Get your diary out and lock in Saturday, February 21 2015! Mountain Sounds Festival is back for round two and offers a huge lineup jam-packed with a variety of local legends. After a successful inaugural event earlier this year featuring Sticky Fingers, Ball Park Music, The Holidays and Snakadaktal (RIP), we are psyched to see […]
HE’S COMING BACK! That’s right, the legend that is Danny Brown just hasn’t had his fill of Australian crowds yet, and has just announced two sideshows for his Field Day appearance! Brisbane and Melbourne will be treated to performance from one of this year’s hottest acts, as he wraps up his incredibly packed tour schedule […]
If you can wake from your inevitable New Year’s Eve hangover, a smashing festival is waiting on your doorstep on New Year’s Day. In easily their best line-up ever, Field Day has incredibly pulled the likes of Alt-J, SBTRKT, Milky Chance, RUFUS and Bastille for their day-long festival. But that’s merely the beginning: Lineup: SBTRKT […]
Okay, so by now we should have all soaked up the announcement for Future Music Festival 2015 and who you’re dead keen on seeing. Always a stellar day out (depending on which way you look at the torrential rain in years gone by) and for many an opportunity to see acts that don’t typically tour down under. The […]
Sam Herring, the most peculiar breakout celebrity of this year, has just hurled himself across the stage at the Joy Eslava in Madrid. He bellows out one of those Letterman-famed guttural growls, and slices up his arm and hand on the equipment. Blood streams down his arm and, no doubt, he doesn´t notice it for […]
Saturday morning was rough. Having lost a battle between myself and a BYO Asian restaurant, the thought of The Blurst of Times that day was making me cringe from my sick bed. However, Coopers Red always comes in handy, and we were off to Fortitude Valley for the second year of the event. Whatever remnants […]
Listen up, East-Coasters! There’s a band heading your way in December that you’d be silly not to catch. Mosman Alder, a 6 piece from Brisbane, are making their way along the coast to perform tracks from their recent debut album, Humdrum Star. Performances up their sleeves (all 12 of them) include sets at this year’s BIGSOUND, […]
As I watched hundreds of rowdy teenagers, intoxicated 30-somethings, and even a legion of those long past their mid-life crises flailing around in euphoria, I couldn’t help but muse over the parallels of The Cat Empire’s name and the Internet. It occurred to me that they are not so different after all – millions around […]
The illustrious Golden Plains is back for their ninth, yes – ninth, turn at taking over the Meredith Supernatural Amphitheatre in 2015. This in itself is a huge feat for a festival that has never compromised their beliefs and values (BYO, no commercial sponsors, no dickheads, one stage etc), but their first lineup announcement is […]
The coolest new festival to hit the east coast kicks off this Saturday, and it is filled to the brim with unreal Australian acts. Headlined by Brisbane’s DZ Deathrays, the festival starts in Brisbane before heading to Melbourne and Sydney. One of the most anticipated sets comes from Melbourne’s Dick Diver, a four piece that […]
