A big thanks to Jay Hoad for coming into the studio and sharing his talent with us!
See you next week,
Carol and Nina x

San Franciscan four-piece Thee Oh Sees were in the country recently for the Sugar Mountain Festival and  a couple of cheeky sideshows. Danni and Walter had a chat to bassist Petey Damnit! about the band’s new album ‘Carrion Crawler/The Dream’ ahead of their Adelaide show…

Local six-piece Old Mate is the brainchild of Pat Telfer, who decided he needed to replace his iPod with an actual band.  Pat popped into the studio to chat with Danni and Walter about the band’s debut EP ‘Word Is Bond’, which is due for release shortly.

Leave it to Queensland’s The Strums to forge strength through adversity. The destructive floods of early 2011 were a catalyst that got the guys  back to what they do best – rock’n'roll. With influences like The Living End, The Clash, AC/DC and The Rolling Stones, it’s not hard to see how these guys ended up so passionate. Check out their live set for Radio Adelaide’s The Friday Sessions below…

Jonti – Twirligig

Much has happened to Sydney musician Jonti Danilewitz since his emigration from South Africa, from collaborating with Sean Lennon in Brooklyn to an abundance of lawsuit-avoiding name changes (Danimals > Djanimals > Jonti), before settling on his own production prowess and the name on his birth certificate for his debut album. Twirligig is an immersive listen, full of the sketchy beats, electronic flourishes and dashes of sweetly crooned, digitally effected vocals finding popularity the world over.

Tune into The Range and Radio Adelaide breakfast to hear cuts from the album.

We’re not all that sure what to say about Ghyti. He/they prefer to remain fairly aloof, which makes for an amusing interview. On this week’s Friday Session you’ll hear a little about Ghyti origin mythology, interspersed with solo renditions of songs from the group’s new EP (none of which were produced by Kanye West.) We hope to get Ghyti back into our studios in ‘full band’ mode one of these days. Enjoy!

This week our guests are unique Adelaide 3-piece Mondo Phase Band … the first group we’ve ever seen use a pilot’s headset for a microphone! They’ve also got old school synthesizers and more effects pedals than you can poke a dirty Converse at. Warning: Motorik drumbeats ahead for those who chose to download this (totally awesome) live set for Radio Adelaide’s Friday Sessions. PS: This is also probably the best band photo of the decade.

Set list:

Dave Graney is a band leader, writer, commentator, broadcaster, rambler and moustache-haver. He’s been a respected mainstay of Austrailan independent music for decades – his mix of bravado, dark humour, wry cynicism and good ol’ fashion rock’n'roll casts a spell over anyone wary of concepts like “commercial” and “industry.” Mr Graney and his Lurid Yellow Mist were in Adelaide for a few performances and to speak at the recent Festival of Unpopular Culture. We were suitably chuffed to have him play and talk  (and talk some more) on this edition of Radio Adelaide’s The Friday Sessions.

Nick Huggins – Five Lights (Two Bright Lakes)

Following from the endearing bleepy pop of his solo debut The Shipwreck (2007), Five Lights sees acclaimed Melbourne producer Nick Huggins veer away from recent work with Hello Satellites, Otouto and Oscar + Martin to explore a more formless, nuanced collection of ideas. With synth, national guitar and improvised percussion Huggins allows sounds to gel and coalesce over each track, gradually revealing their charm from listen to listen.

Not simply a musical work, the album is accompanied by a several video and prose pieces accessible online.

Radio Adelaide’s The Friday Sessions is proud to present an exclusive performance by Elixir – one of many projects featuring acclaimed vocalist Katie Noonan. She’s done adult pop, she’s done jazz, she’s done classical, in fact she’s done just about everything, and her skilled voice is truly astonishing in person (trust us.) Elixir is the real deal – click below to hear for yourself three talented musicians who make live performance a fine art.

The Friday Sessions was truly blessed to have the awesomely talented Frank Yamma in the studio this week.  Quiet and unassuming in conversation, Frank becomes a devastatingly powerful, confronting and emotive force as soon as the guitar is in his hands. Frank was in Adelaide for the Earthstation festival and we can’t thank him enough for visiting Radio Adelaide and delivering this spellbinding live performance.

Dick Diver – New Start Again (Chapter Music)

Named after an F. Scott Fitzgerald character (we’re a family station), Melbourne’s Dick Diver cut a distinctly Australian path through the swathe of lovably warm garage and lo-fi bands we find ourselves surrounded by. Recorded by Eddie Current Suppression Ring alumni Mikey Young, their debut sees the band switch vocals and songwriting from song to song while never sacrificing coherency, creating something akin to the aural equivalent of sitting on the verandah on a nice afternoon. Go-Betweens references abound but with effortlessly brilliant tracks like ‘On The Bank’, Dick Diver have found a niche of classic Australian songwriting all of their own.

Apparently The origins of Monkey Puzzle Tree date back to the mid-eighteenth century, at a time when Franz Anton Mesmer was sensationalizing Vienna with his controversial enquiries into hypnotic mysticism. If (like me) you have trouble parsing that sentence, ignore it and focus on the next one:  The Adelaide quartet treated the Friday Sessions to a generous helping their sophisticated post-romanticism, and you can hear it for free right here and now!

Big Scary – Vacation

It’s hard to imagine what Melbourne duo Big Scary are taking a Vacation from, as their music has consistently maintained a relentlessly eclectic scope means they’re rarely playing the same thing twice. Consequently, their debut LP proper (distinct from last years collection of previously released seasonal EPs) veers from sweet piano driven indie pop to scuzzy White Stripes channelling pop. Grounding the musical patchwork of the album is the sharp musical chops of both performers and the knowledge that even if they don’t know where they’re going, the pair definitely know what they’re doing.

Tune into the Range and Breakfast this week to hear cuts from the album.

Take four good ol’ south Aussie boys, give em’ some instruments and some testosterone, and voila! It’s The Beards! They’ve taken their pro-facial-hair message as far afield as Europe, but it’s our pleasure today to give them a soapbox in their hometown of Adelaide. John Beardman Jr explains the reasons behind new single You Should Consider Having Sex With A Bearded Man, and gives us a few snippets of info about the band’s forthcoming third album.

Geoffrey O’Connor – Vanity Is Forever (Chapter Music)

Previously known for his fascination with shimmering 60s pop with band The Crayon Fields, Vanity Is Forever sees a newly solo Mr. O’Connor cast his nostalgic eye slightly closer to home with an album absolutely dripping with chunky 80s synth, new romantic posturing and the kind of big gated snare drums last seen under the April Sun In Cuba. Hold the pizza, this cheese is pretty good.
