My friend's girlfriend loves McKisko. He doesn't feel quite the same way... but then again he likes Soulja Boy. For more than just spite, I have to side with his better half on this issue, as this Brisbane songstress creates glorious lo-fi tales filled with everything you'd expect from a charming young lady who has just opened herself up to the world with the release of her debut album.

I know that every single one of you knows what Clean Up Australia Day is, so I won't bother spelling it out. If you feel even the slightest tinge of conscience, a sense of responsibility, a smidgen of compassion, then you will no doubt be pulling on your gloves, busting out your best dirty work clothes and heading to your nearest clean up area, or making your own effort to tidy up and beautify a slice of your home city.

After all this time waiting for the princes of glam-pop to ride into our fine land, Kevin Barnes and his troupe finally arrive with much pomp and splendour as they set about touring Australia in search of fair maidens and noble bards who will lend their majestic tunes an ear.

Description:
That brilliant Scottish post-rock sound hits our shores once again for a tour of atmospheric delight. Mogwai make some of the most mesmeric music possible, and it's hard not to fall into a catatonic state of bliss when listening, so if you plan on attending we advise you to set alarms or something similar to make sure you aren't left with your jaw on the floor, drooling uncontrollably, ears bleeding and eyes rolled into the back of your skull (yes, their music really does mess you up, but in the best possible way).

Is Damien DeRose a magician? Because he's certainly won me over with his magical tunes. Okay, that was lame, but it is 100% true. You honestly have to listen to the man who goes by the moniker Peasant.
