Then let’s get straight to it – tune into The Sound this Sunday to catch performances by:
- An explosive artist who has commanded attention worldwide selling out shows to record breaking audiences, just this week Tash Sultana was awarded over 1 Billion streams globally – an astounding achievement! Tash’s second album, the highly anticipated Terra Firma, will be released on February 19. The Sound captured one of Tash’s blistering performances this week, filmed in an airplane hangar in VIC’s Avalon Airport
- An absolute behemoth both live and in the studio, Perth’s Pendulum made huge waves globally with epic festival sets after 2005’s Hold Your Colour. Now, after a 10-year wait, the band are back with brand new music – including track ‘Nothing For Free’. Watch them perform it live on military island Spitbank Fort, in the English Channel, filmed for the band’s recent livestream
- We’re calling it: this is the hottest collab out there. On ‘Better Days’, Baker Boy and his good mate Dallas Woods have enlisted the incredible Sampa The Great, for an ultra-smooth number which threads Yolngu Matha, English and Bemba languages together. With our video filmed at VIC’s sacred Hanging Rock and in Botswana, this is one exclusive performance for The Sound you don’t want to miss!
- This week we’re honoured to share a sneak peek of Courtney Barnett’s upcoming global performance, From Where I’m Standing: Live from the Royal Exhibition Building, Melbourne. Tune into The Sound on Sunday to catch her performing track ‘Sunday Roast’. Tickets are on sale now for the full global livestream, which takes place on Thu 17 Dec and will be streamed in five time zones across the world
- With over 51 million global streams so far, two EPs, 2 x ARIA certified Gold singles, and a 2 x Platinum track in ‘Hotel’, Northern NSW singer Kita Alexander returns to the airwaves with her latest song, which she performs on The Sound this week – ‘Can’t Help Myself’. The track was co-penned with producer Dann Hume (Amy Shark, Matt Corby)
- For 18-year-old Budjerah, who grew up listening to the likes of Sam Cooke and The Clark Sisters, making music was an inevitability. Descended from the land of Bundjalung people (near Fingal Head, NSW), his debut single ‘Missing You’ was immediately added to triple j upon release, spending a week as the station’s #1 most played track. Stay tuned for his Matt Corby-produced upcoming debut EP
- Championed by everyone from BBC 6 Music, Beats 1, KEXP, CLASH and Aussie media galore is Tasmania’s best outfit: A. Swayze & The Ghosts. Their wildly anticipated debut album Paid Salvation is out now, and was recorded in Northcote, VIC, with producer Dean Tuza (These New South Whales, Stella Donnelly)

Melbourne Music Week (MMW) has today revealed the hotly anticipated line-up for its extended summer program.
Returning for its 11th year, MMW’s program of free and ticketed events spans three months and, for the first time, features a 100 per cent local line-up of physical and digital events.
More than 330 artists will feature at more than 35 city locations and venues, across more than 200 events and sessions, with more artists and gigs to be announced in January 2021.
Melbourne Music Week–Extended is the first music festival to return to Melbourne, pioneering COVID-safe live music gigs for Victoria.
Supporting the recovery of the local live music industry is at the core of MMW–Extended, and this year’s event is the ticket to re-discovering the best of Melbourne’s live music scene as it returns.
Wominjeka (MMW Welcome) on Opening Night (Wednesday 9 December) will feature a Welcome to Country and City Wide Smoking Ceremony curated by Kee’ahn, including a performance by Aboriginal dance group Dijirri Dijirri and live programming across four city locations, with a show at Section 8 to follow.
The Music Victoria Awards will also take place on the Opening Night at Melbourne Recital Centre (and will be live-streamed) featuring a killer local line-up including Alice Skye, Elizabeth, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever and Simona Castricum.
Headline shows include ascending hip hop star, Baker Boy, at the Melbourne Recital Centre, iconic rock musician Adalita for a commissioned performance on the Grand Organ at Melbourne Town Hall, plus an audio visual exploration with Melbourne producers Ara Koufax and iconic DJ and academic Simona Castricum at the Capitol Theatre.
Fierce, tense post-punk trio, Cable Ties will lead The Forum’s Melbourne Music Week debut, while High Tension, stalwarts of the Melbourne metal scene, bring their blistering power to Max Watts in other headline events.
Melbourne Music Week–Extended is teaming up with some of the city’s favourite live music venues including Colour, Cherry Bar, Curtin, Section 8, Max Watts and more, to deliver Venue Presents featuring an ongoing line-up of gigs with local artists like Blake Scott, Banoffee, Mick Harvey, Private Function and Allysha Joy across the three-month festival.
