LIVE REVIEW: The Adults @ OAF, Sydney (01/09/11)
written by Chris Familton The Scientists of Modern Music is a fairly pretentious name at best but once you see/hear this Tasmanian duo it kind of makes sense. They don’t do anything by halves and delivered a strong set that was high on 80s electro pop anthems, a barrel of fun and an infectious stage presence. There were seemingly no boundaries to their healthy embrace … Continue reading LIVE REVIEW: The Adults @ OAF, Sydney (01/09/11)

written by Chris Familton Melodie Nelson was in solo mode for her support slot which was a shame as her band are really starting to find their legs. Playing to backing tracks courtesy of her iPod and filling in the gaps with keyboard and guitar she did however draw the audience further into her simple yet warmly enveloping songs. There is a real melodic richness … Continue reading LIVE REVIEW: Pinback @ Manning Bar, Sydney 22/08/11
LIVE REVIEW: Abbe May @ Annandale Hotel, Sydney 25/08/11
written by Chris Familton Oh Willy Dear! are singer Daniele Marando and guitarist Dan Babekuhl playing predominately bluegrass styled country music – a departure of sorts from the swampy rock n roll blues of their other band The Maladies. They played a mighty impressive set of covers and originals with some quite stunning guitar work from Babekuhl and a reminder of how outstanding Marando’s voice … Continue reading LIVE REVIEW: Abbe May @ Annandale Hotel, Sydney 25/08/11
LISTEN: To Seekir from the new Zola Jesus album…
Zola Jesus has followed up last year’s Stridulum II pretty quickly with the upcoming Conatus, out October 4th via Sacred Bones. Stridulum II was a dark and lush trip through pop electronica and goth with Nika Roza Danilova’s voice a commanding presence throughout. Conatus sounds like it will continue that vibe but perhaps with a little less bombastic mood more finely tuned song construction. Head … Continue reading LISTEN: To Seekir from the new Zola Jesus album…
