Purple Sneakers NYE: The Teenagers
By: Thomas Mitchell
As I approach twenty, I can understand The Teenagers need to hang onto these precious years. Drinking heavily, the ‘where did it all go wrong’ nod from parents, not caring about interest rates, all magical aspects of teenagehood. Read on…

My Disco
By: Michael Carr
Seated in the corner of his cell wearing a raincoat and nothing else, My Disco guitarist Ben Andrews doesn’t seem the least bit bothered. The entire space is made of some pristine white plastic. Looking around it’s easy to lose your bearings and fall into the grips of vertigo. Basically, it looks like the band sounds. Read on…

The Ray Mann Three
By: Michael Carr
“Well we’ve been embarking on our first tour,” Ray Wassef singer/guitarist of the Ray Mann Three tells me, a blissfully weary tone oozing forth from his golden vocal chords. “These have been our first gigs outside of Sydney. We basically jumped in a Tarago and have been visiting everywhere from Brisbane to Melbourne and a whole bunch of regional places along the way.” Read on…

Bluejuice In: Domestic Bliss
By: Michael Carr
Upon arriving at Jake Stone and Stav Yiannoukas’ shared flat in Surry Hills I am quite surprised to find the two of them cleaning the kitchen in matching aprons and hairnets, and not much else. They however, don’t seem the least bit bothered with the situation, ushering me over to a seat an offering me a bogan sandwich. Read on…

Inbetween The Inbetweens Roots Manuva
By: Michael Carr
My porn star name would be Kimbo Moredon,” Rodney “Roots Manuva” Smith tells me with a sigh and a giggle. “I don’t think I could be a porn star though, they’d need to get a body double, you know, so they could use my face but I could still tell my mum it’s not me.” Read on…

Cover Story: Anton Newcombe & The Brian Jonestown Massacre
By: Michael Carr
Brian Jonestown Massacre frontman and independent music icon Anton Newcombe is a complicated figure. Well known for his problems with drug addiction, onstage brawls and combative attitude toward the music industry - having literally started a fight at his own label showcase - Anton is a lot more than just the ego-centric megalomaniac he’s often portrayed as.

Cover Story: Horrorshow!
By: Michael Carr
We’ve got a lot of friends who are really supportive and really down to come and watch us, and it sounds cheesy but they’re sort of the best fans you could hope for,” says Horrorshow’s Nick Bryant-Smith aka Solo. “We’ve been really lucky in that sense because it’s helped us be able to organise our own stuff, and we know enough artists and we have enough of a community around what we do that we can do our own thing and not necessarily have to rely on being booked by external people.”