A line-up of Outdoor Events will also form part of Melbourne Music Week–Extended, kicking off at The Third Day on Saturday 12 December with The Operatives Presents WE ARE 16, featuring Jordan Dennis, FOURA and more for an all-day party.
MMW–Extended Feature events include Techno Bingo (part seated party, part bingo) with a guest appearance from The Huxleys, a Vogue dance workshop with Kiki Dévine, and a new Wellbeing series featuring a Dog Day Afternoon with Henry Wagons (yes, you can bring your dog!) and Tai Chi classes.
The MMW Hub takes a back seat this year to instead focus on supporting Melbourne’s iconic music and cultural venues after months of lockdown, this year’s larger, longer and dispersed program across the summer months, offers greater flexibility for local artists, venues and businesses to be involved.
Melbourne Music Week is delivered by City of Melbourne, and thanks its valued partners for their support, including the Victorian Government, Ticketek, oOh!media, Beat, 3RRR and PBS.
Visit www.melbourne.vic.gov.au/mmw for tickets and to view the #MMW program.
Quotes attributable to City of Melbourne Lord Mayor Sally Capp:
“Live music is a critical part of Melbourne’s nighttime economy and it usually generates $1.7 billion each year for Victoria and supports over 42,000 jobs,” the Lord Mayor said.
Melbourne is the Live Music Capital of the World and the sector was hit hard by COVID-19 so we’re excited to bring music back to the city with a 100 per cent local lineup.
We’re proud to be bringing live music back to your favourite bars, clubs and pubs.
“We’re working closely with venues to make sure we can welcome music fans back safely and keep musicians, promoters, and hospitality workers in jobs.”
Bad Religion celebrates their forty years of making music with Decades; a four-episode online streaming event captured live at The Roxy Theatre in Hollywood, California. The band felt it important to commemorate the conclusion of 2020 as a strange moment in history when they reached that 40-year milestone.
The celebratory episodes will include live performance footage, exclusive interviews, and a peek at their rehearsals leading up to the taping of Decades. Singer & co-songwriter Greg Graffin discussed their motivation, “I can speak for the whole band when I say that we were so disappointed to not be able to tour this year. It is our fans and all those concerts we play each year that provide the life-force of Bad Religion. Decades allows new fans as well as those who were there at the beginning to get a rich overview of our entire career and witness the changes in songwriting and performance styles at each stage of our evolution.“
Bad Religion will participate in an accompanying live chat during the premiere of each episode. Show specific merchandise will be available for sale on the Decades NoCap Shows page.
The ’80s – Bad Religion performs songs from How Could Hell Be Any Worse, Suffer, and No Control. They discuss what it was like being young punks in a world of Pacman, Reaganomics, and Televangelism.
The ’90’s – Bad Religion performs songs from Against The Grain, Generator, Recipe For Hate, Stranger Than Fiction, The Gray Race, and No Substance. This decade cemented their position as one of the most influential and prolific bands of our time, but it didn’t come easy or without cost; the band discusses the growing pains and lessons learned.
The ’00s – Bad Religion performs songs from The New America, The Process of Belief, The Empire Strikes First, and New Maps of Hell. Returning home and charging forward into a new millennium, Bad Religion continued to awe with their prowess, releasing some of their most beloved material to date.
The ’10s – Bad Religion performs songs from The Dissent of Man, True North, and Age Of Unreason. The Covid-19 pandemic cut short their plans to tour in support of The Age Of Unreason and are now performing material never seen live before. The band discusses the gratitude they live with every day looking back on 40 years of being Bad Religion and the legacy they are still actively creating.
No Caps Shows will host Decades; a four-episode package will sell for $40 USD, individual episodes may be purchased for $15 USD. Tickets for Decades on sale now. Episodes will remain up for sale and viewing through the conclusion of the series and available until January 5th.
Decades episodes will premiere at 9:00 AEDT
December 13th: Bad Religion, the ’80s
December 20th : Bad Religion, the ’90s
December 27th: Bad Religion, the ’00s

Eight months since the curtain came down on our last live music event, Penny Drop is proud to be among a group of key Melbourne arts and cultural organisations enlisted to launch the Malthouse Outdoor Stage (MOS), a new COVID-safe venue bringing performance to the courtyard of The Malthouse this summer.
Penny Drop will present two performances a night across 10 nights, from some of our favourite local artists – many of whom will be sharing new music from recently (or soon-to-be) released projects – with eager audiences taking in shows in the courtyard’s new purpose-built amphitheatre.
