Teenager, Wolfmother & Death From Above
Posted: July 29, 2004 Filed under: BLOG | Tags: death from above, music, sydney music scene, teenager, wolfmother Comments Off@ the hoey: I bet the Hoey isn’t usually this packed on a Wednesday night. I think half of the crowd were there to see Sydney trio Wolfmother. I hadn’t heard their stuff, but I knew they were modular’s latest signing, and seeing as it’s my favourite label at the moment, I trusted their judgment. And they didn’t let me down turning out a pretty explosive set.
Meanwhile, the other half of the crowd were there to see Canadian headliner Death From Above, who sure know how to make a lot of chaotic sound from just two dudes. Crazy, fucked up use of the synth.
Teenager were, like their name suggests, petulant, spoilt, dramatic – ace!

Mash ups
Posted: July 14, 2004 Filed under: BLOG | Tags: Dsico, sydney music scene Comments OffDsico, Sydney King of Mash ups, tell us that they’re dead. I still say his stuff is fun. As is Ajax and Bang Gang crew’s stuff. Although mash ups have a short playlist life, it doesn’t take away from the face that they’re fun and easy to consume.
Go check some of his downloads: Dsico. I just listened to his version of Kelis which was quite quite silly in an enjoyable kind of way.
Hack
Posted: July 8, 2004 Filed under: BLOG | Tags: hack, radio, triple j Comments OffI still don’t agree with a lot of the music programming on Triplej (too much rock, too much safety) but I will give a big thumbs up to their turn of social and political consciousness, spoken through Today Today but more effectively with Hack, Steve Cannane’s weekdays half an hour current affairs program at 5.30pm. Treated in an interesting, thought provoking way, Hack proves that the youth can still connect to a range of meaningful issues.
