The Basics… do these guys even need an introduction anymore?
We tend to write about them every couple of weeks so I think it’s safe to say that we’re fans, and like any good fan, we are going absolutely mental over their brand new everything-but-”Basic” single, their nautically themed music video and now, the announcement [...]

The Bawdies Vs. The Basics double headlining tour; a tour that we’ve all seen previously at the Hopetoun Hotel back in 2007, but only thought would happen again in our wildest dreams. Somehow, those dreams came true, and Thursday night saw The Bawdies rip up the stage once again alongside The Basics; this time at [...]

Here’s a few snaps from Mercy Arms’ gig at Oxford Art Factory last Friday night. Hopefully these photos speak for themselves because I really don’t have much to say about this show, except this: White. Lots of white.

More photos at our Flickr gallery.

Just a couple of shots from The Watt Riot at the Annandale Hotel on Thursday night. More over at our Flickr.

Many moons ago when I was a wee lass, I saw a band that were not much older than I at the time, by the name of The Music. Their debut self-titled album completely blew me away, their live show was absolutely phenomenal, and before long I realised that I was pretty fanatical about these [...]

Way back before there was anything as ultra trendy as the Oxford Arts Factory there was a little venue by the name of The Oxford Tavern in the heart of the South Coast; Wollongong. I ventured down on ye olde locomotive on Friday afternoon to witness some pretty impressive Folky-Punky-Pirate magic by the name of [...]

Last night a bunch of up and coming Aussie hip hop acts came together and “raised the roof” right off the Annandale. The night featured performances from True Vibenation, Rapaport, Natural Causes and Reverse Polarities; with all the cashola made from ticket sales going straight into Oxfam’s giant pocket. Here’s a couple of snaps from [...]

If you’ve swung by this blog lately and noticed all of the Web 2.0 dust collecting (or alternatively wondered why our RSS feed wasn’t updating YOU TECH HEAD VIRGIN DWEEB) it’s because for the very first time since we launched way back in oh six (besides the time we relocated HQ) we decided to take [...]

One of my worst nightmares came true the other night when I arrived late for a show I was meant to be photographing. That show was theredsunband at the Oxford Art Factory, and although I didn’t make it into the venue until half way through the set, I still managed to get completely blown away [...]

Here’s a few shots taken at the Essential Festival on Friday. It was a great day of music and a good opportunity for me to see a bunch of bands I normally wouldn’t have gone to see. I left half way through Ratatat due to the fact that by that point it just got too [...]

From the combined genius of the man with more mash than a lousy London pub meal (The E.L.F.) and the self-declared ONEMANPARTY (Steve Slingeneyer of Soulwax fame), comes this positively lovely remix of the former’s EP title track, “Stevie Nicks Heart”. Gone is the nostalgic 80’s blue light disco ’slow song’ vibe, which has been [...]

I’ve spent most of today hunched over my laptop scratching my head, trying to figure out how to best review Saturday’s Die! Die! Die! Vs. All in Attendance show at the Oxford Art Factory. After several attempts, I’ve come to the conclusion that the only way to properly assess the ferocious evening of New Zealand [...]
