INXS SHINE BRIGHT LIKE A DIAMOND – MAKING CHART HISTORY

written by the partae

Iconic Australian rock band, INXS, celebrate their ‘The Very Best of INXS’ album reaching “Diamond” status on the ARIA charts and being recognised for sales in excess of half a million units, making chart history.

The album has spent an incredible 430 weeks in the ARIA Top 100 albums – more than any album in the current top 50; seven of those weeks have been spent at #1. Back in January this year, INXS’ 2011 greatest hits album, The Very Best, which features the band’s signature hits such as ‘Never Tear Us Apart’, ‘Original Sin’ and ‘Need You Tonight’ was officially crowned the top Australian Album of the Decade by ARIA cementing themselves as proof that great music never dates.

INXS were recognised for the success of ‘The Very Best of INXS’ with the announcement of the album reaching Diamond status made at the ARIA Awards 2020, held on Wednesday November 25^th, where Tim Farriss and Kirk Pengilly presented the award for ‘Best Band’. Reaching Diamond status in Australia is an incredible honour to the band especially in an era of digital streaming.

CM Murphy, Founder and Chairman – Petrol Records says, “It’s very hard to express the pride and joy I have at this moment. It is now 10 years since returning to INXS and with their highest selling album having achieved a Diamond Award and now voted by the people as Artist of the Decade, it brings me to tears!”

INXS continue to prove they are still as popular today as they were at the peak of their career and recently achieved the coveted number one spot on Triple M’s G.O.A.T (Greatest Band of all Time) in a fan-voted competition. On December 7, INXS are confirmed to feature in Rolling Stone Australia’s special edition, ’50 Greatest Australian Artists of all Time’.

One of the most talked about advertising collaborations with Virgin Australia has recently featured the band’s track What You Need in their You Can’t Keep A Good Thing Down campaign. The upbeat clip features 12-year-old Annie Jones, 2020 America’s Got Talent finalist, dancing in excitement at finally being able to return to the airport to travel. The use of the song portrays INXS’ unique ability to provide timeless music that appeals to a variety of ages and demographics.

CM Murphy recently signed a development deal with Sydney super producer Michael Cassel (Hamilton) to develop a major live musical production for Broadway and the West End. Drawing from a catalogue of more than 200 songs recorded by INXS since the band’s inception in 1977, this rounds out an incredible year for the band despite the challenges of a global pandemic.

The Bonnie Doons

by the partae December 2, 2020

written by the partae

What is your name and role within The Bonnie Doons?

Kane Kennedy. I produce the music and manage the band. Torian Brewer and I write and record the tracks.

Where are you currently based?

Based in Brisbane, Australia.

How did the Bonnie Doons form?

We officially formed the band in mid-2017. Benny Blacket (former lead singer) and I started the project. We met at college in 2014 and began jamming, writing the skeleton for our first song ‘Swing’ back in 2015 which features on our first EP. Torian was on guitar when the band first formed, Benny then moved down to Sydney and T-dawg stepped up on the mic.

What’s been happening recently and how has your Covid experience been?

Recently we haven’t been doing any live things, just been focussing on promoting this EP and gearing up for some future shows.

Your sophomore EP ‘The Betweeners’ is out now, what influenced the sound and songwriting?

This EP was heavily influenced by the 90’s. That was both Torian and I’s favourite era for entertainment as a whole and so I think naturally it came together in that style.

The EP speaks about making better decisions through talk of relationships mostly. A compilation of our own personal experiences was what influenced the songwriting.

How did the EP come about?

Well I mean we were always going to make more music; it came naturally. The musical approach was slightly different though, given we changed the vibe up for Torian’s vocals.

Where and when did you record/produce/master and who did you work with?

We recorded this through late 2019, all over the place really. I did the drums and rhythm guitars at Alchemix Studios in Brisbane, then did the lead guitars, bass, and vocals at home. We even used some takes from our demo sessions, out in a cabin in the woods style. It was a bit of a Frankenstein project. I produced it and sent it all over to Aria-Award winning Govinda Doyle (Angus and Julia Stone) for the mixing and mastering process.

What did you find most challenging and rewarding during the creation of the EP?

Most challenging for me was the general learning curve of producing music, especially in a genre I’d never really done before. I’m no professional, it’s still early days. It was a fun challenge. The next chunk of music will be quite a different direction again. We’re just trying a few things out for now.

