Slowly Slowly warmed up the amphitheatre with a popular cover of Bon Iver's Skinny Love, and over on the Mix Up side stage, 17-year-old KIAN played to a packed tent and included a surprise appearance from Kwame. On the same stage, English duo Honne kept the vibes going with their synth pop - a definite set highlight being "Warm On A Cold Night".
Everyone was looking a little dustier than the day before on day two of Splendour, but there was no shortage of hype for the huge day to come. In the amphitheatre, Trophy Eyes surprised the audience with a hilariously unexpected performance of an expletive-riddled Chris Lilley song - performing alongside the comedian himself.
On the first day of Splendour, the energy was running high as eager festivalgoers streamed into North Byron Parklands, ready for the three-day bender to come. Adorned in on-trend neon green snakeskin, golden brown leopard print, flowing boho dresses and glitter galore, punters strutted through the grounds and filtered off in smaller groups to various stages.
In 2019, Assemble Papers’ has teamed up with Courtney Barnett and Jen Cloher’s Milk! Records to bring a year of indie Melbourne tunes. With the weather acting strangely hot this June, it’s only fitting that they would drop the Autumn mix now.
The music of The Teskey Brothers is a soulful throwback to a lost sound. Their music would fit in a century ago, but it doesn’t feel outdated. Over a decade ago, brothers Sam, on guitar, and Josh Teskey, on vocals, teamed up with childhood friends and long-time jamming buddies Brendon Love, on bass, and Liam Gough, on drums.
The XLR8R magazine has been hastening the pace of music and culture across the globe for twenty-five years. Their weekly podcast features exciting and diverse artists. This week features Lenzman, aka Teije van Vliet, a Dutch DJ with a love of hip-hop, jazz and funk.
One of Sydney’s easiest to listen to bands is Polish Club. However, they often reject being labelled under the genre of rock, despite being a two-piece rock band. Their debut album, Alright Already, a fast, energetic and loud explosion of sweaty garage rock, was driven by the dumb fun that the two band members had cutting it in just eight days.
Kelsey Lu is one of the most widely talented, multi-genre artist you’ll ever have the pleasure to watch perform live. Blurring the lines between R&B, indie and classical, it’s hard to label her under a single genre, but if there’s one thing you learn as you watch her set unfold, it’s that her musical identity is in fluidity.
Sam Marsh, aka bilius moon, is a Melbourne DJ who produces mixes that take a different approach. His unique style of minimalist ambient music is a much needed breather from the intensity of urban life. This week’s mix, mixtape for a bit of hush, is exactly what it sounds like; it gives the listener some space to stop and relax.
Kristy Lee Peters, aka KLP, is a DJ with a nine-year history within the Sydney music scene. After a successful five-year run hosting triple j’s House Party, every Saturday night, she has taken a step back in 2019 to focus on her music.
After five years of deep introspection and even getting together in a house in the middle of the woods for inspiration, the Sydney-based Indie-electronic trio of Jack Froggatt, Lachlan Bostock and Alex Nicholls have dropped their self-produced, coming-of-age debut album, Shadowboxer.
There is not much information to discern about Will Hayford from his Soundcloud page. With no links to a Facebook page or even a hometown, the only thing that is certain is that he is a young but talented DJ. This is evident from the few mixes available on his page.
Our favourite all-Aussie festival has just dropped its line-up for 2019. Continuing its tradition of bringing together the best of this nation’s talent with the hottest emerging local acts, Yours & Owls have put Amy Shark, Courtney Barnett, Golden Features and Hot Dub Time Machine at the top of the billing.
After eight months of silence, Crocodylus are back with a hot and heavy new track. ‘Ghosts’ is the Sydney based rock band’s first track since ‘My Baby’, which similarly featured as Release of the Week back in early September 2018.
Since starting out busking on the streets of Cronulla, Ruby Fields has shot to local and international recognition, playing across Australia and a few recent shows in London. Her song writing has been praised for its direct and raw lyricism in addition to well-rounded instrumentation. We had a chat with her about putting it all together and making plans for Splendour 2019.
