I couldn’t believe it. Just a few months after salivating over Ball Park Music’s Splendour set, here I was in the grand Enmore Theatre, about to witness it all over again. I had high expectations, and boy, did they deliver. As I entered, I was given the fabled pair of 3D glasses. With a taste […]
In between releasing three albums and touring around Australia, we had the opportunity to talk to Sam Cromack, lead singer of the wonderful Ball Park Music. They’re heading off on their Trippin’ The Light Fantastic tour, supporting the latest single from critically acclaimed 2014 album Puddinghead. If their shows are set to be even a little reminiscent of […]

They’re currently touring around with Ball Park Music and Papa vs Pretty, and have received some pretty awesome review so far.

Words by Billie-Jean Bullard Last Saturday I was lucky enough to find myself amongst the smell of pre-teen sweat and sticky floors at Ball Park Music’s Puddinghead 2014 Tour at the Metro theatre on George Street in Sydney. The five-piece indie/rock band first met in 2008 at university where Ball Park Music was born. A quaint little theatre, […]
Ball Park Music took the indie scene by storm in 2011, with the release of their criminally perfect debut album, Happiness and Surrounding Suburbs. Stellar songs like Literally Baby and It’s Nice to Be Alive, as well as the uncomfortably relatable Sad Rude Future Dude introduced us to a fun-loving five-piece intent on producing loud, lively and […]
If you have no plans, mediocre plans, or even good plans this weekend, ditch them. There is a festival THIS Saturday at Mt Penang Gardens (1.5hrs from Sydney) and it is gorgeous. The summery garden complete with waterfalls will host a range of bands, including Ball Park Music, Cosmo’s Midnight, The Holidays, Jinja Safari, Snakadaktal, […]
Ball Park Music, the dudes and gal responsible for Happiness and Surrounding Suburbs and Museum, are on the verge of dropping a third studio album in exactly a month (wow that’s close) and are set to commence their biggest Aussie tour yet. With all this going on, we thought it a primo time to catch […]
After our time spent at Falls Festival in Marion Bay, Tasmania, we’ve developed a somewhat informative list (I make lists all the time) of 9 rules/tips, that can hopefully help out future Falls-goers by learning from our many mistakes and few victories. Rule #1: Get your grog in. This one’s key. I don’t want to […]
It’s that time at last! Triple J Hottest 100 voting has opened. For those that don’t let their musical intelligence be insulted by Triple J, this year promises to be another hard slog at getting those 10 tracks perfectly right, so that you can just tick them off as they come up one by one […]
