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.

Joining Foo Fighters as special guests are:

(Perth, Adelaide, Sydney + Brisbane): QLD punkers The Chats conquered the globe in 2017 with ‘Smoko’ then hit #1 with LP Get F**cked. Hands down the world’s greatest post-millennial punk-rock group, they’ll be match-fit by November following a 28-date US tour in October.

(Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane): Manchester duo Hot Milk release their debut album A Call To The Void in August, in between northern hemisphere sets at festivals Download, Lollapalooza, Reading, and more. ​

Melbourne: Channelling Riot Grrrl-era energy with a 2023 spin, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers wrapped their debut UK tour last month. EP Pretty Good For A Girl Band stands testament as a powerful documentation of voicing what the band stand for.

Perth: After taking out triple j’s Unearthed High crown in 2020 and touring the country as part of festival line-ups since, Adelaide duo and self-proclaimed “Juice-box punk-pop” girls Teenage Jones headed to Austin, Texas, to make their SXSW debut in 2023.

Adelaide: Sydney four-piece Body Type amassed critical acclaim with 2022 debut Everything Is Dangerous But Nothing’s Surprising, nominated for ‘Record of Year’ by FBI Radio. Get your head around their new album, Expired Candy.

(Aotearoa, all shows): An essential party-punk voice for working people, five-piece Dick Move are notorious for their pumping live shows. Their blink-and-you’ll-miss-it punk anthems can be heard on latest album Chop. ​

With demand sure to be high for these eight shows, fans are urged to act quickly to secure tickets… Don’t miss the one and only Foo Fighters, touring Australia and New Zealand this summer!

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
June 9 – The Triffid, Meanjin | Supporting WAAX

July 21 – 23 – Splendour In The Grass, Ngarindjin

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.

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.

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.

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.

The GIRL OF MY DREAMS TOUR will be an unmissable opportunity for fans to experience the album live, and fall further in love with FLETCHER as she makes her way to both countries at the end of 2023.

The tour will take FLETCHER to New Zealand first, where she will bring her live show to the Auckland Town Hall on November 29. From there, she will tour Australia, starting in Sydney on December 2 at the Hordern Pavilion, and making her way to Melbourne’s Forum and Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall, before finishing the run in Perth at Metro City.

Fans will have the opportunity to get up close and personal with FLETCHER, with both an Ultimate Meet & Greet Experience and Soundcheck Experience packages on offer.

Tickets for all shows go on sale at 1pm, Friday 26 May.

Live Nation is bringing an exclusive pre-sale to Live Nation Members from 12pm, Thursday 25 May until 12pm, Friday 26 May.

Everything Is Dangerous But Nothing’s Surprising LP
FBi Radio Album Of The Week
2SER Radio Feature Album
RTR FM Feature Album
Edge Radio Feature Album
SYN FM Local Feature Album
3RRR Feature Album

“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.

Also hitting the stage will be legendary Fugees member and solo artist Wyclef Jean, as well as Bob Marley’s son Julian Marley.

Jammin Festival 2024 will be staged in Sydney and on the Gold Coast over the weekend of Feb 3-4, with both locations set to ignite in a celebration of good vibes, fun and culture. The two-day event will offer music for every reggae lover. Also on the line-up will be Hawaii’s Polynesian reggae star Fiji, US sensation J Boog and Jamaican reggae fusion band Third World. New Zealand favourites House of Shem and Sons of Zion will perform, as will Hawaiian-cum Samoan reggae band Common Kings.

Australians have been craving this type of festival, with over 50,000 tickets selling at the 2023 event.”

Decibel Open Air Announces 2023 Lineup Featuring Amelie Lens, Michael Bibi, Paul Kalkbrenner And More

by the partae May 10, 2023
written by the partae
Tickets: www.decibelopenair.com
Date: 9-10th September, 2023
Location: Florence, Italy

Facebook / Instagram: @decibelopenair

Decibel Open Air is back in Florence from 9-10 September 2023, after the recently sold out Easter Edition and last year’s event gathering fifty thousand attendees, with thirty percent coming outside of Italy, the legendary electronic festival is revealing the first names of their incredible lineup.

Decibel Open Air 2023 offers one the best of the electronic music acts with  Moderat (live), Paul Kalkbrenner (live), Peggy Gou, Michael Bibi, Amelie Lens, Salmo (live), Lazza (live), Boris Brejcha, Loco Dice B2b Jamie Jones, Camelphat, Meduza, I Hate Models, Folamour, WhoMadeWho, Nico Moreno, Trym, 999999999, Indira Paganotto, Charlie Sparks, Klangkuenstler, Anfisa Letyago, Adiel, Daria Kolosova, Raven, Amémé, Honey Luv, Brina Knauss, Luca Agnelli, Dov’è Liana, Pôngo, Mattia Trani, Speaking Mind and many others. A huge line up with best live and dj sets, an excellent mix of techno and house and other eclectic sounds.

