written by Chris Familton This was dubbed the Hurricane Tour which was kind of strange considering the album of the same name was released 3 years ago. Coming 19 years after Grace Jones’ previous release of original material it isn’t surprising that she still considers it to her ‘new’ album (as she often reminded us), such was the length of time between drinks. This was … Continue reading LIVE REVIEW: Grace Jones @ Enmore Theatre, Sydney (19/04/11)
written by Chris Familton There were some strong connections between the two bands gracing the stage at last week’s Last Night gig. Little Scout has been produced by Parades’ drummer (and solo artist in his own right) Jonathan Boulet, while Little Scout’s Kirsty Tickle has played with Parades in the past. There is doubtless a bunch of mutual respect is at work when the two … Continue reading LIVE REVIEW: Parades @ The Gaelic, Sydney (08/04/11)

This week it is the sparkling sounds of Parades that head up Purple Sneakers’ Last Night down at The Gaelic. They’ll be launching their new single Water Stories and alongside them you can catch the usual indie DJs plus Little Scout down the highway from Brissy. Parades are doing big things and garnering a bunch of good press for their forward thinking indie sound. We … Continue reading INTERVIEW: Before Last Night | Parades
written by Chris Familton Touring on the back of two albums that came out in the 90s can pigeonhole a band as a nostalgia or heritage act and many attend to relive that part of their youth when they connected with the music. Leftfield are one of the ‘Big Four’ of UK 90s electronica alongside Chemical Bros, The Orb and Underworld yet they are probably … Continue reading LIVE REVIEW: Leftfield @ Enmore Theatre, Sydney (17/03/11)
On June 6th Depeche Mode will release their 2nd collection of remixes spanning their entire career. Remixes 2: 81-11 also marks the return (kind of, not really) to the band of orginal member Vince Clarke and long time member Alan Wilder. Both contribute remixes and have had increased contact with DM with Clarke working on a dance record with Martin Gore and Alan accompanying Gore onstage … Continue reading NEWS: Depeche Mode release new remix album…
Everyone’s been getting worked up about the release of a new Burial 12″ ahead of a full length set to drop later in the year. I’ve already ordered my vinyl copy and I’d recommend getting in quick over at Boomkat or Bleep as this one is guaranteed to sell out. In fact most sites seem to have sold out their presales already! The brilliant blog … Continue reading NEWS: Hear the new Burial tracks…

Megastick Fanfare’s Sam Goldsmith took a run at DS’ Q+A and here’s what he had to say… 1. Do any of you have any pre-gig rituals? Occasionally we … 2. What … Continue reading INTERVIEW: Before Last Night | Megastick Fanfare
Albatross, the first track from the forthcoming Wild Beasts album Smother has surfaced and you can hear it below. Sounding a little underwhelming on the first few listens, there are some nice soft melodies that eventually emerge amid the twinkling electronics. The album is released on Domino on 9th May 2011 on CD, 12″ vinyl, and digital download. Smother was recorded in late 2010 in a remote part … Continue reading FIRST LISTEN: Hear the new song from Wild Beasts…