The most rewarding thing is when the people that you respect express to you how much they love it. And I mean, most friends are going to tell you they love it – whether they do or not. But we got some genuine responses, and it was delightful.

What programs/instruments did you use to record?

Half of it was recorded in Ableton and half was done in Pro Tools. Probably the two most common DAWs. Instruments; drums, guitars, bass, keyboard, triangle, rainstick, shakers.

Who are you listening to at the moment?

In the last week I’ve been listening to some early King’s of Leon, Che Burns’ new EP, Kurilpa Reach’s new EP and some Sublime.

What do you like to do away from music?

The normal things; friends and family, make food, glass of red, exercise, soccer. I recently have taken time away from my engineering job, following up a few personal, musical, and entrepreneurial pursuits. Hoping I can break free from the 9-5.

Any shows coming up?

Yeah we’ll be launching this EP in January 2021 – 16th of Jan at Solbar Sunshine Coast, and 23rd of Jan at The Zoo in Brisbane.

What’s planned for the remainder of 2020 going into 2021?

Relax, jam, enjoy the shows we have coming. Then see what happens.

Favourite food and place to hangout?

Torian started working at Mongrel Bar in Milton a couple months ago and it has become the new spot I think. It’s gotten me into Peruvian style food – the chef there is a serious pro (he owns the venue). It’s also a great location and atmosphere.

Kelly McMichael Premiere

by the partae December 1, 2020

written by the partae

QUOTE FROM KELLY

“Dreamy nostalgia wafts over a mid-tempo groove, and I’m reflecting on the free, silly, frolickings of a trip long ago. Channeling the celebration of good memories and good friends is very soothing right now, so I chose to lead with this single.”

MORE ABOUT KELLY

The incredibly gifted Kelly McMichael (also known as RENDERS) has released her new single “Montreal.” It’s an instantly beguiling tune that straddles the genres of alt, pop and rock – and yet also captures the intimacy of the rural world.

Originally from Peterborough Ontario, and now based in St. John’s Newfoundland – Kelly is known for her commanding stage presence, captivating voice, and classic-sounding songwriting. She has a unique ability, via her creative process, to conduct powerful musical energy through a wide range of sounds. And now, after a number of setbacks, the planets have finally aligned to allow Kelly to record and release her dream debut full length album.

PENNY DROP PRESENTS A 10-DAY MUSIC SERIES AT THE BRAND NEW MALTHOUSE OUTDOOR STAGE MUSIC PROGRAM KICKS OFF THURSDAY 21 JANUARY 2021 TICKETS ON SALE MONDAY 7 DECEMBER

by the partae December 1, 2020

written by the partae

Eight months since the curtain came down on our last live music event, Penny Drop is proud to be among a group of key Melbourne arts and cultural organisations enlisted to launch the Malthouse Outdoor Stage (MOS), a new COVID-safe venue bringing performance to the courtyard of The Malthouse this summer.

Penny Drop will present two performances a night across 10 nights, from some of our favourite local artists – many of whom will be sharing new music from recently (or soon-to-be) released projects – with eager audiences taking in shows in the courtyard’s new purpose-built amphitheatre.

MOS will open 21 January 2021 with performances from ARIA-winning jazz and soul prodigy Kaiit. From there, the Penny Drop presents Malthouse Outdoor Stage program will showcase the always enthusiastic and high-energy Gordon Koang, euphoric funk craftsmen Mildlife in back-to-back performances, the hypnotic sounds of HTRK, Sweet Whirl‘s tender triumphs, a preview of Sarah Mary Chadwick‘s upcoming record, a stripped-back set from Good Morning, the singular style of Emma Donovan & The Putbacks, an album launch for loveable DIY groovers Surprise Chef, and the bruising punk stylings of RVG.

Later on the MOS program you’ll discover stand-up sets courtesy of Token, discussions lead by The Wheeler Centre and The Saturday Paper, and workshops from Chunky Move and Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA). Additional programming partners include Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Midsumma, YIRRAMBOI and RISING.

It was a long winter in a tough year, and we couldn’t be more excited to kick off 2021 with a bang and celebrate summer with opportunities not just for the artists on stage, but for the behind the scenes music industry, whose unseen work truly makes Melbourne the live music capital of Australia.

Let’s get back to a gig. But first, you need to jump into your group-chat and jot down a shortlist, because each show is ticketed in groups of six.

Join us as we welcome live music back to Melbourne safely, finally.

