This year marks the 10th anniversary of Dandelion Wine’s landmark EP ‘Light Streaming Down’. Showing the band’s customary blend of medieval string instruments and electronic beats in a more ambient and ethereal setting than their subsequent releases; ‘Light Streaming Down’ launched Dandelion Wine onto the international stage and resulted in them spending much of the next decade touring Europe and Japan and playing everywhere from Tokyo underground clubs to German castles. In celebration they’ll revisit some of the favourite tracks from the EP at this show, as well as showcase newer work. Joining them on the night will be cinematic audio-visual artist Heidi Elva with her iPhone-driven soundscapes. Stream ‘Shards’ here.

Hard hitting horns funkin’ up traditional style Cumbia, a tight rhythm section dissecting Afro-Colombian progressions, skankin’ guitars infusing reggae grooves, and a front man recreating the ancient mythological stories of Colombia, all intertwine to create what is now Melbourne’s unique nine-piece Latin reggae outfit Madre Monte. After four years of performing to crowds at festivals around the country, residencies at some of Melbourne’s most notorious music institutions, a tour of Tasmania, and selling out teir debut EP ‘Reaction’, Madre Monte have turned it up and will release their second EP ‘Raza:Madre’ at this show. Madre Monte will be joined on the night by special guests expanding to a 13-piece explosion of Afro-Colombian and reggae grooves.

The band will be letting fans decide the set lists for the shows via Facebook with anything from ‘Sunspot Letters’ and ‘Lotus Skies’ fair game, plus they’ll showcase new material. Leader Cheetah, with a violinist along for the ride, will also be mixing up the live show format with songs performed in different ways than seen before. Perhaps ‘Our Love’ will make your pick for the set list.

SEBASTIAN is a progressive neo-burlesque performance incorporating dance, live music and video installation. The production’s lustrous aesthetic is inspired by renaissance artworks form the likes of Caravaggio and is conversely infused with more modern tastes like the tongue-in-cheek works of Tom of Finland, and is structured in performance styles such as Brechtian theatre or modern live Electroclash shows. Burlesque is a very popular performance movement, but SEBASTIAN radically deviates from the form with live music and other performance modes incorporated into the show. The show is more rock, hard edge, sexy, humorous and original.

This will be the first chance you’ll have to hear some of the new songs.

After stand out shows at SXSW, New York rocker Devin has announced a nationwide Australian tour to follow up his triple j Feature Album ‘Romancing’. Armed with his catchy hit single ‘Masochist’, Devin is set to wow audiences, displaying why he was named one of NME’s “20 Acts That Will Matter in 2012”. Devin has received a wave of praise following his performances in Austin as part of SXSW, with Time Out New York declaring, “He is a breath of fresh air, tinged by the scent of Old Spice and the feel of a silk leopard-print button-down” and that his music is “the meeting point between Jack White and David Johansen”.

Love Connection will launch their second album, ‘Euphoria’, at this show. The launch will be one of the final Love Connection shows before they relocate to New York in July. A beautiful opaque collection of swirling pop, the album sees Love Collection dig a little deeper and discover the reflective end of their lyrics, which while simplistic are introspective and in the context of pop music, offer up something nearing the anthemic. From the hazy warmth of opener ‘Piezoelectric’ and ‘Coasting’, the resonant pop tones of single ‘Nobody Knows’, the Floydian vibes of ‘Natures Vice’, to the gloriously ambient ‘Forest’, ‘Euphoria’ is filled with shimmery songs that only age better with repeated listens. This is not to mention the 20+ minutes of the title track, which lulls you with its lovingly entwined drones and Kraut-tones.

US punk rock/melodic hardcore band Strike Anywhere will head up this huge show. Joining Strike Anywhere will be hardcore punk band from Adelaide, Stolen Youth, plus Josh from Paper Arms in an acoustic set, and Outright.

Fronted by Tali White (formerly of The Lucksmiths), lead-cellist/bassist Cressida Griffith, sax prodigy Gus Rigby, drummer-about-town Phil Collings, trumpet from Roger ‘the tall man’ Clark and guitar magic from Basic Shape’s Gerry Eeman, The Guild League has been cranking out their lyrical-indie-soul-folk since 2001 and has produced three fine albums, ‘Private Transport’, ‘Inner North’ and ‘Speak Up’. Several songs including, ‘Jetset Go’ and ‘Siamese Couplets’, have received wide radio play. Joining The Guild League at this matinee show, Major Chord emerged about four years ago out of the ashes of other bands. He now lives alone, builds his own instruments and enjoys capturing sounds when they’re not looking. Stream The Guild League’s ‘Dead Hour’ here.

