Lonesome Heroes Q&A

Drawn to Australia for our kangaroos and tales of the music scene, the Austin, Texas natives Lonesome Heroes have finally hit our shores and are set to play Pistol Pete’s in no time.

Geelong Cup After Party at The Sporting Globe

Race day is arguably one of the most exciting times of the year, and there are few things in life that give the same exhilaration felt while watching the horses thunder down the track to the finish line.

Thy Art Is Murder

2015 has been a defining year for Sydney’s most talked about hardcore band, Thy Art Is Murder.

Comedy 4 Karma: Celia Pacquola

For over a year now Celia Pacquola has played the pant-suit clad, office worker Nat on ABC’s hit show Utopia. While comedy and acting isn’t a first for Celia, her career in the show is, and it’s something that she can’t help but pretend is real as she briskly walks through Melbourne, briefcase in hand, on her lunch break from recording.

Born Lion Q&A

With new music out and in the midst of their ‘The Final Words’ Tour, we had a chat with the band about zombies, bass and The Simpsons, and new music too of course…

The Mane Event Q&A

The time to shift the stigma around mental health is fast approaching, and helping change the conversation is The Mane Event organiser Jon Gilchrist (alongside co-organiser Tristan Gall) who are doing so by starting a conversation and raising funds through a music festival.

The Go Set

Melbourne folk punks The Go Set have been heard to jokingly refer to themselves as “a drinking club with a musical problem”

Dylan Joel

When you think about the golden age of Australian music with artists such as Vance Joy and Courtney Barnett killing it overseas, we are so lucky with the Australian output of music at the moment.

Dickster Q&A

For 20 years now Dickster has been owning the trance scene, with an uncanny ability to stay one step ahead of the rest.

The Rubens

Naturally, the second time for anything is usually much easier than the first. This was certainly the case when The Rubens stepped foot into the studio for album number two, an album which has seen the band reach into deeper possibilities to their sound.

Blue Suede

If you are looking for men’s shoes in Geelong be sure to head straight to Blue Suede for the best range of almost anywhere in Geelong!

Elephant and Castle on Cup Day!

One venue that is synonymous with the Geelong Cup is the Elephant and Castle.

Ruby & Leo

Ruby & Leo is a very cool hat shop for both guys and girls, stocking a huge range of hats for every occasion. For men you will find stacks of trilbys, fedoras, top hats, bowlers, flat caps, panamas, Greek fisherman’s caps, boaters, deer stalkers, pork pies and the list goes on.

Bendigo Blues & Roots Music Festival Organiser Colin Thompson

Bendigo Blues & Roots Music Festival is quickly approaching, but it’s not just about the incredible blues performers on offer.

Augie March

Augie March are arguably one of Australia’s most innovative and enduring bands.

Archie Roach

Our country is rich in talent, and when it comes to Indigenous music festival NaranaFest, they had the pick of the crop.

Richard Clapton

AC/DC famously sang, “It’s A Long Way To The Top if you want to Rock and Roll” and from chatting to Richard Clapton before his Lonesome Voyager show hits town, the music scene in 2015 is definitely a rollercoaster.

Remi

Over what may seem like a short time producing music, Remi and Sensible J have learned how to deliver a message in each track, one of the hardest things to master in rap. But more recently, Remi got a lesson on crocodiles in Darwin.

The John Steel Singers

The John Steel Singers are about to converge on the Kennedy’s Creek Music Festival, having not played a show in the region in quite a while, the opportunity to get amongst some sun and undoubtedly the best surf in the world, was something that front man Tim Morrissey couldn’t pass up.

Kryal Castle Oktoberfest Q&A

Flying to Germany is expensive, and while it may seem like there’s no other chance to have an authentic Oktoberfest experience in Australia, you’d be wrong.

The Sewing Room

When was the last time you picked up a needle and thread and made something for fun? If you’re struggling to think of an answer, it’s about time you looked up Geelong’s newest creative space, The Sewing Room, where the forgotten art of sewing is brought to the forefront. We had a chat with owner Lyn Luck about what it’s all about.

Major Leagues

It’s been far too long since we’ve heard the jangly indie pop and sometimes garage rock tones of Brisbane’s Major Leagues .
