Life went from making myself as busy as possible to keep my day job when suddenly everything ground to a halt, more or less overnight, to working flat out, pretty much
- [Song of The Day #761: U.S. Girls](http://collapseboard.com/song-of-the-day-761-u-s-girls/) - Here’s something else from Bills & Aches & Blues, the forthcoming 4AD tribute album to belatedly celebrate the label’s 40th birthday inn 2020. 4AD is a completely different label to what it was but it still has some great acts. Back in the day, thanks to Vaughn Oliver’s designs, 4AD records were instantly recognisable; you
- [Song of the Day #760 - Mess Esque (Mick Turner & McKisko) - Big Old Blue](http://collapseboard.com/song-of-the-day-760-mess-esque-mick-turner-mckisko-big-old-blue/) - It's been a year this week since I started working from home. Last week was the one year anniversary of the last time I went out and saw live music, with the Sleaford Mods show at Triffid. I think by then the following night's Pixies show had already been cancelled as everyone ran for cover
- [Song of the Day #759 - Tkay Maidza](http://collapseboard.com/song-of-the-day-759-tkay-maidza/) - I swear that every time Tkay Maidza releases a new song I say to myself "This has got to be posted up as a Song of the Day". Then time gets away from me, as it always does, and all I'm left with is a draft with a heading, an embedded clip and a promise

Even for a tiny outfit like ours, you wake up to around 70 new emails that have come in overnight from around the world and in a variety of languages and then receive another 50 or 60 from
- [The Collapse Board Interview: Jason Williamson (Sleaford Mods)](http://collapseboard.com/the-collapse-board-interview-jason-williamson-sleaford-mods/) - Thursday 12 March 2020 and I'm at Sleaford Mods sold out show in Brisbane at Triffid. The coronavirus is coming, shows are already being pulled. Pixies have cancelled their two Brisbane shows due to take place tonight and tomorrow, as well as the remaining dates on their 2020 Australian tour. It seems very strange that

- [Calexico - Seasonal Shift (Spunk!)](http://collapseboard.com/calexico-seasonal-shift-spunk/) - Let’s get it over and done with – 2020 hasn’t been a great year. Thank goodness for all the musicians of the world who’ve kept making music throughout this unspeakable pandemic. As most couldn’t travel and haven’t been allowed to play live, at least technology has enabled digital recording and sharing, and live streaming performances.
- [Cold Meat - Hot and Flustered’ (Helta Skelta Records)](http://collapseboard.com/cold-meat-hot-and-flustered-helta-skelta-records/) - Nearly half a century on, punk rock has been made palatable in some ways, through its inevitable dilution with pop, but Perth’s Cold Meat are a band who don’t wish their punk rock to be palatable for you, just as their name doesn’t bring to mind a palatable image – based, as it were, on
- [The Collapse Board Interview: Jess Cornelius](http://collapseboard.com/the-collapse-board-interview-jess-cornelius/) - After moving from New Zealand to Melbourne in the early 2000s, Jess Cornelius found fame through Teeth & Tongue, the band she formed in 2007. After releasing four critically acclaimed albums, Monobasic (2008), Tambourine (2011), Grids (2014) and Give Up on Your Health (2016), they disbanded in 2017, with Cornelius starting to release music under
- [The Collapse Board Interview: Kirsty Tickle (Party Dozen)](http://collapseboard.com/the-collapse-board-interview-kirsty-tickle-party-dozen/) - Party Dozen are a band that stays with you. On paper, a drummer/saxophonist duo might not sound like an obvious choice of band to go and see but with a bunch of effects pedals and some additional triggered electronica, Jonathan Boulet’s sophisticated drum patterns and Kirsty Tickle’s lung-bursting sax always provide a completely compelling set.
- [Brainbeau - Infinite Ways](http://collapseboard.com/brainbeau-infinite-ways/) - Listen to the introduction of Marvin Gaye’s 1977 single ‘Got To Give It Up’. The loose chatter, the casual clinking glasses. It feels like a party. The sound effects continue throughout the song, acting like any other instrument to put across a feeling of happiness and joy, of something bright and something fun. The Beach
- [The Collapse Board Interview: Mark Spinks (2 Chevrons)](http://collapseboard.com/the-collapse-board-interview-mark-spinks-2-chevrons/) - Whether an artist’s music reaches millions or just a dozen, the impact of their work is, in most cases, no less profound. Caroline Milne’s self-taught guitar playing and talent as a songwriter had been heard by few, if any, by the time Mark Spinks became aware of them. A veteran of the Australian underground, Mark

- [Queen + Adam Lambert @ Metricon Stadium, 29.02.2020](http://collapseboard.com/queen-adam-lambert-metricon-stadium-29-02-2020/) - I promised myself I would never do this. Never, ever. I just had no interest. Absolutely none. And it wasn’t just that, it was more. There was always something unsavoury about the whole thing. Why did I feel like this? Queen were the band of my youth, from start to finish, from 1980s Flash soundtrack

- [Hot Chip @ Forum Theatre, Melbourne, 07.03.2020](http://collapseboard.com/hot-chip-forum-theatre-melbourne-07-03-2020/) - The thing that’s really impressive about Hot Chip is the depths to which they can plumb their own sound. You go to their show - perhaps on a chilly March evening at The Forum in Melbourne - expecting a multitude of things. Maybe a detached Kraftwerk-esque display; perhaps a glorified DJ set, or possibly poppier

