We've been big big Steve Moore fans for quite some time (he produces under many monikers including Lovelock, Gianni Rossi, Zombi and Miracle.) I think Zombi - Sapphire was the first of his productions i'd heard back in 2006 and it's been a favourite ever since.) With such a varied output of psychedelic analog sleaze (check his soundcloud here ) we thought we'd it would be great to ask Steve to talk us through some of his early inspirations from over the years, but first, here's an exclusive peak at the Morgan Geist edit of his new [...]
Maaaan. After eight years, two albums and a decent clock up of touring mileage, Red Riders have decided to call it a day. A statement on the band's blog reads: "Rather than grind something that's special to us into the ground, we'd like to call it quits while we can we can still stand proudly behind everything that we've made together. Basically, to anyone who's ever given a damn, thank you! We're gonna keep making music in other guises so keep a ear out, [...]
"Done in Secret" is a brand-spanking-new song from The Pigeon Detectives, a band from West Yorkshire that had a fair bit of success in the last decade. Formed in 2002, they've released two albums ( Wait For Me (2007) and Emergency (2008)), sold more than 500,000 copies in the UK, and played sold out concerts and festivals on tour with bands such as Dirty Pretty Things and Kaiser Chiefs. Recorded in Brooklyn, the track is the first original single the group has released since 2008, and comes in anticipation of their third studio album [...]

If you like legendary Brit bands like The Smiths and The Cure, you'll get a kick out of this Australian rock outfit. Red Riders channel various Britpop groups to absorb their listeners with lingering ballads and fast paced toe-tappers. Formed in 2003, Red Riders are relative old hands in today's "flash in the [...]
For years, the realization that July had become August produced a Pavlovian sense of dread in me. As a kid, August was the month in which we were herded back into the educational system. The first day of the month made that impending event palpable to me. Sure, there was still a few weeks of warm days spent idly doing nothing at all, but - deep down - I felt the awful truth that it was over. Wimbledon and the 4th of July - two signposts of summer for me - had [...]
Well, for the first time in two weeks I'm not watching NBC 's coverage of the Olympics and I am having the same disoriented feeling as I do during the switch to/from Daylight Savings Time. I miss Al Michaels. I'm wondering what's going on in Whistler. And though I never did quite understand curling, the event had me spellbound. But it was all pretty swell. You did good, Canada. You won a record amount of gold medals and the US won a record amount of total [...]
Homebake is Australias premiere all-local festival, boasting an illustrious heritage cemented in the history books of the Australian music industry.

I am lost for inspiration at the moment, the fact that it is Thursday usually puts me in a jolly mood, but the fact that I have to work a whole day tomorrow before my weekend starts, now that sucks. In my state of boredom I have invented a new game to help me with my blog posts, its called the Itunes Shuffle. I am going to put on my itunes play a song and hit next, that track and the following four tracks will be blogged, it does not matter about the genre or potentially how embarrassing the song [...]
Drowned In Colour is the long awaited second full length album from Sydney boys Red Riders . Their first single "You've Got A Lot Of Nerve" has been floating on the air waves for sometime now. They have just released the very catchy second single "Ordinary" which is grasping wider audiences with it's post punk feel. This solid release is backed up by numerous tracks with layering guitar effects and upbeat pop lyrics. Not all tracks on the album match the charged opener, you soon feel the changing mood and a variety of influences softly coming through. [...]
Lately I've been feeling a real lack in quality within the whole remix culture side of music. I just went on a rampage and sorted through 945 new blog posts in my much-neglected feed reader, so when I get through that hopefully I will have found some good stuff for you guys. In the mean time, I've been getting into a few albums which are certainly worth a gander. [...]
The Music Alliance Pact (MAP) began in October 2008 as an initiative to facilitate the spread of local music to the ears of others around the world. It started with 12 country specific blogs who each selected one hot local track that was posted on the sites of each of the other members of this "union". Now there are 26 countries included and I'm loving the diversity of the artists that get chosen. It's such a great idea--it makes heaps of sense that someone who lives and breathes a countries music, culture and language would be the one in the [...]

In all the hype surrounding the death of Michael Jackson , one thing that has resonated with me is the impact he had not just on music, but on music videos. It has been said that he was responsible for changing the humble music video from being a simple promotional tool into an art form. It's true. Think Thriller , think Bad ...this is where the film making/story telling era of the videos started. I mean, Martin Scorsese directed Bad....did you know that? Would Michael Jackson be as big a "thing" if we [...]
Red Riders had me worried for a while. Band members were leaving and time was ticking by without much action. It was a shame, not just because of the awesome music they proudce, but because they're genuinely nice guys. So it's great to see that they're back on track and sounding better than ever. They've picked up Brad Heald from The Vines and will be releasing their second album in early July. The first single to come off it was You've Got a Lot of Nerve . I liked it from the beginning, but the more I listen, the [...]

Influences of the band are cited as mid 80s fellow Aussie acts like The Go-Betweens , The Triffids , and The Church . Follow the jump to read a brief interview with lead singer Alex Grigg, check some dates and grab a tune. [...]
