SUPPORT FOR ‘SUNSHINE SOMETIME’
“A sweet, seductive love song for all.”
Atwood Magazine (USA)
“Cut from an authentic paisley-print cloth, The Good Love dish out this ’60s psych-pop track with harmonies and starry-eyed vibes for days.” – ★★★★
Dave Ruby Howe – triple j Unearthed (AUS)
“Oh yes I very much want to pick daisies and lay lazy in the sunshine to this.” – ★★★★
Imogen Hanrahan – triple j Unearthed (AUS)
NSW-based rock quintet The Good Love have just revealed their dreamy new single ‘Sunshine Sometime’ – produced by Jack Nigro (Pacific Avenue, The Terrys, TOTTY).
‘Sunshine Sometime’ is a moseying, ‘60’s inspired gem filled with bright tremolo guitars, groove-laden bass and playful piano that set a beguiling bedrock for enchanting vocal harmonies to soar. The track builds elegantly with deft dynamics, led by lead singer Leroy Ashford-Meehan and his earnest delivery, capping off a delightful ride through dreamlike steez.
The band talks about the inspiration behind ‘Sunshine Sometime’:
“’Sunshine Sometime’ is about the longing for someone who cannot be described more than a beam of sunshine. It was inspired by a visit to Manning’s Great Aunt Margaret in Melbourne. The song reflects on a wholesome morning with a lovely individual, telling jokes and stories and sipping tea. In this respect, we all wish to have someone like Margaret, who can shine sunshine onto others. So raise your teacup/glass/whatever and tell someone you love them.”
The band will embark on a tour across New South Wales, including stops at Sydney, Milton, Thirroul, Wamberal and Kiama, to coincide with the release. This continues on from multiple sold-out headline shows and a national tour with Pacific Avenue.
Taking cues from luminaries The Beach Boys, The Rolling Stones and The Beatles, The Good Love effortlessly brings the nostalgic sounds of 60s pop-rock into a contemporary setting. While the members are spread across New South Wales locations Byron Bay, Yamba and the Central Coast, they come together to create an infectious sonic footprint of effervescent tunes full of dancing and singalongs. The band mentions, “just the fact that we all live so far away from each other but come together for shows recording and practice is pretty unique, I think.”
‘Sunshine Sometime’ is available worldwide now

Message your best festival mates and prepare to party your way into 2023, camping at Pennyroyal Plains VIC or North Byron Parklands NSW, or cityside at Fremantle Park WA when Falls returns with a lineup that includes some of the biggest acts on the planet right now alongside a host of festival favourites and exciting stars of the future across three main stages.
Falls’ El Capitan Stage, showcasing global headline artists across hip hop, indie, rock and pop, is where this Summer’s major music moments are set to play out! Sugarloaf Resort, with high end production and custom structures, is Australia’s new home for the very best in global electronic artists. And the Futures Stage is where you’ll find cutting edge acts, showcasing the future of music.
Lil Nas X released the culture-shifting 4x Platinum hit ‘MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)’ in March 2021, the queer anthem debuting at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The single features on his GRAMMY-nominated, certified Platinum debut album Montero which was released last September and landed spots on “Best Of 2021” lists across the globe. The album also boasts back-to-back Top 40 #1s with ‘Industry Baby’ featuring Jack Harlow and ‘That’s What I Want’. The 23-year-old rapper, singer and songwriter rose to fame with his 2019 mega hit ‘Old Town Road’, which simultaneously upended the music industry and shattered genre norms. The 16 x Platinum remix with Billy Ray Cyrus became the longest running #1 single in Billboard Hot 100 history, earning Lil Nas X 2 Grammys. Multiplatinum hits ‘Panini’, ‘Rodeo’ and ‘HOLIDAY’
Forward-thinking beatmaker and producer, Jamie xx helped shape the sound of the late 2000s and beyond with his Mercury Music Prize-winning group the xx and solo work. He released debut single ‘Far Nearer/Beat For’ in 2011. Further singles ‘Girl/Sleep Sound’, ‘All Under One Roof Raving’, ‘Loud Places’, and ‘Gosh’ followed, the latter two appearing on his debut album as a solo artist, 2015’s In Colour, which received nominations for a Best Dance/Electronic Album Grammy, the Mercury Prize and Album of the Year at the Brit Awards. Jamie released ‘Idontknow’ in 2020, boasting a faster-pace and more aggressive sound than his In Colour era. He returned in April this year with the festival ready anthem, ‘LET’S DO IT AGAIN’, released alongside his massive set at Coachella. Get ready to move when Jamie xx plays Falls 2022/2023!
