You probably know Perth-based electronic musician Pogo from his musical remixes of Pixar movies, which have received international attention and attracted millions of views on YouTube. Well he’s back, and doing something a little different this time. Instead of remixing a kids movie he’s come out with a remix of ‘Pulp Fiction’.

Tin Can Radio ‘It Goes On’

June 20, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

Brisbane band Tin Can Radio produced some great indie pop music last year, at the same time as they built a reputation for having a killer and very energetic live show.

Old Time Machine ‘Tearing Me Down’

June 20, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

Old Time Machine is the name given to the collaboration between Canadian musicians Ryan McNally and Kyle Cashen, both of whom play enough instruments to comfortably record solo albums.

If church is always as enjoyable as it was last Wednesday night then I’ve been missing out all my life. Lisa Mitchell and Georgia Fair put on a great show, but it really was the unusual venue that turned this from what would have been a couple-of-times-a-year experience to one that felt truly special. St Michael’s Church deceptively appeared as if it were designed for this kind of thing, and boasted great acoustics, a perfect balcony, and even a makeshift stage. It provided an incredible backdrop for the night’s entertainment.

Tiger Waves ‘Weekends’

June 14, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

I discovered Tiger Waves recently through the always excellent IGIF, who described their single ’Weekends’ as ‘your new favourite song’. And they’re pretty spot on. It’s a really great, unpretentious, easy going indie rock track that presses all the right buttons and doesn’t do a whole lot wrong.