Paul Kalkbrenner comes back to Decibel Open Aor for the third time. Coming from the golden age of techno and turning twelve when the Berlin Wall fell, he spent his teenage years raving, before starting to DJ and collect records as electronic dance music’s first tidal wave spilled throughout the city. He realized early that DJing wasn’t for him, and has focused on producing and playing his own music live ever since.

Sitting somewhere between Detroit, London and Berlin in sound, Peggy Gou dj sets are an assured, kinetic combination of dark, pulsing house and techno, broken beats and abstract compositions.

Michael Bibi is a name that resonates with many. His sound and productions (Solid Grooves) are instantly recognizable: thanks to them he has soundtracked nights and  events across the globe in Ibiza, London, New York, Buenos Aires and Tulum.

Decibel Open Air is going to be very much strengthened thanks to a huge line up and many novelties. Most of all, a new location: an area of over hundred thousand square meters, able to improve services and logistics. All the details will be revealed very soon.

LINEUP
MODERAT live, PAUL KALKBRENNER live, PEGGY GOU, MICHAEL BIBI, AMELIE LENS, SALMO live (big domestic rap act), LAZZA live (big domestic rap act),
BORIS BREJCA, LOCO DICE b2b JAMIE JONES, CAMELPHAT, MEDUZA, I HATE MODELS, FOLAMOUR, WHOMADEWHO, NICO MORENO, TRYM, 999999999,

The makers of iconic indie hits Heads Will Roll, Date with the Night, Maps, Sacrilege and Burning are well and truly ready to return down under. Don’t miss the alchemy and transformative magic as they take the stage with their high energy performance! British songwriter Sam Fender will perform a headline show in Perth, with his euphoric, hard-hitting guitar anthems in tow. Fender’s 2021 album Seventeen Going Under sent the Newcastle artist stratospheric, reaping a clutch of awards (including BRITs, NMEs, Ivor Novellos and a first Mercury Prize nomination). Sam Fender is one of Britain’s most celebrated and successful musicians of a generation and Western Australians will get to see why in July.

That’s as British rapper, singer and actress Little Simz lights up stages in Melbourne and Sydney. Little Simz released her fourth album Sometimes I Might Be Introvert in 2021 to widespread critical acclaim, going on to win the 2022 Mercury Prize and earning her the 2022 Brit Award for Best New Artist. Simz released her fifth album NO THANKYOU in December, we can’t wait to see it live when she hits Australian shores! With quintuple-platinum hit Habits (Stay High) and double-platinum Talking Body, Tove Lo will be performing headline shows in Melbourne and Sydney with support from dreamy 3-piece Blusher! Tove Lo made waves worldwide with her platinum-certified 2014 full-length debut Queen of the Clouds and has collaborated on anthems with Nick Jonas, Flume, Alesso, Coldplay, Martin Garrix, Charli XCX, Sean Paul and more. Get ready as she arrives Australia with her latest single Borderline.

Then catch a dynamic show from multi-platinum selling, chart topping rising star iann dior when he performs in Melbourne and Sydney! dior’s feature on the heavy-hitting 4 x platinum Mood with 24KGoldn reached the Top 10 and remained there for 10 weeks. Early 2022 saw him release album on to better things, which amassed over 180 million streams and received acclaim from NPR, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork and NME. Rainbow Kitten Surprise will also be gracing stages in Sydney and Melbourne, weaving together lyrical poetry, hummable melodies and a rush of instrumental eccentricities. Boasting over 1 billion global streams across platforms, the band have earned widespread praise from Billboard, TIME, Vice and NPR. You may have caught yourself humming along to their tracks It’s Called: Freefall and Cocaine Jesus which recently went viral on TikTok resulting in over 11 million *weekly* streams for the band.

Noah Cyrus’ powerful live performance will stay with you long after her show. The GRAMMY nominated, multiplatinum singer and songwriter will bring her 2022 debut album The Hardest Part to Australia, lighting up stages in Sydney and Melbourne with her pop spirit, folk eloquence and country soul. Cyrus will be supported by her friend and collaborator PJ Harding. Then catch the unique blend of R&B, traditional African music and experimental electronic sounds of multitalented singer-songwriter and violinist Brittney Denise Parks AKA Sudan Archives. What began as a solo endeavor, the Sudan Archives project has expanded to include a full band, praised for its genre-defying sound and socially conscious lyrics with Parks drawing inspiration from her own experiences as a black woman in America. The band has performed at Coachella, Glastonbury and the Hollywood Bowl. Now it’s time for the project to take Sydney and Melbourne!

Then it’s time to see Del Water Gap as he takes over stages in Melbourne and Sydney! Since releasing the Don’t Get Dark EP in 2019, Del Water Gap has put out a series of singles, including Ode to a Conversation Stuck In Your Throat, deemed an “ear-worm track” by Vogue UK. Del Water Gap released his self-titled debut album in 2021, finding critical acclaim across leading publications including NPR, GQ, MTV, and Esquire.
