The stunning run of shows at MONA FOMA continues with the Sunday line up of Michael Rother celebration of Neu!, Shonen Knife, Wednesday and Little Ugly Girls out on the bucolic lawns of the world famous MONA Museum in the outskirts of Hobart. We covered Michael Rother’s celebration of the legendary Neu! on his Australian …

Lloyd Cole had a rather bad start to his Australian tour commencing in Hobart. He recounts that he had arrived a few days early to have a quick break in Hobart (Cole enjoys a game of golf), but the national carrier had decided to send his two guitars on their own solo tour elsewhere in …

It was rather apt that The Church should mark their first gig in Hobart for more than twenty years one week ahead of the ritual bacchanalia that is Dark Mofo. A perfect time for sonic absolution before the descent into the wicked ways of Hobart’s famed winter festival. And what a performance it was. The …

After starting the day with some forest yoga, the S’appenin Podcast record their Live episode with Saint Agnes. Meanwhile Violent Hearts kick off 2000Tree’s music scene for Saturday on the NEU stage and they definitely give a good indication of how the days going to go; they give great vibes and a sound that gets …

Combining Forsyth’s swooping, ascendant vocals with chunky, thundering guitars and an insistent driving rhythm gives wings to …

When he isn’t providing the bottom line for DMAs, Sydney’s Tom Crandle is Prudence – a dreamy solo project that is ethereal and shimmering. We reviewed his single ‘Heart Sways’ this time last year and Prudence has followed this with the EP ‘Untitled’: a natural progression that sees his song writing craft developing and becoming …

There is a huge and vast distance between the Australian bushfires of early 2019 and the icy mountain tops of Austria, but Ro Bergman has produced the most elegant link in the themes of his new song ‘Animal’ and in the aching beauty of the accompanying video. The lyrics were inspired by the undeniable linkage …

Produced by the artist and double Grammy Award winning producer Sam Okell, ‘Everywhere Is Home’ includes the title track of the same name and previous singles ‘Blood Wolf Moon’ and ‘One Word’.
