In Words: Courtney Barnett + D.D Dumbo + Mosman Alder @ The Zoo, 11.10. 2014
There was life before Kate Bush and there is life after Kate Bush. The live shows I’ve been to in the last couple of months just haven’t do it for me and it’s all La Bush’s fault for putting on the greatest show ever. Some words have been written about those few August days in […]

Song of the Day #694 – Quiet Marauder
With one hundred and eleven songs on their quadruple album ‘Men’, Cardiff’s Quiet Marauder have more than enough songs to have run from one end of the music spectrum to the other and this record goes all over the map. Well maybe not dixieland or bebop jazz or throat singing, but they cover a lot […]
Peaking Lights – Cosmic Logic (Domino)
It’s funny. Mike plays New Order’s Technique all the time in the shop, and some folks have told him how dated it sounds. To them we say, ha. Have you heard what the kids are into lately? Clear a space. Peaking Lights and I are gonna rumble. From the outset, I knew I could pin […]

Philip Selway – Weatherhouse (Bella Union)
Open mind and ears, I swore to myself before diving into Weatherhouse. Never mind that Philip Selway hails from the obelisk contingency that is Radiohead. Let’s isolate this thing, then. An ordinary ancestral manor in the shady and ever-shifting landscape populated by pop music. High ceilings, high windows. A large study with a wall of […]

LADY GAGA’S artRAVE | THE ARTPOP BALL @ Brisbane Entertainment Centre, 26.08.14
Words and photography: Everett True She is my new God. She understands that at the core we are all lonely, we are all lost and searching for meaning, however fleeting. She is willing to embody that meaning. She knows at heart we are all lost, bewildered children searching for the ultimate heavy metal lick. She […]
The Ballet School – The Dew Lasts An Hour (Bella Union)
Well, I won’t lie. When I plucked Ballet School out of the lineup, I thought for sure I’d singled out another case of all-men groups dubbing their bands with feminine names (see Woman’s Hour, Girl Band). I stand corrected. However. As we all know, having the prerequisite chick on vocals don’t getcha a free pass […]
