The Scare
Not the biggest Scare fan, but they’re definitely riling some feathers with their debut Oozevoodoo (whatever the fuck that is/was/will be). Their current single, Could Be Bad is being pummeled on indy radio around Australia right now, it’s hard to miss.. it’s a bit Paper Scissors, a bit Klaxons… maybe a really angry version of [...]
Fear of Tigers
He’s back – and he’s towing a metric fucktonne of stardust and rainbow-maned-unicorns behind him with this new remix for popsters-du-jour Visitor. Los Feeling has been pummeled on Hype M… the stems have been cast to the four winds, and a twinkly forest of sub-par to par remixes have emerged from the soil. But this, [...]
The Bag Raiders’ Shooting Stars Tour
Hold up the crazy train and lock up your pets and the fragile elderly, because the Bag Raiders are coming and they are a, um, menace to, uh, pets… and the fragile elderly… When I began that sentence I thought that I’d come up with a better way to finish it. I really did. Sigh. [...]
The Nextdoor Neighbors
I’ve been obsessing over Olympia/Seattle-based outfit, The Nextdoor Neighbors, so hard since discovering them a few weeks ago. Ridiculously endearing, this offbeat electro folk/pop duo released their debut album, Magic Vs the Machine, on Bicycle Records late last year, and it’s quite an impish little affair. With Kathy Cotes on keys and Jessie Hill on [...]
Friday Jams
These Flashmen guys have the best MySpace background I’ve ever seen. Anyone know who did it? I’d like to have a bedspread and matching pillow set made out of those graphics. They’d look good in my red racing car bunk bed, which also matches my red hair which also matches my incredible hold over young [...]
Poligono
I have got no desire to go to Mexico. Between this, this and a really scarring experience I had down at Madmex on Crown St (shutup don’t want to talk about it stop talking)… well I’ve kinda made up my mind, amigo, that Mexico is not for me-o. Feeling like Bondi Burrito for dinner tonight. [...]
Dubstep Digest Vol. 2: Joker
I’ve been meaning to do another dubstep post for, well, ages, (it’s been 14 months since the first of what was at the time going to be many Dubstep Digests) but I was a bit hesitant because I’ve always been a little hazy on how the genre as a whole felt toward the idea of [...]
Russ Chimes

Catch him around Australia at the following spots: 7 Aug Limelite FREMANTLE 8 Aug Tank SYDNEY 14 Aug Electric Circus ADELAIDE 15 Aug The Prince [...]

Ma’at, Music and His Shoes…
Electrorash, meet Ma’at, a friend of mine from Brissy, (AKA, Shrek) He is a good guy, loves a chuckle and more importantly loves his music. He can usually be seen humming on unsuspecting females, and just generally being a nuiscance to Brisbane’s nightlife. Here are his top five on high rotation at moment, some old, [...]
