AUSTRALIAN MIXTAPE
It’s so easy to offend weiners on the internet. I could talk about Frankly Festival and point out the fact that most Brisbane gig goers are as clicky as fuck and cliched cunts – but I feel that controversy has been well represented throughout music blogs as of late. So this is my virtual mix […]
The Collapse Board Interview: Doug Martsch (Built to Spill)
By Ben Morgan Boise’s Built to Spill are an interesting example of what it has meant to be an ‘indie rock band’ over three decades. After two early nineties releases on small northwest USA record labels C/Z and Up!, they were one of many rock bands who signed a deal with a major record label […]
Florence + The Machine + King Princess @ Brisbane Entertainment Centre, 17.03.2023
Friday morning finds me doing the weekly shopping and at one stage parked to a very expensive-looking red sports car, its body work adorned with a strange mix of Wiccan imagery but also actual Bible quotes. Later on that evening, I can’t help but wonder whether the driver is here watching Florence + The Machine. […]
Song of the Day #775: Guppy
Screengrab image via Blend42 Regrets, I’ve had a few, but then again too few to mention. One of my biggest regrets as far as the Brisbane music scene goes is that I never got to see Go Violets. I was forever writing their shows in my diary and missing them never mattered until they went […]
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. […]
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 […]
Our Annotated Commentary to the Worst Piece of Journalism 2018
Between rock and a safe space [To suggest that rock is diametrically opposed to safe spaces is abhorrent. Already the author is twisting music to their own political agenda, which, as you will see, is some kind of white heterormative male hegemony of rock.] Tormented by allegations of white supremacy, misogyny and transphobia, the band […]
Phoenix @ The Forum, Melbourne, 26.02.2018
Jeez louise – Phoenix have been around for a while. Having released their debut record United back in 2000, they’re coming up on 20 years as a commercial band – reading into it a little more they smashed that barrier last year since they technically formed in ‘97. A lot of people my age would […]
Song of the Day 169: Camp Cope
The original plan was to give today’s Song of the Day to Camp Cope’s ‘The Opener’. “Wait!” you exclaim. “What?” you ponder, with a furrowed brow. “Didn’t you already give Camp Cope’s ‘The Opener’ Song Of The Day status a few weeks back? Have you lost it Collapse Board? Are you drunk? Too much aluminium […]
