Luke Penman writes a blog supporting Adelaide’s music scene called Play/Pause/Play. It’s pretty awesome. What is even more awesome is that he’s always supported The Battery Kids too. As part of his series on bands the should be played on Triple J, we got a mention. I’d have to say, I do agree with him… [...]
On 22 October The Battery Kids played a rocking showcase as part of the Coopers Alive festival, with Before the Aftermath and Saving Savanah. It was a fucking kick ass rock show, with three solid performances and a reasonably full house of people ready to party. Check out the photos from the night here (Thanks [...]
Epic show. Great setting, lots of booze, cops got called, some guy was dancing atop wine barrels. All in all, a good night. http://www.theaureview.com/adelaide/the-swiss-bird-in-hand-winery-adelaide-27-08-10
Last Thursday (19th August) I finally managed to make it to Psychetronica Adelaide, an event that founder Daniel Feuerriegel describes as combining live art, music, visuals (VJing and electronic expression forms) and other types of expression (art architecture, communal animation). Psychetronica is a bit fringe and experimental, and it features artists you’re not likely hear [...]
In June 2010 Adelaide synthy dance/rock band The Killgirls smashed out an edgy, powerful set as the main support for The Battery Kids album launch, and I was immediately impressed by this band’s style, sophistication and professionalism. With a new single to be released later this week, an EP coming out soon and a bunch of support shows [...]
I lost my shit the first time I heard this band. They are like no-one else you’ve ever heard – a symphonic orchestra of rock and roll. Even their artwork is rad. [me] play Rocketbar this Friday 20 August, so unless you’re a retard you should go. Check out the song on www.meband.com

I finally had the chance to get down to Peel St last night to check out the awesome art space that is Format. The Format Festival has been running for a couple of weeks and ends this Sunday, and in this time has hosted a bunch of cool shows, live art installations and workshops. Last [...]
There were heaps of bands playing all across Adelaide for the Fuse Festival Ignition Showcase, but I chose to see Adelaide rock band The Battery Kids at Jive as I was liking what I had heard on their MySpace. Rounding out their national Underneath Her Skin tour, the band smashed out a rocking set that I [...]

Last Saturday night I covered the show Beatburger at Arcade Lane for the AU review. Beatburger was an audio-visual electronic music gig featuring Adelaide acts Supermarket and Atomitek. Supermarket played live beats to live video over three walls, while Atomitek synced a video wall with the band for their first live show. It was a [...]

To celebrate the release The Shiny Brights are taking their electrifying live show on the road, hitting Melbourne, Sydney [...]
Arcade Lane is Adelaide’s new pop-up bar nestled in a laneway in the central CBD. It’s been set up for the Adelaide Fringe 2010 and will host heaps of acts throughout the festival. The launch party kicked off at 7pm on Thursday 18 February 2010 with an action packed night that I think has set [...]
I can’t wait for the opening night of what I think will become THE party venue at this year’s Adelaide Fringe. Taking cues from the similar use of space in Melbourne (think St Jerome’s) Arcade Lane is rearing to go as an exciting new venue for Fringe acts including burlesque, cabaret and theatre shows, as [...]
Old school underground hip hop at its best! This is a track from way back in about 2001. I had written these harsh, angry verses and was looking for the right beat to put them down on. My mate Davide had the idea of taking the studio drum track from one of our rock songs [...]
In November 2009 Lazerbeat (David Adams) and little-scale (Sebastian Tomczak) took part in a challenge to write 30 songs in 30 days. They found a shared interest in the experimentation encouraged by creating music under a strict schedule and decided to push the idea a little further. So Lazerbeat and little-scale created Lazerscale 2010. The aim [...]
The AU Review is a non-profit online publication covering the live music scene and run by a group of music lovers in Sydney and Melbourne. As they say on their MySpace page, they don’t have paid advertising, and they never will. They don’t even have comments pages. It is simply a site written by fans [...]
The Swiss are a fantastic Adelaide band who, while they have been around as a live act for a while, have recently signed to Modular Records. According to their bio “In a time when everyone who isn’t Crookers is claiming to be a “disco act”, there is an insurmountable wash of pretenders. Adelaide trio The [...]
