Available at the Counter Album Launch at the Rosemount 14/02/15
On a surprisingly cool summers night, I was excited to be spending my 14th of Feb with a group of mates at the park for a picnic. With Valentine's Day already shaping up to be a memorable one, we headed to the Rosie to see some familiar faces launch their very first studio recorded album "Hello Reality."
Fairbridge Wrap Up Part 2
I saw about 25 different acts over the two days and three nights and I have 19 names here on my list that I want to tell you about. Obviously I can’t tell you heaps about all of them because otherwise I would be here for about 6 years. I will go into detail about 8 of my tops picks, and I’ll briefly mention the rest. Okay? Good. Let’s do this!
Fairbridge Wrap Up Part 1
I often like to say that Fairbridge is one of the only festivals where you can ask the audience to sing, and they do it in tune- with harmonies as well if you ask nicely. I have never experienced anything like the community of people that is this festival. Everyone you meet is kind, interesting and a true music lover.
Pond - 'Hobo Rocket'
At only 34 minutes long, you’d probably be thinking you’ve been swindled something a la Keyser Soze, but what you’re getting is 34 minutes of pure good music; which is probably what you’d get on a normal 50-60 minute record anyway. The music is real, and the album is a real gem.
Karnivool - 'Aysmmetry'

Jonny Taylor - 'Something To Say'
I think it’s great how it’s filled with topics that can sometimes be hard to talk about, things that affect normal people. It’s not superficial or fake; it’s just songs written by a normal guy, for normal people. (It is) Really refreshing in this day and age...
Dilip n' the Davs - 'Together'
I love Aussie bands and I get especially excited when the bands have lyrics that show their love for Australia, and the Davs must have known I was coming, because they are absolutely all over it which made me very happy.

Lillium Stargazer - 'Ladybird EP'
These days you can’t get much for $5. You can get two newspapers, two of those Cadbury fundraiser chocolates, a vaccination for a kid with polio, two and a half things at the two dollar shop OR....
