You might remember Boys Boys Boys! from posts such as this one. Or tours such as this one. Well, they’ve put together a clip for their single Ticky Ticky Boom. And it comes complete with new-wave clothes and 80′s dance moves. Good times guaranteed*. * “Good times” is a subjective term and no refund is [...]

If you’ve been out and around at gigs like Easy Tiger at Shape and Jukeboxxxx at the Norfolk basement, you may have noticed a new name popping up in the midst of the lineups. Sleepyhead is getting around and he’s just released a mix for free. Think Hollertronix/Girltalk – check it out and share the [...]

The Voltaire twins are shooting a music video for their track D.I.L. and they need you to lend a hand! Literally. Asking for all kinds of hands, including varying skin tones, bendy fingers and marks such as scars and tattoos. So if you want your 15 mins of fame (or rather if you want your [...]

Haven’t we all wanted the domain name indiekids.something? * I did, when I came across the blog “Teaching the Indie Kids To Dance Again” @ indiekids.org Sadly, it’s no longer updated, but it’s still a small mine of information about obscure artists and reviews of songs. (The MP3s linked on the site are now non-existent [...]

hexachordal is the YouTube channel of Tom Milsom, an English boy who dislikes the typeface Helvetica, covers and composes 8-bit music and songs for the ukelele. He verbalises OMG as “omguh.” And has a zine. Confused? Don’t be. Just watch and let the anxiety melt away… (Tom’s 8-bit cover of The Magnetic Fields‘ All My [...]

I think Amanda took us all by surprise in Bump from yoyoyoyo(how many yos?)yoyo by Spank rock. Then again that album was totally in your face, which is pretty much a spot on description of Amanda Blank. After gaining what can only be called noteriety, she’s since collaborated with MIA, plastic little, Santogold etc. etc. [...]

It’s that time of year again and RTRfm are holding their annual In the Pines concert at UWA. Seeing as I remember writing about this last year, I think I missed this blog’s first birthday. Speaking of birthdays, In the Pines is on the 26th of April, which is MY birthday so I think you [...]

Hey Im new here. Im Cale, a.k.a. Sleepyhead. As a friend of your favorite blog mistress, I was asked to contribute to this blog and seeing as I am trying to procrastinate from uni work, I figured this was a good a way as any. PS I’m not actually a vegan/vegetarian, but i have no [...]

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 [...]

Tame Impala is an Australian band that is getting lots of press at the moment – if you’ve been look closely at a lot of lineups for recent and upcoming gigs and festivals, you’ll see their name popping up quite a bit. They’re currently supporting MGMT on their national tour, and will be coming back [...]

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 [...]

Once there was a utopia called OiNK’s Pink Palace, where people could come together and share music from all over the world at fast speeds and be happy together. Then the bad people came and took away the palace and all the people were lost. They needed their music at 192kbps and above but there [...]

Tonight! Cultural Centre! Free! People Power is a program designed to generate good times, generate thought about issues of sustainability, and generate electricity. Generate electricity? People power? No, this isn’t The Matrix, because thankfully there are no robots. It is more about bicycles powering 1000 LED lights, flying high above the Cultural Centre. Along with [...]

A nice fellow from the country emailed me regarding when and where Young and Restless would be performing in Perth. So I had a bit of a look around and in the meantime found that I had a Young and Restless album in my library. I started listening. Fucking brilliant. Full of energy and vibe [...]

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 [...]

I haven’t done one of these in a while, but I thought a little snippet in the latest peta2 E-mailout tied in quite nicely with charmedquark’s last post: Win Signed Black Kids Stuff! [peta2] catch up with Owen from Black Kids to chat about music and why he went vegan. Check out the video, and [...]