AMY DOWDLE (LASTLINGS) WITH SIOBHAN KRANZ

WATCH: Brand YOU Episode 6 Featuring Amy Dowdle (Lastlings)
and Siobhan Kranz
Brand YOU is a new online content series developed by Mushroom Group and supported by Victorian Government. Across the 6 episode series, prominent female Artists to the likes of Isabella ‘izzi’ Manfredi, Alice Ivy, Thando, Gordi, D’Arcy Spiller and Amy Dowdle, speak candidly with music industry women on issues facing girls and young women today.

In the final episode of Series One, Lastings’ voice and frontwoman Amy Dowdle chats with Frontier Touring’s Siobhan Kranz, as they delve into the pressure put on young women and girls to achieve an impossible beauty standard that is factitious, however instilled into girls through ever-present social media that we are increasingly surrounded and influenced by.

“Social media is a huge issue – especially for young women. There is this ‘beauty standard’ that everyone is trying to achieve and I think it’s important to know that we’re all human and that we are all imperfectly perfect. We are all trying to reach that impossible standard that the media is trying to make us think is the right thing, that this ‘beauty standard’ is what we should all look like.” – Amy Dowdle

Amy Dowdle is one half of Australian-Japanese siblings duo, Lastlings who have just released their debut album First Contact. Renowned for their hypnotic live shows, Lastlings’ have toured Australia and North America with the likes of RÜFÜS DU SOL and Cassian and played shows at Colorado’s Red Rocks and LA State Historic Park, as well as major global festivals Coachella and Splendour in the Grass.

Hi Jori, and welcome to The Partae Hi! Great to be here. Where are you currently based and where were you born? I’m in Portugal now, in a quiet little village South of Lisbon, not too far from the ocean. Originally I’m from Utrecht, in The Netherlands. How did you first get into the music industry and what other projects have you been involved in before COLLIGNON? My father taught me how to play the piano at a young age, and as soon as I could I started playing in bands. I never went to music school, but always wanted to travel around in a bus with a group of friends and play shows. And so that’s what we did, for many years. I was in a couple of different bands, always writing, recording, producing. My last group was SKIP&DIE, a collaboration with Cata.Pirata, a singer and visual artist from South Africa. Who were your biggest musical influences growing up? I remember many days lying on a pillow in front of my dads record collection. I always loved artists that somehow take you traveling. Like Ry Cooder, or David Byrne, Eno. I was going from The Meters to Philip Glass, and a bit later also Damon Albarn, Manu Chao, Beck, Beastie Boys.. Can you talk to us about your new project COLLIGNON and the vision behind it? COLLIGNON is a solo project, but also a vehicle for me to work with different artists. I will do collaborations, set up my studio in another part of the world and launch projects from there. Having this flexibility is very motivating. Since I stopped touring I had some time to reflect on which experiences I loved most from playing with my previous bands. The memories of gigs and festivals that stuck were usually not the biggest crowds, but the ones where we could really connect and have fun with the people there. For me it’s really important, especially in electronic music, that we can really play on stage, interact, improvise, make a mess, make something happen. I love electronic music, but there are some challenges for me. Pressing a button is really a different thing from touching a string, or singing for that matter. There needs to be some character and personality. With modern production you can make everything so perfect and shiny that you might lose feeling, or essence. I think in our times that kind of conflict translates well into many other areas.. Anyway, it’s fascinating to me and I’m trying to walk that line. COLLIGNON’s debut EP ‘Pontcha ku Lua’ will be released at the end of November. What influenced the sound and songwriting for this project? I really wanted to make an instrumental record first. Nobody telling you nothing, just sounds and music to let your mind float. Moving to Portugal also had a big influence. Especially Lisbon has a rich and diverse cultural scene. There is music from Brazil, Cape Verde, Angola, Mozambique, Guine Bissau, all the countries Portugal has historic connections with. There is a lot of new music here for me to dive into. How did you approach the recording/production? When I stopped touring, I built a studio in the garage next to my house and started working from there. This first EP is the result of me being able to develop my own sound in this studio. I used to be working on my laptop in the back of the bus, so to speak, now I have a nice room, some nice microphones and a cool mixingdesk. Some of the tracks are collaborations. I work a lot with Gino Bombrini for example, the percussionist of my previous group SKIP&DIE, he plays all the instruments I can’t play, so that’s real handy. We jam and explore, then I take some time to edit things together. What programs/instruments did you use? I use some drummachines, the Machinedrum and Analog Rytm and also the Octatrack from Elektron to start ideas. I have them all patched to different tracks on the mixer and can send them to different speakers or effects. I have some guitar amps and a leslie, some springverbs, things like that. I found this Revox D36 taperecorder from the 60 that I really like for compression and saturation. I have some old synths, MS20, Jupiter 6, a Voyager, Rhodes, piano and a small modular setup too. On the computer I work mostly in Cubase now. How much has international travel had an influence on your songwriting over the course of your career? Traveling and seeing the spectacular diversity in the world made me humble about all these things you think you know and just take for granted. There is so much to explore and to be curious about. It triggered me to start fighting cultural homogenisation. I believe progress lies in diversity and the flirting, dancing and clashing of ideas. You’ve also made an amazing video to accompany the single. How did the concept for the video come about? Oh thank you, that’s nice! For a while I’ve been interested in video synthesizers. I have an old school one from Atari (the guys who built the original game Pong were always stoned apparently and dreamed up this machine), but there is a company now called LZX in Portland that builds really cool modules. I found the patterns and rhythms I could make with these machines work really well with the music. And it’s a lot of fun to do too. Which other artists are listening to at the moment? Oldies like Caetano Veloso, Holger Czukay, Thelonious Monk, Yusef Lateef, Kasai Alstars or Alain Peters, Nicola Cruz, Mauskovic Dance Band, Mark Ernestus’ Ndagga Rhythm Force. What do you like to do away from music? We have a small campervan and love to drive down the Portuguese coast, but since this virus doesn’t allow us to move much, we’ve spent more time growing veggies and fruits in the garden. Feeding the chickens, reading, meditating, drinking coffee, there’s a lot of that these days. Thanks Jori, and all the best for the rest of the year, Same to you, thank you so much for the attention.

