Wolf And Cub ‘See The Light’

February 17, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

Nearly two years after the release of their second album, Adelaide outfit Wolf And Cub are back with a new double A-side single featuring both ‘See The Light’ and ‘All Through The Night’. They’re both very well-constructed dream pop numbers, but the former in particular really grabbed my attention with a persuasive bass line that draws you in. Check it out.

It’s called ‘What I Want And What I Need’, and you can listen to it and download it for free below.

Gig Review: Portugal. The Man And Givers @ The Corner Hotel, 9th February

February 11, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

It’s pretty rare that you can see three fantastic bands at the one gig for one very low price, but that’s exactly what those who visited the Corner Hotel last Thursday enjoyed. The double-headline bill of old indie favourites Portugal. The Man and new kids on the block Givers was a brilliant combination albeit a bit of an odd one, and chuck in opening act Guineafowl and you really do have an incredible gig for a Thursday night. It was lovely to get a bit of a taste of Laneway, and all the bands involved definitely delivered.

Last Dinosaurs Interview

February 9, 2012 by Lachy 1 Comment

Last year was a decent one for Brisbane band Last Dinosaurs. They recorded their debut album, played with some huge international bands, watched their songs accrue over a million views on Youtube, and toured a little bit as well. With the aforementioned debut album, ‘In A Million Years’, due for release within a month and a UK tour ahead, 2012 is poised pretty damn nicely for them as well. I had a chat with lead singer Sean Caskey ahead of the album launch tour, but mostly we just ended up talking about the past and the future.

Antonio Paul ‘Sweet Wine’

February 8, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

What feels like an eternity ago I posted about a Western Australian duo, Antonio Paul, and their debut single ‘City Dreams’. It’s been a long time between drinks, but the band are finally back with a new single, this time in the form of ‘Sweet Wine’. Of course that’s not to say that the band haven’t been busy in the meantime- they’ve recorded their second EP, ‘End Of The World’, added a new bandmember, enjoyed airplay on JJJ and Rage, and toured around the country. But what really matters is of course the music, so check out ‘Sweet Wine’.

If there was ever a time to see M83 live it is now. Armed both with material from their critically acclaimed and insanely popular 2011 double-album, as well as choice numbers from their older records, the band put on an exhilarating and powerful live show at the perfect venue of the Prince Bandroom to an adoring crowd.
