Want horror that makes you scream for more? Then gather the finest and filthiest of bands together and unleash them to an energetic captivated audience across two states. Following the success of 2012, Drunken Moon Festival is set to continue to promote the best live performers in the punk/roots/blues/garage/rock/’abilly’s live scene with a beautifully menacing line up just announced for the 2013 event.

Album Review: Madre Monte – “Raza:Madre”
Review by JOSE EDUARDO CRUZ
Melbourne has been responsible for constantly producing great bands over the years. Madre Monte upholds this responsibility alive and well with their latest EP Raza:Madre.
The influx of Colombian migrants into Australia over the last decade has seen an outpouring of cultural exchange, in particularly, musical exchange that it is beginning to fit seamlessly into the Australian musical landscape. Madre Monte formed in Melbourne, but their origins begin in Cali, Colombia, and it is from here that this beautiful music takes its cue. What makes this release so special is that Madre Monte mixes English and Spanish lyrics quite easily making their music very accessible to the wider Australian music audiences.

Pat Tierney -The World Don’t Owe You Nothin’ – Single Launch Tour
Brisbane’s lap-sliding journeyman Pat Tierney returns with his brand new single “The World Don’t Owe You Nothin” on October 1st and is taking his brand of folk, acoustic, blues and roots on the road once more to take his story to familiar faces and new.
“The World Don’t Owe You Nothin” is a laid back, but energising bluesy harp and guitar number, all about how things could be worse and you could be in a worse position in life, so keep those less fortunate in your heart and a smile on your face. It’s a feel good tune with a great sing along chorus.