Australia’s newest music show Music People brings Australia’s live music resurgence to your screens!

by the partae December 1, 2020

written by the partae

Artists from around the country encouraged to be involved in Newcastle-based series

With music and live performance now seeing a resurgence around Australia, artists and creatives are finding new ways to document these special shows as they go down in a variety of unique formats and capacities. And as we head into the summer, new music series Music People is proving to be a great asset to this resurgence.

Curated by four music directors – Ben Steer (Continuous Music), Ben Campbell (Newcastle Music Collective), Emily Wurramara, and Karen Eivers, and made possible thanks to an Industry Response Program Grant from The City of Newcastle, the show not only shines a light on some of the country’s most talented songwriters and performers, but it also puts the focus on Newcastle and its iconic Civic Theatre, a venue that plays host to much of the Music People action and performances.

Produced by Maddie Palmer (RAGE, JTV, The Feed) and Matt Field (Field Frequency), Music People has been conceptualised with the aim of not only spotlighting Newcastle’s idyllic music community, but to bring artists from around the country into the fold as the series continues to grow in 2021. The idea for and execution of Music People has been formulating over the last two years; the initial aim squarely focused on unifying the wider Australian music community however with the onset of COVID and its effects on the industry, the series’ importance now has added weight.

Says Matt of Music People, “We have a hugely supportive music-loving population in Australia that spans all ages, yet we compartmentalise much of our music into the youth market, middle age, boomers, etc. In Australia, we need to break down some of these walls and celebrate the artistry. In the same way Top Gear on the BBC showcases all kinds of vehicles to a wide demographic, Music People celebrates our music diversity with a music-loving nation. I look forward to the day when all artists, from all disciplines have multiple channels available to support their career.”

Featuring performances from a diverse range of artists including William Crighton, Kim Churchill, Emily Wurramara, Melanie Dyer, Little Quirks and Harry James Angus, Music People exists to entertain, uplift and inspire. Driven by a love for the art and also by the opportunity to use the platform to spread messages of inclusivity, awareness and change, Music People arrives at a time where the music industry and broader Australian music community is thriving once more. Coming out the other side of what has been an unpredictable and rough year for many.

“Music People provides a platform for all music to live and breathe in one place. Where country and indie can sit alongside electronic, rap, reggae and soul; new, old and everything in between. Music People is diverse, inclusive, raw and real. It’s a show about music people, made by music people, for music people.” Matt Field, Executive Producer

The City of Newcastle, The Newcastle Herald, The Civic Theatre, Tourism Newcastle and a range of other Newcastle outlets will broadcast the episodes of Music People live, while each showcasing artist will also share from their own channels, making each episode a truly unifying effort.

Music People is broadcast Tuesday nights live from 8pm, with episodes continuing into March 2021!
