Label: True Panther Sounds Release date: 30/08/10 Link: Myspace Much like the bands' hometown and the name of their album, Memphis, Magic Kid's debut evokes thoughts of a bygone era, Elvis Presley, 1950's high schools, and vintage rock and roll. The group of five's debut provides 11 snippets of sunshine-filled surf pop that verge on the sickly sweet. A lot has been made of the band's Beach Boys influences too, and there is no getting away from it. The [...]

Yep, another festival break down. This time I'll give you my picks for The Pyramid Rock Festival , which is held down at Phillip Island (VIC) about an hour or so from Melbourne, held from December 30 th - January 1st. I suppose this is your alternative festival for NYE if you're not into Falls or if you've recovered from the Merideth Music Festival . Or you could just come hang out with me, I'm sure I'll be being trashy at some apartment in the city again. Enough [...]

All photography by Minh Lee Only its fourth year Field Day has already experienced its fair share of teething problems. The infamous first year saw over-crowding issues result in long toilet queues with the prospect of a clutching a cold beverage in your hand a thing of myth, whilst the proceeding two years were a complete wash out with sound issues to boot. The line-up however has always been the festivals saving grace, boasting performances from Florence & The Machine , Foals , Laura Marling , Mogwai , Wild Beasts [...]
I think its safe to say its festival season right now. With Field Day in the past, and fair few others in the future, its the best time of year. Technically Nathan, and I did go to Field day, its just that we were behind the bar. So we didn't really get to see many bands. However, using cleverly placed breaks, we managed to see some bands that interested us. I only saw Gold Panda, who was fucking awesome, totally lived up to my expectations. He definitely maintained the fragmented beats in his set, its quite easy to [...]

Now in its third year, London's Field Day festival happens next weekend and as always promises to be a kaleidoscope of genres and music. From electronic craftsman Andrew Weatherall to the brilliant mind of former Beta-Band'er Steve Mason . The eclectic line up features a range of hotly tipped musicians such as current French fancies, Phoenix ; random sampler Matthew Herbert and riotous noiseniks, These New Puritans . Part of Field Day's charm is its desire to champion new and upcoming artists across a range of spheres [...]

It's been almost 4 years exactly since I saw We Are Scientists at Roseland Ballroom opening for Arctic Monkeys. That was the first, and also the last, time I have ever seen the guys play live. Thankfully I had the opportunity to play catch-up on their live performance last night at The Bowery Ballroom. The opener was Rewards , the solo project of Chairlift's guitarist, Aaron Pfenning. If you remember, Keith Murray mentioned them when we interviewed him earlier this year. Dev Hynes, a.k.a. Lightspeed Champion accompanied him. With no drummer, his set [...]
For those that haven't been before - Field Day is my favourite London based festival where they a offer a spectacular lineup of great bands and fit it all into a single day in Victoria Park on 31/07. But it is more than just the music as it comes with one big village atmosphere - and yes it often rains but then you just get hay fights... We are lucky enough to have a pair of tickets to give away, and you can enter this competition in a couple of ways (and yes you can enter [...]
No one can call Brooklyn-based rockers We Are Scientists one-dimensional. The band has engaged in extracurricular activities ranging from creating a comedic TV series to self-improvement seminars. However, singer/guitarist Keith Murray and bassist Chris Cain have returned to their day job to release fourth album Barbara (PIAS/Masterswan). WAS, who were without a drummer since the [...]
