Brisbane rockers The Arachnids are celebrating the release of their debut EP The Vulture with a string of electric and acoustic shows. The quartet’s sound takes its cues from local acts that have come before including Regurgitator and Custard. The modest lads would probably blush at the comparisons, but the band is already earning a [...]

It always intrigues me when musicians with a particular musical pedigree abandon their roots to venture down an entirely different path. Some do it within the umbrella of their former guise (Thrice and Regurgitator fans know this only too well), whilst many others form other bands to distance themselves from the past. The members of Californian psych shoegaze outfit Highlands used to play in hardcore and weird noise bands, and are now moving in a different direction with this band. It's actually a prefect meld though, as the psych and shoegaze are pushed roughly to the forefront by the ...

A wildly eclectic edition of New Noise, featuring a Pavement enthusiast, a Sinatra sample, a sad song about not writing sad songs and – for surely the first time in 'M+N' history – a track sung in Hindi. – Sydney’s Shady Lane (aka singer/songwriter Jordy Lane) is named after a Pavement song with a stop in the middle. His new single ‘Dumb Hope’ has – you guessed it – a stop in the middle. There’s no sign of Lane stopping (in the middle) though. He’ll have a new album, Built Guilt , out through Rice Is Nice in (perhaps the middle ...

– A fixie of hipsters (with names like Matt, Leroy, Eugene and Simon) populate the latest clip for Unknown Mortal Orchestra . ‘Strangers Are Strange’ is the fourth video lifted from the trio’s self-titled debut , following ‘Bicycle’ , ‘Ffunny Ffrends’ and ‘Little Blu House’ . It’s directed by Wes Anderson Sam Kristofski, who’s worked on clips by The Jezabels and Parades. – Recalling Cibo Matto’s split-screen classic ‘Sugar Water’ comes ‘Anemic’, the latest single for A Gender , the new punky guise for Romy Hoffman (aka Macromantics). The clip has been directed and edited by Hannah Cairns , with the initial idea conceived ...

Some observations from Big Day Out veteran DARREN LEVIN as the festival celebrated its 20th year at Flemington Racecourse on Sunday (January 29). Photos by LEAH ROBERTSON . ‘Are you nice and sweaty?’ Attending a festival in 35-degree heat is difficult enough without bands telling you just how hot it is. “Hope you don’t die in this heat,” quipped Stonefield’s singer Amy Findlay at midday when the sun was at the height of its powers. “Are you nice and sweaty?” quizzed The Vaccines’ Justin Young. Kimbra Johnson asked us if we were “hot and sticky”, before Soundgarden’s Chris ...

Hailing from Brisbane, Australia, REGURGITATOR may not be a name here in the 'States, but their rock should not go unnoticed. The band recently released a new video for their song No Show , taken from their seventh studio album,  SUPERHAPPYFUNTIMEFRIENDS . Here's what they had to say about it: '' When Quan from the band found this old Japanese monster movie was in the public domain, he just had to screw with it and the results are brilliant. '' Check it out below.

After the success of last year’s Thousand In Twenty gig – that time we put on Regurgitator as surprise headliners at The Zoo, which we’re still grinning about – Rave has been looking for an excuse to put on another concert. We still haven’t found one, but we’re not letting that stop us from announcing that on Wednesday Jan 25 we’ve convinced some of Brisbane’s finest bands to play for us. Drawn From Bees (pictured), Grand Atlantic, Tape/Off, Hey Geronimo and Bixby Canyon are all on the bill, wit ...

The 2012 edition of the popular Southbound Festival kicked off with a huge lineup of acts featuring The Arctic Monkeys, Regurgitator, The Jim Jones Revue, Aloe Blacc, The Naked and Famous, Tijuana Cartel, comedian Arj Barker and more. Stuart Sevastos brings us the highlights of the day.

Having the good sense to rob not just one grave but a whole cemetery, Go-Go Sapien follow 2009’s Merman with a second album of B-movie garage that’s trippy, tongue-in-cheek and altogether free-ranging in its cherry-picking. All walks of pop culture (surf rock, pulpy sci-fi, celebrity worship, druggy psychedelia, British Invasion, etc.) are smeared into songs well-produced and robustly written; as much raucous, keyboard-driven instrumentation as there is, these tunes could easily thrive as acoustic skeletons. Topped with frontman Will Hindmarsh’s exaggerated rock swagger – both vocally and lyrically – they graduate to lurid confection. It’s not exactly serious ...

Venue closures, Nirvana tribute gigs and rising flood waters dominate an eventful first half of 2011. Part two here . January Brisbane floods: As rising flood waters devastate Queensland, several venues within Brisbane’s CBD and Fortitude Valley entertainment precinct are forced to close and cancel gigs . Benefit shows are held across the country, however newly retired Powderfinger decline calls from local MPs to “dust off” their guitars for a once-off benefit show, choosing to release a single for victims instead. M+N contributor Andrew Stafford writes a moving column about what records he’d save, while Custard and Regurgitator sign ...
