G FLIP announces ‘DRUMMER’ Australian tour | August/September 2023

by the partae June 15, 2023
written by the partae

Melbourne-born artist, producer and drummer G Flip announces eight-date national run for August/September 2023

First headline tour of Australia since 2019

Tickets go on sale Tuesday 20 June via www.frontiertouring.com/gflip

With special guests Hope D (Bris, Cairns, Perth), Jacoténe (Adel, Torquay, Melb) and Charley (Syd/Newc)

From unknown artist to international star: multi-talented drummer, singer, songwriter and producer G FLIP is one of a kind. Frontier Touring is thrilled to announce G Flip will return home for the DRUMMER Australian Tour this August/September – performing eight huge shows in Brisbane, Cairns, Adelaide, Perth, Torquay, Melbourne, Sydney and Newcastle.

Transcending boundaries and expectations, G Flip (born Georgia Flipo) is becoming the role model they never had growing up. A near-lifelong musician who took up drumming at just nine-years-old, the rising superstar makes the kind of high-powered rock/pop that could only come from the heart and mind of a drummer. First heard on triple j, last month saw the release of new single ‘Be Your Man’ (out now via Future Classic), a track showcasing G’s insightful and reflective songwriting talent and building upon the vulnerability they have become revered for with their music.

Today’s long-awaited tour news is a homecoming celebration for the singer, marking their first headline dates on Aussie soil since 2019. Tickets go on sale Tuesday 20 June (2pm local time) via www.frontiertouring.com/gflip. Sign up for early access to the Frontier Pre-sale, which starts Monday 19 June (1pm local time).

WATCH: ‘Be Your Man’

G Flip recently announced their debut US headline shows, which kick off in September in Santa Cruz, California. The 25-date run includes New York, Boston, Chicago and more, before wrapping in San Francisco in late October. G also just-wrapped a string of stellar Pride Month performances across North America.

Having delivered 2018 debut smash single ‘About You’ – named Best New Track by Pitchfork, with Rolling Stone hailing G Flip as an ‘Artist You Need To Know’ – G Flip matches their potent musicianship with equal parts sonic originality and fantastically outspoken point-of-view (an element informed by their experience as a queer, non-binary artist). They sealed their status as a major festival drawcard with their early, debut performance at Byron’s Splendour In The Grass back in 2018, while last year’s massive return – which saw the drummer performing one-handed! – immediately became the stuff of legend. For the past few years G has dominated triple j’s Hottest 100, the biggest listener voted music poll in the world. 2019 debut About Us has amassed more than 180 million streams to date and debuted on #1 on the ARIA vinyl charts and #6 on Album charts.

Joining the tour as special guests: with singles ‘Hard For Me’, ‘Arizona’ and ‘I Suck At Being Lonely’ accumulating six million combined streams and a Top 4 position at Eurovision Australia Decides in 2022, Sydney-based pop chanteuse Charley (Sydney & Newcastle shows) is on a roll, the energetic singer due to release debut EP TIMEBOMBS in late June. Brisbane artist Hope D (Brisbane, Cairns, Perth shows) made her debut trek to Austin’s SXSW in 2023, following the delivery of debut album Clash of The Substance in Feb 2023. Having performed festival sets at Groovin The Moo, BIGSOUND, Falls and more, fans were won over by tracks like ‘Doormat’ and instant earworm ‘Emerald’. Inspired by artists as diverse as Toots and the Maytals, Gorillaz, Adele, and Amy Winehouse, commanding Melbourne singer Jacoténe (Adelaide, Torquay, Melbourne shows) was crowned triple j’s Unearthed High Winner of 2022, thanks to top 5 most-played track, ‘I Need Therapy (demo)’.

Teasing new music on the way soon, G Flip is ushering in a bold new era. Welcome them home – don’t miss G Flip live on stage this August/September!

AUSTRALIA’S NOASIS RELEASE NEW SINGLE + VIDEO ‘WALK ON’ + ANNOUNCE AUSTRALIAN TOUR DATES

by the partae June 15, 2023
written by the partae

Australian/Anglo Indie Rockers NOASIS have just released their new single and music video ‘Walk On’, which was premiered exclusively via Scenestr.

The lads will be hitting the road for a run of Australian tour dates that kick off in July.

“Walk On is inspired by early years of my life in the UK and listening to bands such as the Stone Roses, Gorillaz and Sneaker Pimps. I have a fondness for that period in my life, and the music around our home, and in my grandad’s car. The song is about the pace of 21st century living and for me, the coming of age in a new country and a very different time of life.”
Tom Spiby – NOASIS 

NOASIS were originally formed the UK. In 2013, Darren Spiby (founding member of NOASIS) moved to Australia and after a few years acclimatizing, brought together a group of lads to run around Australia playing OASIS anthems.

Managed by Our Kid Promotions, NOASIS are a hardworking band that are nothing short of infectious.

