Latest proof the apocalypse is nigh? A full spread of today’s non-kiddie music acts covering the same Wiggles tunes that have gripped our children in an unholy fever these past two decades. And yet the yield is not abysmal. There are of course highs and lows, but the combination of short songs with the requisite simplicity and repetition makes this tribute freakishly listenable. The highs? Architecture in Helsinki’s ‘Wiggly Party’ is luridly silly, channelling Vincent Price via Yo Gabba Gabba!. Bluejuice twist ‘Wake Up Jeff!’ into a sultry little samba – complete with faux Brazilian accents – and Adalita makes ...

His album may not be eligible for this year’s ARIAs, but that hasn’t stopped Gotye from being nominated for seven awards for ubiquitous single ‘Somebody That I Used To Know’. Currently sitting at #2 on ARIA’s Singles Chart, the track has scored nods for Highest Selling Single, Single Of The Year, Best Pop Release and Best Male Artist. It also scooped three Artisan awards – Best Video (Natasha Pincus), Engineer Of The Year (Francois Tetaz) and Producer Of The Year (Gotye himself) – at the nominations event today (October 12). Not bad for a song Gotye told us he ...

Spiderbait, Washington, Sarah Blasko, Adalita and Oh Mercy will pay tribute to one of Australia’s most successful bands. No, not Temper Trap, but The Wiggles, who are celebrating their 20th anniversary this year. Rewiggled features 20 Wiggles classics interpreted by acts including The Living End, Jebediah, bluejuice, Frenzal Rhomb, Clare Bowditch, The Snowdroppers, Busby Marou, Papa VS Pretty, The Audreys, Dead Letter Chorus, Angie Hart, Sons of Rico and Architecture In Helsinki, although cynics may argue they've been covering Wiggles songs for years. It’ll also feature a Wiggles mash-up by Sampology. The collection will be released through ...

This is not the usual style we post here at RTV but the visuals alone make posting this necessary. In fact, this is probably the first time we have posted a folk and blues artist. The Audrey’s are a duo from Adelaide, South Australia who have been making waves since their formation in 2004. This latest single “Sometimes the Stars” debuted at #28 on the ARIA charts and this video will probably propel the song to further greatness. The music video is incredible and reminds me of a Gorillaz video but with a completely different soundtrack. With tests coming ...

"Sometimes the Stars" is a gorgeous new song from Adelaide band The Audreys , taken from their 2010 album of the same name.

(ABC Music/Universal) Taasha and Tristan dish up more filmic folk While it’s potentially easy to place The Audreys in the bin marked “Waifs-like folk music for polite people”, the duo of Taasha Coates and Tristan Goodall are actually a considerably more adventurous prospect. The evidence is in abundance on new album Sometimes The Stars, where they manage to sonically recreate the old cinema photography and Art Deco typeface of their album’s artwork. It’s textural, intuitive music with a whiff ...

Brisbane Powerhouse - Sun Oct 31 As I walk into the Powerhouse tonight I’m greeted by a setting of tables and chairs, and it couldn’t be more appropriate for the evening’s performances. Nicholas Roy is up first. Most of his songs are played on the piano – supported by his mate Adam on the drums. Even though he has to deal with some technical difficulties, Nicholas Roy belts out some poppy tunes. His powerful voice and clear love for performing helping him through his set, with songs like Miss B ...
