In anticipation of its eighth festival instalment in 2022, Meadow is thrilled to welcome in a new release courtesy of 2022 performing artists Teether and Don Glori, titled ‘Dizzy’. Out just in time for the festival gates to open this afternoon, the single is a cruisey hip hop number that is bound to make a last minute appearance on many a road trip playlist as punters make the scenic trip down to The Otways for Meadow 8.
Carefully considered compositions that facilitate heavy doses of improvisation, Don Glori’s music reflects a deep fascination in jazz, house and Brazilian music, tied together by his inimitable spirit and dedication to making it groove. Teaming up with rapper and avid collaborator, Teether—known for his recent future-focussed project with Kuya Neil, performing in duo form at Meadow this year—‘Dizzy’ is testament to the community spirit that Meadow embodies, and a showcase of the creativity and innovation of Australia’s tight knit music scene.
Released through Chapter Music, the self-produced collaboration was brought to life at Box Hill Institute’s Sing Sing East studios with engineer Tom Iansek (Big Scary, #1 Dads, No Mono), mixed by Lewis Moody and mastered by Corey Kikos.
Meadow prides itself on its inward-looking, outward-thinking localised offerings, with everything from the music, the food and drink stalls, film screenings, tree-planting program and volunteers all hand picked and carefully curated to support and celebrate Australian artists, voices, initiatives and businesses. Do not miss your chance to catch these two powerhouse acts performing live from the Bambra Bowl from Friday 25 – Sunday 27 March alongside Meadow headliners Methyl Ethel, Tropical Fuck Storm, Camp Cope and a stacked all-Australian bill. Final release tickets and glamping tents are now moving quick. Run, don’t walk.

“‘Glimmer’ might be their most radiant release so far – loaded with their signature soulful grooves, intoxicating instrumentation and frontwoman Maddy Herbert’s velvety voice.”
– James Lynch, Trouble Juice
“‘Glimmer’ is a wonder of a track. The musicianship is almost intimidating, from the controlled smokey croon of front woman Maddy Herbert, through to the layers of jazz influences that are crammed under a soulful blanket. The waltz turn-around at the half-way mark is the fairy dust on an already smooth groove. Everything is restrained, within reason, with the listener knowing full well that any one of these musicians could break the stratosphere with a solo, but that’s the kicker. None of them do. They serve the song, and it is so much better for it.” – The Point
Earlier this month, Melbourne based soul outfit Velvet Bloom dropped their steamy heartwarmer ‘Glimmer’ sharing another take from their anticipated debut body of work just around the corner. Now, the enthralling collective are revealing the gorgeous visuals to the new single and EP namesake with a collaborative video accompaniment, showcasing some of Australia’s finest up-and-coming creatives. In celebration of the release, Velvet Bloom are thrilled to announce an upcoming run of Glimmer EP tour dates, hitting the road for six shows up the East Coast next month in the wake of the EP’s release on Friday 8 April via Cousin Will Records.
Co-directed by Velvet Bloom frontwoman Maddy Herbert, bassist Anthony Rennick and multidisciplinary video artist Rhys Newling, the ‘Glimmer’ video features cameos from some familiar faces of the Melbourne music scene including artists, record store owners, DJs and more. The visuals are absolutely stunning, with every aesthetic element from set design to costuming and beyond honing in on the broader artistic community in the same familial spirit that the song itself embodies. Featuring corsets by The Daisy Lane, jacket by Cheeky The Label, and flower arrangements by frontwoman, stylist and creative tour de force Maddy Herbert with support from Tom & Daisy, the video is an all encompassing visual and aural delight and testament to Velvet Bloom’s far reaching artistic excellence.
“We wanted to create something super special for this music video and I had a very specific vision in terms of aesthetics. After speaking to Rennick about the intention of the song and what it meant to me lyrically, the idea for the video came together quite quickly. We wanted to use mirrors to communicate how the people who we have the deepest admiration for are woven into the making of us as individuals. This was also the reason behind the family-portrait style videos of people who have played a huge role in supporting our journey! I love my community and feel extremely blessed to be surrounded by such incredible people. ‘Glimmer’ is an ode to my people.” – Maddy Herbert, Velvet Bloom
The five piece of Maddy Herbert, Alex Marko, Anthony Rennick, Nic Morton and Miguel Hutton will be heading back to the live stage for a run of East Coast shows kicking off this April hitting up Forster, Brisbane, Sydney, Beechworth, Adelaide and Melbourne, with Herbert also playing solo in Canberra. Do not miss your chance to catch this captivating live act on the rise when they roll into a town near you.