The lads recently released their stellar single called ‘In The Shadow (Of Notre-Dame)’. The single was premiered via AAA Backstage and received airplay on over 100 radio stations worldwide.New single ‘Walk On’ is available on all major online stores and streaming services

THE RIONS ANNOUNCE DEBUT EP OUT AUG 11 + SHARE ESCAPIST NEW SINGLE ‘MINIVAN’

by the partae June 15, 2023

PRAISE FOR THE RIONS

“I’ve got all The Rions’ merch. I love that band”
Sam Worthington (Avatar)

“Song rocks!!! I love the chorus and I am unbiased!”
Dayglow

“Self-assured without being too cocky, leaning into a natural flair for performance and music
that won them the Unearthed High comp in the first place”

triple j

“The Rions have delivered an instant hit with Scary Movies”
Nick Findlay, triple j

“The only scary thing about The Rions is their terrifyingly impressive repertoire of loveable uploads”
Abby Butler, triple j Unearthed (4 stars)

“An instant favourite”
Atwood Magazine

“A group certainly amongst that one-to-watch list”
Pilerats

“The Rions are on the rise”
Beat Magazine

Proliferate indie group The Rions continue their ascent with the news of their debut EP Minivan due August 11. The title track arrives today alongside new music video, creative directed and produced by Sydney creative production house Sure Studios. LISTEN + WATCH HERE + PRE-SAVE EP HERE.

Hot off their sold out tour in support of ‘Scary Movies’, (including three shows across Eora / Sydney and Naarm / Melbourne), that landed playlisting on triple j and praised by Nick Findlay as “an instant hit,” amongst Atwood Magazine, NME, Life Without Andy, Music Feeds, RAGE, MTV and more, ‘Minivan’ is the score to P-Plate-dom. Conversely to their contemporaries who speak to relinquishing control and anxieties in a backseat drive, ‘Minivan’ bottles that spirit of Puberty Blues’ runaways with your inaugral Maccas run. The liberation of unsupervision, the magic in possiblity and grabbing the bull – or Happy Meal – by the horns.

Speaking to song, the band share, “Minivan explores the feelings of purpose and chasing your dreams. We really wanted this song to reflect the wild spirit of youth, with a sound that would evoke a sense of maturing and growing into the person you want to become. There comes a time in everyone’s life, when you wish you could just get in a minivan with your friends and drive as far as you can go. And if you ever do chase your dreams in the form of leaving town in the dead of night, Minivan is the only soundtrack you need.”

Like most coming-of-age releases, the Minivan EP too rolls through the motions of finding yourself, grief and heartbreak. Less so of the peaks and pits of love in all its forms, but a thorough excavation of the youthful effervescence in that torpedo period between life’s most pivotal stage. While lyrically The Rions attempt to master and understand adulthood, artistically Minivan covers the gamut of the band’s offering – Mylo Xyloto-like, arena-ready choruses with their keen ear for humility and intimacy intact; capturing a similar jolly mischief of the four best friends running rampant through train stations and fields in A Hard Day’s Night.

They reveal, “This EP is definitely a reflection of many experiences the four of us have had individually over the course of our teenage years. The narrative connecting the songs is that of a person that experiences all the ups and downs of an ordinary life. Having issues with yourself, falling in love, having a meltdown and separating yourself from what hurts you most in an attempt to better yourself as a person.”

Produced and recorded in close collaboration with Chris Collins (Matt Corby, Skegss, Middle Kids), Minivan sees The Rions make sense of the noise happening around them in real time with an innate understanding of their influences. Pieces of Liam and Noel through to John and Paul and beyond, they distil and re-invigorate into a universality that speaks volumes of the four 19-year-olds’ maturity and musicality – which has built the group a loyal fanbase and gone on to sell out national tours in the time since their Unearthed High win.

Guided by a consistent drive to evolve, The Rions weave their own dreamcatcher for listeners on Minivan, a protective vessel for solace and community from the big brothers who’ve already gone through it. With each steady stride that’s gotten them here already – back-to-back Hottest 100 entries, tours supporting Lime Cordiale, Boy & Bear, Pacific Avenue amongst others, festival appearances at Grapevine the Gathering, Party In The Paddock, Festival of the Sun and more – The Rions’ debut EP is a giant leap into the band, and men, they seek to become.

Serwah Attafuah / Future Art x The Partae – Interview

by the partae June 14, 2023
written by the partae

Where are you currently based?

On Dharug land in Western Sydney!

What’s been happening recently?

Just moved into a new art studio so I’m incredibly excited to start creating something new here. I also joined and started two new bands, I haven’t played music in a group setting in over 4 years so I’m stoked to start releasing new tunes.

