Unwritten Law return for a killer 2020 tour across the nation. No strangers to Australian soil, the original skate lords from Southern California are pleased to announce they will be running mayhem across a total of 12 stages both in the east and west coast.
Fans can look forward to a personal space with the band away from Hotter Than Hell festival crowds, singing along to famous tracks such as ‘Seein’ Red’ and ‘Save Me’.
“We’ve been coming to Australia for a long time and we’ve come to think of it as our home away from home. I think we just get each other. Every trip over is such a magical thing. We really pour our hearts and souls into every show and leave it all out there every night. And that’s exactly what we plan to do. We’re gonna play some songs we haven’t played in a long time, we’re gonna play the songs we know you want to hear, and you may even hear some of what’s to come.” says Unwritten Law’s frontman, Scott Russo.
With a stacked 12 venues across five states, there is no excuse to miss out on this highly anticipated Unwritten Law comeback tour.

Where are you currently based and what is the music scene like there?
I’m currently based in Bali. There’s so many different music scenes in Bali from traditional music to the underground scene.
How did you first start singing and playing music?
I was interested in music from a young age and played my first instrument at 6years old. As a young teenager I explored all types of instruments and listened to all kinds of different music that inspired me to start writing, make music and learn how to sing.
You’ve recently landed in Australia, how’s it been so far?
Melbourne has been amazing, I’ve seen a lot of great bands, underground culture, street art and skateboarding scene. The city is so inspiring.
You’ve just released your debut 14 track album ‘The Time Is Now’ what influenced the sound and songwriting?
The influence mostly comes from the 50’s era to the 70s punk and rock and roll. My songwriting is mostly influenced from my own life experiences.
How did you go about writing the music and over what time period were the songs written?
There are both English and Indonesian songs on my album which I have written over the past few years. Some songs came to me effortlessly but others took a little longer.
Where and when did you record and who with?
I recorded my album between Jakarta and Bali with a lot of talented musicians. I finished the album with my producer Cipta Gun at his studio in Bali.
How did you approach the recording process?
Some songs were recorded live and other songs were recorded track by track between Jakarta and Bali.
What programs/instruments did you use to record/produce/master?
We used all live recorded instruments and protools to master.
What did you find most challenging and rewarding during the songwriting and recording process?
The most challenging thing was probably scheduling everyone’s time to record. The most rewarding thing was being able to compose my music with so many talented people.
Where can we buy/listen to ‘The Time Is Now’?
The album is out now on all digital music platforms. The CD and merchandise is available through my website www.reno.co.id
You are from the beautiful country of Indonesia, what is the live music scene like there at the moment?
Indonesia is huge and we have more than 17,000 islands so we definitely have a broad mix of all types of live music. From traditional, electronic, punk and pop culture.
Who are you listening to at the moment?
I’m not listening to anything in particular at the moment but I’m always looking for all types of new music and bands to inspire me.
What’s planned for 2020?
Touring to promote my album ‘The Time is now’ and a lot of skateboarding.
Favourite food and place to hangout?
In Bali you can always catch me hanging at ‘Gimme Shelter’, ‘Twice’ bar or the skatepark. My favourite food is Babi guling, google it 🙂

Joe Corti gets 2020 going with his debut All Night Long 7 hour set at Corsica Studios on January 17th. It was at that same 500 cap club, just one year ago, that China White, his event brand and label was born.
Why Corsica? Says Joe, ‘I love everything about the venue! the small rooms, the heavy sound system, the people who run it… I waited a while to get into Corsica and now a year on, it embodies the label and party brand perfectly, so where better to kick start this new year!’
His events have transcended the vibrant London scene to become cult favourites around the UK. He’s featured guests such as Brame & Hamo, Marquis Hawkes, Leo Pol, Cody Currie and more, becoming a tastemaker’s tastemaker. The all-nighter will celebrate and mark the brand’s successful first year and herald a series of eagerly awaited releases and gigs for the much- and deservedly- hyped London-based Corti.
Be it on the dancefloor or through the speakers, Joe will deliver a unique but zeitgeist-grabbing mix of soulful disco, chunky house grooves and an uplifting infectious vibe.
Having burst on to London’s dance music scene with a bang in 2018, embarking on a tour of the states and releasing three pieces of hedonistic dance floor indulgence, then birthing China White, he’s been planning this celebration for some time. ‘The start of the new year felt like the perfect opportunity. It’s hard to fully express yourself in a couple of hours so playing all night long will give China White & Joe Corti fans a much better idea of who I am, where I come from and more importantly where I want to take things in 2020 and beyond.’

