Red Eyes

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.

Shandy:

Live at The Tivoli, Fortitude Valley, 17 April 2021

Shandy are a five piece-piece rock 'n roll group from Brisbane. They formed at a local soccer match in 2013 when singer JJ Speedball pitched bass player Viktor Guard an idea for a new band. It would be inspired by British "bovver rock", mixed with the Australian "Sharpie" youth subculture from the 1970s. Guard agreed it was a great idea and ordered a round of shandies from the bar to celebrate, thus giving the band their name.

Originally a trio, Shandy expanded to a five-piece and released their debut album "Tough Pucker" in 2015. They toured Europe several times, which led to the release of live album "Live in Rennes" in 2021. They are currently working on their second studio album, "Hard Yakka".

This set you're about to hear was recorded at Blowhard's "The Last Blow" gig.

Recorded by James Potts
Mixed by Will Hibbard

Extra songs:
Blowhard - "You're Too Cool", "Stuck In My Dreams", "Diamond St (The Toxic Waste Bop)", "Sexual DV8", "I'm Broke", "Hey Taxi" live at The Tivoli, 17 April 2021

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

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.
