Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

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 [...]

Be in the Voltaire Twins’ music video

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

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 [...]

In the Pines: Celebration of local talent

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

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 [...]

hello new world……

Monday, March 16th, 2009

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 [...]

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 [...]

PEOPLE POWER Tonight!

Friday, October 31st, 2008

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 [...]

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 [...]

..and now you’re old enough I think that you should know (the new Sugar Army EP is out)

Sunday, April 27th, 2008

Ok so I’m a bit late with this but hey. It has to be said, better now than never. I’m a big fan of these guys, ever since I saw them at the big day out ’07. So when I saw them playing with Little Birdy in Forrest Chase early last year, I bought their [...]

The Tigers

Monday, April 7th, 2008

The Tigers’ newest release ‘Beautiful Forest’ is an oh so delicious cake. Songs firmly grounded in twiny guitar and complimented by brass make up the majority of the tracks, but in no way does this limit the artists’ capacity for a large spectra of variety in both the subject matter and tone of each slice [...]