“..these rapscallions know how to turn any crowd into absolute hysteria.” – Happy Mag
“…the trio showcase their knack for grabbing your attention and holding onto it so tight it feels like your eyeballs could pop out. “ – Life Without Andy
“Crocodyl-yes.” – The Music
“Get these guys on every festival bill immediately.“ – Declan Byrne, triple j
Hot off the heels of their most colossal year yet, Crocodylus today reveal secret track ‘Feed The Shark’ taken from their latest EP ‘Enjoy’. Those with a vinyl copy of the EP may have caught the delightful surprise hiding at the very end of final belter ‘Kraut’ which offers a different speed from the usually raucous surf-rock trio.
Light and poppy the song employs jangly guitars and plenty of crowd-sourced vocals which will surely be a treat live. Never ones to take time off the band will undertake a bunch of under 18s and 18+ dates spanning across Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide this February to belt out the chorus live.
‘Feed The Shark’ comes off the back of a hefty 2019 for the northern beaches boys who began the year with the first single from their third EP, the fan-focussed ‘Enjoy’ which was released on viral punks The Chats’ label Bargain Bin Records. Focus track ‘Motivation’ caught the attention of Spotify and was included in New Music Friday AU/NZ and All New Rock US, while single ‘Adrenaline’ was touted by General Pants, Wrangler and added to rotation on FBi Radio.
They then finished the year with a reverb-charged 28-date Europe tour supporting the very same mullet-bearers across six countries, with Bad//Dreems and Totally Unicorn in tow. They also picked up a deal with legendary UK booking agency Xray Touring after selling out almost 50% of the dates.
Before traipsing across the globe, their unpredictable live show was honed on local stages where they’ve supported the likes of Ocean Alley, Dune Rats, Hockey Dad and Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, as well as playing a coveted spot on last year’s Yours & Owls Festival, and kicked off 2019 with a tri-headline tour alongside A. Swayze and the Ghosts and VOIID.
Snap up a ticket to see them in the flesh after feeding your new music craving.

“Totally smitten by these melodies from Tanaya and those last 30 secs are just what it needed for a final punch.”
4.5 stars – Declan Byrne triple j Home and Hosed
Perth multi-instrumentalist Tanaya Harper burst back onto Australia’s indie music scene in October 2019 with her insightful lyricism and silken melodies, bearing all on her current single ‘Crash Pad’, which is lifted from her forthcoming EP Slow Motion Break-Up, due for release in early 2020.
The end of 2019 saw Tayana play a sold-out hometown single launch, named as a highlight at Perth’s inaugural WAM Fest, as well as ‘Crash Pad’ coming in at number 5 in the top played songs on RTR radio, plus charting in the Top 10 Amrap Metro Charts for two consecutive weeks.
Tanaya is now pleased to introduce her new band, in her dreamy music video directed, edited, and produced by Perth filmmaker Matthew Pitcher.
‘Crash Pad’ is a song is about feeling unloved in a relationship, which over time leads to the person daydreaming about whether they would be happier alone. “The dreaminess that Matt has communicated in the video may relate directly back to discussions we had about what the song is about: when there’s a disconnect between two people when they aren’t seeing eye-to-eye when there’s this space between them that they just can’t seem to mend,” explains Tanaya on the making of the video.
“I wanted it to feel as though the band were performing in front of an audience, almost like a live appearance on a late night show in the 70’s or 80’s. Ultimately we didn’t want a narrative to distract from the music, so we found a simple and unique approach and rolled with it.” – Matthew Pitcher
In her short amount of time performing as a solo artist, Harper has opened for the likes of Jen Cloher, Body Type, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, Stella Donnelly and Alex The Astronaut, and is looking forward to her first show on 2020 on the 29th January at The Bird in Northbridge Perth.

Threading eclectic experimental rock and indie influences together to form a strong tapestry of music, People Taking Pictures strikes out strong and vibrant with the release of their debut album, Informative Noise. The solo project from Psychedelic Porn Crumpets guitarist Luke Parish, People Taking Pictures blends sounds beautifully on this introductory effort, released via the band’s own label – What Reality Records? – today.
STREAM/BUY I PURCHASE VINYL HERE
The psychedelic tinge remains prominent on Informative Noise, while lo-fi beats and alternative hip-hop structures form an intriguing foundation for People Taking Pictures’ central sound. Taking the listener on an immersive journey incorporating Tame Impala-esque production (‘Isolation Song’, ‘Two Heads’) with genre-twisting bends akin to the stylings of Massive Attack, Floating Points and Gorillaz (‘Solitude’, ‘Perspective’), Informative Noise demonstrates the versatility of Parish’s diverse musical range and talent as a musician and producer.
Recorded at his home studio in Perth, Informative Noise came to fruition amid the stacked touring schedule Psychedelic Porn Crumpets have found themselves embracing over the last year. A steadfastly growing collection of material soon began taking form as a fully fledged album, however the final touches took their time in being applied. Now in its final form, Informative Noise is out and accompanied by a limited vinyl release.
Mastered by Simon Struthers (Forensic Audio) and featuring guest appearances from SUPEREGO’s Nelson Mondlane (‘Propagate’, ‘Adventure Shit’) and strings player/Psychedelic Porn Crumpets collaborator Ben Caddy (‘A Park Without Railings’, ‘The Universal Panache’), Informative Noise has outside flavours, but is very much in line with Parish’s central vision for the People Taking Pictures project. “I think coming from a heavier side of music, I spent a lot of my time over the last couple of years listening to the opposite and finding solace in calmer music. I have always loved hip-hop, jazz and soul music and I wanted to take what I already knew and fuse it into something fresh.”
Luke Parish aka People Taking Pictures
Inspired by the work of artists including Flying Lotus, Stereolab, Connan Mockasin and more has fuelled the People Taking Pictures project, as Parish’s yearning for new music and experiences has been met with some thrilling experiences on the road throughout 2019. Now, as 2020 kicks off, his solo music will give fans and newcomers alike new insight into the artist he is continuing to become.
Informative Noise is out now!
