Tame impala at the corner
Junior psych rockers, Tame impala played there first of 3 sold out shows at the corner on Monday night. Tame impala are signed to the Aussie record label modular. A hipster showcase of bands has been signed - cut copy, the presets, ladyhawke, van she, and most relevant to tame impala is wolfmother.

Yo, (my that is not a very punk or folky opening!) I have neglect you all to now. For those of you that don’t listen already listen to NPR, Bob Boilen introduced ‘the weather station’ from Toronto on his show this Monday past. I am addict to their banjo goodness and sweet harmonies. A aptly titled band to listen to in Melbourne. It will blow you away!

July 28th - PUNK
Splendour in the grass took place on the weekend and all I saw were the photos. I had to included the flaming lips in homage to my lack of attendance. I have a fear of Byron bay after a stay at the arts factory one summer, and hence could not make it. There is no order this week, again?!
The flaming lips - Silver trembling hands
The XX - crystallised

Cast: KEXP RADIO

whatever comes on the radio.

I can barely recognise the man from only a few weeks ago at battery park with the huge frickin’ hat. New fashion rule tiny men can’t wear mega hats. Unless your conor of course.
Neil Young Fashion
