Episode 47: Damian Cowell – TISM, Damian Cowell’s Disco Machine, The Arseless Chaps
When it comes to Damian Cowell, the only word that accurately sums up his career is ‘prolific.’ A staple of the Melbourne music scene for close to five decades now, Cowell has been involved in more bands than I’ve had...
Episode 46: Levi Cooper – Raccoon City
For about 15 years now, Adelaide has been home to a stellar outfit called Raccoon City. Though not exactly trailblazers of the screamo and post-hardcore genre in the city, for a while, they were arguably one of the most prominent,...
Episode 45: Kingsley Hall – Benefits, The Chapman Family
If you don’t recognise the name Kingsley Hall, then I want you to stop what you’re doing right now and do a bit of musical research. For most, Kingsley’s name would be recognisable thanks to his role up the front...
Episode 44: Barry Adamson – Magazine, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
