NEW MUSIC: Peter Bibby – Whyalla

Great new song from the esteem larrikin-rock exponent Peter Bibby. The verses sound like S.P.U.D/Solid Gold Hell from 90s Auckland. Countered by the sweet chorus, the song goes everywhere else across 6 minutes. Recorded with the band Dog Act. ‘Whyalla’ is simultaneously a love letter and a cursing damnation to regional Australia. Its spoken-word bridge lays down tall tales about some of its most notable legends, … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Peter Bibby – Whyalla

NEW MUSIC: Peter Bibby – Medicine

The larrikin troubadour returns with his first new release since his 2014 debut Butcher/Hairstylist/Beautician. ‘Medicine’ rolls and tumbles along with his trademark stagger and loose swagger. Super catchy, twitchy and jangly as he rattles off all kinds of medicinal relief. Top stuff. The track is available September 8 via Spinning Top / Caroline and Bibby plays Big Sound next week: Tue, Sep 5th | 11:30pm @ Ric’s Big … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Peter Bibby – Medicine

LIVE REVIEW: Peter Bibby, The Dandelion, Big Dingo @ Newtown Social Club (14/05/15)

I’m calling it now – larrikin rock. That mix of Australiana, slacker indie/garage rock that keeps getting better and better. Headliner Peter Bibby is a leading progenitor as is Big Dingo who played a short 6 song set as it was their first show in a year. Observational lyrics using colloquial language and sung in a rich accent is rightfully attracting more and more fans. … Continue reading LIVE REVIEW: Peter Bibby, The Dandelion, Big Dingo @ Newtown Social Club (14/05/15)

NEW MUSIC: Peter Bibby – Hates My Boozin’

I’m loving this new track from Melbournian Peter Bibby. With its woozy, drunk guitars, Spectorish drums and lyrical bent in the vein of Courtney Barnett. It pulls you in and seduces you with a ramshackle and desperate charm. Bibby’s voice is a grizzled, burnt out yelp of a thing which suits the song perfectly. Bibby, a recent signing to Spinning Top Music, has just been … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Peter Bibby – Hates My Boozin’