MOS will open 21 January 2021 with performances from ARIA-winning jazz and soul prodigy Kaiit. From there, the Penny Drop presents Malthouse Outdoor Stage program will showcase the always enthusiastic and high-energy Gordon Koang, euphoric funk craftsmen Mildlife in back-to-back performances, the hypnotic sounds of HTRK, Sweet Whirl‘s tender triumphs, a preview of Sarah Mary Chadwick‘s upcoming record, a stripped-back set from Good Morning, the singular style of Emma Donovan & The Putbacks, an album launch for loveable DIY groovers Surprise Chef, and the bruising punk stylings of RVG.
Later on the MOS program you’ll discover stand-up sets courtesy of Token, discussions lead by The Wheeler Centre and The Saturday Paper, and workshops from Chunky Move and Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA). Additional programming partners include Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Midsumma, YIRRAMBOI and RISING.
It was a long winter in a tough year, and we couldn’t be more excited to kick off 2021 with a bang and celebrate summer with opportunities not just for the artists on stage, but for the behind the scenes music industry, whose unseen work truly makes Melbourne the live music capital of Australia.
Let’s get back to a gig. But first, you need to jump into your group-chat and jot down a shortlist, because each show is ticketed in groups of six.
Join us as we welcome live music back to Melbourne safely, finally.

Australia’s newest music show Music People brings Australia’s live music resurgence to your screens!
Artists from around the country encouraged to be involved in Newcastle-based series
With music and live performance now seeing a resurgence around Australia, artists and creatives are finding new ways to document these special shows as they go down in a variety of unique formats and capacities. And as we head into the summer, new music series Music People is proving to be a great asset to this resurgence.
Curated by four music directors – Ben Steer (Continuous Music), Ben Campbell (Newcastle Music Collective), Emily Wurramara, and Karen Eivers, and made possible thanks to an Industry Response Program Grant from The City of Newcastle, the show not only shines a light on some of the country’s most talented songwriters and performers, but it also puts the focus on Newcastle and its iconic Civic Theatre, a venue that plays host to much of the Music People action and performances.
Produced by Maddie Palmer (RAGE, JTV, The Feed) and Matt Field (Field Frequency), Music People has been conceptualised with the aim of not only spotlighting Newcastle’s idyllic music community, but to bring artists from around the country into the fold as the series continues to grow in 2021. The idea for and execution of Music People has been formulating over the last two years; the initial aim squarely focused on unifying the wider Australian music community however with the onset of COVID and its effects on the industry, the series’ importance now has added weight.
Says Matt of Music People, “We have a hugely supportive music-loving population in Australia that spans all ages, yet we compartmentalise much of our music into the youth market, middle age, boomers, etc. In Australia, we need to break down some of these walls and celebrate the artistry. In the same way Top Gear on the BBC showcases all kinds of vehicles to a wide demographic, Music People celebrates our music diversity with a music-loving nation. I look forward to the day when all artists, from all disciplines have multiple channels available to support their career.”
Featuring performances from a diverse range of artists including William Crighton, Kim Churchill, Emily Wurramara, Melanie Dyer, Little Quirks and Harry James Angus, Music People exists to entertain, uplift and inspire. Driven by a love for the art and also by the opportunity to use the platform to spread messages of inclusivity, awareness and change, Music People arrives at a time where the music industry and broader Australian music community is thriving once more. Coming out the other side of what has been an unpredictable and rough year for many.
“Music People provides a platform for all music to live and breathe in one place. Where country and indie can sit alongside electronic, rap, reggae and soul; new, old and everything in between. Music People is diverse, inclusive, raw and real. It’s a show about music people, made by music people, for music people.” Matt Field, Executive Producer
The City of Newcastle, The Newcastle Herald, The Civic Theatre, Tourism Newcastle and a range of other Newcastle outlets will broadcast the episodes of Music People live, while each showcasing artist will also share from their own channels, making each episode a truly unifying effort.
Music People is broadcast Tuesday nights live from 8pm, with episodes continuing into March 2021!

