip from Australian Boy & Bear's debut album. It has been one of the hottest international as well as national treasures to uncover in this year's mountain of new music. The band are currently touring in their native country and selling out venues along the way. Check out this exclusive clip of Boy & Bear's new "Feeding Line" Their EP With Emperor Antartica is out now in the US

Toronto - Australians covering Australians, how novel! Boy & Bear are a five piece band coming out of Sydney. Unlike most of their counterparts from down under, this band have forgone the typical electro-dance-pop sound settling for some kickass gang vocals, rousing choruses, and some rip roaring/foot stomping guitar work instead. It wouldn't surprise me if they became the Australia's answer for Mumford & Sons They released an ep last year named With Emperor Antarctica but the track I want to feature is their cover of Crowded House 's hit single Fall [...]
Earlier this week we shared that Sydney based Boy & Bear have set out to record their debut album set for release sometime this fall. The band announced today that they will release a new single, "Feeding Line" on Monday in Australia via iTunes. Check out the artwork for the single above as well stream a live version of the song that they recorded for SXSW 2011 which they performed at Maggie Mae's in Austin below. The 5 Song EP is availabe now via iTunes. [...]
Recording In The Studio, Boy & Bear As we shared in March, Sydney based Boy & Bear have set out to record their debut album. The band is tracking well for their release sometime in the fall of this year. They have just started mixing their album in the studio called "Blackbird" in Nashville USA and are excited to share the news with us today. We are very excited to hear they are making good progress and can't wait to hear it. For now check out the remix by Snapdragons of one [...]
yep. what a good name! Snapdragons is one dude, Ben Ferguson from Radelaide. I actually first heard of this dude a while ago - back in Feb. He sent me one of his original tracks, called Miracles which I kind of liked. Never got round to posting though. But, a more recent track of his, [...]
Half way through this damn post I find out that LooseL!ps already posted it like centuries ago. I thought I was gonna be the hip/cool cat that got this out there :( Well, I'll post it anyway - love me some 802s synth-pop and Boy and Bear's vocals are mixed in nicely. I guess this is another lesson in organizing my music/ being more timely with my posts . I'll learn some day... Snapdragons Genre: Electronica Styles: Electro, Indie, Punk Name: [...]

Three day passes go for [...]
O Boy & Bear é um quarteto australiano que vem de Sidney, mas sua fonte de inspiração está na América, mais especificamente o velho-oeste americano. A influência é óbvia, e a capa do single já nos dá pistas disto, mas basta ouvir o primeiro single "Mexican Mavis", do EP With The Emperor Antarctica , que outras semelhanças ainda surgem. A música é um folk nos moldes das melhores do Local Natives , e se os Fleet Foxes chama a sua atenção, prepare-se para ficar viciado. O clima faroeste se mescla com ganchos pop, sobre [...]
