are thrilled to reveal their first announcement of national dates and venues for their hugely anticipated 2018 event.

Stella Donnelly is one of the most in-demand artists out of Perth right now, as both a solo artist and with her bands Boat Show and Bells Rapids. We were extremely privileged to get the chance to speak with her in the lead-up, and she was as lovely to talk to as her music is to listen to!

Fresh off the back of winning the 'Tapped by Otherside' touring grant, local band Verge Collection are set to kick off a national tour following the release of their new single 'For the Story'. We had a chat to Ben from Verge Collection ahead of the tour.
Sex. Love. Intimacy. It seems to me like Mac Miller must’ve had some life changing experiences to produce the heavenly album ‘The Divine Feminine’. This sweet, groovy, warm, death-by-mouthfuls-of-sexy-chocolate album seems to explain Mac’s adoration for the female form, mind and company, and this adoration is reflected in the title itself.
POW! Negro are one of the most exciting young bands on the Perth scene right now.
