Review: Club Sandwich feat. Mathas, Koi Child, Mei Saraswati, Catlips & Elli Schoen

As the iconic Bakery’s thirteen-year reign in Perth draws to a close, Club Sandwich’s Josh Cutler put on a huge night for us lucky ones to party to late in the game. If you were there, it was probably the tastiest Thursday toasted special you’ve experienced in quite some time… with a bittersweet pinch of […]

An interview with Taylor McFerrin

Expect something different when Taylor McFerrin comes to play. Straight from his home base in Brooklyn, the multi-instrumentalist and producer has touched down to bring his show around our lucky little country… all courtesy of the generous and fruitful Red Bull Music Academy. Last night McFerrin blew Adelaide away, the first show of his first […]

The ArtGames 2015 – Round 1

Last Sunday saw the first round of this year’s, The ArtGames, go off with a vibrant, quirky bang inside Freo’s fittingly mural splashed Newport Hotel. The ArtGames, an Art Lab-run initiative, which allows emerging artists in Perth from all backgrounds to show off their talent in a head to head competition, continued on the impeccable […]

Spotlight: Etéana

Blending together dreamy electronic sounds with a touching r’n’b twist, local Perth duo Etéana are beginning to melt hearts with their sweet, serene sounds. From a slow beginning nearly two years ago, Etéana (comprised of vocalist Lana Rothnie and producer Peter McAvan) have been flying through their fittingly sleepy hometown in more recent times. Last […]

Strange Wilds – Standing 7″ EP

Now, this is what you call real, raw and fucking raucous. Those ill-informed or of little faith may say it’s been and gone, but the new year has just had its first dose of a cripplingly big resuscitation of post-hardcore punk. Hailing from both the grungey bowels of Seattle and neighbouring capital Olympia, three-piece Strange […]

Levitation Room – Minds Of Our Own EP

From the sunny sights of East Los Angeles, comes a vine-ripened fruit of a debut EP from fledgling rockers Levitation Room. With a self-proclaimed style of ‘sun dried roots’, this spacey record, Minds Of Our Own, makes one feel as though they’re taking a journey through the set of 1969 cult classic film Easy Rider. […]

Afenginn – Cygnet Folk Festival 2015

In a pristine and placid place of worship, Afenginn gracefully made their entrance… and perhaps created a whole new kind of holy matrimony. The five-piece Danish band hailing for Copenhagen, arrived at St. James Church on Saturday the 10th of January, for their afternoon slot at Tasmania’s acclaimed Cygnet Folk Festival. Dressed in snappy fashion, […]

SpaceManAntics – Katzenjammer

You couldn’t pick a better song to have your afternoon cuppa with and mould all of your day’s questions and queries into one comfortably dissonant answer. Perth experimental/pysch-rock band SpaceManAntics have just released new single ‘Katzenjammer’, their first follow up to debut album Puraede’s Parade last year – and it’s a slow burning, quirky treasure. […]

Black Knights – Gang Related and Shadows Of A Panther

It’s a subtle foray into a new soundscape from the Californian hip-hop duo. After the release of Medieval Chamber almost exactly a year ago with John Frusciante in the producer seat, rappers Crisis and Rugged Monk, known as Black Knights, have dropped two new tracks in the space of a week. Again siding with former Red Hot Chili […]
