New Zealand born, Melbourne-based muso Teeth & Tongue, or Jess Cornelius as she’s known to her mum, has turned my head with her impressive new single “Good Man.” It reminds me a bit of something a younger Tori Amos might have created with its lush sonic layers, ethereal yet gutsy vocals, and dangerous edges. “I…

DJ Minx Loves Adelaide
When Adelaide was named amongst the top ten cities of the world by Lonely Planet a couple of days ago, the rest of Australia was … shall we say … incredulous. Personally though, I felt the honour was well-deserved. I remember being pleasantly surprised when I visited Adelaide for a wedding a few years ago….
The Creases Make Music Video for Next to Nothing!
The Creases won’t let a lack of cash put an end to their rock and roll dreams. The Brisbane band recorded this video for their new single “I Won’t Wait” for just $5.50. Now that’s some frugal filmmaking! The song has a suitably lo-fi feel to it, but it’s got a great melodic centre that…
We The People Charm with “Sweetheart”
If the single “Sweetheart” is anything to go by, Melbourne indie act We The People are a band to watch. It seems the public agrees with me, as the song racked up more than 2000 YouTube views in its first week. The infectiously upbeat number is our first taste of their EP The Truth About…

After spending so many weekends consumed by moving house and the associated fall-out, it was blissful to head to the Hunter Valley on Saturday for the annual Jazz in the Vines show. It doesn’t really matter who’s on the bill; this is one yearly event I make sure that I never miss. And once again,…
The Good Ship Plays Shows to Support The Seven Seas
With Kat Cooke swapping her trumpet for a microphone, The Good Ship are preparing to launch their recently released third studio album, The Seven Seas. What I love most about this Brisbane band is that they do it their way. No one else is singing sea shanties like the lead single “World Spin Round,” a…
Saskwatch Delight with “Hands”
Seriously, how good are Saskwatch? Just when I think I can’t love this energetic soul outfit any more than I already do, they release a song like “Hands.” If you’re feeling down, press play and dance around your lounge room. I guarantee you’ll feel better. The feelgood track is accompanied by a cute clip starring…

If you were umming and aahing about getting to one of Sam Buckingham and Buffalo Tales’ upcoming gigs, this video might be just the thing to tip you over the edge. It features the talented twosome in the studio performing “Shackles,” a fan favourite from Sam’s I’m a Bird album. Music doesn’t get much better…