Hailing from the Gold Coast, Tijuana Cartel has built a firm reputation for beats that span the globe. Multi-layered grooves, touches of slide and flamenco guitar, trumpet, vocals and Afro-Cuban percussion mixed with some hardened electronica. With the sound of their previous two singles – the hypnotic ‘White Dove’ and eminently quirky ‘Letting It Go’ – still wafting through the airwaves thanks to solid radio support, Tijuana Cartel have announced this show off the back of their hot performance at Bluesfest over Easter.

My Brightest Diamond (Shara Worden) will tour for Vivid Festival and will play this sideshow. As impressive as her list of recent collaborators, Shara Worden’s voice and arresting live performances have left audiences thunderstruck. She’s performed under the experimental-pop moniker My Brightest Diamond for the last seven years, and counts Bryce Dessner (The National), Justin Vernon (Bon Iver), and each of The Decemberists (among others) as friends and fans. After moving to New York by way of Moscow, she joined the ranks of Sufjan Stevens’ ‘Illinoisemakers’. Now residing in Detroit, Worden’s latest offering, ‘All Things Will Unwind’, featuring single ‘Be Brave’, draws inspiration from the motor city itself. More folk inspired than recent work, the new album addresses the juxtaposition of life and death, class and race, pantries and politics, as heard through the mesmerising lullaby of a new mother.

World-renowned guitarist/singer/songwriter Kim Churchill is ready to hit the road for a national tour with Benjalu, hot on the heels of the release of his second album ‘Detail of Distance’.

At just 21 years of age, Kim Churchill is revered worldwide for his guitar talents, with a technique and lyrical outlook far beyond his years. His style is unique and explosive, with intricate fingerpicking, percussive beats on the body of the guitar, and two-handed tapping intertwined with an earthy stomp box, powerful harmonica melodies and soulful voice. Stream his new single ‘Seasons Grind’ from the album.

Paul Reed Smith, founder of PRS Guitars, is presenting a night of great guitar work featuring Electric Mary and Toehider. Described by Classic Rock Magazine as sounding like “Guns ‘n’ Roses meets Free, add Aerosmith’s pizzazz and a pinch of Tom Morello’s staccato chops, all fronted by any iron-lunged singer from rock’s golden age, and you’re getting warm”, Electric Mary’s 2008 release ‘Down To The Bone’ was dubbed “rock album of the year” by the Sunday Mercury. Releasing their debut self-titled EP in 2008, Toehider’s singler and songwriter Michael Mills bypassed the “difficult second album syndrome” by instead releasing 12 albums in 12 months, which saw the band explore a vast array of musical styles and genres. With the project completing in April 2010, Toehider released their follow up project, ‘To Hide Her’, 18 months later. Hear Paul speak briefly before he introduces two of Melbourne’s finest rock acts.

Linda J and Bean Johnston were once upon a time one half of punk legends Little Ugly Girls, the most famous Tasmanian band never to release a record. Dissolving LUGs somewhere around the turn of the century, they reinvented themselves as Melbourne rock darlings the Dacios, releasing their album ‘Monkey’s Blood’ in 2009. The brother and sister duo have dedicated their new album, ‘Dancing on Sinking Sands’, which they’ll launch at this show, to their parents. The album sees the duo lay their hearts open with ten new torch songs – a series of allegories of romantic love, abandoned love, mad love and a love of life.

Honest and intensely human, Whitaker present music fuelled by melodic drive and timeless sensibility. The Melbourne five-piece will launch their debut LP, recorded in Atlanta, GA, at the famed Southern Tracks Studios where the walls still echo the sounds of Aretha Franklin, Bob Dylan and Lynyrd Skynyrd to name a few. The album, produced by Nick DiDia (Powderfinger, Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen, Incubus), chronicles years of earnest songwriting and experience. Your modern woes, your hopes and fury are nothing new to Whitaker – and it’s all on this record. Download Whitaker’s I Will Break Your Heart’ free here.

Melbourne scrap-pop wonders New Estate release their fourth album ‘Recovery’ this April, their first for Chapter Music. As the title suggests, it’s a reinvigorated band on the new album, making it their brightest, catchiest record to date. The departure of Brad Cosier in 2010 saw the band undergo a period of inner contemplation, but they have re-emerged with new bassist Toby Dutton (ex Flywheel) and a renewed dedication to their ragged, intelligent pop, always with its centre of molten warmth. Stream the title track from the album here.

