Calexico
The Storm Is Coming
On September 9, 2008, Calexico will release their new album titled Carried To Dust. Last week I came across the band’s first single titled ‘ Two Silver Trees’, which will feature on the band’s upcoming album. Laid back and dominated by strings and percussion, the band have ditched the mariachi style […]

Reporter
We All Scream For Ice Cream
I normally find a lot of this style of indie pop extremely boring, but Reporter’s simple melodies and infectious pop hooks have me smitten all over. Much like their photos above, the band radiates a playful vibe, spelling out summer and reminding us what it’s like to have a whole […]

Samuel F. Scott & the B.O.P. live photos
“Babies are great–”
“Poos and wees!”
The Union man and his bunnies on ponies, or Samuel F. Scott & the B.O.P. to be exact put on a stellar show on Friday night at the Whammy bar, though we didn’t expect anything less. The Wellingtonians courted us with their witty banter, but it was like they were […]

Teacups and Bear Cat live photos
PROM NIGHT!
On Friday night my favourite twee folk band, Teacups, played their first self-organised show at the Wine Cellar on K Rd with the astoundingly good Bear Cat. The Prom theme of the night meant that the bar was decked out in yellow balloons and fairy lights, and there was a even a portrait corner […]

The Death Set
Motherfuckin’ Deathset!
Fuck yeah! The Death Set’s brand new album Worldwide is awesome. For the uninitiated, Johnny Siera, Peter O’ Connell, Jahphet Landis and Beau Velasco play spazzy lo-fi cross-genre indie punk. All band members, who are from Baltimore (Maryland, USA), but met in the Gold Coast of Australia, are credited for “irresponsibility”. Focusing on […]

Brand New Math
EP 2: A Brand New Hope
From a slightly biased perspective, Brand New Math are some of the nicest musicians I have ever meet. On Saturday night they played the Einstein Music Journal launch party without any fuss and helped guide us in some of the finer details of running a show. A couple of […]

Lissy Trullie
Lissy The Kid
Fashionable and popular Lissy Trullie is a model and musician who, with Harley Viera-Newton (bass), Eben D’Amico (guitar) and Josh Elrod (drums) makes sparse, unaffected indie pop sounding like it’s from another era. The band is causing quite a stir on the blogs at the moment, having recently played the After The […]

The Futureheads Interview
The Future is Bland
They’re one of the biggest bands in the world right now, thanks to internet hype and a monotonous sound that has monopolised the airwaves of late, but The Futureheads no longer live up to the hype. The once exciting, cutting-edge, post-pop punk band were like a foreign cousin of my favourite local […]

Liars
“You are a man and I am a drug”
I’ll be honest, I’ve never paid much attention to Liars. At least not until I heard their new track ‘Disgusting’, which is currently the hot topic on a number of my favourite music blogs. With a bass line bigger than The Pixies and spoken word vocals […]