Please tell us about the work you will be presenting at the Future Art is Vivid event:

It will be a mixture of my recent digital art, including my minted NFTs. Most of my work is what I describe as surreal cyber dreamscapes and heavenly wastelands, populated by afro-futuristic abstractions of self with strong ancestral and contemporary themes.

How did your partnership with Future Art come about?

I met Dave and Sats from Future Art back in 2021 I believe and we have been working together on various projects ever since! It was so cool to meet them as at the time I didn’t really know anyone in Sydney who participated or even knew of Web3. One of the first collaborations we did together was for last years Future Art x Vivid in which we created an AR experience with Yahoo that people could view all over Sydney.

What can people expect from the event?  It sounds very immersive and engaging, can you describe the experience?

It will be wild if its anything like last years event!! There’s lots of things happening, and the music will compliment the visuals so well. I’m particularly excited to see what Giant Swan is going to do.

Please tell us about your transition from Music artist to visual artist:

It felt very natural, I had basically been playing music full time for years and hadn’t had the chance to work on my visual art. I’m the type of person that likes to put 100% of my time and energy into one thing rather than multitasking so I made time for just art. I still love to play music but at the moment my big focus is on visual.

What it was like working with big brands and garnering the attention of Paris Hilton?

It’spretty surreal, actually. Every job is so different and it helped me learn a lot. The artwork I created for Paris Hilton was one of my favourite projects to date; she was super lovely to work with and couldn’t be happier with the artwork!

How did you come to work with brands?

I started working and collaborating with larger brands and celebs at the start of the pandemic when a lot of design agency’s had to go online. I had been putting my work out on different parts of the web for over a decade at that point so I guess I had built up a decent enough portfolio.

Who are you listening to at the moment musically?

Mostly industrial metal like Godflesh and dance music like Snow Strippers, when I’m working I like to listen to ambient music such as Deepchord and Stephen Hitchell.

What do you have planned for the remainder of 2023?

I’ve got some large scale international projects that I’m working on and I’m very excited to announce when I get the chance (keep and eye out on my socials). I’m also working on a blockchain based game set in Sydney.

Favourite food and place to hangout?

At the moment I’d say La Disfida in Haberfield – best pizza and Italian food in Sydney!!

Date: June 16

Time: 8pm – 3am

Heterochromia release sassy new pop rock single ‘Plastic’

by the partae June 10, 2023
written by the partae

Sydney indie-pop soloist Heterochromia shares dancey new single, Plastic, before heading on the Cracked Porcelain Tour, visiting towns across the nation.

Exploring the throes of self-worth, Plastic boasts a mellow balance of energetic rock and bubblegum pop genres, engaging listeners with sing-along melodies, bouncing riffs and an upbeat rhythm section that delivers an important message packaged in candied sarcasm.

“Plastic laments a time in my life where I was feeling very ornamental and used by various characters in my life, which served as a catalyst for the toy motif we’ve been playing with so far,” says vocalist Bree Vane. “Plastic has a very cathartic ‘f*ck you I’m a whole person’ chorus that makes it a lot more positive, and it’s definitely the most upbeat song we’ve written. I’m really excited for people to dance to this one”

Produced by Joshua Gonzalez, and mixed and mastered by Christopher Vernon (Belle Haven, Future Static, Better Half), Plastic builds with each passage to create a lush sonic tapestry teeming with Vane’s signature sugar-coated pop energy.

The track forefronts Vane’s exemplary songwriting and commanding yet vulnerable vocals in a high-end production package that makes for a truly evocative performance.

Heterochromia will be taking their live performances across the East Coast on the Cracked Porcelain Tour visiting Canberra, Melbourne, Newcastle, Brisbane and Sydney. Heterochromia will headline Hamilton Hotel in Newcastle on August 6 and Oxford Art Gallery in Sydney on September 9. Surrounding dates will see Heterochromia support up and coming acts local to each show. More information below!

No stranger to the music industry, Vane is renowned for her contribution to the Australian music community as a photographer and graphic designer. Most notably, Vane spearheaded Wall Of Sound’s evolution into digi-mag territory, where she has successfully curated both the Good Things Festival Special and the soon to be released Knotfest Special digi-mags. A woman of many creative endeavours, Vane is also the brains behind the machine that is Heterochromia.

Heterochromia’s debut 2022 single Baby Doll, a tale of forbidden love, put the name on the map and saw Vane debut her live show with a band at Sydney’s packed out Burdekin Hotel last November. Earlier this year Vane collaborated with alt rock favourite David De La Hoz of Belle Haven on sophomore single Kicking, demonstrating a great emotional range and commendable musicianship.

Plastic is the third single by Heterochromia before a larger release will make its way into the world later in the year. Plastic is available now, streaming on all platforms.

