Back when it was announced that East Coast rap legend, Jay- “Mr. Beyonce” Z, would be headlining this year’s Glastonbury festival, former headliner and all around jive-talker Noel Gallagher spat some serious smack at the promotors’ decision by calling their move “wrong” and offered the age old “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it” argument.

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 [...]

Greetings co-workers,
I’m a little late with this but to be honest, I’ve been completely snowed under with work at the ol’ office (read: end of financial year). In fact, if it wasn’t for Ramón from Accounts (and his excellent mass forward emailing skills), I would have totally missed the embedded video goodness that is Weezer [...]

According to MTV, Kings Of Leon’s fourth album will be released September 22 and will be titled: Only By The Night.
UM, WHO NAMED YOUR ALBUM, DUDE - PHIL COLLINS, OR R.L. STINE?
As if the current state of Kings Of Leon (meaning anything released post Aha Shake Heartbreak and after they became BFF with Eddie Vedder) [...]

Everybody’s favourite celebrity-scientologist this side of Suri Cruise, Beck, is set to drop his highly anticipated Danger Mouse-produced next record Modern Guilt on July 7. Amazon are hosting a black white ‘trailer’ of sorts for the record, featuring small snippets of the Modern Guilt numbers “Gamma Ray,” “Youthless,” “Modern Guilt,” and “Walls.” Under any [...]

While there’s no mention of it on the Gaelic Theatre’s official website, according to Albert Hammond Jr’s Myspace page, he’ll be playing his Splendour In The Grass sideshow there on August 1st. No word yet on ticket prices, when you can get said tickets, or how many morons you’re going to have to stand next [...]

Greg Gillis AKA Girl Talk has joined the ranks of Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails as yet another artist who gives shit away for free on the internet with the release of his brand spankin’ new album, Feed The Animals, available to download over at Illegal Art. Much like In Rainbows’ honesty-box pricing approach, Girl [...]

Hey Juno fans! Guess who’s doing a free in-store at Red Eye Records? If you guessed “Kimya Dawson” then you are absolutely right, because this Friday 20th June at 3:30PM the sickly sweet songstress will be performing a whole bunch of songs that you heard during all the sad scenes in Juno, for absolutely free! [...]

The rumours are true - Weezer will be inviting a small number of fans to musically join them on the upcoming hootenanny tour, before they embark on a more traditional tour in support of their recently released self-titled album. With an audience capacity of around 200 people for each club-sized show, fans are encouraged to [...]

Uh-oh. Looks like somebody forgot to hide the red cordial and party pies from Brisbane’s very own trio of hyperactive pop-perfectionists. The Grates are back on the scene after being locked up in a US studio without any exposure to food or natural sunlight (slight dramatisation on my part), due to the recording of their [...]

Finally! After months of speculation, UK bad boys The Music have just announced their sideshows for Splendour In The Grass. All two of them. The only time these guys have done any sort of proper tour in Australia was back in 2005, so here’s hoping that this means another bunch of shows later in the [...]

Well, boys and girls, do I have some exciting Strokes news for you, or WHAT?!
1) That N.E.R.D. song featuring Julian Casablancas and Santogold which was recorded for Converse’s 100 year anniversary has finally hit the web and it’s… uh… interesting, to say the least. Santogold and Pharrell’s voices sound great together, but I can’t help [...]