Few artists have made an impact like South Korean born DJ and producer Peggy Gou. Inspired by the glory years of London club Plastic People, her natural feel for house and techno’s legacy led to a run of international hits; ‘Gou Talk’, ‘It Makes You Forget (Itgehane)’, ‘Starry Night’ and ‘Jigoo’. These iconic tracks with their playful, unmistakable MPC rhythms and irresistible melodies have seen her tour the world’s leading clubs and festivals, from Glastonbury to Dekmantel, De School to Printworks and now Peggy Gou will be the very first artist to headline Falls’ new Sugarloaf Resort.
This year Falls will make its debut in fresh locations in Victoria and Western Australia, and with this change comes lush new options for music lovers that like to live large…

“like the love child of The Ramones and Supergrass.” – Arun Kendall, Backseat Mafia
Melbourne raconteurs The Grogans return in all their laconic glory on their all out audio visual psych trip ‘Inside My Mind’. Filling the big shoes of the trio’s recent success with their 7’’ double A-side singles ‘Just A Kid’ and ‘Be Your Man’—collectively added to Spotify’s New Music Friday AU & NZ, Fresh Finds AU & NZ and Local Noise playlists—‘Inside My Mind’ continues The Grogans’ prolifically inventive and pigeonhole-defying style in a bluesy psych trip of epic proportions. To celebrate the release, Quin, Gus and Jordy, are thrilled to announce an upcoming Australia New Zealand tour this winter, heading to Tasmania, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Byron Bay, Christchurch, Auckland and Wellington.
Out today via Cousin Will Records in tandem with a kaleidoscopic new video accompaniment, ‘Inside My Mind’ navigates perceived misconceptions and irrational thoughts in a woozy fuzz fest of swampy blues and surf psych. The song’s lucrative reverberations and hazy delay are exemplified by the Jackson Hayat directed clip with glistening colourful visuals by Nathaniel Stewart in a fever dream feast for the senses. Be sure to join the band tonight at 6pm AEST as they go live on their Youtube to join their fans in the video’s official release.
“The concept behind Inside My Mind’s music video was to create a set that made it look almost as if we were performing inside our own heads. The installation + projections build on this concept further, as when each of us are playing on our own within the installation, it is as if our minds are clogged up with our own thoughts (in this case, colours). These shots are then mixed in with the shots of the three of us all playing together, those shots are a lot less dense, with the colours / projections working together to create beautiful visuals without much at all getting in the way.” – The Grogans
nside my mind is a track that has been around for years. I believe it was written sometime between 2016/2017. This song is based on that anxious feeling you might get from making up irrational things in your head but understanding they are just fake perceptions you’ve created. The whole song (lyrically and sonically) is a different feel for this album following the last two singles, but our albums tend to normally dip into a few different genres, reflecting the three of our different influences.” – The Grogans
Having just completed a massive sold out Australian tour with Hockey Dad, as well as performing at Sailor Jerry’s Road to Rolling Stone concert alongside Eliza & The Delusionals and The Terrys, The Grogans are in fine form and raring to go for their biggest tour to date kicking off this June across three months at major cities across Australia and New Zealand. Do not miss your chance to catch this rising chameleon act as they perform songs from their expansive surf, punk, blues and reggae catalog this winter.

‘Inside My Mind’ Lyrics
I should have been lonely, according to all the facts.
I should have felt something, I felt it inside my chest.
Must have been a thing inside my mind because I can’t seem to find it ‘round here.
Must have been a thing inside my past because I can’t seem to find it ‘round here.
And I thought I was upset, from all the things you did to me.
I realised something, all the things were in my head.
Must have been a thing inside my mind because I can’t seem to find it ‘round here.
