Fortitude Music Hall Opening Party, 26.07.2019

It had the hype. The media was all over it. 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 […]

My Own Pet Radio – Unidentified Flying Collection of Awesome (Mucho Bravado)

If you’re familiar with Ball Park Music, tune out for a bit. If you’re not, well, Sam Cromack makes jangly, slightly off-kilter, overly self-concious and highly infectious pop tunes with his band mates in BPM.

Triple J Week – Tuesday 26 October

Day 2 of Triple J week here on Collapse Board and business as usual, with not a whole lot of difference from yesterday. Once again Australian music dominates, although the percentage is slightly down from Monday’s 50%. Less songs were played today than yesterday, 108 versus 114, mainly as a result of The Doctor being […]
