Yama Indra Hondow-Wellby is the former front-man of the now defunct band Damn Arms , and is now producing wonderful music under the name G.L.O.V.E.S . The Australian nu disco maestro has been one of our favourite producers for quite a while, so today we're really proud to present an exclusive interview with him. Let's cut to the chase! Hello Yama Indra, tell us what you've been up to lately! Today I had a photo shoot, which I worked on in collaboration with my close friend Chris Hill of KROZM [...]
OMG. G. Love is back. I don't know too many gals (or guys) who didn't have a crush on the Philadelphian in college, when he was peddling his dirty mix of folk, blues, and funk around the country. Well, the Love is back, having teamed up with bluegrass innovators The Avett Brothers on his new album Fixin' To Die , releasing in February on Jack Johnson's Brushfire Records. G. Love and the Avetts met randomly in Boston last fall, and forged a quick friendship through their mutual love of backroads blues. [...]
Vodka shots, disco, sloppy cdj backspins, rude photos, free clothes and vodka shots. This pretty much sums up our year. To celebrate the birth of PARTY BY JAKE and all related stupidity that took place in the past 11 months, we're kicking up our heels for the last time (this year) with the amazing GLOVES of Bang Gang 12 inches , and our happy-go-lucky-slash-ghetto-su rf-slash-trash-glam sponsor I HEARD THEY EAT CIGARETTES . The party will also feature a LARGE poster showcase of party snaps taken by our camera-totin' motor-boatin' [...]
On the heels of learning that G. Love's new album would be produced by The Avett Brothers we're given a first listen to lead single "Fixin' to Die." And well, it's certainly different from what we've heard from him in the past. It's reminiscent of his folky album closers, which tend to be his best songs, and bursts with strong harmonica work and soulful harmonies, lots of stomping and handclaps. But, and this is a big but, the vocals sound really strained, as if The Avett Brothers were asking for something from G. Love which he [...]
One of our long-time faves G Love is releasing his new album Fixin To Die on February 22nd on Brushfire Records. The record was produced by The Avett Brothers at Echo Mountain Studios in Asheville, North Carolina. There's a cover of Paul Simon's "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover" and the stomping title song written by the legendary Bukka White . As G says on his website : "It was an emotional [...]
Over the past, I don't know?, six months or so, maybe more, I've been on a serious Avett Brothers kick. If there was ever somebody that said they couldn't care less for "country" music, I'd toss them an Avett Brothers mixtape. There's something about their old-timey, dustbowl, Americana swirled with the emotional thump of punk rock that hits you straight in the gut. When you listen to Scott and Seth Avett yelp and stomp their feet you can't help but want to do the same. And it's easy to see how they connect with so many [...]
Radio INK are an in-your-face ElectroPop act from Sydney, Australia, who are pretty well known on their home turf but defiantly need some worldwide exposure. The trio are about to release their third single, 'Physical', which is produced by hyper-talented Diamond Cut (who reMixed their last two singles) and features reMixes by the cream of down under talent. The awesome Muffin , who has been far too quiet of late, brings his massive sounding Nu-Disco flavour to the track with some massive pads and killer bass. G.L.O.V.E.S. drops more of a late night Disco [...]
Our new favourite act is World's End Press from Melbourne, Australia. This four-piece young band are making waves with their discolicious-synth pop tunes. World's End Press just released their 3rd EP 'Faithful', which comes with their last single 'Only The Brave', a killer piano-breakdown Gloves remix and a cover of Pet Shop Boys' 'West End Girls'. The 'Faithful' EP is a taster of the forthcoming debut album, 'Music For Ther World, due out in 2011. Here's something for you. Pretty cool! Faithful (Gloves' [...]
Radio INK all the way from sunnyside Australia, just emailed 3 amazing remixes for their upcoming single Physical , which is coming out in December. And they're pretty good at getting the right producer too, who else but the precision-perfect synth god that is Diamond Cut . He's been name-dropped a coupla times in this blog having worked with AEONS and VISITOR . Anyway, check these tunes out. There's one for every flavor: filter-house freaks will get into the Moonchild remix, GLOVES have pulled out some all-too-familiar Stardust-esque [...]

This is a collaboration that I never thought I would see in a million years, but I have to admit that I am completely intrigued. The old church, the involvement of The Avett Brothers at the production helm, the stripped-down songs (and stomping! and clapping!)? I've actually had this semi-secret fondness for G. Love ever since I heard "Cold Beverage" on a SPIN Magazine cassette sampler in '93 or '94 (the same one that I first heard Jeff Buckley on, as well). I also remember several epic G. [...]
Australia can actually produce some pretty sweet synthy pop goodness. Sydney crew Radio INK have been pretty busy of late receiving a bit of play for a few of their tracks. Their newy Physical is some pop goodness – you can stream it over here. The track is produced by Diamond Cut (He also did [...]
We so often love to hate it but one can't ignore a good quality dose of electro - and who knows electro better than a country paralysed by the symptoms of a synth addiction. Yep, our little island home hasn't even begun thinking about dancefloor rehab yet - you may have heard but Australia has only two kinds of house music, electro and filthy electro...okay maybe SOME exceptions. But as mum said, practice makes perfect, and the latest offering from steady Melbourne dj G.L.O.V.E.S , is bound to impress. [...]
World's End Press are four blokes from Melbourne, Australia who specialise in conjuring up spectacular disco-synth pop tunes. They just released their 3rd EP 'Faithful' as a taster of their upcoming new album Music For The World due out early 2011. We decided to check it out, and were especially delighted when we realised a dreamy remix by fellow Melbournite G.L.O.V.E.S was included on the release and heard his ingenious house piano breakdown on his remix of the title track. Truly delicious. Purchase the full EP here . In the meantime, here's a taster of a [...]
On February 22, G. Love will release his fourth solo album Fixin' To Die via Brushfire Records. Love got some high profile help courtesy of Seth and Scott Avett who produced the album, which was recorded at Echo Mountain Studios in Asheville, NC and is said to have a country-blues sound. Here's a trailer previewing Fixin' To Die... G. Love - Fixin' To Die Album Trailer
Here's a little rock history for you. In the early 80s, The Cure was a bit on the fritz. Robert Smith ended up playing guitar in bassist Steven Severin's group Siouxsie & The Banshees . Then that got all fritzy and the two musicians formed The Glove for a one-off album. Since Smith was contractually barred from singing for any non-Cure group, they tapped Jeanette Landray to provide the vocals (though a 2006 reissue of the album featured demos sung by Smith). Blue Sunshine was and is the band's only album. [...]
