Melbournites Alpine (AUS) tread a curious line that lands somewhere between Fleetwood Mac and The XX. As strange a marriage as that sounds, it’s probably the only fitting way to describe songs like their ubiquitous single “Heartlove” – with its jagged rhythm’s and staccato yet harmonic vocals. The track is taken from their recently released Zurich EP – a unique blend of colour soaked electronic synth-pop. |

The Evelyn Hotel is one of the best smaller scaled venues in Melbourne, with many a band’s careers having kick started at the pub. Even band’s like Muse have played there before they found stardom. Therefore it was the perfect place for some of the country’s better young rock bands to show their wares to a decent sized crowd.

Splendour In The Grass has come and gone, but it will live long in the memory of OWL EYES. As well as her surprise onstage collab with ILLY to perform their hit duet It Can Wait, the 20-year-old starlet fulfilled a life dream by meeting musical hero DEVENDRA BANHART. If that weren’t exhilarating enough, the freaky folk troubadour bestowed the highest honour upon our girl by ‘giving’ her his song Owl Eyes – the very song she took her name from. It doesn’t get much better than that!
Returning home safe and star-struck, Owl Eyes was greeted with the very exciting news that her upcoming EP launch at the Northcote Social Club had SOLD OUT. |
  – The Jezabels |
The pathways leading to the GW Mclennan Stage were shut down on Saturday when The Jezabels executed their set at Splendour In The Grass, due to too much traffic. Those who did make it in were treated to one of the greatest sets of their career. Having spent a good deal of 2011 touring overseas in the UK, USA, Europe, Canada & Singapore The Jezabels return to stages here at home in October to launch their debut LP Prisoner (in store independently through MGM September 16th 2011).
Powerful, poetic, bold and pure, Prisoner is the first full-length release from the Sydney based quartet. A stunning collection of songs that showcases maturity in song writing, well beyond their young years. |

Review by Billy Geary
On Sunday night in Melbourne; Periphery, Tesseract and Twelve Foot Ninja claimed gig of the year. It’s that simple. Upon arriving 20 minutes before the doors opened, in order to get barrier spots, the line to get in was already stretching 75 metres down Swanston St, causing that idea to be promptly dismissed. To put it in perspective, the other shows on this tour were at venues with capacities of 400-500 people and only Sydney managed to sell out.
The Hifi, a 1200 capacity venue, was forced to turn people away after about 8pm. Not a bad effort for a band on their first headline tour of Australia.

It was about time that Ball Park Music headlined their own tour. With presence and personality like theirs it is hard to stay in other bands’ shadows. The sellout crowd at Alhambra Lounge were treated to an exhilarating and upbeat show.
Local band Millions warmed up the crowd with smooth vocals, a steady snare and a nostalgic 90s sound. Concertgoers had their eyes on the band and were nodding along.