Tobias Hengefield’s songs weave a mist of isolation, drunken-delusion, yearning and ill-intent. Hengeveld unravels vignettes of other lives lived; calling through time to capture the mysteries of the everyday. This raw folk-narrative echoes the disarming intimacy of Richard Bucknet, in concert with an edgy and cyclical acoustic guitar-style reminiscent of Bert Jansch. Watch Tobias Hengefield’s video for ‘Make A Noise’ here.

VulgarGrad bring you the old songs of the Russian thieves (blatnie pesny or blatnyak), along with punk classics of the Perestroika era. VulgarGrad arose in Melbourne in late 2004 out of a collaboration between some of Australia’s best musicians in underground ethnic styles and the incredible vocal talents of one of Australia’s most formidable actors, Jacek Koman (Children of Men, Moulin rouge). Since their formation VulgarGrad have caused a sensation on Australia’s music and festival scene, as well as an appearance on ABC’s ‘Spicks and Specks’, proving that what Australian audiences really seem to need is a wild night of old-fashioned Russian criminality. After all, if Russia and Australia have anything in common, it’s convicts.

Creatures of Karma are a modern alt-rock band from Melbourne. Aside from possessing a fierce desire to create memorable live shows, Creatures of Karma work alongside local visual artists to enhance the storytelling experience of their music.

Joining Creatures of Karma at the next instalment of ‘Melting Pot’ will be Cathouse Canary, who are celebrating the release of their EP, Rock Scars plus more. Find out more about Creatures of Karma and stream a couple of tracks here.

Quarry Mountain Dead Rats’ highly anticipated debut album is here. After catching the eyes – and ears – of producer Shane Nicholson with their raw and gritty version of bluegrass, the band headed to Nash Chambers’ Foggy Mountain Studios in the Hunter Valley to record their debut album ‘Bloodhound Killed My Squeezebox’ last September. They establish an ‘old mate’ affinity with their audiences while delivering a kick-you-in-the-face live show, setting the tone for a sing along, drink along, foot-stomping good time. Quarry Mountain Dead Rats’ instrumentation of banjo, mandolin, acoustic guitar, double bass and washboard fits the bluegrass mould, but the influence of old-time mountain-music combined with rock ‘n’ roll sensibilities, give way to something altogether different. Stream and download the first single, ‘Days Like These’, here.

To celebrate Oliver Tank’s homecoming, he is throwing a series of parties including this show. Continuing to take on the world, Oliver Tank is currently in the UK to perform at The Great Escape and Liverpool Sound City, with extra shows around the UK thrown in for good measure.

To celebrate the release of their much anticipated second album, ‘2’, set for release this May, Ned Collette and Wirewalker will perform this album launch. It’s been over two years since Melbourne musician Ned Collette relocated to Berlin. Written mostly during Collette’s first year in the Germany capital, ‘2’ explores themes of distance and restarting, taking up arms against the neighbours, fantasies of death and decline after the party, butterflies, salad, altering cities and forgotten home. The album also features an instrumental tribute to late Chilean writer Roberto Bolano. While this is the second Wirewalker record, the title also refers to the fact that the album is essentially collaboration between Collette and Talia.

It was a broken ankle at the age of 17 that forced Shaun Kirk into sitting still and subsequently into discovering a passion for music. Having written his first song in a hospital bed, Shaun soon realised an irrefutable feel for the blues. Since the independent release of his award winning debut album ‘Cruisin’ in 2010, Shaun has been captivating audiences across the country. With a bevy of new material, Kirk’s first full-length album, ‘Thank You for Giving Me the Blues’, sees the 23-year-old troubadour take a leap in musical maturity. The album, which offers seven original tracks and three covers, including this Bo Diddley classic, ‘Who Do You Love’, has all the passion and vigour you can ask for in a contemporary blues and soul record. Topped off by a cameo performance with Australian blues legend Lloyd Spiegel and Shaun’s resilient, grinding vocal abilities, this is Kirk’s most accomplished work to date.

It’s been a whirlwind 12 months for Emma Louise with sold out shows, international notoriety and an endless list of accolades owed to her intoxicating voice, an honest delivery and, of course, boundless coverage of her debut single ‘Jungle’. She now returns to home soil with a bout of intimate shows and a new single entitled ‘Boy’, the first taste of her forthcoming debut album due in early 2013. A swaying mid-paced song, it sits perfectly between her folk musings and perhaps what those loving the percussive nature of ‘Jungle’ might expect. A sure signal of a growingly assured artist – relaxed, yet certain to make her own way. new single entitled ‘Boy’

Hugo Race (Bad Seeds founding member) returns to Australia for an East Coast tour, including this show, in support of his first solo album, ‘No But It’s True’, due for release this June. Special guests for the tour are Leek & The War Wick Tragedy, who have just been announced as the first band to sign with Race’s new record label, Rough Velvet Records (MGM). Race will be showcasing tracks from his new solo album, which explores the theme of love, interpreting covers from a maelstrom of music eras going back as far as the fifties, but including greats such as ‘I’m On Fire’. The album is reflective of Hugo’s love of primitive folk and blues songs from decades past. Click here to watch the video for ‘Zeroes’.