GREEN IS THE NEW BLACK
A Documentary About the Music Industry and the Environment
greenisthenewblack.film
Conceived during the catastrophic bush fires of early 2020, filmed during the global pandemic and released as unprecedented floods have devastated the East coast of Australia, Green Is The New Black holds a mirror up to the music industry and its relationship to the environment.
PLAY/WATCH
Green Is The New Black chronicles the making of In Hearts Wake’s 100% carbon offset 2020 album Kaliyuga and their journey to become a certified Carbon Neutral Organisation but it’s more than a film about one band and one album. As In Hearts Wake examine their processes and search for more environmentally sustainable options, inspiring new possibilities for an entire industry begin to emerge.
Through conversations with creatives, experts and professionals including Damon Gameau (2040, That Sugar Film), Tamara Smith (Greens Member for Parliament), AY Young (United Nations Young Leader), Jessica Ducrou (Splendour in the Grass Festival Co-founder), Heidi Lennfer (FEAT Artists) and Luke Logemann (UNFD Records), In Hearts Wake uncover unsettling truths, face human adversity and discover inspiring solutions for a new earth-aligned way forward.
Green Is The New Black will screen at Bangalow Film Festival on April 12, with 100% of ticket sales to be donated to local charities directly assisting the Northern Rivers flood recovery.
Kicking off in Earth Week, Green Is The New Black will then screen at Palace Cinemas around Australia as well as special screenings in Los Angeles, Toronto and London.

LIFELINE will provide tailored face to face and digital psychological first aid for affected communities including counselling, information resources for individuals, crisis helplines and Lifeline text. These services are being specifically created for these communities and for this situation.
Lifeline CEO Colin Seery said that the organisation’s staff and volunteers have been working on the ground tirelessly to support local people.
“Lifeline is at the very heart of the communities that have been hardest hit so we have a clear picture of just how devastating these floods have been for individuals and families.”
“The funds raised from the Secret Sounds initiatives will enable us to continue to extend and tailor Lifeline services and to help communities reach a point where they regain sustainability and resilience.”
GIVIT is a national donation platform managing donations of items, services and funds for people impacted by floods across parts of Queensland and New South Wales. GIVIT works directly with councils, outreach teams, charities and community groups in impacted areas to identify exactly what’s needed to make sure people get what they need, when they need it.
The local newspaper of the Bundjalung region, KOORI MAIL is wholly owned by five Bundjalung Aboriginal community organisations. These regions have been severely flood impacted and fundraising will directly support these communities.
The well-established Byron Community Centre has partnered with regional philanthropic body, NORTHERN RIVERS COMMUNITY FOUNDATION, to support a community led flood recovery. Funds will be distributed to grass roots community organisations throughout the Northern Rivers Region, getting help to communities when and where they need it.
It is impossible to overstate the impact of the flooding that hit Northern NSW and Southeast QLD a fortnight ago. All previous records were smashed by metres. Roads and bridges were washed away. Schools were destroyed. Thousands of homes were inundated, with water levels in Lismore exceeding a previously unfathomable 14 metres. Residents climbed into ceiling cavities to escape the floodwaters or onto rooftops in hope of being rescued by civilians in tinnies.
Huge landslides moved houses down mountains in the hills behind Mullumbimby, and now scar the Northern NSW hinterland. Heroic community members trekked through the bush, across raging torrents and waist high mud to rescue the isolated and injured. They carried in generators, fuel, supplies, even a satellite dish and radios and they encountered scenes that no civilian volunteer should ever have to witness.
Further south in Woodburn and Coraki the floodwater has only just subsided and a massive clean-up effort is underway in that devastated region.
Thousands of homes are now uninhabitable. The families who lived in them are facing an uncertain future. Northern NSW was already facing a housing crisis and the situation is now critical. Many have also lost their businesses or income for the foreseeable future.
Whether directly affected by flooding or volunteering for rescue and clean up, this disaster has been traumatic for the entire community and has taken a huge emotional toll on everyone in its path.
You support, to help raise as much money as possible for devastated communities, is much appreciated!