FOO FIGHTERS announce Australia & New Zealand stadium tour | AU Nov/Dec 2023 + NZ Jan 2024

by the partae June 5, 2023
written by the partae

Following last week’s release of their universally acclaimed new album But Here We Are, Frontier Touring is thrilled to announce 15-time GRAMMY® winners Foo Fighters will return to Australia and New Zealand this summer – bringing their unrivalled live show to stadiums in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane in November/December 2023, followed by Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington in January 2024. ​

The just-announced dates will be Foo Fighters’ first headline tour of both countries since 2018. ​

Tickets go on sale Thursday 15 June via frontiertouring.com/foofighters. The American Express Pre-sale begins Friday 9 June (staggered times). Sign up for the Frontier Members Pre-sale, which starts Tuesday 13 June (times staggered) – see website for full details.

Released last Friday, Foo Fighters’ 11th studio album But Here We Are is out now on Roswell Records/RCA Records – listen here. Featuring ‘Rescued’, ‘Under You’, ‘Show Me How’, and ‘The Teacher’, the 10-track album was produced by Greg Kurstin and Foo Fighters, and has been already been met with waves of critical acclaim hailing it as one of the best in the vaunted Foo Fighters catalogue. Sonically channelling the naiveté of the band’s 1995 debut, informed by decades of maturity and depth, But Here We Are is the sound of brothers finding refuge in the music that brought them together in the first place 28 years ago, a process that was as therapeutic as it was about a continuation of life.

The Dandys Join Splendour In The Grass Lineup And Kill The Power Of Derogatory Remarks In ‘Smile More’

by the partae June 4, 2023
written by the partae
Previous Support For The Dandys
‘Smile More’ Added to Apple Music’s New Music Daily

“The Dandys score points for how assured this one sounds. The slick confidence ius super impressive”
 4 / 5 (Dave Ruby Howe, Triple J Unearthed) [About ‘Take You Home’]

“Well, what do we have here? Some arena-ready indie rock that’s a bit gritty, really polished and very fun to listen to? A bit of Laurel vibe? I’m in.”
4.5 / 5 (Abby Butler, Triple J) [About ‘Take You Home’]
 
‘Take You Home’ in AMRAP Metro Charts for 3 weeks running
(#5 week 1 / #1 week 2 / #8 week 3)

“Set atop bubbling bass lines and atmospheric sonics, vocalist Mads Protheroe’s luring vocals simmer whilst exploring the thrill of the chase.”
(MILKY) [About ‘Take You Home’]

“An affable hook-machine laden with carbonated basslines, swaying rhythms and grunge-infused pop, Take You Home is yet another polished sonic outing for The Dandys”
(Hysteria) [About ‘Take You Home’]
“Meanjin darlings The Dandys are quickly become one of the ‘it’ bands to emerge from the banks of the Maiwar for quite some time, their riveting, irresistible, grungy indie rock
appealing to ears and dancing feet alike.” 
(Scenestr)
“You guys are pillars of the local music scene…”
(4ZZZ)
06b5e046-768f-11ed-bcf6-8910796e78fa%2F1684125180295-%5BSingle-Cover-Art%5D-Smile-More_The-Dandys.jpg
Stream ‘Smile More’ 
After just getting added to the Splendour In The Grass lineup, The Dandys  –the punk/ alt-rock newcomers hailing from Brisbane/Meanjin– have released their hard-hitting and razor-sharp new single, ‘Smile More’ (Friday, June 2). With a commanding presence and an unapologetic attitude, The Dandys bring their fierce energy to the forefront, tackling the urgent and important subject of sexual assault in a ferocious and empowering manner.

With just three previous single releases, The Dandys have garnered attention nationwide. The band recently embarked on their first national tour, supporting Hope D and Asha Jefferies across major cities, including Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Adelaide, and Brisbane. Additionally, they have graced esteemed festivals like Mountain Goat Valley Crawl and Jungle Love, and supported acts including The Grogans, Peach Fur and The Dreggs, solidifying their reputation as an electrifying live act.

Now, with ‘Smile More’, The Dandys unleash an anthem that demands attention. This fierce and angry track boldly confronts the experiences and aftermath of sexual assault, weaving a narrative that resonates with raw emotion and hard-hitting lyrics. Lead singer Mads Protheroe’s vocals cut through with ferocity, expressing the frustration, discomfort, and resilience that come with surviving such traumatic experiences.

In Protheroe’s own words, “‘Smile More’ is a song that explores the physical and emotional responses to sexual assault, as well as the lasting impact of these experiences. It’s about shedding light on the uncomfortable reality of feeling unsafe and the toxic expectations placed on women and female-presenting individuals. Through this song, we aim to empower everyone to stand up against such behaviour and reclaim their power.”

With its boppy-pop-rock package, ‘Smile More’ ingeniously merges catchy melodies with a profound message, aiming to raise awareness, encourage dialogue, and challenge societal norms. By amplifying the clichéd and derogatory remarks directed at women, The Dandys strip away their power, urging listeners to join in and dismantle the harmful narratives perpetuated by toxic culture.

