Metric ‘Youth Without Youth’

May 1, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

At long last there’s a new Metric song to wrap your head around, which is especially important to do given the band’s imminent visit to Australia for Splendour In The Grass and (hopefully) some sideshows. It’s been a long time coming, but ‘Youth Without Youth’, the first single from Metric’s upcoming album ‘Synthetica’, which drops on the 12th of June, was worth the wait. Check it out below.

Last Dinosaurs Interview

February 9, 2012 by Lachy 1 Comment

Last year was a decent one for Brisbane band Last Dinosaurs. They recorded their debut album, played with some huge international bands, watched their songs accrue over a million views on Youtube, and toured a little bit as well. With the aforementioned debut album, ‘In A Million Years’, due for release within a month and a UK tour ahead, 2012 is poised pretty damn nicely for them as well. I had a chat with lead singer Sean Caskey ahead of the album launch tour, but mostly we just ended up talking about the past and the future.

Jinja Safari Interview

August 12, 2011 by Lachy 0 Comments

It’s been an eventful year for Sydney band Jinja Safari so far. Not only have they steadily released tracks from their second EP for free online, but they’ve also sold out shows on a national headline tour, played at the Big Day Out in Sydney, and graced the main stage of Splendour In The Grass. I had a brief chat with one of the band’s two ‘harmonizing frontmen and multi-instrumentalists’, Marcus.

Luke’s Splendour Escapades

August 9, 2011 by Lachy 0 Comments

After a surprisingly short hour and forty-five minute flight, then an hour or so bus trip which I spent sharing alcoholic beverages with some new friends whom I had just met, Lachy and I arrived at Woodfordia for Splendour In The Grass… and I was in the mood and raring to go for an epic weekend.

Splendour In The Grass Day Three Review

August 8, 2011 by Lachy 0 Comments

The final day of Splendour In The Grass is always bittersweet. But the Day Three timetable provided the prefect antidote to our premature feelings of loss, especially since it necessitated constantly moving between the three stages and deciding on a whole range of clashes. This was easily the busiest day of the festival for me, and even looking back now the amount of quality music I witnessed seems almost absurd.

Splendour In The Grass Day Two Review

August 6, 2011 by Lachy 0 Comments

While Day One of Splendour In The Grass had been full to the brim with amazing music, timetable clashes, and rushing between stages with very little down time, Day Two for me was much more relaxed. I do think there were perhaps a few timetabling issues that could have been handled better, but ultimately this was just a personal preference thing: there wasn’t a whole heap of music I wanted to see during Day Two. It certainly wasn’t a bad thing, as it allowed for time to fully explore the festival grounds and really take in the atmosphere.
