Point is – there is STACKS of new music coming out of this place and people are starting to take n… Continue

Oscillate Wildly: an interview with Rico Adjrun.

Rico Adjrun is a ‘Darwin son’ in the way that makes the NT one of the most culturally exciting places to be in Australia – especially if you’re a musician.

Songlines: an interview with roymackonkey's Darryl Barba.

Without doubt, one of the NT’s most well-loved and well-known original music bands is roymackonkey. In the best sense they’ve “been around”, “been there, done that” and have "been back for more” after moving Down South for a few years playing the Melbourne music circuit for the ‘educational’ experience. Testament to their calibre is that their music is still as juiced up and energetic as the day they formed in 1997. Speak… Continue

He was a member of one of Darwin's 'coolest' young bands, The Fairweather Dolls; until last month he was 19 years of age, and now with London calling his talents as a producer/performer, until mid-December he will relish being a video store attendant - “possibly the best day job ever!” But by night he’s a dedicated electronic artist with serious music composition on his mind. His name is "… Continue

The Territory’s hard on ‘blow ins'. Even a decade living here doesn’t automatically qualify you for a ‘Territory’ stamp on your passport… “You’re just a ten year tourist!" Professional musician Steve Smith might not have been born here but he’s lived and worked in the NT for most of his life, playing up to seven nights a week in various covers and original music bands, at most of the venues you can think of – a… Continue
