Tuneful Tunes Secret Session: The Cullen Hotel with Vance Joy
Last night we headed down to The Cullen Hotel at Prahran in Melbourne for a Tuneful Tunes Secret Session. Who could the artist be that would be featuring at The Art Series Hotel? We knew it was an Australian musician that had been freshly signed up and our gut feeling was that it was almost certainly...

Band of Horses vs. Total Recall: A Live Review
You know what was absolutely vital and what the world could not possibly do without? Yes, you guessed it, a gritty reboot™ of Total Recall. Some could unkindly (but possibly quite accurately) suggest that it is an indication that Hollywood is completely bereft of any form of original idea. The Phillip K. Dick cookie jar...
Nico Vega – Easier
There are a few prongs to this post. Nico Vega have dropped an awesome new track with ‘Easier’ which is quite sensational. Another track which is going down great guns is ‘Beast’ which has been licensed for the new Tom Cruise movie Jack Reacher.

Gomez – Live At The Corner Review
The stage lights beat down mercilessly. The sweat drips like a rapidly defrosting Icelandic glacier. The tension is palpable. All wagers have been placed and the answer for the Final Jeopardy! round is revealed. “Very” is the response. Much scrawling of light pens occurs in the next thirty seconds, until the correct question is announced....

A shameless post of self promotion here but sometimes you’ve got to give the folks what they want. The very fine establishment of Orto Kitchen & Garden in Hawthorn, Melbourne is launching their Sunday Sessions series this weekend and yours truly has been asked to provide the eargold.
Vaudeville Smash – Best Night Single Launch (Live Review)
It was a cold, cold Saturday night in Fixie-ville. Much of Melbourne was in mourning / drowning their sorrows / slicing up and not across after the Hawks failed to beat the Swans in a quite convincing manner. Their expertise in not beating the Swans was unrivalled on this particularly day, as they did their...
Diafrix – Pocket Full of Dreams
Could it be that OzHop is evolving into something that with every recent new release was becoming more and more inconceivable; something that is actually good? The Herd have long been at the forefront of non-generic OzHop and based upon the evidence presented in “Pocket Full of Dreams”, it appears as though Diafrix are going...
