(Click on image to listen in Spotify) IT’S SPRING TIME. SOUTHERN MUSIC IS WHAT’S GOOD. First thing you should know, my favorite singer is—without a doubt—Otis Redding. “Dock of the Bay” is one of the first songs I ever heard, ever learned. Secondly, B.B ...

PATRICK WOLF is one of those crazy talented musicians who can play everything from a ukulele to a viola to a grand piano. A mix of classical training and self-taught skills means that his music is constantly evolving and maturing, as he does. WOLF originally hails from Central London and he released his first E.P (self-produced [...]

Patrick Wolf is coming to Australia in September and he's got a few surprises in store.

The enigmatic, eccentric, at time slightly mad, always entertaining, and very charismatic Patrick Wolf has announced an "intimate acoustic tour" of Australia this September. I'm not to sure about the 'intimate' part however, because I'm pretty sure all of these venues are bigger than that which I saw him play last time he toured here. Oh well.

This September will see the return of charismatic performer PATRICK WOLF to our fine shores for a series of very special acoustic performances. The Frontier Touring Company is delighted to be bringing the incredibly talented Brit to Australia for a […]

I headed down to Bristol for Simple Things festival this bank holiday, and had a pretty good time. Having been stuck in a house for a few days with two poorly housemates, I was glad to get out and away from Nottingham for a couple of days; however I hadn't quite escaped their sickliness and managed to contract some sort of virus that made my legs feel like lead whilst being plagued by a horrible nauseous feeling, which didn't make for very good festival-going, but I did what I could. First of all, I'm going to start ...

Worry sets in when I’m sent an album by a band I know nothing about; I become most anxious about not representing the band appropriately when I review the release. Often it is even worse when there is little to read up on the band that’s either for or against them, because you don’t really know what you’re getting into (big band vs. indie) and the wind (it’s hard to tell with what Patrick Wolf...

Optimistically touted the 'first major festival of the summer', with the Saturday of this year's Camden Crawl quite factually cooler than Christmas the notorious bank holiday blowout gets off to a somewhat slow and strangely tepid start. Three Trapped Tigers bemuse with virtuoso, if exquisitely accomplished aspirational unpleasantness that's ultimately as insipid as an infinity wired into Xfm, whilst Samuel Manville's Hymns breed a reedy unholiness in the grim depths of The Underworld. Its newly snazzed exterior belies its inner filth, just as Manville et al. negate any originality through the assimilation of the loud/quiet dynamics ...

Posted in Play-This-List There are four tracks that I keep coming back to over the last few weeks, and they make up Ghost City USA, an EP from NYC boy/girl duo MS MR. The EP consists of three original tracks, plus a cover of Patrick Wolf’s ‘Time of my Life’ (which I’m almost preferring over the original). I [...]

Over the years, the ridiculously talented Brendan Maclean has become well known as " King of the Tweet , a Triple j radio personality and actor of the screen (soon to appear in The Great Gatsby , which recently employed 95% of the arts workforce in Australia*). But some of you may not realise he's also one hell of a musician, heralding comparisons to artists like iOta (with whom he recently performed with during Sydney Festival) and Patrick Wolf . He's just come out swinging with a brand new single and music video, which you can get on BandCamp for whatever you ...
