☀️🎸Perfect vibes catching Ocean Alley on their Love Balloon tour.

It was a great day with some solid festival feels and I’m so excited I finally got to see Rainbow Kitten Surprise!

Further support from Ruby Fields and Nothing But Thieves who were both awesome too.

Also could there have been a better venue for Ocean Ally than by the beach at sunset?

If you’re keen to hear more details head to our website.

Revisited Arctic Monkey’s Whatever People Say I Am

Revisited Arctic Monkey’s Whatever People Say I Am That’s What I’m Not 20 years on.

An album that was as much about the momentum as the music, it’s widely heralded as the defining sound of indie rock music of the early 00’s. Head to our website to read the detailed post.

I’m in my Brain Again is the debut album from Slow

I’m in my Brain Again is the debut album from Slowcoaching, the moniker of Melbourne-based artist Dean Valentino. Almost a decade after the release of his EP All The Same, this album, which saw its beginnings during lockdowns, has been quite a journey.

I can’t fully describe how much I enjoyed this album. It’s musically, so cohesive, thematically complex and it feels like it’s drawing you in to a world of secrets. I’d highly recommend listening.

This one’s been on the back burner for a little while but it’s a deep dive I’ve wanted to formalise for a long time. Alex turning 40 finally got me motivated to finish it.

Another small change for 2026!

The reality is, I always wanted to call it Songs To Brush Your Teeth To but I let people get in my head about it being too “out there” and went for something more generic. So I’m taking it back to its original self.

Same deal, 5 tracks I think you should listen to each week (like when you’re brushing your teeth or something), they get added to a rolling playlist (now on Tidal and Apply Music as well as Spotify). You still get to discover new music, I get my quirky name back. It’s a win win.

We’ll now be bringing you a weekly guide of all the best live music Melbourne has to offer. Just swipe to see your options from stadium shows to tiny band rooms.
