A slightly less manic week for gigs, but some incredible shows (look at Friday and Saturday, OMFG I’m spoilt for choice)

Who will you be watching live next weekend?

@_gypsylee_ released her latest EP ‘On A Mission from God and Gucci’ recently. So we asked her a few questions about how it feels to have been in the industry from such a young age, what she’d tell her younger self and that slightly unhinged vibe of the EP. Swipe to read!

This week’s listen was a difficult one! There were sooo many great tracks this week and it’s one of the longest shortlists I’ve had in a while.

Anyway, swipe to see the great selection of tracks I’ve picked out for you to listen to this week and remember to check out the playlist on YouTube, Tidal or Spotify.

Calico City recently released their debut EP ‘Seco

Calico City recently released their debut EP ‘Second In Line’ which we really enjoyed so we were keen to get a few more details about what it’s like in a six-piece band, their writing process and the track they’re most proud of on the EP.

Swipe to read some of their responses and head to the website for the full interview.

I’m getting super excited for the upcoming Buoys’ album in a couple of weeks so here’s a throwback to their last Melbourne show (I think) and this gorgeous rendition of Arm Wrestle

I love this beautiful release from @ashajefferies

It has some of the most beautiful lyrical moments and is one of those albums that only truly reveals itself when you’re really listening.

Second track, Lilo and Switch is an absolute must listen!

Next week’s Melbourne live music guide is here!
You’ll notice it’s a very slightly rebranded guide as I try to squish a few extra gigs on the list. This week’s list has over 170 shows across roughly 50 venues. We’re so lucky to have such a fantastic live music scene here in Naarm/Melbourne.

I always love the chance for the odd catch up with a band from ‘back home’ so it was such a pleasure to get to ask @bigspecial_ a few questions about their latest album O’Joy, songwriting as a duo and how it feels travelling the world performing their distinctly British music.

This one was a big chat, so head to the website to read the full version.

It’s been quite the time for festival announcements! Swipe to see some of the latest ones and some of our other Australian tour news for this week.

Same new music recommendations, slightly new look!

Same new music recommendations, slightly new look!
I was feeling all kinds of emo this week when I started building this list so I make no apologies for the melancholy vibes.

Swipe to see what you should be listening to.

Bleakly melancholy, Colorado by Jesse Jo Starn perfectly sets the scene for this week’s list (It’s largely one of yearning). This gentle track sees Stark combining lyrical clarity with heavy emotions giving us a glimpse into her latest body of work.

Speaking on her upcoming release MUSE she shares:

“Writing is like bleeding. It’s gonna be a bitch to sing these songs”

And you can feel that in Colorado, it’s in the ache of the lyrics and the way some lines are delivered so slowly, as if it’s an effort to share the words.

Telenova’s Happy does contain beats of optimism alongside its yearning qualities. It’s sort of a darker take on 00’s pop. There’s these brighter elements in the music but ultimately it’s quite a depressing track at times.

“Despite the tough exteriors, the ‘having it together’, the nonchalant facades that a lot of us out there wear, we’re all masking hurts, disappointments, insecurities at times.” explains frontwoman Angeline Armstrong “‘Happy’ is a bit of a ‘heart cry’, we wanted to give voice to what a lot of people in this world are feeling in a very real and simple way

Hannah’s first single in three years Arm’s Length is told through the eyes of an anxious person as it explores attachment and the interplay of anxious and avoidant attachement styles. There’s a wistfulness in the song that isn’t quite hopefulness, but it soon gives way to a sad acceptance about how this relationship will progress.

Of the song, Hannah says – “I wrote Arm’s Length while watching attachment theory play out in real time with a new person. I found myself noticing all of their avoidant tells and feeling like I (finally) knew better. There is something almost funny about watching the dynamic unfold from this place of understanding it – I think this song was my way of telling myself “you know how this goes”.”

Alt-pop One More Hit is definitely one of the more upbeat tracks on this week’s list. The fast paced drums lift its energy as it tells
