The ‘Groovin the Moo Festival’ recently took its traveling circus around the country and our Purple Sneakers DJs were lucky enough to smuggle themselves into FLAVA FLAV‘s luggage and ride his coat-tails from Bendigo to Bunbury. Playing alongside acts like MUTEMATH, WAVVES, KIMBRA and HERMITUDE, the dirty duo spun records state-to-state to adoring masses (who [...]

Man, it's been an eclectic month at the AU offices. We're finally getting through the haul of CDs from SXSW and CMW, including the awesome, awesome, AWESOME Oberhofer release Time Capsules II ; seriously, get on listening to that record, it's fantastic. We're also still wrapped in Prince -mania, as well as some slight anticipation for certain Splendour In The Grass highlights Howler . We're already missing Groovin' The Moo artists Wavves and Ball Park Music , and with the news of Sigur Ros coming over our way in November there's been a binge of post-rock goodness ...

Wavves delivered a truly awesome rock show that went by far too quickly.

Today we’re going to add another element to my “I review gigs I was going to go to anyway” formula. We’re going to contrast and compare WAVVES’ set at Groovin’ the Moo Canberra with their sideshow performance last Tuesday, within the context of a broader review of the latter gig at Oxford Art Factory. I [...]

Skating, surfing, smoking pot, screamed at by cute girls and openly discussing the new trends of the black market. These elements all encapsulate the lifestyle and performance of wryly stereotypical Wavves frontman, Nathan Daniel Williams. Supporting band, Sures , may have appeared to be quite young but that did not stop them from warming up the crowd. The Sydney four piece, produced vocal harmonies of pristine tonality heard on tracks such as “The Sun.” They may be one of those young, beguiling indie bands to keep an eye on in the upcoming months! As the 20 minute time break lapsed, members ...

Welcome to the first edition of The 405 Record Club ! No, we haven't started some sort of mail-order record shop, though that would be pretty sweet, right? No? Ok. Basically 'The 405 Record Club' is about analysing an album over a two-week period, then discussing it with the other members of the group. Essentially it's a book club for music, minus the cheese and wine (though that's not a rule set in stone). If you fancy joining the club, please email hello@thefourohfive.com with '405 Record Club' in the title. Name: Daniel Johnston Album: 'Continued Story ...

Vancouver two-piece, Japandroids, will release their highly-anticipated sophomore album, ‘Celebration Rock’, this 29th June on Pod (Walkmen">The Walkmen, Wavves) through Inertia.

There’s something special about male/female musical duos with a healthy dose of awkward sexual tension. Think about it -- Jack and Meg White of the White Stripes, Gotye and Kimbra, Wavves [...]

The Zoo - Tue May 8 The Tuesday night after a long weekend doesn’t exactly scream ‘party’, and the crowd here at The Zoo is decidedly lethargic as first support Gung Ho arrive on stage (although I personally was enjoying the incongruous house music, Little Richard anyone?). In my opinion, Gung Ho’s music loses some of its potency in recorded form, so it’s great to see them here in squealing, funky, high-energy live form. The band have been getting a lot of great write-ups and support spots all ...

It’s been a few days since I posted, I’ve been crazy busy and generally occupied this past week but I caught wind of these remixes of Mr Little Jeans (of Fire">Arcade Fire cover fame) and loved it. Hope your weekend has been good! I’ve been shootin’ hoops in the court, ya’ heard me. Enjoy! Runaway [...]
