On Wednesday, Australia’s greatest purveyor of Gothic Blues, Murder Ballad, Sleaze Soul, Rock’n’Roll storytelling, Nick Cave announced a nationwide Tour and tickets went on sale the very next day. I missed out on getting one. Again. I’ve now missed out on…
Stop me If you think you’ve heard this one before – The Smiths
With Indie Royalty, his Holiness, The right Reverend, Steven Patrick MORRISSEY visiting our fair City this weekend I felt compelled to share one of my favourite songs from his groundbreaking band, The Smiths. Saturday’s show is sold out and although…
Jacques Dutronc – Les Cactus
Recently, I’ve started new residency DJing at Heartbreaker Bar in the City. The place is a straight up Rock’n’Roll Dive Bar. It’s Rad. A real Beer with a shot kinda place but you can also get a fancy cocktail and…

We may be promised rain all weekend but Gee Whiz, wasn’t that lil glimpse of Spring just Magic! As beautiful as it was brief, this week’s short lived spell of sunshine has given us all a lot to look forward…

Our beloved DJ and Friday Beats curator Kieran is in the wars. On his death bed sick for the last three weeks and we’re putting all our good vibes together to get this dude well and there is truly no better way…