Must have been a thing inside my past because I can’t seem to find it ‘round here.
It’s in my head, It’s screwing up my head.
I hoped for peace of mind instead.
Must have been a thing inside my mind because I can’t seem to find it ‘round here.
Must have been a thing inside my past because I can’t seem to find it ‘round here.

Thank you for supporting PBS.
Frontier Touring are delighted to welcome one of the hottest rising names in American music, Teddy Swims, to Australia and New Zealand for the very first time in September 2022 – the Atlanta, Georgia singer is set to perform four special headline shows in Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney and Auckland with his electric live band, Freak Freely.
‘There is no doubt in my mind that Swims will emerge as one of the most important voices of this decade and beyond.’ – The Hype Magazine
‘Artist You Need To Know’ – Rolling Stone
‘Outrageously talented’ – James Cordon
Famous for his rich baritone, plentiful tattoos, and genre-crossing chameleon sound, Teddy (real name Jaten Dimsdale) has a following of millions, the singer just wrapping a sold-out, 33-date US tour this week, with a 20-date European leg this month. The numbers speak for themselves: 450 million+ streams globally, over 400 million YouTube views, fans spread right across the globe. Teddy Swims’ sound defies categorisation, but it sure puts a smile on your face: from soul to funk, gospel to country to R&B, it all comes back to that incredible voice. You can hear it on his just-released, retro Motown-vibed new single ‘dose’, or the viral hit ‘911’, the epic ‘Bed On Fire’ (viewed over 30 million times on TikTok), his country crossover hit ‘Broke’ (ft. Grammy nominated superstar Thomas Rhett), tracks such as ‘Love For A Minute’, and many more.
In the US, major TV hosts Ellen DeGeneres (watch here), James Corden (here) and Stephen Colbert (here) have showcased his talents, while the 29-year-old also counts famous names such as will.i.am, Nelly, Tim McGraw and Shania Twain as fans. Teddy’s 2020 cover of Twain’s ‘Still The One’ alone has earned a staggering 84 million views.
The grandson of a Pentecostal preacher, Teddy grew up inspired by Al Green and playing football, performing in metal, punk, and hip-hop outfits as a teen. In 2019 while living in Texas, encouraged by his father he started posting covers on YouTube. From Marvin Gaye, The Weeknd, Amy Winehouse, Billie Eilish and more, they were soon watched by millions, Swims’ later signing to Warner Music in 2020. 2021’s Tough Love EP immediately landed him on playlists, including Spotify’s New Music Friday, Retro Pop and Just Good Music, Amazon’s Platinum Pop and Fresh Pop, plus highlights on Tidal, Apple Music, and Pandora.
Today, Swims’ fast-rising trajectory is a result of his glorious energy, unbeatable hooks and spirit – watch him talk music and life in a recent chat with Heavily Inked here. Guaranteed to have you dancing, this is one live performance music lovers won’t soon forget!
With a cracking live band behind him and Teddy’s soaring voice, these special theatre shows are just the beginning of what’s to come down under… don’t miss Teddy Swims, performing live on stage this September!

With the release of single ‘tell ur friends’ bringing Perth’s Dulcie back to the fore for 2022, the trio have wasted no time in serving up their next dose of indie-pop goodness, this time in the dynamic ‘Nothing Left’.
A track that has allowed the group to delve further into the emotive and elevated songwriting, exploring new themes and sounds, ‘Nothing Left’ is delivered with confidence and a sense of self-assuredness that Dulcie have been winning crowds nationwide with during their recent tour with Ocean Alley; their largest performance run to date, with 40,000+ tickets sold.
Pulsating synths and percussion match beautifully with Dulcie’s harmonies, as lyrics detail the breakdown of a relationship and the inevitability of a situation that simply isn’t working.
“‘Nothing Left’ is about acknowledging the breakdown of a relationship. It’s the decision that it’s easier to walk away than to try to make things work. We’ve taken a pop direction with this new track, incorporating lots of new sounds and ideas.”
DULCIE
As a follow up to ‘tell ur friends’, ‘Nothing Left’ offers an interesting change of pace and brings Dulcie into different emotional territory. ‘tell ur friends’, with its sass and feisty attitude, weaves expertly with the reflective and realism of ‘Nothing Left’.
