Brodie-Ann Wright frontwoman for Brisbane-based band Felinedown is without a doubt a rock goddess personified. Whether performing burlesque or rocking festival crowds with her band she’s got the moves (not to mention an amazing wardrobe!).   What do you wear on stage? Well it changes all the time but right now – although I love me some sexy heels [...]

Perth is on the West Coast of Australia – the opposite coast to where I’m at. So many rad bands have come from Perth including the (now UK-based) act I love Pendulum. My pal, the beautiful and talented photographer/tour manager/life adventurer Bree Kristel Clarke also originates from that side of the country—her father’s art is [...]

Being a huge hip hop fan, I was so psyched when I found Sammy G’s music! I’ve never heard an Australian-based (Spanish Filapina) female emcee like her. With her music, confidence and ‘can do’ attitude Sammy has triumphed over all the challenges life has thrown her – both her parents passed away when she was [...]

Today’s thought: To me hip hop is the sound of the people. Everything on earth can be owned by others, property and so on can be owned by the system, the government or the machine NOT art though. Art is and should always be owned by the people and should always speak about and for [...]

“Early Adelaide was shaped by religious freedom and a commitment to political progressivism and civil liberties, which led to the moniker: City of Churches” …Adelaide is also home to a lot of great music especially hardcore and hip hop. One of my all-time favourite hardcore punk bands God So Loved The World was from there [...]

A thought for your day: I don’t believe that music can have a healing effect. I think it can get your heart rate up and get you to snap out of a funk you’re in as it’s often an extreme stimulus. I think it can redirect and reprioritise your energies at a given moment. It [...]

I was so excited when I found Los Angeles’ Hot Riot! recently. Frontwoman Kelly has so much energy, can write catchy electro-rock songs that get stuck in your head like nobody’s business and is not afraid to speak her mind. I cannot wait for her debut full-length record she’s currently working on! What do you [...]
