DAFT PUNK ARE PLAYING AT MY HOUSE! Sorry about the obvious intro folks, but somebody had to do it. They’ve been threatening to do it for years, and now it’s really happening: Daft Punk are coming to Australia.
This December, the French duo will be packing their best summer robot masks and heading to our [...]

Roll up, Roll up! The video for the carnival-esque third Young Mondern single, “If You Keep Losing Sleep”, is nothing short of a circus! Directed by the fine folks who gave us the video for “Reflections of a Sound”, Damon Escott and Stephen Lance have produced an ‘electrifying’ (groan) video featuring a 30 piece orchestra, [...]

Newsflash: Jack White laughs in the face of a well deserved break. Seriously, you’d think a guy who had just released a new album, played every square metre of Canada, portrayed Elvis Presley in an upcoming film and had a second kid in the short span of a couple of months would be up for [...]

If you’ve ever been wondering what Sofia Coppola’s career would be like if she didn’t have a famous last name and actually did some time at film school, then you’ll be interested to check this video out. Directed by a NYU student by the name of Antonio Campos, this latest video for The Shins has [...]

When Walk The Line and Ray were released, were you one of those folk who pretended that they were hardcore Johnny Cash and Ray Charles fans from way back, when all you really did was go out and secretly buy their complete re-released back catalogue? If your answer was “yes”, then you’ll be pleased to [...]

If you maniacally check music blogs like yours truly, you’ve no doubt heard about the controversial first night of Ryan Adam’s pair of Sydney shows at the Enmore Theatre. While I thoroughly enjoyed the first show, being my first Ryan Adams live experience and all, I won’t bother going into detail here because a shitload [...]

Hey scenesters! It’s time to grab your cowboy boots, scarves and cheap imitation Wayfarers and head to the Hordern Pavilion, because everybody’s favourite band of brothers (and one cousin), Kings of Leon, are boot scootin’ over to our shores to steal our girlfriends and/or boyfriends.
They’ll be doing a couple of dates for the Falls Festival, [...]

So, The Hives have a new single out, and well, it sounds pretty much exactly how you’d expect a new Hives’ single to sound. While not as instantly catchy as “Walk Idiot Walk” or “Hate To Say I Told You So”, “Tick Tick Boom” (a subtle Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince shout out?) is still [...]

As if coming to terms with the fact that I wasn’t going to be the proud owner of a Triple Inchophone anytime soon wasn’t hard enough - the official White Stripes’ online store goes ahead and throws some more salt in the wound by declaring that those Icky Thump USB drives would be ’strictly for [...]

Ben “The Boy Wonder” Kweller is at it again! Barely six months after his last tour down here, Mr. Kweller has announced yet another show at the Gaelic Club in Sydney as part of his I Gotta Move (to Australia?) Tour 2007. The tour kicks off in Adelaide on the 18th October, and will take [...]

You know what? I love hearing rumours. Especially rumours of the ‘colourful’ variety that involve myself, either one of the Corey’s and a bottle of imported chocolate body paint. But there’s also one thing I love even more than hearing rumours - and that’s helping spread them.
So without much further ado, allow me to [...]

What better way to kick start this under-nourished section than with some textbook meat and potatoes rock from everybody’s favourite: Foo Fighters. After hearing their new single, ‘The Pretender’ on the radio last week, I started thinking about how once upon a time the small time Foos used to play the part of David to [...]
