Acclaimed band Lowrider are are back, and set to unveil their third studio album ‘Black Stones’ this Saturday at The Depot. Ahead of the much anticipated release, Soph and Seb spoke to drummer Paul about the album and how their sound has and continues to evolve.
Steph Crase AKA Summer Flake dropped in on Danni and Walter to have a chat about her most recent EP Where Do I Go?, and to tell us about her upcoming shows in New Zealand and at the South by South West showcase in America. She also brought in her guitar and played a couple of tracks.
After years of rocking out with Killing Heidi and keeping it in the family with The Verses, Australian songstress Ella Hooper has released her first solo project ‘In Tongues’.
Seb and Sophie caught up with Ella to chat about her independent release, the meaning behind her new single ‘Low High’ and how the music scene has changed since her career began.

Stage Two of the 15th Tour Down Under from Mt Barker to Rostrevor was a real game changer for the race.
The shortest stage in the history of the Tour Down Under saw a breakaway early on from Will Clarke (ARG), Calvin Watson (UNISA), Chris Juul Jensen (TST) and Guillaume Bonnafond (AG2R).
Clarke took out both the first and second intermediate sprits, before the breakaway was swallowed up by a charging peloton readying their key riders for the challenge of Corkscrew Road. Geraint Thomas (Sky) broke away from the peloton and charge up the Corkscrew with Javier Moreno (MOV), Ben Hermans (RSH) and Tom-Jelte Slagter (BLA) chasing hard. Thomas maintained his gap to claim King of the Mountain honours for the stage.
On the decent into Rostrevor there was an horrific pile up, with between 40 and 50 riders crashing into one another on a tight corner at speeds between 60 and 65km/h. There were plenty of graze’s and a few broken bones, with possibly three hospitalisations from the accident.
This threw the field and has destroyed the chances of many of the hot favorites who were in the middle of the peloton. This will seriously change the attitude of racing for some teams, as their key riders are well and truly out of General Classification contention, up to 2 and a half minutes down.
If you’ve not heard of local group SuperCaine, it’s probably because they are about as fresh as a band can get. Whilst the project has only been up and running for a couple of months, they are in the finishing stages of recording and already looking towards a launch. The whirlwind group of established Adelaide musicians dropped in for a chat with Seb and Sophie, giving us a sneak peak of what to expect from the lads in the coming months.
Adelaide sweethearts The Honey Pies are releasing their third album Coconuts this Friday (14/12) at Jive, but before they do that Danni and Walter caught up with Marcus to find out what it’s like recording an album next to the Adelaide Showgrounds while the Royal Show is in full swing.
