You Am I’s self titled album has only been in stores for a week, but already the band is itching to release another single. Following on from the album’s debut cut “Shuck” comes the cool grooves of “Trigger Finger.” This isn’t like the You Am I that we’ve come to know and love, but don’t…

Enter the Theatrical Mind of Emma Dean
Emma Dean is one of those special artists that brings a sense of theatre to her music. She calls to mind such strong female performers as Kate Bush and Amanda Palmer with her sophomore album Dr Dream and The Imaginary Pop-Cabaret. “Essentially, I think of my original music as being piano- based cabaret-tinged pop which…
Chrissy Amphlett Diagnosed with Breast Cancer
I was saddened to hear the news this morning that Chrissy Amphlett has been diagnosed with breast cancer. She’s currently undergoing treatment in her New York City home, where she lives with her husband. In typical Chrissy fashion, she’s pledged to fight the cancer, just as she has Multiple Sclerosis. That disease means she can’t…
More Magic from That 1 Guy
Have you heard of That 1 Guy? Otherwise known as Mike Silverman, That 1 Guy takes the concept of a one-man band to the next level with his incredible Magic Pipe. It sounds like a piece of drug paraphernalia, but in reality it’s a seven-foot tall collection of swiveling pipes, metal gears, bass strings, and…
Israel Cannan’s Epic Aussie Journey Inspires Amazing Album
I love discovering new music that really revs me. The latest act to get me excited is Israel Cannan, a young singer-songwriter who’s taken a long literal and metaphorical journey to reach the place he’s at today. Israel released his debut EP at the tender age of 18, but after a few successful tours and…
White Boyz Can’t Funk, Yes They Can
In this very cool video groovy Melbourne outfit White Boyz Can’t Funk take us on a journey around their hometown’s famous laneways. This killer tune “Sally” was recorded at Cherry Bar’s Soul Live night. This band is insanely tight, and I love their rich brassy sound. I definitely need to discover more of their stuff!
“You’ll Never Walk Alone” – David Campbell
I’m heading home today, so I figured it was only fitting to end this little snapshot of Adelaide music on the artist I’m seeing live on Thursday night: David Campbell. Anyone who’s been reading this blog for a while knows how much I adore David, and I’m definitely looking forward to hearing him playing the…
“No Secrets” – The Angels
As I spend my last full day in Adelaide, I figured it was time to go back in the vault again. I’ve done Chisel, so there seemed like just one obvious choice: The Angels. Doc Neeson and the boys had so many hits, but I think my favourite has to be “No Secrets.” Long before…
“Buttons” – Sia
After yesterday’s cheesy love song, I figured it was time to reestablish a bit of credibility. And these days they don’t have a lot more cred than Sia. “Buttons” was the first of her songs that came to my attention, largely because of that quirky film clip. The song’s not too bad either!
Congratulations to Luke and Kate!
My apologies to Guy Sebastian. I’m sure this Adelaide resident would rather forget his first single, and that electrified hair. But this song does have some beautiful words, and on this day where I’m witnessing the wedding of my friends Kate and Luke it struck a nerve. Planes probably brought them to Adelaide rather than…