The band’s previous releases have seen praise from the likes of Hysteria Mag, Music Feeds, Triple J Unearthed, Scenestr, AAA Backstage, MILKY, Livewire AU, idobi Anthem (US), and a heap of community radio stations across Aus.

The Dandys have a heap of shows coming up, including their slot at Splendour In The Grass, which they were recently awarded through the QUBE Effect run by the Brisbane City Council. They can also be caught supporting WAAX for their final shows on June 4, 8 and 9 at the Triffid and Adam Newling at Brisbane’s Brightside on June 3.

‘Smile More’ by The Dandys will be available on all major music platforms starting Friday, June 2. Prepare to be captivated by their fearless and unapologetic approach as they ignite conversations and empower audiences with their commanding music.


Upcoming Shows

June 8 – The Triffid, Meanjin | Supporting WAAX

Sunny Luwe Brings The Sun Out This Winter With Single ‘Summer Kisses’

by the partae June 4, 2023
written by the partae
Support For Sunny Luwe

‘Summer Kisses’ added to Spotify’s New Music Friday

Played on Blak Out and the Breakfast Show on Triple J

Featured on Spotify’s Aus & NZ official Instagram story (104k followers) to promote ‘Movin’ On’

All singles featured on Spotify’s ‘Original Storytellers’ playlist
Cover Artist on Blank (Jan 23)

“‘Fly Like A Bird’ lifts your mood like a sundrenched day when you’ve got nowhere to be but cruising the coastline” 
(Blank) [About ‘Fly Like A Bird’]

“Taking inspiration from the rhythmic sounds of the 60s and 70s, as well as more contemporary 90s pop artists like Nelly Furtado, Luwe’s latest track is complemented by an equally soaring music video.” (Beat Mag) [About ‘Fly Like A Bird’]

“Once again Dani’s sweeping you up with her storytelling and gentle melodies.”
(Declan Byrne, Triple J) [About ‘Double Shot’]

06b5e046-768f-11ed-bcf6-8910796e78fa%2F1684293725261-%5BSingle-Cover-Art%5D-Summer-Kisses_Sunny-Luwe.jpg

Gold Coast-based (Kombumerri Country) First Nations artist Sunny Luwe, formerly known as Dani Teveluwe, returns to captivate listeners with her latest release, ‘Summer Kisses’. Following the success of her synth-y summer dream ‘Fly Like A Bird’, Sunny Luwe embraces her authentic musical journey with this blissful indie-folk gem, out today (Friday, June 2).

As a natural-born storyteller and Weilwan woman, Sunny Luwe effortlessly warms our winter with the sweetness of ‘Summer Kisses’. The track showcases her remarkable vocal ability, blending lush vocal layers, sweet subtle harmonies, and an effortless delivery that dances between near spoken word and a heartwarming vocal style. Recorded in a home studio, this labour of love underwent a transformative process to capture the essence of the song’s true sweetness.

Collaborating with Matt Collins of WHARVES, Sunny Luwe found the perfect musical partnership to bring ‘Summer Kisses’ to life. Their creative synergy is evident in the dreamy instrumentation and uplifting melodies that instantly transport listeners to sunny, blue-sky days. This upbeat and pleasant track invites you to stroll barefoot, bask in its warm and relaxing atmosphere, and immerse yourself in its lulling indie-folk charm.

In alignment with her commitment to the environment, Sunny Luwe has made her musical project carbon-neutral through carbon offsetting. With a deep sense of gratitude, she calculated the carbon footprint generated by the entire single release and offset it by donating funds to Rainforest 4, a North Queensland Conservation project focused on protecting the Daintree Rainforest from deforestation and preserving our old-growth rainforests.

Inspired by fellow artists in the industry, Sunny Luwe demonstrates her dedication to effecting meaningful change by supporting Rainforest 4’s mission through carbon offsetting. She recognizes the power of her guide (found on her artist webpage) she created to help encourage others to embrace carbon offsetting and contribute to a sustainable future.

As an artist who has received airplay on prominent radio stations such as Triple J, Double J, and community radio across Australia as well as Spotify editorial playlists including Original Storytellers, Sunny Luwe continues to captivate audiences and turn heads with her undeniable talent. Recently named an Indigenous Award Finalist for the 2023 Queensland Music Awards, Sunny Luwe is poised to make an even greater impact on the music scene.

‘Summer Kisses‘ is available on all major streaming platforms now, inviting listeners to warm their hearts and souls repeatedly with this delightful tune. Embrace the feel-good vibes and let Sunny Luwe’s musical magic transport you to sun-drenched days and carefree moments.


