Bootleg Rascal have dropped a huge tune, right in the middle of a fifteen-show metro and regional tour. The Sydney based band, comprising of long-time collaborators and friends Carlos Lara and Jimmy Young, have garnered continuous praise for their genre-fluid sound and varied influences.
From scorching heat to heavy rain, Laneway began this decade with a rough start. However, the festival was able to literally weather the storm and deliver that classic Laneway experience. From the heart of the city of Sydney, St. Jerome’s Laneway Festival made its way to the Domain this year with a huge line-up of international headliners, domestic darlings and home-grown talent.
Bad Andy is Backyard Opera’s new resident DJ and today we are very excited to share his debut mix. The mix is based off Bad Andy’s extensive vinyl collection, which he began in 1992, with a specific focus on jungle music. This electronic genre from 1990s Britain is built upon dynamic rhythms and back beats.
The annual Bad Friday music festival is making its return to Marrickville this year with a huge expansion to two days. A decade after the festivals humble beginnings in the Annandale Hotel, the Bad Friday Weekender is staying true to form with a line-up filled to the brim with local, home-grown talent.
The NSW Bushfires continue to decimate the Australian countryside, with conditions remaining just as dangerous through the rest of Summer.

Ahead of their fourth studio album, Recovery, indie electronic group The Naked and Famous have released a catchy new synth-pop hit, marking their triumphant return in 2020.

I wanted to take a moment to look into a term that is so loosely used in music, that I feel that it’s meaning has been misinterpreted or lost along the way. The term I am referring to is Lo-fi. It gets thrown around by musicians and music listeners alike, like a piece of fruit in a school playground.
In early November, Backyard Opera spoke with triple J Hottest 100 winners Ocean Alley to discuss the upcoming festival season, including their plans for Laneway Festival on February 1st – 9th. Part of this discussion included talks of new music, which the band has been working on throughout the year.
