I don’t remember the first time I saw Charli XCX, back at Parklife in 2012. She was playing a very early afternoon slot, possibly the first or second act of the day, on the second (or was it third) stage. I have the photos to prove I was there but that’s the only memory. I’ll […]

Photo: Sian Stacey The big music “news” in Australia in the last couple days has been the announcement of Taylor Swift’s Australian tour dates and that she’s only playing dates in Sydney and Melbourne. I guess if you’re a Taylor Swift fan not living in Sydney or Melbourne, that’s pretty annoying but anyone not living […]
Song of the Day #782: Water From Your Eyes

Photo: Eleanor Petry Well, this is just great. On first listen it reminds me a bit of Nine Inch Nails but without the all the machoism and put through a more of a cool indie filter rather than an angry man industrial noise one. The band themselves name drop the futurist-pop moves of Japanese composer […]

Photo by Anita Shao Something from the open browser tab collection that I’ve been meaning to post up for a while. Summer in Brisbane is the worst. The heat, the humidity, where any small task not done in air con leaves you in need of a small sit down, a shower and a change of […]
Song of the Day #780: Baby Cool

We gave Brisbane’s Nice Biscuit a very overdue Song Of The Day last year. Today’s song is from Baby Cool, a side project by Nice Biscuit’s co-front woman Grace Cuell. With its prominent pedal steel, quiet drums and ethereal and slightly haunting vocals, Daydream, reminds me of the Cowboy Junkies but there’s also a brightness […]
Song of the Day #779: Doggie Heaven

Photo: James Caswell Another band on my “Brisbane bands I really need to see and it’s really quite shameful that I haven’t yet” list is Doggie Heaven. Brisbane always seems to do really good Post-Punk/New Wave sounding bands. ‘Berghain’ is a superbly crafted slice of synth pop, with touches of New Order at their mid-80s […]
Song of the Day #778: Sleep Token

There’s something so seductive about Sleep Token. A group of masked, anonymous musicians a lead singer called “Vessel”. The intrigue is enhanced by their lack of interviews – one back in 2017 is all I could find. A band “united in their worship of an ancient deity identified by them as “Sleep”, who appeared to […]
Song of the Day #777: Sleaford Mods

New Year and everything and there I am trying to decide on the first Song Of The Day for 2023. Something optmistic and uplifting? Positive vibes to start the year in anticipation of better times? But then the new Sleaford Mods song arrived in my inbox along with the Cold War Steve video and it […]
Song of the Day #776: Momma

Sometimes the algorithm actually works. Look, I’m just as surprised as you. ‘More like Horsegirl’ it told me so I checked out a few of the recommendations including Momma. Even before we started I was the guy 26 second into this video clip, *rolls eyes* – “Momma, urgh” because you have entire languages of a […]

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 […]
