We took some time to review Foxing's new album. Read all about it!
Mathas is at his best when he makes the political personal, as on “Nourishment”, which has an excellent contribution from Abbe May. All of this is delivered in a flow that often sounds a bit like Mathas is just having a particularly stimulating conversation, and he just happens to be talking quite fast.
Delving deeper into the album, it becomes clear that this release has higher highs and lower lows; there’s an edginess that was not present before. If Depression Cherry was walking into the waves at sunset, TYLS is jogging along a cliff during a blood moon.
Drummer Dan Koyama’s energy was inimitable – alongside cathartic guitar relief via Lachlan Caskey and Michael Sloane, who accompanied on vocals. Such an unmistakable dynamic had loyal gatherers on their toes, comfortably singing along to old school Last Dinos.
It’s difficult to pin point exactly what’s so alluring about Ought. Almost exactly equal parts visceral to cerebral, their music lays all of its influences out on the canvas but presents post punk in a fresh and exciting way.
We spoke with the Last Dinosaurs ahead of their tour next month. Read all about it here.
GCR & CPN brought over Hiatus Kaiyote to play a few of their neo-soul tunes from their new LP Choose Your Weapon. Koi Child & JAALA supported & we had a jolly good time.

I’ve avoided Metro City since I saw someone get stabbed outside on a Friday night, but the lure of seeing British indie-rock kings The Wombats proved far too strong
Drones are coming to town. We reviewed their album.
One of Australia’s most loved touring bands The Waifs are returning in 2015 with their seventh LP ‘Beautiful You’, due for release August 14th via Jarrah Records/MGM Distribution. 6000 Miles is the first single off the LP, a stunning Australian anthem that finds Vikki Thorn contemplating the distance between her old home in Albany WA and her new one in Utah, USA. The Waifs are also set to go on tour this September through to November.
We talk about the lovely Oh Mercy & their upcoming tour in September.
I had assumed that a screening of Jurassic World would be the most mediocre piece of prehistorically themed entertainment I would endure this month, but a night in the company of Brisbane four piece Last Dinosaurs proved me wrong.
Local band Hideous Sun Demon celebrated the birthing of their vinyl album over the weekend with a bunch of cool bands.
Hermitude graced our pure shores, read about their live gig here.
The best feature of Hot Dub Time Machine is arguably its diversity, with an extensive repertoire of bangers to elate everyone and anyone from Billy next door that apparently just turned 18 and makes you realise how old you are, to seedy Uncle Bill that makes you dread how old you’re getting.
Spawn of one of the most creative moms around, London siblings Kitty, Daisy & Lewis Durham are returning to Perth for an intimate show at the Rosemount, August 5. Read our interview here.