It is a touchstone of Dulcie’s development as songwriters and performers, while their dynamic as performers has only strengthened in recent years, culminating with a stunning final product.
The release of ‘tell ur friends’ repositioned Dulcie on the national radar; the single earning the group triple j rotation, editorial praise from outlets including NME Australia, Music Feeds, AAA Backstage and AMNplify, and heavy community radio and DSP support from both Apple Music and Spotify (14 playlists alone). Dulcie’s growth has been exponential since signing to WA-based artist agency Wear Your Hat (Psychedelic Porn Crumpets), knocking off over 10,000 streams monthly and elevating the trio to new heights.
Throughout April, they have been continuing to bring their sounds to life out on the East Coast, hitting Sydney and Melbourne before returning home to prepare for a long-awaited headline date at Perth’s Rosemount Hotel. Dulcie will also be returning to stages throughout regional Western Australia in May, supporting Amy Shark on her largely sold out regional tour of WA (a run that has sold over 8,000 tickets to date).
PRAISE FOR DULCIE
“New year, new Dulcie and a new spin on their empathetic songwriting that so clearly captures familiar heartbreaks.”
Triple J Unearthed, Dave Ruby Howe (‘tell ur friends’, 2022)
“I really dug their former organic ensemble sound, but DAMN if they don’t absolutely nail this pop thang!”
Triple J, Al Newstead (‘tell ur friends’, 2022)
“…infectiously sassy, uplifting, and shows perfectly just how the group have evolved these past few years.”
Backseat Mafia (‘tell ur friends’, 2022)
“Expanding on their indie-pop sonic realm, the trios latest offering brings their signature bewitching harmonies and vivid storytelling lyricism.”
Milky Milky Milky (‘tell ur friends’, 2022
“With melodies to rival Taylor Swift, Perth four-piece Dulcie have crafted a gorgeous, tight-knit collection of indie-pop magic with their debut EP, Sake of Sound. It’s sublime, delicate and towering music.”

The result is a furious mashup of hyperactivity, born from Nerdie and pokari.sweat’s genre-bending production, helmed by rako, goyo and DALI HART’s gritty flows, juxtaposed again with Nerdie’s lazily-sung hooks. Trolling through abrasive bounce on ‘Shake It‘ to chopped and screwed on ‘Come On‘, drum and bass nods in ‘Woah Damn‘ and ‘No Talk ft. Agung Mango‘, boom bap on ‘Undercover‘, ‘Ralph‘s spaced out breakbeat and EBM sub-heavy ‘Payphone ft. Raj Mahal‘ or the gentle afrobeat of ‘Worldwide‘ – the sound of 1300 can be neither pigeonholed nor defined in simple stylistic terms.
What guides 1300 is their strength as a collective, concentrating each of their artistic visions and personalities into one seamless whole. Lyrically bound by the pursuit of feeling, each rapper flirts with the production, the syllabic shape of their words shifting from breathless to animated through autotune and back again. Through their production, inspired by Super Smash Bros to The Fast and Furious, Wreck-It Ralph, Far East Movement’s ‘Like A G6’ and BLACKPINK, 1300 prove nothing is off-limits.
Since their debut release in 2021, ‘Brr‘, 1300 have continued to ascend, culminating in their breakthrough release ‘No Caller ID‘. Praised by tastemakers including Acclaim, Purple Sneakers, AUD$ and Korean rappers Palo alto and Lil Boi, it was ‘Smashmouth‘ that took the group to fever across triple j, Feature Artist on Unearthed and praise from Rolling Stone, NME, Sniffers and more. Following a remix of Payday and Danny Brown‘s ‘Vampire‘ and their riotous, live show, 1300 have since supported stages with Genesis Owusu, PNAU, Shady Nasty and more, plus festivals including Beyond The Valley, Field Day, Wildlands Festival and soon, a sold-out appearance at VIVID LIVE and Splendour In The Grass.
