What you would be doing if not singing: I would be dead…or possibly in science of some sort. I have no idea why, but I really love random facts about the human body and I like to know how things work.

The album features [...]

Following a disappointing day in 2009, Laneway Music Festival 2010 had a new look and a new location at Footscray Community Arts Centre.  Bright and early (though not too early) fans flocked to Footscray station to walk their way to the festival gates in already searing heat.

Arriving fashionably late due to the chronic disorganisation of [...]

It was chance that Indigo4music happened upon Jackson McLaren, a young talent with nothing but the world before him. We somehow found ourselves at a table with a talented bunch of Queenscliff artists who had retired for the night but not quite to their beds yet, having a few drinks as the spirit of the [...]

“so i bought an awesome new ukulele and decided to make a track using only uke and drum samples… it gets more and more bizarre as you keep listening so dont stop before the drum stuff comes in, and i apologise for a disturbing amount of reverb, it really is quite enough haha : P [...]

The beautiful, the eccentric and the overwhelmingly talented Karen O and her NYC band mates, Brian Chase (drums) and Nick Zinner (guitar), treat Melbourne to not one; not two; but three energy filled performances this coming festive period. Aside from their headlining appearance at the Falls Festival in Lorne and Marion Bay over New Years [...]

Tarcutta playing at the Bar Open at 10am

The amazing and ever-so-funny Mal Webb summed himself up beautifully by interupting our interview in the first 10 seconds, yelling, “I LOVE TRAINS!” in response to the “choo” of the QMF festival train. By far the most eccentric musician we interviewed over the weekend, Mal Webb has had a fascinating and varied career.
Playing drums at [...]

“If they get any better, I am definitely going to have to fire them” – Clare Bowditch

All the way from [...]

It’s that time of the year again when the weather’s getting warmer, the beers are getting colder, and for many Melburnians these are the only excuses needed to plan a big night out on the town. Over the past few years the boys from Trial Kennedy have been lucky enough to experience some of their [...]

Rudely Interrupted are one of Australias truly unique indie rock acts. 5 out of the 6 members share a range of both physical and intellectual disabilities (Blindness, Deafness, Aspergers, Autism and Down Syndrome) but most importantly, a common interest in self expression through music. Their achievements, both personal and professional to date are extraordinary.
With a [...]

Peter Combe returns with a full band in his first ever Over 18’s Christmas show. Expect songs from Peter’s Christmas Album including the irresistibly singable ‘Happy Christmas to You and to You and to You’ (remember the gorgeous clip on ABC TV in the early 90’s?), plus of course super happy Christmas renditions of ‘Newspaper [...]

Multi-instrumentalists Kitty, Daisy & Lewis play guitar, piano, banjo, lap steel guitar, [...]

Akron/Family are a band whose musical explorations are virtually without limits. From percussive thunder and anthemic guitars, to celebratory gospel sing-along, to primal punk rock and heavy free jazz, this is a group boiling over with ideas. With an unhinged live show that is becoming a thing of legend, Akron/Family are heading to Australia for [...]

After a successful 5 week tour of the US and Canada, iconic Australian band The Church return home for a national tour in November and December.

Much-loved Aussie stalwarts Boom Crash Opera are back to play one last show for 2009! They are returning to the very thing that made them unquestionably one of Australia’s premier acts of the 80’s and 90’s… good old-fashioned pub rock. You can expect to hear them perform all their Top Ten hits, the anthemic choruses [...]

What happens when you cross an Iguana with a Gecko???
…who fucking cares!!!  …but if you really want to know, come down to The Spot in Brunswick on Sunday night, the 22nd of November, to hear the hybrid animal playing, with Louise Cuming on Trombone (Iguana/Gecko), Glen Scowen on Bass (Gecko), Justin Olsson on Drums (Iguana/Gecko), and [...]

After seeing Bob play last night at The Spot, I imagine it’s only going to get bigger and better, so get on it people! Described as ‘country funking geetar infused groove music’, this band has a ridiculous amount of personality.
Their music is filled with high energy improvisations and a unique and recognisable group sound, all [...]

Nothing could have prepared the Northcote Social Club’s band room carpets for the sweaty assault it received on Tuesday night. Lead by the Gambian Master Drummer, Ebrima ‘King’ Marong, Afro Mandinko’s 10 piece band concluded their residency at the NSC, going out with a bang.