![Australian folk pop darlings, Pierce Brothers have dropped their new single It’s Alright, a headfirst dive into high energy blues and roots, out today November 27. It’s Alright tells the story of overcoming hardship and solitude to truly appreciate what’s important, and to see the love that surrounds you if you search for it [Listen: IT’S ALRIGHT]. It’s Alright is also accompanied by an affecting music video about finding comfort in an unlikely place [WATCH: IT’S ALRIGHT]. The single preceeds the Pierce Brothers’ highly anticipated sophomore album, Into The Great Unknown set for release on March 5, 2021. Written years apart over two separate time periods, It’s Alright is truly the joining of both sides of the Pierce Brothers. The chorus, penned by Jack Pierce while treking through the mountains of Switzerland in 2018, sat in a drawer unused for the last album until brother Pat took the track and re-worked it, writing all new verses and giving the track a new blues-inspired life. Produced by Jan Skubizeski (John Butler, The Cat Empire), mixed by Phil Threfall (Illy, Ed Sheeran), and mastered by Joe Carra at Crystal Mastering (The Tesky Brothers, The Cat Empire), It’s Alright is the return to energetic folk roots that Pierce Brothers are known for, and will have fans of Nathaniel Rateliff and The Teskey Brothers champing at the bit to hear more. Filmed by Carl Allison (Tones and I) and Jesse Leaman (Leaman Films, Didirri), and shot in Melbourne’s outer eastern regions the day lockdown ended, the video for It’s Alright sees the story of two warring soldiers finding comfort in one another after stumbling upon a Wonderland-inspired teaparty. “We have worked a lot with Carl Allison in the past,“ explains Pat, “he and Jesse pitched us the idea and we just thought it sounded so interesting, weird and delightful. I was a little worried it’d come off too over the top, but I’m stoked at how it turned out, just a really nice story of two people finding comfort somewhere unexpected." Into The Great Unknown was recorded at Jan Skubizeski’s Red Moon Studios in Gisborne from April to June 2020, between the two Victorian lockdowns, with Jack and Pat spending most days recording in the studio and most evenings on site in the guest cottage working on new material. “We’d finish a long day recording a track, then have dinner together, share a bottle of red and either work on the track some more, or we’d retire to the cottage and write until we went to sleep,” explains Jack. “We spent hours discussing and exploring new sounds and experimenting with a secondary recording rig in the cottage, so we could test out new and exciting things before taking them to the studio the next day. This made for some beautifully experimental explorations throughout the album, opitimised by the stunning instrumental track Réflecteur. Pat used his time to mock up strings arrangements and horn ideas that we then took to some incredibly talented people to bring to life!” The strings and horns arrangements, put together by Ross Iwrin (The Cat Empire, Angus and Julia Stone, Passenger) lift the album to a new level, with Pat noting, “The string arrangements realised a whole avenue that we’d always wanted to explore, inspired a lot by Gang Of Youths’ brilliant 2017 album Go Farther In Lightness, and expanded the depth of the album in ways that we’d never tried." Into The Great Unknown is the first 100% independent body of work from Pierce Brothers since they burst onto the scene with 2014’s The Night Tree. “This album almost didn’t happen,” Jack recalls, “We have toured relentlessly for 5 years, and until now, we could only record on select days in between tours. We were at each other’s throats! With pressure to write, and fatigue from the road, it almost broke the band up. The COVID-19 crisis decimated the live music scene and the main aspect of our income, so funding this album independently was a challenge. The time that we had off from touring during lockdown, while difficult, made us laser focussed like never before on the writing process. It has provided us a new roster of tracks that we can’t wait to play live. Whilst it was an unwelcome break in our lives, it helped create the best album we’ve ever written!” Pierce Brothers will be playing their postponed shows throughout the summer with limited capacities due to the COVID-19 restrictions.

The AAM and Warner Music Australia are proud to announce their First Nations Mentorship program for 2020/2021. Commencing in 2014, the program has evolved into a multi-faceted professional development program consisting of peer- to- peer mentorship, essential development workshops and networking opportunities.
This years’ refreshed program has evolved once again, to encompass two different pathways; one for two current First Nations managers at any stage of their career, the second is for one First Nations person interested in artist management. As well as a peer-to-peer mentorship, the program includes a panel of First Nations voices, who will have a frank discussion about sovereignty and the work the greater music industry needs to undertake to ensure that diversity, representation and acknowledgement is safe-guarded into the future. Mentees will also have the opportunity to have one on one time with specialist team members within the Warner Music family.
Panelists for the 2020/2021 panel discussion are Kabi Kabi and Wiradjuri artist and producer Alethea Beetson, rapper, drummer and speaker from Brewarrina Ryan Dobby and 2019/2020 mentee and AAM member Cerisa Grant. The panel will be held on Friday 4th Dec from 10am – 11.30am (AEDT).
As inequality for our First Nations people within the music industry continues to be highlighted, the AAM and Warner Music Australia hope that this program can equip and enable first peoples to take an active and vital role in Artist Management.
