The War On Drugs - Red Eyes

Taken from the new album 'Grassed Inn', Blank Realm unleash the triumphant transition of their nascent fluorescent rock'n'roll glow in to full-blown spiky pop craft. Harking back to the halcyon days of Talking Heads, underpinned by the off-kilter psychedelic blues of Royal Trux. Like Dylan mixing it with Suicide on Highway 61 and a half in a far off universe.

Blank Realm:

Some are already calling 2014 ‘the year of Blank Realm’ and why not? They’ve received glowingly positive reviews for their new record, Grassed Inn, from the likes of Pitchfork; Mojo; The Wire and The Guardian.

The Brisbane quartet are taking their psychedelic slacker-rock worldwide and all good plans have to start somewhere so they started last week at The Underdog in Brisbane. The live recording team were there for an album launch full of drunken revelry, a celebration of all things realm. The crowd were dancing all around the racket, at one point one lucky punter found themselves clinging to the lighting rig for dear life.

Supports on the night were local garage-pop brats Thigh Master, frown-rockers Sewers, Sydney’s electro/experimental heroine Lucy Cliché and living-room rave band Four Door.

Live @ The Underdog, Feb 8 2014
Recorded by Joshua Watson & Andrew Mclellan.
Mixed by Dusty Anastassiou.

Airing details: Originally via Zed Digital, 8-9pm, Friday 14 February 2014.
Show production and engineering: Joshua Watson.
Kudos: Dusty Anastassiou.

Live Delay - Ep 57 - Blank Realm

Step-Panther:

Starting off in Sydney, Step Panther have shredded their way across stages locally and internationally for the last 6 years. With their lo-fi rock n roll garage pop tunes you could easily mistake their sound for something made in a Detroit garage in the 1960’s. Their high energy rambunctious live shows have earned them slots at South By Southwest and the Great Escape, as well as supporting international acts such as Yuck, Kurt Vile, and Girls. With two EPS, two albums and a third album on the way, Step Panther show no signs of slowing down. 

Recorded live at The Oxford Arts Factory in Sydney as part of the Volumes Festival on the 29th August 2015.
Recorded & mixed by Harvey O’Sullivan.


Seaplane:

Based in Brisbane, Seaplane have been releasing music since the year 2000. Made up with dueling guitars from Dale Peachey (Dollar Bar) and Stirling Bartlam, kept together with heavy hitting Scott Brique (Nova Scotia, Heavy Breather) on drums, Seaplane have a sound that’s somewhere between alternative rock instrumentation and indie pop lyricism that is sure to catch your attention. 

Recorded live at Club Greenslopes in Brisbane as part of the Sonic Masala Fest on 21st of June 2014.
Recorded & mixed by Harvey O’Sullivan.

Airing details: Originally via Zed Digital, 7-8pm, Sunday 29th May 2016.
Show production and engineering: Branko Cosic.

Babaganouj:

Starting in 2011, Babaganouj have become an absolute songwriting powerhouse in the last 5 years releasing too many singles and EP’s to name, as well as touring the east coast more times than we can keep track of. Their garage pop sound is always dripping with the glowing sunbeams you can expect from a Brisbane band, but what makes them unique is songwriting and vocal duties are shared equally between the three members Harriette Pilbeam, Ruby McGregor, and Charles Sale. 

They’ve even taken the extra step in this direction by recording three separate EP’s for release this year, with each one written solely by one member. And although they may share the songwriting duties, their songs are always catchy, upbeat, and there to keep the good times rolling.

Recorded live at The Foundry in Brisbane on the 20th of March, 2015.
Recorded & mixed by Tim Roberts.


The Goon Sax:

Like their name would probably indicate, The Goon Sax are a teenage trio who write songs about being an awkward adolescent, while still being that awkward adolescent. Their songs cover everything from home haircuts, ice cream, and not being able to work at target. Put simply, they have found a way to turn the mundane pieces of growing up in suburbia and write catchy, jangly indie pop songs about it.  Their debut album ‘Up to Anything’, which came out on the Chapter Music label in March 2016, has seen them tour nationally and internationally, and even scored great reviews from international tastemaker publications Pitchfork and NME.

Recorded live at The Woolly Mammoth in Brisbane on the 25th of June, 2016.
Recorded and mixed by Branko Cosic.

Airing details: Originally via Zed Digital, 7-8pm, Sunday 11th September 2016.
Show production and engineering: Branko Cosic.

Seeing live music is a transformative experience. Live Delay brought all the passion of the stage and the spice of the crowd direct to your ears, capturing the story of Australian music as it happened.

From the heart-pounding swagger of nationally-beloved live favourites to the sharp thrill of innovative new artists, our team scoured venues great and small across Meanjin/Brisbane to ensure you never missed out on the finest musical treasures the city had to offer. For eleven years, Live Delay brought the thrilling sound of our live music scene to the community and archived these live recordings and broadcasts through our Soundcloud page. In 2024, for a variety of creative and pragmatic reasons, Live Delay switched from a pre-recorded podcast-style program to a live broadcast from 4ZZZ Studio 2 each Friday afternoon featuring a live gig guide and various other up-to-the-minute information about live music in Meanjin/Brisbane.

On air from January 2013 to November 2024, Live Delay was broadcast on 4ZZZ, Zed Digital, and the Community Radio Network. The program is currently on indefinite hiatus.
