The Rogue Element
I’m pretty sure The Rogue Element was the subject of my very first post for this fine blog, all the way back in November. Well, I assure you that my love has waned naught in the interim, even if he hasn’t put out a wealth of new material over the last six months. More excitingly [...]
Institubes in Sydney
Next Friday night the crew from Institubes will be playing at one of my favourite places in the world – The Oxford Art Factory. The aptly named Institubes Paris Terror Club, which features Surkin’s scruffier adopted little brother, Bobmo, plus DJ Orgasmic, and Alex J. Murphy aka Das Glow, will be finishing up their one-week [...]
Parklife 2008 Festival
The dates and lineup for this years Parklife festival have just been announced and it looks fantastic. Probably the best Australian festival lineup that I have seen for a long time and perhaps a good reason for me to start liking festivals again. Goldfrapp Soulwax Peaches 2manydjs Dizzee Rascal Martin Solveig Plump DJs Diplo Jesse [...]
Moulinex | Xinobi | D.I.S.C.O. Texas Tour
Moulinex and Xinobi are in the country at the moment on the D.I.S.C.O. Texas tour, taking in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. I was lucky enough to catch up with Luis Moulinex and Bruno Xinobi yesterday to talk about the tour, the label and music in general. They told me a little bit more about the [...]
Electrorash World Tour!
Duncan from Electrorash (read: Me) is going on a sweet Euro trip. First stop – Berlin, to visit the intimidatingly cool cats at Scala.. I’m actually going to miss this party by a few days, but if you’re in the area make an effort to get down there. Midnight Juggs + Bang Gang DJs = [...]
FUTURECOP TOUR
Futurecop began life as it seems a lot of good musical artists do, making music to please themselves with no pre cursors or attempt to fit in with the norm. Futurecop make music that could quite easily be placed as scores in movies, defining moments, victorious battles and epic car chases just some ideas off [...]
Ellen Allien/Modeselektor/Lindstrom
Finally, something to spice up the general monotony of Perth nightlife – a night devoted to reasonably monotonous Germanic techno. Yay! Tonight down at Shape we have all three of the above mentioned Berliners swinging through town for a ‘Beck’s Fusion’ session – close to the only proper techno evening this town has seen in [...]
VHS Or Beta – Half Price!
I guess this is one of those situations where you just go along with it and don’t ask why. Signalling the return of good bands touring down here after a brief period of near nothingness, VHS Or Beta are doing some sideshows around Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney before headlining the Sydney Festival, Come Together (*cough* [...]
Lollapalooza VS Splendour
Without the second line-up announcement for Splendour having happened yet, I’d say the line-ups for Lollapalooza and Splendour in the Grass (August 1-3 and August 2-3 respectively) this year are probably going to be pretty much equal. But hey Chicago, how about we trade you Pnau for DIOYY or Bloc Party, and Wolfmother for The [...]

We Love Splendour
Oh look, more festivals. With underwhelming line-ups. First up is the one I won’t be attending: early June’s We Love Sounds. It features some nice international names such as Bonde Do Rolê, The Bravery, !!!, Cassius, Mr Oizo and The Whip, plus some quality local acts. However, for those of you who don’t know North [...]
Russ Chimes Australian Tour
This is exciting news for us and all electro fans – electrorash.com are bringing Russ Chimes to Australia for a mini tour in May! We’ve been massive fans of Russ for a long time now and after seeing him on some massive bills overseas (Friday night he played with Futurecop! and College in London) we [...]
A Place To Bury Strangers – Tour and Release
So if any of you know who Sotto Voce, the invincible and inaudible Spanish vigilante, is, I love you, and you should totally come to my place for wine and cheese and I’ll tell you that I should very much like to have his horse and you can tell me that you wouldn’t mind trying [...]
Gameboy/Gamegirl EP Out
If you’ve avoided Melbourne funsters Gameboy/Gamegirl to this point in time, you’re probably going to struggle to do it for much longer. Made up of Jessica, Katy, Tranter and the mighty Miami Horror, GB/GG have been propagating their infectious brand of tongue in cheek electro sleaze through Melbourne since the tail end of 2006. However, [...]
