The Belair Lip Bombs opened their Australian tour The Belair Lip Bombs opened their Australian tour with two sold out nights at Richmond’s iconic Corner Hotel. Image credit: @leecrawford19 Since becoming the first Aussie act to sign with Jack White’s Third Man Records back in 2024 it has been a busy 18 months for the Frankston indie rockers. A reissue of their debut album Lush Life and a 25-date North American tour supporting Spacey Jane are just a couple of the highlights, and let’s not forget the small matter of their upcoming support slots for the Foo Fighters in Melbourne and Sydney this coming November… Read the full piece on our website.
Trying to get much better at remembering to share Trying to get much better at remembering to share content here as well as on the website! Much of this page is now very focused on Aussie music but I do like to keep an ear to the ground about bands from ‘back home’ and I am really taken with this new release from @vonavella You might remember they were featured in our songs to brush your teeth to a little while ago and now the rest of that album is here! Reflecting quite a change from their debut the now five-piece band have put out this musically jaunty yet lyrically quite sombre record. Head to our website to read more and find out which tracks we loved the most.

We had the pleasure of catching up with Sydney ART We had the pleasure of catching up with Sydney ARTIST MUNGMUNG to talk about her recently released EP FEI, musical inspos and our shared love of 00s hip-hop! MUNGMUNG is one of those artists that people seem to struggle to put in a box genre wise, so I began by asking how she would describe her music: “I wouldn’t say that I’m creating a specific genre, per se, but maybe, let’s just frame it in a way where it’s like, I love hip hop and R&B so much, and I’m contributing to that. Like with my own touch, with my own little swagaliciousness, with my own story to tell kind of thing.” Swipe for more highlights and head to the website for the full article!
The current Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds’ tour is c The current Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds’ tour is called the Wild God tour after the bands latest album, and it’s clear that’s how Nick’s most die hard fans see him, as a kind of wild musical god. These most loyal fans, who clearly got here much earlier than I did, stand right by the stage reaching up adoringly as he performs inches away, their faces radiant, their screams strong. Some of these people have been following this man and this band for longer than I’ve been alive. It’s powerful to watch these interactions that become almost spiritual at times...