Upcoming Shows:
June 7 – Miami Marketta, Miami QLD
June 23 – BEMAC, Brisbane QLD | Traditional Music Meets Pop with Peranya Visitchantaragoon

Drift release new dreamy alt rock single “Begin”

by the partae June 4, 2023
written by the partae

Fresh Wollongong alternative rock outfit Drift release soaring new single Begin just in time for their hometown headline show on June 3.

Swimming in jangly guitar layers and alluring vocal melodies, Begin dives into feelings of heartbreak and the pain of losing someone as an anchor, reflecting on the past and wanting to reclaim the present.

Vocalist Callum McCombie explains, “Begin was written from the depths of that feeling of wanting to hold onto something or someone you love so much that it becomes a detriment. Begin is trying to start again. A new beginning was the end of this period for me, and was a great step towards improving myself and the situation.”

Working with producer and engineer Chris Peruch, Drift fully embrace the sensibility of their shoe gaze and emo influences on Begin, carving out soundscapes that are equal parts powerful and moving for fans of bands like My Bloody Valentine, DIIV and Fiddlehead.

The Begin music video and visual artwork portray the band’s humble beginnings, showcasing a performance aspect where the band are jamming in a homely garage space, juxtaposed against an abstract and chaotic chess match between an angel and the devil. The game ultimately ends in the angels’ favour, depicting the idea that good will prevail. Watch here.

Drift are set to headline a show at Seeker Brewing in Unanderra on June 3 to celebrate the release of their new single, supported by friends in Busted Head Racket and Pictures With Yuki. Tickets are already moving quickly, and are available here. In addition, Drift have also announced they’ll support post-punk band dust on their upcoming et cetera, etc tour in Sydney on June 9, and will have more shows to announce very soon.

Drift is a project that has always set out to create easy listening material with emotional soundscapes. Forming in early 2020, Drift began as the solo shoegaze/emo project for frontman McCombie. Shortly after McCombie started working on music alone, the missing puzzle pieces fell into place when Nelson Thurgate (guitar), Ruben Dragone (drums) and Marley Mondzheyovsky (bass) joined the fold and solidified the outfit as a four-piece.

Drift have since been warmly welcomed into the live music circuit, selling out multiple hometown shows, sharing the stage with fellow Wollongong act TOTTY on a national tour in 2022 as well as showcasing their sound on the Factory Theatre stage at Glider Festival the year before.

The band has been hard at work developing a body of work that will see its release over the course of the year following the positive response from previous single At Last, which saw play on triple j Unearthed, a number of positive Unearthed reviews as well as play on triple j‘s Home and Hosed.

Begin is out today and is streaming everywhere now. Catch it live at Seeker Brewing June 3rd, tickets on sale now.

AIRBEAT ONE Festival announces Full Line Up

by the partae May 23, 2023
written by the partae

40,000 tickets sold already – Northern Germany’s biggest electronic festival celebrates 20th anniversary and presents the complete Line Up

From the 12th to the 16th of July 2023 one of the biggest electronic music festivals in Europe has a very special birthday. AIRBEAT ONE celebrates its 20th anniversary. What started in 2001 as a small party for 1,000 guests at the Neustadt-Glewe airfield has now become one of the big mega festivals with up to 65,000 visitors per day. Anyone who wants to be there in 2023 should hurry, because two months before the start, over 40,000 tickets have already been sold.

This year’s edition is themed “Edition Home – Germany”, because milestone birthdays are best celebrated at home with family and all friends. It should be a gigantic birthday party with guests from over 50 countries. Also a lot of the best DJs and acts will fly in from all over the world to the tranquil town of Neustadt-Glewe in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania to congratulate AIRBEAT ONE. Who will be at this year’s edition is confirmed now with the announcement of the Full Line Up.

Only the biggest DJs and acts on the planet will perform on the epochal showpiece of the AIRBEAT ONE festival, the “Mainstage” with its monstrous dimensions of up to 180 meters wide and 50 meters high. Here alone, 16 artists from DJ Mag UK’s prestigious Top 100 ranking will perform: ALOK, Boris Brejcha, Charlotte de Witte, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Fisher, Hardwell, KSHMR, Morten, Oliver Heldens, Paul van Dyk, Steve Aoki, Sunnary James & Ryan Marciano, Timmy Trumpet, Vini Vici, W&W and Will Sparks. True to the motto “Edition Home – Germany”, the blockbusters from Germany will also be on the main stage: Fritz Kalkbrenner, Marten Horger, Neelix, Paul Kalkbrenner and Scooter. And with Öwnboss, the absolute top of the line from Brazil will be flying in.

