After Groovin The Moo in Townsville wrapped up, it was time to head down to Flinders Social for an intimate club experience with ALISON WONDERLAND and DZ DEATHRAYS . This was an amazing evening and the audience consisted of a lot of other big names who played at the festival. Probably the nicest guy in the Australian music industry, Vincent from MIDNIGHT JUGGERNAUTS was seen up the front of the dance floor busting a move, FLUME was happily chatting to excited punters, while [...]
The open paddocks of Maitland became home to about 10,000 punters on the chase for good music this passing Saturday, for the annual Groovin The Moo installment. We decided we’d take our cameras along. This year’s Groovin The Moo saw a broad collective of Australian and international artists take to the land of the cow to grant us some rural love, including Tame Impala, The Kooks, Shockone, Example and Flume.

"Force yourself to smile and you’ll soon stop frowning. Force yourself to laugh and you’ll soon find something to laugh about. Wax enthusiastic and you’ll very soon feel so. A being causes his own feelings. The greatest joy there is in life is creating. Splurge on it!" If you don't know those words, you will after hearing them repeated over and over on this ghastly 2001 album released by [...]
One of the defining bands of the indie rock explosion of the mid-00’s, Art Brut arrived with a style that was very unique for the time and, inevitably, is so overdone today. Their mix of thick-English-accented Sprechstimme and garage rock influenced music (imagine The Hives if they were from Bournemouth) influenced a flurry of bands after them, like The Fratellis and The Kooks . But Art Brut were not only the originals, but the best, with lead [...]
The festivals are a'coming and Groovin The Moo is about to kick off this weekend for their annual national tour! Being a regional festival Groovin ’ has been giving those kids who live outside our bustling cities the chance to see their favourite musicians play their best tracks in front of a lovely rural setting. Last year the festival hosted acts as big as PUBLIC ENEMY and WAVVES (whose set was unfortunately cut short because of technical issues) and local acts such as 360 , BLUEJUICE [...]
The recent news about the wack-job Elvis (and others) impersonator sending politicians envelopes laced with deadly ricin reminded me of the pioneer of this genre, Robert Alberg. When we wrote about him some years ago, he was being sentenced to five years' probation, mental-health treatment and a residential placement in a group home, and his album was no longer available, so I posted it. Incredibly, he's back, selling both his original collection, and a new one. And he sounds even worse (as you can [...]

With Ex- GAMEBOY/GAMEGIRL legend and now DJ/producer legend TRANTER coming down to CANT SAY Melbourne on April 19 to perform an exclusive 'Throwback Set' on April 19, we thought we'd get him to do our 'Guest Soundcloud Wrap' for this week.

Now he's honed his giant hands at the art of DJing and making dance music. He dropped an EP on Scattermusic to rapturous acclaim from DJs who have good names like Zombie Disco [...]

Chicago youngin's Oscar and Harvey Baker and drummer Tom Fry have been getting a little flare of love from their hometown, but have yet to make it much further out. Listening to the trio's EP title track "Open Arms," the influences are obvious; modern alt Brit-pop in the ilk of Arctic Monkeys and the Kooks . In fact, the band revealed in a Filter interview that both the acts were primary influences, so Fletcher aren't ashamed of it. Check out "Open Arms" below and grab the EP of the same name [...]
