Rellish Muse Chick

I remember exactly where I was when I heard Violent Soho for the first time...d riving along listening to my usual radio station, suddenly my ears are treated to melodic guitar accompanying a grungy voice that aroused my senses & made me pay  attention to the sonic explosion that is 'Covered In Chrome' from Violent Soho's third full length album. Wanting more I searched out this raucous, high energy bunch of lads from downtown Mansfield in QLD Australia.  The Making of 'Saramona Said' From humble beginnings back in the 90's, Luke Boerdam, James Tidswell, Luke Henery & Michael Richards have stuck together like brothers and produced a rare underground indie rock sound that has a reputation of awesome notoriety within the Aussie music scene. Live shows are outstanding in quality, energy & enthusiasm with crowds often happily out of control in all the excitement. Being privileged enough to have attended several of their performances, I can tell ...

A little apprehensive as I await the arrival of KLP & Young Franco with my colleague...I'm thinking, interviewing a well seasoned interviewer...awkward! As it turns out, I had nothing to worry about! KLP is one of the loveliest artists I have had the opportunity to meet so far...as is Young Franco. Talking about how they started this collaboration & much more, this very candid chat was one of the most fun I have to share with you...enjoy!     "I really like good vocals...I tend to be drawn to that." KLP "Usually the best ideas are the ones that flow naturally." Young Franco "...Before your sensor kicks in...if you just kinda let it flow, I think that's the most genuine...track." KLP   Alt J: So you come from a singer background? KLP: "I started singing literally...the day I was born. My Dad's a musician...so I grew up singing, I was in a girl group signed to Sony when I was a teenager and...travelled aroun...

"If everyone does their thing...if everyone is true to themselves, then society would all fit into place perfectly. There is a possibility of peace on Earth." Jacinko I don't know about you, but I'm all for trying new things. So when I was offered the opportunity to watch a Mexican Flamenco Band play on a yacht on the beautiful Sunshine Coast of Queensland, how could I refuse? Before embarking on this rock star adventure I did some research as I'm none too familiar with this style of music; what I found was...Kallidad are a Mexican Mariachi metal band with a Flamenco twist like fast, furious phonic fire that quickly had my toes tapping. Senor Bang Bang, The Raven and Jacinko have a very individual style not mimicked by anyone, what they have created intuitively is something truly unique and amazing and here's how that all came about....   "it's the love of the guitar..."     Rellish: You've got a really unique genre that yo...

We always hear the term 'When  you find what makes you happy, do that and your life will be a success.' Talking frankly with Hannah Shepherd AKA Airling today, it is apparent this certainly rings true for her. Hannah's earliest memories are filled with musical influence from piano lessons with her beloved Grandmother to the constant tunes her Grandfather whistled, following a musical path was a natural way to quench Hannah's thirst for reaching her life's goals. It's on thing to set a goal...how do you make things happen? " I just am what I am...I would never try to be something I'm not."   ..."People seem to be quite touched with the music, which really made me happy." Alt: Let's go back to the start...why music? Airling: "I haven't found anything else that makes me this happy at all. Like writing songs is the most fulfilling & expressive thing that you know you can do...and I have some kind of thirst for....

Walking into a gig not having any expectations is something different for me; I usually know the artist or have done some research & am familiar with at least some of their catalogue. For Mr. Jake Clemons, however, it's a very different story. All I knew was that he has an impressive resume including touring with my first music crush, "The Boss" Bruce Springsteen, plus other heroes Eddie Vedder and The Roots. Of course, this information was enough to tweak my interest & make me very curious as to what an experience this evening would be.   As Jake walked on stage, he immediately commanded our undivided attention in the most humble way. From the very first chord, his passion and talent had the whole audience captivated. Engaging in banter between songs strengthened the connection with artist and punters, with participation imminent. His acoustic stories are both relevant and inspirational; true reflections of life experience with a score that is compelling. ...

  Oh my The Hi-Boys are so hot on stage, you can feel the canned heat in your heels from the minute they step onto it. To say they are high energy is an understatement, these boys are fiery, raw, rough and ready to knock your socks off with the rockabilly edge that is so undeniably their own. When you've seen them once, you will know that sound anywhere, like the smell of your favourite coffee house in the morning you'll be addicted. For a 4 piece, the intensity of sound that comes at you is an explosion of 50's style rock 'n' roll to leave you breathless but your body will not be able to stop the boogie.   Hailing from the talent-rich Noosa area, the boys have been making us shake, rattle and roll all over Queensland for some time now with their polished, tight sound. Having recently returned from a US tour through California and Nevada, they have been working hard on growing their international audience, so it wasn't all rock star shenanigans, they di...

There has only ever been one consistent thing in my life I have been passionate about...music. I've never been able to master an instrument or even sight read music after 6 years of study, nor can I sing like an angel. I can however, tell you all about the awesome gigs you should be going to, should catch next time they're in your home town, or who has just released something noteworthy to listen to. Music news, new tunes, and up & coming artists are what consumes my every waking moment; I'm one of those people who has a song for every memory since birth, I'm that friend that randomly blurts out song lyrics in any and every situation!   It is a universal language, brings people together and is used to celebrate, commiserate & generally speak on all occasions...can you name the last song that gave you goose bumps?   Feed your like mind with Rellish Muse Chick:  https://www.facebook.com/rellishthemuse?ref=aymt_homepage_panel