Everything Is Dangerous But Nothing’s Surprising is teeming with yelps, yowls, screams, growls, whimpers, whispers, chants, deadpan delivery, laconic one-liners and elongated ‘ahs’ that sound like a demonic girls choir. The guitars are similarly liberatory, surging and spasming to new inventive heights. ‘Buoyancy‘ follows the feisty ‘Sex & Rage‘, lauded by Rolling Stone, Frankie, NME, Clash, DIY, Dork, The Line Of Best Fit, Double J and across community radio stations FBi Radio, RTR FM, SYN, 2SER, and others.
In the wake of back-to-back tours and releases, Sophie McComish, Annabel Blackman, Cecil Coleman, and Georgia Wilkinson-Derums regrouped in early 2020, to record their debut album eight days – shortly before they would become separated by the pandemic. Recorded and mastered by Jonathan Boulet, and entirely self-funded, the album is exultant, effusive, playful, cutting, and maybe most significantly, incandescent in its fury. Following their recent appearance alongside King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard at the Enmore Theatre, you can experience Everything Is Dangerous But Nothing’s Surprising now as Body Type tour across so-called Australia. Tickets are on sale now, see all tour dates + purchase info BELOW.

DMA’S kick off their first AU tour in three years in a fortnight & today reveal special guests
Sydney and Brisbane sold out; Fremantle show postponed
210+ million streams and counting; thousands of international arena tickets sold. A Top 10 UK chart debut with THE GLOW. Five x 2021 ARIA nominations. Just announced as a finalist in 2022’s Vanda & Young Global Songwriting Competition. The accolades for all conquering Sydney trio DMA’S keep on coming!
With their Sydney and Brisbane shows sold out and Melbourne and Adelaide not far behind, DMA’S will finally kick off their hotly anticipated Australian tour in just two weeks’ time… their first headline AU tour in three long years!
Announced earlier this week on the line-up to 2022’s Reading and Leeds, these will be DMA’S biggest Aussie shows to date, packed full of crowd favourites like ‘Delete’, ‘Silver’, ‘The End’, ‘Step Up The Morphine’ and more. It’s been a long wait for fans of the ‘Junk Truck Head’ trio, who’ve carved themselves an enviable career as one of Australia’s biggest selling live acts.
WA show update: Unfortunately, due to changes to density limits and restrictions regarding live music venues in WA, DMA’S show at Fremantle Arts Centre on Sunday 3 April is postponed. Fans should hold onto their tickets, as they’ll be valid for a new date (set to be revealed soon). Ticketholders will be sent information direct via ticketing agency Oztix, be sure to follow the Perth Facebook event for show updates.
Announced today and joining DMA’S on tour as special guests are:
Adelaide opener is SA’s Wedding Motel. Blending eerie-sad-disco with dystopian-folk motifs, Wedding Motel recently made their live debut supporting punkers Pist Idiots and draw from a wide range of influence: think “Martin Newell associated bands of the 70’s and 80’s (Stray Trolleys/Cleaners From Venus), Leonard Cohen’s Death of a Ladies Man and the sardonic mumblings of David Berman”. Kinked pop songs smothered in a hangover.
Sydney and Melbourne: Hayley Mary transitioned from frontwoman of The Jezabels to fully fledged solo artist in 2020, via killer singles such as ‘The Piss, The Perfume’, the anthemic ‘Like A Woman Should’, and triple j regular ‘Would You Throw A Diamond?’. Mary’s most recent release is her third solo EP, Fall In Love, co-recorded with DMA’S’ Johnny Took.
In Brisbane, DMA’S will be joined by special guest THE RIOT. The radical trio launched back in 2020 via their thunderous debut ‘Dog In The Shade’, which featured the talents of Matt Corby and Alex Henriksson. Unburdened by genre, THE RIOT are here to disrupt prescriptive notions of genre in a stale music ecosystem.
One thing is for certain: DMA’S put on one hell of a show. With remaining show tickets almost gone, grab them before they all go!

