Thundercat

A wave of silence, then shaking heads threw over the Bakery as Thundercat (aka Stephen Bruner) revealed that the welcoming in Perth was a little crazy.  The day spent running all around town after “QANTAS broke my bass”. 

The search for a replacement was worth it with Thundercat performing to a sea of happy people at The Bakery.  Nicknamed ‘Bass God’ by his fans from the far reaches of the Twitter-verse, Thundercat infected us all with his mad skills on the bass and soothing melancholic vocals.  Aquatic jazz and cosmic sounds from the future, with soul, pop and funk all mashed into electronic fun. "Oh Sheit It's X." will be on many a playlist including yours. 

You can hear all this and more on his acclaimed album Apocalypse, out now on Brainfeeder.

ramen + radiohead

We were blessed  to tackle the Sydney eating scene with the wonderful Ai-Ling of Food Endeavours of the Blue Apocalypse.  Or else, we would never have stumbled upon this hidden gem.  We stopped at Gumshara Ramen before being mesmerised by Radiohead.  Bottom left hand corner is the Super Mega Ramen ... super mega amazing!     

Blanche Dubois

Blanche Dubois are sisters Nadija and Adriana Begovich.  I remember Adri lulling about in high school dreaming about Jeff Buckley, her finger twisting her hair, guitar in reach.  We used to draw sunflowers whilst wearing corduroys talking about boys with long hair.  I always knew she would be famous.  It was her Chuck Taylors. We were all pretty chuffed to be starring in their latest video clip.  Who doesn't want to get airbrushed by Hendra, drink ciders and eat pizza on a Saturday whilst jumping around with your friends.  So much fun and now I know all the words to a song other than Baby Got Back.

beautiful noise

My friend Nai's heart beats in song.  Music transcends her to that happy place.  You can see this in her eyes and it's confirmed in her words.  Happy birthday my beautiful friend.
