Georgia Fair’s New Film Clip, “Marianne”
You might remember me promising to post the video for Georgia Fair’s gorgeous new single “Marianne” once it was complete. Well I’m never one to go back on my word, so here it is. Just like the song, the clip is all very low key but gorgeously filmed, and it gives us an opportunity to…
Trial Kennedy Impress with “Best of Tomorrow”
Trial Kennedy has been one of those Australian acts who’ve been in the background for the last decade, but never really grabbed me. That is, until now. I’m really digging “Best of Tomorrow,” their new single from their forthcoming album Living Undesigned, which hits stores on May 13. It’s got all the right elements: a…
Abbe May’s Hot New Single, “Design Desire”
We first saw Perth’s Abbe May rocking out on her debut single “Mammalian Locomotion.” Now she’s back again with the equally dark and brooding follow-up, “Design Desire.” There’s definitely more than a touch of the Patti Smith to Abbe, which is certainly not a bad thing. I’m in love with her big crunchy guitar riffs…
The Duke Wilde Band Making Waves
It’s been a while since I featured any country music around here. But when the country’s national country music rag Country Update Magazine calls an act “the most exciting new band in Australian country music,” I figured I’d better give them a listen. That band is The Duke Wilde Band. The band hails from Queensland,…

The video has clocked up more than 200, 000 views…
New Song Obsession: “Gap Year Blues” by Dan Kelly
Dan Kelly has utterly charmed me with his latest song, “Gap Year Blues.” Perhaps it’s because I was separated from my now husband for a few years before he moved from America to be with me here in Oz, but this sweet folk ballad of long distance love really struck a chord. The song is…
David Guetta Works with Aussie Girl Indigo
David Guetta tends to work with big name acts like Rihanna and Kelly Rowland. So when he handpicks an Aussie girl for his next project, it’s pretty big news. The lucky lady is Indigo, a Western Australian lass who’s just signed up with French indie dance label Summit. The deal will see her debut album…
The Good Ship Tour Double A-Side Single
If celebrating the oft forgotten musical genre of pirate-rock wasn’t enough to set themselves apart, The Good Ship have decided to make an impact with a big double single. The band is celebrating the release of the double A-sider “Bury Me/I Can Make Her Laugh” with an Aussie tour. If you love a good sea…
Show MofoIsDead Some Love
Brisbane act MofoIsDead has really impressed me with their debut single “Love Me.” It’s got some blistering guitars, an epic chorus, and some impressive rock vocals from lead singer Paul Galagher. As an added bonus, the video has cats. That’s always going to win me over. The tune comes from the band’s debut album Nubile,…
