I've had a rough decision just choosing the video clips for this session, there are so many great little videos floating around it's hard to conjure up just four. Alas, for this installment I'm rocking with Perth's Pond , NO ZU and I, a Man from Melbourne and Sydney's East River . NO ZU emotion from Tooth & Claw on Vimeo .
On Saturday night I saw Love Migrate support the excellent I, A Man. I, A Man were really great, but easily, for me, it was Love Migrate that stole the show. Having followed them since they started out as Goodnight Owl with their folk-electronica, these guys have changed so much over the past couple of [...]
It's the June mixtape. Below are the tracks that have got me through the past month. It even features a small bit of a double feature working 'Wimbledon 19802 by Indian Wells and the Jon Hopkins piano version of 'Modern Driveway' originally by Luke Abbott. This was easily the most fun mix to make, especially [...]
Keepin' the tradition going, another best of mix. I is definitely no expert on mixing, so apologies if you reckon the full thing sounds a bit naff. That said, have decided to include two of the tracks as free downloads for you kats too. Hope you dig and there may well be another of these [...]

I just found out that their first show of 2012 will be with two Canadian favorites of mine: Yukon Blonde and Northcote (who contributed a mix to the mixtape series and is a friend of friends around here). [...]
Ok. These guys are supporting Love Migrate when they launch their newy Little Kid next week at The Toff. I, A Man do some really quite lovely indie pop. It has that warm quality that seems to be pretty rare in the local scene, and I like very very much. They have three tracks all [...]

Republic Of Lights And now three Jersey-Shore-to-italy-is-surel y-an-excellent-step-in-U.S.-fo reign-relations to throw on your dancing shoes and stop, drop and roll on over to Double Door this evening... 1. Self-proclaimed "academic rock" [via the facebooks ] outfit Republic of Lights headline tonight's Betta Promotions presented show at the Double Door. Not sure what "academic rock" is, but the Chicago indie-rockers produce some bright, melodic tunes in the vain of Spoon.