Techno is the defining sound on the Arena Stage, which was added to the stage program just a few years ago. Prominent names from the important DJ Mag Top 100 ranking are also represented here: Claptone, Danny Avila, Deborah de Luca, Nora En Pure, Reinier Zonneveld and Vintage Culture. In line with the theme, high-ranking German techno artists will also come to the Arena, such as Adana Twins, Anne Clue, Moritz Hofbauer and SKIY. But that’s not all. Other international big names and upcoming artists of the techno scene like Camelphat, Enrico Sangiuliano, i hate models, Indira Paganotto, Kölsch, LEVT, Lilly Palmer, Prophecy and Tinlicker will be performing. HI-LO, Oliver Helden’s minimalist side-project and Meduza as the biggest Italian streaming artist in Italy’s music history close the Arena Stage Line Up.

The Hardstyle stage of the AIRBEAT ONE Festival will show up as Eagle Stage for the “Edition Home – Germany”. The acts on this stage resemble the Line Up of a dedicated Hardstyle Festival. With Angerfist, Brennan Heart and Miss K8 (b2b Deadly Guns) three Top 100 members are represented. But the list of stars of harder sounds for this year’s edition is almost endless: Act of Rage, Atmozfears, Audiotricz, Bass Modulators b2b Adrenalize, Coone, Creek, D-Block & S-te-Fan, D-Sturb, Da Tweekaz, Demi Kanon, Dr. Peacock, Frequencerz b2b B-Front, Frontliner, Gunz For Hire, Headhunterz, Jebroer, Mandy, Noisecontrollers, Partyraiser b2b Bulletproof, Paul Elstak ft.

What a lineup of headliners and all of it hosted by Villain!

The legendary Terminal stands for the styles Electro, Tech House and Tropical. With Bassjackers, Kaaze, Lucas & Steve, Quintino and Topic, five acts from the current DJ Mag Top 100 will be behind the turntables in 2023. For the anniversary, this stage will deliver the largest amount of German artists with illustrious names like Anstandslos & Durchgeknallt, Die Gebrüder Brett, Gestört aber GeiL, HBz, Housekasper, Le Shuuk, Lexy & K-Paul, Mausio, Moguai, Ostblockschlampen, Thomas Lizzara, VIZE and YouNotUs. Three of the best known acts from Austria come with Harris & Ford, Klangkarussell and Toby Romeo. But also international top-class acts like Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman, EDX, Klingande, Mike Perry and Regard are going to fill the tent with excitement.

After this phenomenal line-up of stars on the other stages, the Second Stage won’t be left out and presents a total of 33 top names of the Goa and Psytrance scene. Ace Ventura, Astrix, Blastoyz, Bliss, Captain, Hook, Cloud 7, Fabio Fusco, Hatikwa, Laughing Buddha, Liquid Soul, Morten Granau, Phaxe, Pribe, Ranji, Schrittmacher, Skazi, Tristan and Vegas are just a few of the most famous names.

At the free pre-opening party presented by NJOY, there will be beats from Anton Jonathan, Finn Sitzenstock, Christian Lidsba, Restricted, Jerome, Mark Bale, Axmo, Aftershock and Thyron in the Main Camping.

There is another floor in the VIP Camping Village.

For Saturday, Brachland takes over the VIP Village stage with Vabu b2b Davide, Eatmydisco, Daniel Warzecha, Marc Deal, Ozzy Riot and Mark Stanton.

Up to 65,000 visitors from over 50 nations are expected at the anniversary edition of the AIRBEAT ONE festival. On the five stages of the four-day open air event, every electronic fan will find his or her electronic sound, from EDM to trance and progressive – from hardstyle, hardcore and gabber to techno, minimal, house, psytrance and goa.

The 3-day ticket for the mega-festival is currently available in pre-sale phase III for 149.99 euros plus fees at tickets.airbeat-one.de. 

But AIRBEAT ONE is not just a festival, it is a five-day vacation. And that’s why you shouldn’t wait too long to book your accommodation. The Main Camping is already 85% booked and the VIP Camping 98% booked. So if you still want to park your car right next to your tent, you should be quick.

FLETCHER RETURNS TO AUSTRALIA / NZ WITH ‘GIRL OF MY DREAMS’

by the partae May 23, 2023
written by the partae

SYDNEY (May 22, 2023) – FLETCHER will return to Australia and New Zealand later this year in celebration of her critically-acclaimed debut album GIRL OF MY DREAMS.

FLETCHER established herself as a bonafide pop star in 2022.

Hailing from Asbury Park, New Jersey, FLETCHER received industry acclaim early in her career – largely due to her natural and candid storytelling talent, exemplified on her debut EP, you ruined new york city for me, in 2019. The record featured FLETCHER’s breakout hit ‘Undrunk’, which scored the #1 spot on Spotify’s Viral Chart; an early indicator of the musician’s potential. Following this up with 2020’s, THE S(EX) TAPES, FLETCHER returned triumphant, adding to her winning scorecard with songs like ‘Bitter’ fast-climbing to 250 million global streams.