The most anticipated accessible gig on the local calendar, Groove Tunes just got a whole lot tastier with the arrival of new headliner, Keli Holiday of Peking Duk. Announced last month and taking place this Saturday 19 March at coveted Richmond venue The Corner, Groove Tunes will present a fun and accessible night of entertainment, highlighting the creativity and inclusivity of the disability community, while also creating awareness to excel standards of accessibility in the music industry and beyond. Accessibility consultancy, Tibi Access—the incredible team of disability advocates behind the Groove Tunes project—are beyond excited to welcome Keli Holiday and his shimmering, ethereal and uplifting dance music to the fold in what is sure to be a night to remember.
From the mind of a man living off of nothing but New Order records, beer, sleepless nights and the sheer excitement and love of exploring an unknown city named New York, Keli Holiday is the solo project of Adam Hyde (one half of multi ARIA award winning, 10x platinum selling Australian eclectic electronic duo Peking Duk). In the wake of Peking Duk’s non-stop, two month North American tour, Hyde was told he had time for a holiday when he got home but instead of flying to a beach somewhere he decided to use an old guitar he had sitting in his bedroom to create something special. He sheepishly showed his best friend Thomas Stell aka Golden Features the 12 tracks he’d penned in four weeks, before Tom shared the project with Adam’s longtime idol that he’d never met—KIM from the iconic duo The Presets. KIM and Adam soon tightened up the dusty recordings and made it shine. Two years later and the marriage of longing for that holiday he’ll never get back mixed with the strumming of that dusty old guitar birthed the love child that is Keli Holiday.
Keli Holiday joins previously announced acts Matilda Pearl, Saint Ergo, Edward Roussac and Irene Zhong, rounding out an absolutely killer bill of local acts with more than half the lineup made up of artists living with disability. Tibi Access’ mission to bring the joy of live music to the disability community, while also increasing awareness of the need for events and venues to be more accessible is the driving force behind this weekend’s Groove Tunes event. Through a survey Tibi conducted in 2018, people living with a disability expressed their love of attending live music events, however the fear and lack of access stopped them from going. As an accessible gig, Groove Tunes will provide support services such as Auslan interpreters, printed braille tickets, in-venue access ramps and lowered bar access, accessible signage, a sensory zone and sensory packs, on-stage lyric videos, as well develop an accessible website and keep ticket prices low for the music industry and disability community alike—allowing access to people of all abilities to not only attend, but have a fun, safe and memorable experience.
Do not miss your chance to catch Keli Holiday in his first live show of the year at one of Melbourne’s most cherished accessible venues alongside some favourite artists you haven’t yet discovered at Groove Tunes this Saturday night. Final release tickets moving quick sticks, with free entry for companion card holders. Can’t make it on Saturday?

Still buzzing from a run of sold out headline shows, King Stingray are determined to keep the vibes high with a brand new single, Camp Dog.
The band’s fourth single is an endearing tribute to the cheeky canines that patrol the streets of Yirrkala, the town in North East Arnhem Land that King Stingray grew up in.
“The community camp dogs act like the boss of the streets” explains guitarist Roy Kellaway. “Kids often have to walk the long way home to avoid them. But it’s not about fear. It’s about our adoration of the character and personality of the community dogs and their funny traits. Flea-ridden, cane toad-lickin’, fish carcass-eating camp dogs. We love them, and this is a story of our life with them.”
Camp Dog follows on from bona fide hits Milkumana and Get Me Out which both made their way into triple j’s Hottest 100 at number 56 and 46 respectively.
Maintaining their mammoth momentum, King Stingray have been hand-picked to support Midnight Oil in Sydney and Cairns, and invited to join several dates on the massive Ball Park Music tour throughout June and July. Expect incredible performances at Yours & Owls, Strawberry Fields, Parrtjima and Splendour In The Grass, too.
With the band now pulling into international focus via their nomination for NME’s Best New Band In The World, 2022 truly is shaping up to be the Year of King Stingray!
