OutsideIn Festival happened last Saturday at The Factory Theatre in Marrickville. It happened with serious style. It was a boutique, hipster-but-not-actually-annoying day with incredible music, lovely weather and surprisingly small bathroom queues. Astral People and Yes Please brought us a really, really well-picked mix of producers and artists from all corners of the (mostly) underground […]
Sydney’s best independent music radio station FBi turned ten last week, and celebrated in style this Sunday at Carriageworks. There was a fantastic crowd, incredible homegrown talent, delicious food and more. There was smiles all around and it was a testament to just how much support, love and respect FBi has garnered over the past […]
Listen Out is the new event from Fuzzy, the masterminds behind Field Day, Parklife (RIP…), Harbourlife and Shore Thing. They’re selling it as just a chilled out sort of party sort of vibe… and to be honest it sounds pretty cool. Hopefully it weeds out a few of the dickheads. Fingers crossed that hard gainers […]
OutsideIn Festival was hands down the best little festival that I went to in Sydney last year. Held at the Factory Theatre in Marrickville, it was REALLY small for a festival, appropriate considering it’s ’boutique’ status. The lineup was wicked. It was the first time (of now, many) I’d seen Flume, alongside Smoke DZA, HTRK, […]
The first time I saw Collarbones was last year at OutsideIn Festival at The Factory in Marrickville. A small but packed boutique hipster event, and my first electronic-focused festival. I had the time of my life. It mostly showcased semi-ambient electronica, or ‘space sound’ music as I like to call it. I had never heard of […]
If you’re thinking of coming across to Europe in the middle of year, and want a music fix, do not look past this unique experience on offer in Serbia. As a majority of you will be heading towards Croatia (which I am) and love music, EXIT Festival is only a short ride across in a […]
The wait is over. The 2013 Splendour in the Grass lineup has finally been announced. I have to say that I’m not sure some of these names have sunk in yet, but first impressions are that it is pretty massive. The SITG crew released the lineup via a videolink this morning. Our favourite acts that […]
James Blake has announced that he will be trekking back to our shores this July to play Splendour in the Grass 2013. If his absolutely headmental 2011 Splendour set is anything to go by, he is sure to keep punters happy with a punishing bass wobble and a blistering vocal delivery. With The Polyphonic Spree […]
The team from Splendour in the Grass has just announced that in 2013, it plans to finally move to its long planned permanent home at North Byron Parklands. The 13th SITG plans to be one of the biggest yet; the releases since last year’s festival have been outstanding, so it’s going to be a jam […]
Big Day Out is typically a festival I avoid like the plague. The crowds alone are enough to put a fella off catching the host of great bands they get to play, but this year they nailed the lineup so hardcore that I couldn’t resist. The lineup boasted some of the biggest named indie acts of […]
