Pigeon Australian Tour 2014 Announced

Brisbane electropop outfit Pigeon are set to release their sophomore EP Settle In on 24th January 2014, and offering a first taste in new single ‘Curtain Call’ which has already gained attention from Triple J. The virality of their intelligently crafted Daft Punk medley coupled with the success of The Kite String Tangle (frontman Danny Harley’s solo project) has propelled them onto the stages of Australia’s most notable festivals including Splendour In The Grass, Parklife, BigSound, Fat As Butter, Peats Ridge, and the inaugural NYE On The Hill. Completely self produced, mixed, mastered and recorded, Pigeon have harnessed the sunshine of their northern state with a European flair, bringing the best of both worlds to a dancefloor near you.

I, A Man Announce ‘In Time’ Single Launch


Having been locked away in the studio for most of 2013, recording their debut LP Gravity Wins Again, I, a Man are ready to hit the live scene again with the launch of their second single ‘In Time’ from their long-awaited forthcoming album, due for release this March. The new recordings see the band further expand on their signature hypnotic and expansive indie rock; a lush and dreamy track with understated subtleties that are instantly memorable. I, a Man’s first live show for 2014 will launch their lush new song at an outdoor location and a late afternoon/early evening show on Saturday 8th February at the The Luscombe Street Community Gardens in Brunswick (the home of Hot Diggity Festival). Supporting I, a Man for this unique event is Brunswick psych fuzz cosmonauts Flyying Colours, emerging Melbourne favourites Sunbeam Sound Machine, and DJ Skinny G aka Lucas Skinner (King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard /Atolls) for a very special outdoor show.

Saturday 8th February 2014 – Luscombe Street Community Gardens, Luscombe Street Brunswick, Vic

Drunk Mums Join Port Royal Street Party Lineup, Announce “Top Nosh”

Rock rebels Drunk Mums are joining the lineup of the inaugural Port Royal Street Party, the new music-lined street party that is gifting Port Melbourne’s Fennell Street with a day’s worth of live music at a single outdoor stage, along with a fine selection of food and beverages, on Saturday 18th January. Drunk Mums will be performing in the afternoon slot, from 2.30pm, between the fierce punk sounds of Batpiss and Sydney’s fuzz rock fellows Straight Arrows on a bill topped by Cosmic Psychos, The Meanies, and The Murlocs.

Port Royal Street Party organisers have also the “top nosh” gourmet selections for the day. The Salford Lads Club are opening their door with a great menu (spit roast pig, mushroom burgers, Japanese curry!), along with famed diner Huxtaburger and street food from Uncle Vietnamese. Hosted outside the Matilda Bay Brewing company, expect delicious craft beers and cider to quench your thirst, as well as Sailor Jerry cocktails, wine, and Seven Seeds coffee.
