Welcome to your Weekly Playlist number one hundred and one. This week we’ve got some new treats from Editors, Deerhunter and Four Tet. Newish Music Editors – Life is a Fear After dropping off the radar for a while, Editors are back with their new single off their upcoming fifth album, ‘In Dream’, coming our […]
It’s been a long time. A year and a half after the release of the 99th Weekly Playlist, we’ve managed to make it to 100. When Giffo, the man, the myth, the legend, was writing these up they were a constant source of musical goodness for me as well as many others I’m sure. So keep your […]
“HOLY SHIT,” sums up my not so eloquent reaction to the first announcement for the 2015 edition of Melbourne’s Sugar Mountain. Jam packed with stellar acts, this lineup is the curveball we’ve been waiting for! Headlining the event is the one and only Nas who will be performing the iconic Illmatic in full. They’ve also […]
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard have been touring around the country the past month with psyche-blues quintet, The Murlocs, in tow. Not only do the bands share a common psyche aesthetic across their music, but they also share a number of band members. So to those who were standing around me at the gig […]
Garage-psyche rockers and prolific album makers (I’m talking four records since 2012), King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, are on the road at the end of this month and into September.

Having styled a unique sound, drenching psych rock in classic soul and blues, has been making waves at gigs and festivals around the world – not to mention earning the respect of bands like […]
This was my first foray into the world of Aunty Meredith’s festivals, and it’s safe to say it will not be my last. I can completely understand why this is an annual pilgrimage for many. The people, the land, the downright quirkiness of it all made for a near-perfect weekend of music, sunshine and all-around […]
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. Firstly, best name ever. Secondly, one of the best Aussie bands around and by far one of my favourite live acts. Every time I catch a show by the Melbourne seven-piece, I leave with a manic grin, covered in buckets of sweat and a healthy desire to party all […]
BIGSOUND Live 2013 was a whirlwind. Once again, the culmination of the greatest up and coming young acts from all across Australia and some overseas, provided for a men’al two nights of gigs, pre-parties, after-parties, and pre-after-post-BIGSOUND-parties. Thank you so much to SGC Media for running a flawless couple of days, I’m sure they’re only […]