FLETCHER made new waves with GIRL OF MY DREAMS, landing within the Top 15 of the Billboard 200: a powerfully potent collection of songs that provided 2022’s most memorable pop moments, including ‘Becky’s So Hot’, ‘Sting’ and ‘Better Version’. To date, FLETCHER has amassed over one billion streams globally,

The release of GIRL OF MY DREAMS brought solidified FLETCHER as a U.S. star with staying power. Among her achievements during the album cycle, FLETCHER performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, completed a sold out 25-date tour of North America, and joined Miley Cyrus for a rendition of ‘Midnight Sky’ as part of Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party – another viral moment of 2022.

“Nothing thrilled me aurally as much this year as the long-awaited
debut album from this Sydney post-punk quartet”

Giselle Au-Nhien Nguyen, The Guardian 
(The 21 Best Australian Albums of 2022)

“There’s nothing common about this album: It’s a self-possessed statement of intent and
one of the best Australian debut albums in recent memory”

Doug Wallen, NME Magazine (★★★★★)

“Referencing Eve Babitz and David Cronenberg but taking musical cues from freak
DIY punk bands like Nots and the Reatards, the debut album from Sydney four-piece
Body Type is punchy and invigorating, a blast of energy that takes early-pandemic malaise
and turns it into something witty and thrilling”

Shaad D’Souza, The FADER

“Powered by three songwriting personalities and drawing from DIY punk traditions,
Body Type called it how they saw it on articulate, cutting belters”

Double J

“One of the most consistently impressive, powerful,
and exciting bands on the Australian scene”

Rolling Stone Australia

“Body Type at their most cheeky, assertive, and forward-looking”
DIY (★★★★)

“Whip-smart twisting of the post punk garage band template”
The Line of Best Fit (8/10)

“One of my favourite Australian bands”
Zan Rowe, Double J

“Pretty tongue in cheek and clever”
Anthony Fantano, theneedledrop

“Chock-full of angsty lyrics and post-punk riffs”
Frankie Magazine

“High-impact, tongue-in-cheek and with that punk spirit”
RUSSH Magazine

“All-female outfit spark a new era with indie-rock-punk euphoria”
Pilerats

As Body Type steady for their upcoming UK and EU tour dates, the group today announce their national album tour, presented by Double J, in support of their second album Expired Candy out June 2 via Poison City Records. BUY TICKETS HERE + PRE-ORDER LP HERE.

Across August, Body Type will be joined by Sweetie and Perfect Actress in Eora / Sydney, Our Carlson and Chimers in Dharawal Land / Port Kembla, Gut Health and Sweetie in Naarm / Melbourne, Platonic Sex and Nakki Soul in Meanjin / Brisbane plus Ash Baroque and Paint in Boorloo / Perth. The band’s live show recently rocked crowds at High Voltage Festival – “Body Type stopped traffic” Rolling Stone‘s review read – alongside supports with The Pixies, Fontaines D.C., Wolf Alice and previously, Big Thief, Cate Le Bon, POND, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Rolling Blackouts Coast Fever, DZ Deathrays, MOD CON.

If Body Type’s debut record Everything Is Dangerous But Nothing’s Surprising was an exuberant and furious declaration of dominion, then their swift follow-up Expired Candy is all about revelling in the space they’ve carved out. It’s sweet, acidic, tough and undeniable all at once, and speaking to the forthcoming release Body Type reveal that “Expired Candy is filled with hope, love, and danger, dancing with delicious uncertainty. In pursuit of joy we dreamed up songs about mothers, sisters, dogs, nans; family tantrums, forward motion, falling in love, platonic or romantic, with someone or self. Heart breaks, tooth will shatter, but she’ll be there when it really matters. Flirty, feral and defiant, just how we like it. From our wild heart to yours, Body Type.”

Including singles in the just released ‘Weekend’ and the Double J playlisted ‘Holding On’ and ‘Miss The World’, Expired Candy is a euphoric, lawless rock record, characterised by unfaltering intensity. Oceanic yearning mixes with sly humour. Guitars spit and swell and slice through harmonies. Moments of elation and bizarre imagery are wrung from the monotony of every day. Vocals knot together, producing ecstatic, slanted melodies. An album about not being so certain that confinement and desolation lead to a dead end. Instead, stagnation may serve as the perfect breeding ground for joyous bewilderment and an inflamed imagination. Like the stale confection of its title, Expired Candy is a blistering listen because of the way it transmutes gloom into resistance.

Their Australian Music Prize-nominated debut album Everything Is Dangerous But Nothing’s Surprising including highlights ‘Buoyancy‘ ‘The Charm’ and ‘Sex & Rage‘ across the 11-track record sought praise far and wide: Rolling Stone, The Guardian, NME, DIY, Frankie Magazine, Clash, Dork, The Line Of Best Fit and more, as well as radio support from all corners of the country landing Album of the Week placements across 2SER, FBi Radio, SYN, Edge Radio and RTR FM and much more.

‘Weekend’ is out now, buy/stream it here.