Let’s get one thing straight: The Good Ship is a very bad ship. Drawing inspiration from fellow denizens of the deep like Nick Cave, The Decemberists and The Pogues, their pelagic folk rock charts some dark and dangerous waters, and a more mangy, cross-bred collection of influences, from gypsy to bush-band via cabaret, country and rock you’ll not hear. In the world of The Good Ship it’s the good stuff that sinks to the bottom. Live, The Good Ship are a seething maelstrom of decadent musicality, with up to nine members on stage at any one time and a whole heap of archaic instrumentation from mandola, lagerphone, fiddle and trumpet to accordion. Watch the ‘Seven Seas’ video here.

Basement is a band making waves around the world. Their take on the punk/emo revival of recent years has led them from their home in Ipswich, England, across the UK and further afield to the USA. Now it will bring them to their devoted fans in Australia and they’ll be joined by Sydney’s Endless Heights. Basement has developed their own distinct sound, combining elements of ‘90s emo, punk rock and hardcore, attaching a British accent and outlook and writing songs about life as they see it.

Watch them performing ‘Yoke’ live at a recent show.

Tales and songs, some old, some new. Don Walker sings the words. Dance beats and sonics courtesy of the Suave Fucks. The Cold Chisel member’s songs have been mapping Australia, from Kings Cross to “regional towns – maybe the race-track end of things – and the spaces between”, for thirty years, through solo albums and shows, a couple of albums with Tex Don and Charlie, back to his youth as a member of Cold Chisel. This tour will feature new songs among the old. Watch Don live in Cairns.

For Diesel, the blues are never far away, he’s always infused the spirit and the sound into his music. Born Mark Lizotte, Diesel is one of Australia’s most gifted natural musicians. His talent marked him as special from the moment he first played on a stage and, twenty-two years on, it continues to thrill and amaze audiences. First there was Johnny Diesel & The Injectors – a bolt of lightning that struck the Aussie rock scene. Then he went solo –the dawn of the platinum-selling, ARIA-winning solo era. A blues album with Chris Wilson in 1996, ‘Short Cool Ones’, was followed by a New York interlude producing an album under his own name. Returning to Australia, Diesel embarked on a solo acoustic journey with numerous releases including last year’s endeavour, his album ‘7 Axes to Grind’, a celebration of his most enduring muse – the guitar.

With an eclectic mix of instruments and influences, it’s hard to put the sound of Electric Guest in a box, but one journalist described their music as “a mutant-albeit somewhat cleaned up and electronic-‘60s garage thing”. Ultimately, it’s damn fine pop music courtesy of Electric Guest and their friend, and uber producer, Danger Mouse. Watch Electric Guests’s new video for ‘This Head I Hold’, then check them out live at this Splendour In The Grass sideshow.

Hayes Carll hasn’t been resting on his laurels since topping critics’ polls and winning awards for his 2008 album, ‘Trouble in Mind’. Instead, he’s been on the road nearly nonstop with his band, blasting through honky tonks and rock clubs across the U.S. and beyond. Along the way he’s been inspired to write a crop of new tunes that the acclaimed songwriter says are “a layman’s take on our country – a snapshot of America in some small way.” The result is the sharply drawn collection ‘KMAG YOYO (& Other American Stories)’, comprising fiery rock, twangy country, pensive folk and even a touch of gospel. A military acronym standing for “Kiss My Ass Guys, You’re on Your Own”, the title track is one of a dozen songs that brings to life such rich characters as its protagonist.

In music, there are leaders and there are followers. For every blistering riff there is an imitator. For each impassioned bellow, a sound-alike. WARBRINGER did not invent their own vein of metal. They were preceded by greats like Slayer, Exodus, Testament, Anthrax and the almighty Metallica, but over the course of their previous two albums, they have managed to construct songs that are equal parts ferocity and finesse, and in doing so, created a sound that is distinctly their own. With the release of ‘Worlds Torn Asunder’, WARBRINGER are poised to take their rightful place at the table alongside the big boys.
