Ninety Nine reasons to tune in...

Laura from Ninety Nine will be in the studio this week. They feature in a unique Wireless Records line up at the Public Office on Saturday September 17.

The kids from The Winter Ship will also be in for a chat ahead of their CD launch at the Northcote Social Club on Thursday September 15. They are definitely among the top live performances from Tyranny Of Distance in the past year.

Saturday 17th September @ The Public Office 100 Adderly St, West Melbourne

A Zillion Translations

Nick Craft was once in a band called Sidewinder. It's been some time since we've seen new stuff from him, and all though his new outfit The Zillions have been banging around for several years, it has taken till now for the stinging EP The Zillions Play Zig Zag Zillionaire to emerge.

J Walker has been very very busy of late. He is the man behind Machine Translations but has also been spotted on a very many albums by artsists like Mike Noga, Richard Easton, Sime Nugent, Splendid, Clare Bowditch and many more besides. He's taken some time out to record a new Machine Translations release, the lovely Wolf On A String EP.

Hear both of these very talented men tell Jacqueline Dee all about their new releases and exactly what they have been doing recently on Monday September 5.

The Zillions play the Rob Roy on Thursday September 8.
Machine Translations play the Northcote Social Club on Saturday September 10.

February 8 :
The Bank Holidays

The Bank Holidays on Holiday
The Bank Holidays are the newest Perth band everyone is talking about.
With origins in Norway, the four players reconvened in Perth and have released their Good Looks To Camera EP on Lost & Lonesome, the label that the Lucksmiths' Mark Manone puts a lot of love into.
The band's first jaunt outside their home state starts in Ballarat and sees them playing at the Corner in support of fellow Perth mates the Panics, on February 11.
The Bank Holidays' accepted mission is to play pop in the semi-twee vein. See jangly guitars, 4-part harmonies and handclaps. If you were to ask them what their influences are they would name The Beach Boys, Belle & Sebastian, The Byrds and The Beatles, and other non-B artists such as Neil Young & The Kinks.
The Bank Holidays play:
Ballarat - The Korova Lounge on Wednesday February 9 (with The Panics)
Geelong - The Barwon Club on Thursday February 10 (with The Panics)
Melbourne - The Corner on Friday February 11 (with The Panics and Faker)
Jacqueline Dee talks to the band before they land on Tuesday February 8.

February 15:
Candle Records and the Small Knives
New Buffalo

Birthday Candles
... or rather, Candles' Birthday! Ten years old this year!
Join Tyranny Of Distance on Tuesday February 15 with Chris Crouch - the label's founder - and Phil from the Small Knives as we help them celebrate ten years of top notch great Australian pop music from one of the most reputable labels in the country.
In ten years Candle Records has brought us quality albums and a stable of unique (and very Australian) bands - including The Lucksmiths, Darren Hanlon, Richard Easton, Weave, The Guild League, Ruck Rover and The Mabels - in over 80 releases and forged its own recognisable sound. So established and consistent is the label that the term Candle has all but become an adjective in the local independent music scene.
To celebrate this milestone Candle presents its annual showcase at the Corner Hotel. Sharing the lyrical genius, superb melodies and great live performances of the artists that have helped the label in its local and international success, Candle have extended the showcase to a double whammy of Candle bands over two unique nights in February - Friday 18th and Saturday 19th. Doubling as a launch pad for the Lucksmiths' latest offering The Chapter In Your Life Entitled San Francisco EP, the line up looks a little like this:
Friday February 18: The Lucksmiths, Jodi Phillis, Ruck Rover, The Mabels, The Small Knives & Golden Rough (duo)
Saturday February 19: Darren Hanlon, The Guild League, Anthony Atkinson, Rob Clarkson, Richard Easton & Wes Davidson
The EP and tickets for the shows are available now.
Chris from Candle Records and Phil from the Small Knives visit PBS on February 15.

February 22:
Wolf & Cub
Season

The Season Of The Wolf
Okay, so there we all know there a truckload of wolf bands around at the moment. What you may not know is that the best of the local wolves are Wolf & Cub: a fourtet from Adelaide whose music is the spoilt only child of At The Drive In and the Happy Mondays. Their Targets EP will need no introduction to regular Tyranny listeners, and their live show is tighter than their pants; the pummelling dual percussion team hit whatever is in front of them against a howling guitar and vocal that are suitably wild and loose.
The boys will be supporting Death From Above, but before they hit town, they'll be having a chat to Jacqueline Dee on Tuesday February 22.

Also ready to kick off an East Coast tour are Melbourne instrumentalists Season. Leaving awards and soundtracks in their wake, their debut album Avatar was released in 2004 and is largely awash with instrumental compositions looming languidly in the tradition of International Karate, Mogwai, Explosions In The Sky, Silver Ray, New Zealand’s High Dependency Unit, and The Dirty Three.
The tour kicks off on February 26 at the Rob Roy and they'll be in to talk to it up on Tuesday February 22.

Wolf & Cub have shows with Death From Above in February

Australia Day Eve

Just for something slightly different, Tyranny Of Distance will be featuring entirely Australian artists on this week's show on Australia Day Eve.

For starters, Jamie Stevens of internationally acclaimed electronic act Infusion has a chat about the best audiences in the world, their Big Day Out expectations and the new album - Six Feet Above Yesterday.

From the Crayon Fields, Geoff will be in the studio to spin a selection of his all time favourite Australian tunes and tell us a bit about his other outfit, the Sly Hats, who are joining an all star line up at the Pony in a big hearted Australia Day tsunami benefit effort.
Other bands on the bill include: The Exotics, First Time Hookers, Tri-State Lovers, The Panel Of Judges, On and 72 Blues. All proceeds go to Oxfam/Community Aid Abroad.

As well...
Cec from the Mess Hall (aka the Cec Hall) will be calling in from the Big Day Out touring machine with some of his choice Australian favourites, and we'll have PBS' very own Reggie Ray of 72 Blues and Konqistador fame with his cosmopolitan perspective too. More great Aussie music than you can poke a boomerang at. Crikey!!

Talk then...

Tim Guy blazes in to PBS

Tim Guy - whose album Blazey is one hell of a gem waiting to be discovered - is in town this week for a couple of shows; catch him while you can!

Blazey is the first project for Bic Runga's label Nu Shoo. After receiving Tim's demo during a soundcheck one day, Bic fell in love with the recordings and decided to lend her production and vocal talents to the songs. The result is Blazey - 10 gorgeous songs, from the quaint to the melancholy, with divine harmonies and accomplished guests including Conrad Standish of The Devastations and Luxedo and composer Ed McWilliams who has worked with Neil Finn. Tim's voice carries the kind of honesty heard in Alan Sparhawk (Low) or Ben Lee and Evan Dando's finer moments.

This week Tim Guy is bringing his guitar, some tunes and a friend into the studio for some live action. Listen in Tuesday from 11am and let him charm your senses.
