Boys Boys Boys! album launch

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

There’s something about repetition in a name or phrase that sucks me in. Luckily so, because otherwise I might not have bothered to listen to Boys Boys Boys! (and that would have been regrettable). There’s something about this band that just makes dancing, jumping or simply smiling a necessity, and so far the only means [...]

Ohh! Crapp… (ft. Miami Horror & The Dirty Secrets)

Saturday, November 15th, 2008

Ohh! Crapp… is actually the name of a top music blog that features primarily Australian music. Not sure if it falls within blogging ettiquette to plug other blogs but I think this justifies an exception. Good music always recommended, and they’ve done quite a few interviews too, including teenagersintokyo, bitchee bitchee ya ya ya, the [...]

iloveyelle

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

I admit to having a big electro-crush on Yelle. With a bubblegum-synth sound and a tongue-in-cheek range of 80s outfits to match, she certainly deserves her stage name (the feminised form of an acronym for “You Enjoy Life”). Yelle came to fame after posting a track to MySpace which implied that a certain Parisian hip [...]

Introducing the Voltaire Twins

Sunday, August 10th, 2008

Voltaire twins: “Perth’s freshest electro outfit” – as said on last.fm. These guys make some really catchy dance/pop/indie/electro music and hence that’s probably the reason they’ve been up there on the triple J unearthed charts. They played a few weeks back at the Horror shop, and currently Jaymes Arthur Voltaire. Aka Teen Wolf is also [...]

The Black Ghosts, The Black Kids and some [remix]es

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

I don’t know if it’s just me but I feel that the musical side of this blog is tending toward electro-indie. Unfortunately this entry isn’t an exception. =D Everyone’s talking about the Black Kids – Rolling stones named them as a band to watch in 2008, their ads are all up over last.fm etc. Haven’t [...]

frankie and beans

Thursday, July 10th, 2008

Frankie is an almost-A4 sized glossy Australian magazine printed with aesthetically pleasing, brightly coloured inks. The perfect accessory to keep in your bag with textbooks for the student needing some alternative cred, the cover usually features a sweet, well-dressed girl with an outfit that the struggling indie girl (or cross-dressing boy) can emulate.

Sunday, June 22nd, 2008

Looks like Radiohead really has set a trend. Girl talk are releasing their album (Feed the Animals) over the internet with the ‘pay what you want’ scheme that Radiohead pioneered. The only difference is that regardless of what you pay, you still get top quality 320kbps tracks – and if you pay more than $5 [...]