This year they continue to conquer with ‘Oldboy‘ and ‘Rocksta‘, securing fans in triple j with their debut Like A Version performance covering Psy’s ‘Gangnam Style’, acclaim from Complex Australia, VICE, Pedestrian, Junkee, Red Bull Music, Sydney Morning Herald, RAGE, MTV, The Music, Music Feeds, and community radio play nationally, including FBi, SYN, RTR FM and more. Today, the self-proclaimed boys from outer space arrive with the release of Foreign Language. Over thirteen tracks, rappers rako, goyo, DALI HART and producers Nerdie and pokari.sweat, rewrite the rulebook with their explosive Korean-English raps. Each song is as unpredictable as the next and uniquely, 1300.
Foreign Langauge is out now, buy/stream it here.

We are happy to also announce today that joining the tour line-up are special guests Greatest Hits, who will open for Ladyhawke in Brisbane, Molly Millington in Sydney, and Queen P, supporting in Melbourne.
“It’s been five years since I‘ve been able to tour internationally – five years of pent-up energy that I am so excited to bring to the stage in Australia in November! Super stoked to have Queen P, Molly Millington and Greatest Hits join me on this fun run. A massive thank you to Frontier Touring for all their hard work and dedication in re-scheduling and pulling these shows together. And to the patient and dedicated fans who have been holding on to their tickets – I see you and cannot wait to sing with you in November.” – Ladyhawke

November 2022 rescheduled tour dates (increased capacities):
Tue 8 Nov – The Triffid, Brisbane QLD (prev. Fri 25 Feb)
Wed 9 Nov – Factory Theatre, Sydney NSW (prev. Tue 1 Mar & Wed 2 Mar)
Sun 13 Nov – Corner Hotel, Melbourne VIC (prev. Tue 8 Mar, Wed 9 Mar & Thu 10 Mar)
Ladyhawke will be touring in celebration of her latest album Time Flies [BMG], which was released in November 2021 and described as ‘her best album yet’ by Music OMH. Our first taste of Time Flies came in the form of singles ‘Mixed Emotions’, penned with Jono Sloan and Nick Littlemore (both of PNAU, Empire of the Sun), lead album single ‘Guilty Love’ featuring BROODS, which has amassed 1.39m+ streams, and latest single ‘My Love’, which was written in collaboration with Josh Fountain, one of Australia’s most in-demand music producers.
Joining Ladyhawke at Brisbane’s The Triffid on Tuesday 8 November will be Greatest Hits, a project of artist Ryan Cooper and a collective of his friends from around the globe. The group, whose debut single in the UK received BBC Radio 1 play, have toured extensively with the bands Hollow Coves, and Halfnoise (Zac Farro of Paramore). Greatest Hits sees Ryan step forward as writer-producer. The ‘Phil, Slow It Down’ and ‘Trying’ group blend 70’s groove, sunshine pop, and neo-psych, with lyrical sarcasm whilst tackling themes of failure, identity and growing up.
Opening for the Sydney legs of the Time Flies tour will be self-proclaimed ‘possessed pop’ singer Molly Millington. Compared with the likes of Olivia Rodrigo and Melanie Martinez the ‘Ring Master’ singer sprinkles her lyrics with sentimentality, coloured by vibrant soundscapes and edgy undertones. Molly’s newest single ‘October’ was released in October and has already amassed more than 92.7k+ streams to date, peaked at number #4 on the Shazam Discovery Chart, landed triple j spot rotation and featured in triple j’s New Music Hitlist playlist.
Helping to close out the tour is South Sudanese Australian rapper and poet Queen P (aka Piath Mathiang) who will be opening the Melbourne show on Sunday 13 November. Blurring the lines between hip hop, pop, RnB and electronic, P released her first mixtape Bring Black Back in 2018. Her darting flow and impenetrable rhymes elevated her from the underground to the forefront, supporting the likes of Masta Ace (USA), Billy Davis & The Good Lords, and Cool Out Sun, as well as landing festival slots at Strawberry Fields, Groovin The Moo, The Australian Open, St. Kilda Festival (Main Stage) and Bigsound. Queen P has gone on to receive a National Live Music Award nomination in 2019 and featured on the latest single from Holy Holy titled ‘Port Rd’, which heralded the #1 song in rotation on triple j and reached 1 million Spotify streams.
