The Collapse Board Interview: Ed Kuepper (2019)
We last spoke to Ed Kuepper back in 2014 so we were never going to miss out on another opportunity to talk to the Brisbane legend and person responsible for the song that we took the name of our website from. We spoke to Ed about the new Aints 5-6-7-8-9 mini-album, his songwriting and what […]
The Collapse Board Interview: The Goon Sax
Ages ago I talked to Goon Sax about their excellent second album, We’re Not Talking. It was all ready to publish but being the week of the album’s release there was a glut of interview so I decided to hold off until their official launch shows a few weeks later. Then I was working interstate […]
The Collapse Board Interview – Amyl and the Sniffers
Since forming and releasing their first EP in 2016, it’s been a couple of meteoric couple years for Amyl and The Sniffers. From BIGSOUND to winning the Levi’s Music Prize to signing with legendary British label Rough Trade. From Melbourne to Europe and recording in Sheffield with Arctic Monkey and M.I.A producer Ross Orton and […]
The Collapse Board Interview – The Beasts
The Beasts of Bourbon played their final show in April 2018, a fundraiser for long-term bassist Brian Hooper. Although Hooper was able to perform with the band at the show, sadly he died six days later. Spurred on by the band’s singer, Tex Perkins, the remaining Beasts of Bourbon alumni gathered together in Melbourne’s Soundpark […]
The Collapse Board Interview: Glitoris
By Lauren Curtis Keven 007, Malcolm, Tony and Andrew are the Canberra four-piece Glitoris. Back in 2017, Everett gave their ‘Trump Card’ single his Song of The Day blessing. “It ain’t pretty. It ain’t nice. It ain’t all smoothed over or sucked dry. And the battle ain’t lost, I tell you. Not when we have […]
The Collapse Board Interview: Barry Burns (Mogwai)
Taking time out from rehearsals for a live TV performance – “I can’t tell you what the program is as we’ve signed a form that says we can’t tell anyone” – Collapse Board talks to Mogwai’s Barry Burns about the band’s latest album, the score to the sci-fi/crime drama, KIN, and some of the other soundtracks they have been involved in.
Looking back at growing up in the UK in the 1970s and talking about it with others who went through it, there’s a sense of a shared generational trauma, one that was beamed straight into your lounge room every day through the TV. From watching Doctor Who from behind the sofa, to creepy TV show […]
Q&A with WHALEHOUSE
Ben Snaath asks the questions, Sonya, Amy-Rose and Zoe from Brisbane’s WHALEHOUSE provide the answers. Can you tell me about your first rehearsal and the feeling of your first few shows versus where you rehearse now and how you approach gigs after the couple of years that you’ve been WHALEHOUSE? Sonya: I’m not shit at […]
Q&A with Cable Ties
Photo: Teds Records Cable Ties hold a special place as one of Melbourne’s most beloved bands, one in strong pedigree of fearless rock acts that are seemingly constantly shattering the boundaries of what you think they may achieve. In February, they’ll join artists like The War on Drugs, Aldous Harding, and Anderson Paak, in touring Australia’s […]
The Collapse Board Interview: Pete Oxley (Sunnyboys)
The other day I read a feature article about one of my all time favourite bands, The Jam – their individual style and musicianship, their rapid rise and premature break up, the precocious genius of frontman, Paul Weller, and the enduring love their fans still hold 40 years later. It made me contemplate the similar […]
The Collapse Board Interview: The Stems’ Dom Mariani
The ’80s were a decade defined by its sense of materialism and elitism. Capturing the zeitgeist music responded in kind with glitzy new wave, arena rock and synthetic pop dominating the airwaves. But as the raw sounds of the punk movement were petering out, evolving or sliding back into obscurity, a new generation of artists […]
