Parx-e - A Compilation of Independent Music

I love a good compilation album. The problem is, there aren’t a lot of those around. Sure you can buy those mindless discs of the latest Top 40 music, but aren’t we all sick of those songs anyway? Then there are those discs which fit a theme, but tend to have all the same songs [...]

“It is not your traditional radio in how a receiver goes but it is programmed as a commercial radio station would be,” Stripe’s Matt Whittemore explained [...]

Who The Hell Are Pomomofo?

These motley chaps are Pomomofo, a Sydney band destined for great things.
The lads rose to fame after winning the Jim Beam state campus band competition in 2006. They played that year’s Good Vibrations Festival and scored high profile slots supporting The Presets, Midnight Juggernauts, and Sneaky Sound System.

Cyndi Lauper Does the 80s on Australian Idol!

I have not been more excited about an episode of Australian Idol in its history. Two words for you: Cyndi Lauper. To have one of my idols mentoring these talented youngsters and sitting in on the judging panel was a real treat. I’m also a massive fan of the 1980s, so I was pumped. But [...]

I’ll Be Back, Says Natalie Gauci

Natalie Gauci has launched off suggestions she’s a failed Idol, insisting she’s working hard to produce an album she’s happy with before she unleashes it on the public.
“I don’t want to release something just for the sake of it. Idol did change my life but you’ve got to take perspective. My album is going to [...]