And yet despite the high profile, the songs on classic radio stations, the sell out arena shows, the TV interviews, the film cameos, Alice Cooper just does not get the widespread acclaim

Solid sets from the Last Dinosaurs, Tones and I, and other Aussie talent like Spacey Jane, Hatchie and Hope D keep the good vibes going all day. The sun is
- [The Collapse Board Interview: Falco (Mclusky)](http://collapseboard.com/the-collapse-board-interview-falco-mclusky/) - Despite living in London during their lifespan, Mclusky were a band that completely passed me by. Even though I read the NME weekly, or possibly because I read the NME weekly, they were a band that I can’t remember hearing or seeing anything about. Moving to Brisbane in 2005, it was a completely different story,
- [Cate Le Bon @ The Foundry, 12.12.2019](http://collapseboard.com/cate-le-bon-the-foundry-12-12-2019/) - Cate Le Bon is a semipopular artist. The kind music streaming and the current digital climate don’t treat too kindly. How she can bring herself and a backing band, including two saxophonists, halfway across the world to perform here in Brisbane tonight is a wonder in itself. There are some advantages to her situation

Exiting stage left was never going to be the option taken by Fucked Up's lead singer, ol' Pink Eyes himself, Damian Abraham, who instead leaves the stage via the front barrier.

It's less the wallowing in it than trying to understand it. Is it a natural part of the ageing process or is it a commercial construct? It's a slow creep, something that's getting worse, and yet something that I don't feel wholly responsible for or in control of. It's

- [SOTD #756 - Young Guv](http://collapseboard.com/sotd-756-young-guv/) - Versese are good. Choruses sometimes, often, can be even better. But then there’s that exclusive club of very special songwriters who can do all those things but can take it to the next level and also nail a pre-chorus and a middle eight. A pre-chorus being its own part but also effortlessly elevating the verse

Radio or TV, turn on either and you couldn’t escape the coverage. The opening of the Fortitude Valley Music Hall was an event. But it wasn’t just a happening for the city’s musical community. It was a bigger moment, one which made a statement about

The band plays with intensity. Like punk. But as with any kind of idealism you could throw around the P-word in this day and age the group sounds ragged, weathered and torn. ‘No Cold Solo in Red Hill’ tells you this before

The older records hold up, they seem to have the strength of resisting time. At their best moments Beach House transcend, pushing aside labels and cliché they touch upon white-hot moments of feeling and the spaces between. And just to go back on that earlier point, Beach House have been around

If I didn’t have to work, I’d probably buy a VW Kombi van or a convertible Mustang and take off with little more than a fridge, my music and my dog. At risk of being chastised by the family, I’ll qualify this by saying there is something deeply personal and

It’s as much curiosity about who comes to see "Bill Murray, Jan Vogler and Friends" as it is for curiosity about the show itself and how it will work. Is it going to be a all Wes Anderson aficionados? Is it going to be older classical music fans who are here

From watching Doctor Who from behind the sofa, to creepy TV show

Phantastic Ferniture's self-titled debut album gets the tick for 'pop' and 'fun', but not in that sickly boy-band/girl-band formulaic kind of way. It's much more cool. There's something that evokes the 80s for me, but the more I listen, the

Their new 4-track is a sludger, searing riffs and a whole lot of venom. A kind of dirty blues, albeit dragged through an underground silt then rubbed a little clean. The man who sings is not a happy one but if you’re feeling the magnetism then neither probably are you.

Nestled in out-of-the-way Brisbane, ‘Try’ caught ears. More than a few were in far-off places. From here Hatchie built a natural kind of momentum. An excitement that can’t be spun.

Just in time to catch the closing roar of Zola Jesus reverberating off of gallery walls, nothing more. But those few and final tortured howls? Powerful stuff. I have to admit being a little late arriving when it comes to catching Miss Blanks live. That’s not to claim

I don’t want to mention it here and it’s hard to say. I’ll put it across to like this. A few days ago, a woman was murdered. Eurydice Dixon, 22. Not much more than a child. She was walking home through a Melbourne park. Aspired to be a comedian.

Cardiff’s Soft Hearted Scientists know how to make eerie soft electronic psychedelia. The space between the notes, the light drums, the watery keys, the hardly hard-enough strumming of the guitar. On the first listen I just wanted

Even my six-year old self was bored of the heterosexual narrative, that constant refrain

Few religions pass the scrutiny of reason, but identity and happiness can’t be entrusted to a handful of fallible human beings, let along twenty-somethings with a whole life of lessons ahead of them. Eagulls had me for a while, though – and probably you, too, if you’re reading

On one hand, you’ve got the Ocean Party sensibilities of the Denton brothers, with their deeper-than-most guitar pop and perpetually anxious lyrics. On the other, you’ve got Mitch Clemens, who writes these lulling guitar tunes that might make you doze

Rarely anything that the indie world perceives as “pop” is ever popular, and then the stuff we perceive as “dreamy” rarely lulls us into any dream-like state of bliss. Mired in the existential angst of post-punk, “dreampop” done right leads us further into ourselves, to
