Splendour Updates

With Splendour in the Grass nearing its beautiful flower adorned head, there’s still a few chances to see some of the international and national acts – even if you missed out on getting a ticket to the festival itself.

The 1975 in 2016

While it’s not a love note of sorts, we’d still say it’s quite lovely. The note we’re talking of is the one Matt Bates wrote on behalf of The 1975, announcing their 2016 tour. The band are set to play an all ages show in Melbourne at Festival Hall on January 20.

Jeff Lang

Jeff Lang has become a legend around these parts. Over the course of his 20 year career he has released…

Four Lipsticks Everybody Should Own

If you happen to be someone who couldn’t think of anything worse than mascara and bronzer, and you never quite got the whole contouring thing down, this may not be for you. However, if you’re a lipstick hoarder like I am, or if you’re just starting to get into makeup, then hello, my name is Jess and I’m a makeup addict.

No Escape For Ground-Breaking Music

Known for their clean record in releasing high quality albums, the live set is much the same with the ground-breaking heavy music band The Dillinger Escape Plan. If you’re not convinced, head to the Prince Bandroom in Melbourne on August 28, be ready to be proven wrong.

Guitar Lovers Unite

Do you love guitars? Of course you do, what a silly question. How could you not love one of the…

The London Lowdown

Ah, London town. It’s one of those magical places in the world that one can only ever dream of reaching. For us Australians, it’s a little unfair that it happens to sit on the other side of the world! So having lived both in and near the shiny capital for nearly three years, I thought I’d shed some light on what it’s all about.

Amy Louise Jewellery

Look into any one of Amy Kennedy’s pieces and it’s a reflection of something she’s seen in nature. Even as…

The Getaway Plan: Dark Horses

We never thought we’d see it happen, but against all odds The Getaway Plan are back and ready to take on big things. After band break ups, personal obstacles and nearly five years of not a single track recorded, the guys have released their third and highly anticipated LP, Dark Horses.

Two minds are clearly better than one, and that’s certainly the case for Nathan Williams (Wavves) and Dylan Baldi (Cloud…

Pulp #616

What up, Pulp peeps?! This week I’m coming to you from good ol’ Radelaide – that’s right, not even a trip interstate can keep me from rambling about all things comic-y. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to make it to Oz Comic-con due to exams and whatnot (mostly I forgot it was on) but hopefully I can make it to the next convention that graces Melbourne with its presence. Anyway, enough waffle – it’s time to talk about this week’s comic!

Little Homesick

Have you ever had that sense of missing home? Of not really knowing exactly where home even is? Well these…

Lanks’ Banquet

All we need to say to sum up how incredible Lanks is, is to say that he was triple j…

Fraser A Gorman: Slow Gum

Having grown up around the Bellarine Peninsula and Geelong region, I have always been aware of Fraser A Gorman. Since his humble beginnings in Revolver and Sun back in the mid 2000s, it’s very exciting to see him now in 2015 releasing his debut solo album Slow Gum. Having got in with Courtney Barnett and travelled around America and Europe and met Ellen Degeneres, Gorman is set for the big time with this release. Many readers out there may have heard the singles ‘Book Of Love’, ‘Broken Hands’ and ‘Shiny Gun’ and they all appear on this album.

Anywhere/Nowhere with Magic Bones

As they’ve just released their new track ‘Anywhere, Anytime’ we thought what better chance to see what the band would…

Holy Serpent

Worshippers of the ‘70s psych rock sound, Holy Serpent are bringing it back in true ‘70s fashion. We had a chat to the legends in the midst of their Shroom Doom tour, where antics were plentiful!

Top Gun 2 Is Apparently Happening

Who could forget that volleyball scene? Am I right? Regardless of whether you remember the rest of the film, Top…

Iggy’s Not So Social
