Tamara & The Dreams made a spectacular return last month with ‘Successful Bisexual’ – their first new release since 2022, and a hell of a comeback. It’s a certified banger: sharp and sugary. A song that makes you feel like your most chaotic self might also be your best. Tamara will headline Merri Creek Tavern …

The last album from Australia’s favourite psychedelic garage rock group felt like it barely left rotation, like a constant background noise pushing us through the grind of summer 2023 and definitely impressing the neighbours.

BB Sabina’s latest single, ‘Multitude,’ is a track that lingers. It’s nearly seven minutes long, and honestly, it might not be long enough. Moving through trip-hop’s shadowy corners, it picks up the tension of post-rock and absolutely glows with hypnotism. Beth Uhe’s voice drifts through like a lone ballerina, upstaged by nothing else. It’s layered …

Spacey Jane are back with album number three, ‘If That Makes Sense‘ (out May 9), and they’re celebrating the best way they know how, by hitting the road for a massive Australian and New Zealand tour.

March will see them make …
