CFOTW: The Carter IV
Posted by: The Blackmail
The Cheeky Freak this week is Lil Weezy who released The Carter IV this week… my pick is the track She Will with Drake, but it doesn’t seem to have a clip so we have to settle for JOHN with Ross… Heat!
Tomorrow in Sydney visit the Surry Hill Markets… word has it there are gonna be some pretty good stalls…

Current Issue: Unslayable
Text: Digby Woods
Here’s a bit of trivia: the oxymoronic Little Dragon took their name from the frustrated in-studio tantrums of lead singer Yukimi Nagano. Thankfully for the other band members, that fire is no longer spewing forth at random but has been creatively channeled into the likes of Ritual Union, Little Dragon’s third, and arguably most eclectic, album.
Although difficult to categorise, their sound is instantly recognisable, drawing deep upon familiar concepts such as love, heartache, renewal and uncertainty. Having earned fans in Gorillaz and Erykah Badu, Little Dragon are set to burn the stage down at this year’s Parklife festival. In anticipation of this, Digby Woods talked with Yukimi about songwriting, recording on the road, Toro Y Moi and Star Wars. Continue reading…

Current Issue: Donny Be Good
Text: Gabriel Knowles Images: James Nelson
If Donny Benet shoots to U2-esque prominence or ends up playing to a stadium full of adolescent girls shrieking his name despite not knowing why they actually like him, Hollywood will make a film about him. It will be the first feature about the life of a disco accordionist/jazz bassist. Continue reading…

Current Issue: Henge Beat
Text: Emma Ramsay Images: Zephyr Pavey
Be alarmed. At this very moment, the imagery and ideas of late 70s synth punk are being reworked in the suburbs of Melbourne. Total Control, whose debut LP Henge Beat is to be released this month, are bringing a unique kind of gravity back to live music, quietly redirecting people’s imaginations of what punk can be in this strange retroactive century.
As a pre-release copy of Henge Beat spins in my computer, nods to the legacy of Moog pioneers and German discotheques of EBM past emerge. Rising over the shoulders of the more danceable acts post-punk left behind, forging forward and bruising you on the way through are Total Control. Enter drummer James Vinci to talk us through this hot mess of sounds and ideas. Continue reading…

Canyons @ The Buffalo Club
Posted by: Michael Kucyk
From the friends who brought you Noise In My Head, Bamboo Musik and Plus Caf, a special evening with Modular Recording Artists CANYONS.
DJ/producer duo CANYONS will finally break out of their Sydney studio like exotic caged animals returning to the wild to go wild, in celebration of completing their debut album. It’s a wrap party! Set for a late 2011 release, this yet-to-be-titled album features cameos from Nite Jewel and Tame Impala and seamlessly travels through the many generations of dance culture – from freeform hippies frolicking green pastures, through to the liberating New York lofts, mid-tempo sun kissed balearia, the hard edged body music of Chicago and exhilarating 90s vocal house. Canyons’ DJ sets are all of these things plus more!
