Hanging at least nine, possiblyten.
Wow.

Whoa.
Mine's hanging two to a three.
I didn't give you a unit.
Oh, true.
Microns.
Millimeters.
Plank length.
The smallest measurable unit inthe universe.
(00:22):
Plank length?
Yeah.
What's that?
It's like a four by two.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
It's about, you know, this big.
Wow, mine's about one by two.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Two's the width.
Damn, we love a Lego block, man.
We do.
Yeah, it's three anyway, itdoesn't matter.
(00:43):
Let's not let's not go there.
Let's not.
It's been a big week as per theusual.
Bit on around the traps.
We've seen some live music overthe weekend.
Um, we've got plenty more oflive music to coming up coming
up with tour announcements andstuff like that.
This is the first time we'veever done like a forward seller
what's on the show.
This is this is weird.
I think it has.
Coming up on 78 amped.
Well, before we dive intoeverything, Maxwell, we should
(01:06):
welcome the listener.
Kiddo.
No, you just the one, just thatone guy who's always there for
us.
You do that every time, yeah.
Yeah.
Hello.
Kiddo.
We are an establishedfriendship.
I wasn't gonna say podcast,because that's not true.
Yeah, we're very unestablished,I'd say.
(01:27):
Very much so.
Rogue.
Loose.
Rogue.
Yeah.
Rogue one.
Rouge, if you can't spell.
Reguo.
Ragu.
I don't like a duck ragu or alamb ragu.
Yeah, can I get the lamb rogue,please?
Sambo.
Yes.
Important question.
If you're going to a arestaurant of the Italiano
version.
Yes.
(01:47):
Obviously classic pastas.
I don't want any like housespecialties or anything like
that.
Obviously classic pastas.
What are you ordering?
Well, I don't do a creamyoption.
Not crazy home.
The old crematorium.
Happy with that one, were you?
Yeah.
It beats itself and it turns toash.
(02:10):
Shout out Pompeii.
Um Pumpy.
Rumpy Pumpy.
Uh I go for more of atomato-based option.
Maybe a maybe a vodka pasta.
Perhaps.
Honestly, nothing beats a bit ofa restaurant spag bowl.
Oh, a spaggy bowl.
Yeah, because they do it alittle bit nicer.
The mince is nice and textured.
(02:31):
You get that, usually get thatpork beef blend.
You do a bit of a 50-50.
Bit of this, bit of that in themeat variety.
Bit of milk in there.
Also important at a spaghettibowl.
It is.
At home, a bit of sugar, a bitof barbecue sauce as well.
Yeah, it adds a bit of umami.
Sometimes you just need a littlebit of that fifth flavour, Sam.
You do.
And what about you?
What do you go for?
Look, I don't I do fuck with aragu, I won't lie.
(02:52):
I do quite enjoy a ragu.
Or I like a proper carbonara.
Not like one that's got likecream in it, but like it's like
guanciale, egg yolks, pecorinoromano, delish.
Pecorino romano.
Yeah, raised.
You beat me to it.
Roman.
Brad.
Brad's also Brad's brother.
Also Brad's brother.
(03:13):
Yeah.
What's his fucking name in theshow?
Um who knows?
Doesn't fucking matter.
Peter.
Honestly, I got no idea.
But with that in mind, Maxwell,let's not keep the people
waiting.
Let's give them some new musicto listen to.
Fresh Italian tunes, Sam, shallwe?
This one's called Nona's Pantry.
His tunes are all Al fuckingdente.
(03:33):
That was a shout out to Tysonfor breaking through.
Nona's trolley.
These songs are all urethral.
Shout out to it.
Still gets me out.
That's good.
Honestly, but it's some of thebest stuff I've ever heard.
I was crying while editingbecause it's not just the
urethral.
It's when he goes in a secondtime, he's like, eupheric.
(03:56):
That was if listeners, if youhaven't gone and listened to the
drop that came out of theweekend with uh the breaking
through pod, Brenton and Tyson,lovely lads, we talk about uh
some new bands that you guys,new Australian bands that you
guys need to hear about.
And the the thing was we weregonna do 10.
We got cut off halfway throughbecause a guy walked in and so
we only got eight.
But um I yeah, just the youcould tell that we'd had
(04:17):
probably had two pints eachbecause we were just a little
bit loose, just a little bitloose.
I had a few too many Coke nosugars.
It was bouncing off the walls.
That was Randy.
Do you want to start us,Maxwell?
Let's start us off, Sam.
Anthony Gonzalez is back, Sam.
And who's that?
You're probably better knowingbetter as M83.
Yeah, there we go.
That's good, that's got himtickled.
(04:38):
Um, he's gonna drop his 10thalbum a little later this this
month, and this is the onlysingle so far.
It's called Blister Sunrise.
Um, you know, obviously withHurry Up We're Dreaming, he
nailed the cinematic sound.
I think that he kind of reallyplayed around with it a lot in
his most recent album, Fantasy.
But think big soaring, bigsynths.
This is gonna make one hell of alate night crash out drive song.
(05:00):
Okay.
Hit me.
(05:34):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wall of noise.
Yeah, yeah.
Not fucking around, is he?
Not wall of sound, which is notour podcast.
Shout out, Browning.
The king.
The king.
Maxwell, it's been sad and sexyfor me this week.
Sad and sexy summer, Sam.
Sad and sexy summer.
That's sick.
Yeah, bit of sad, bit of sexy, abit of everything in between.
(05:55):
But the first song I'm gonnabring, ah, I've got a forearm
cramp.
I told you, a lot of cramp athome.
I don't use my left hand.
Irrelevant.
Some stranger on the turb.
This song is called Green Room.
It's by Holy Water, who I'vebrought to the show before.
Holy water without the E on theend.
What?
(06:16):
There's no E at the end of wateror holy.
W-A-T-R.
Oh, okay.
So not at the end.
It's not W-A-T-E-R-E.
At 80%, cut off the E.
Yeah, yeah.
That's probably the better oneto do.
Uh it's called Green Room.
It's sort of similar to likeSatchy 6 in like sexy heavy.
Sexy sad, as you said before.
Sexy sad.
(06:37):
So I'm just gonna give you alittle bit of a taste.
Please.
Let me get a little look atthat, Sam.
Look at that, I don't know.
Little look at that.
SPEAKER_02 (06:46):
Let me give you the Do you just let me stop?
SPEAKER_00 (07:11):
It's got a certain thickness that I admire, Sam.
And the song does too.
This is so bad.
We're on one early.
We're on one early.
Apologies, listeners.
Oh, it's Gerthy in all the rightways.
Sonically.
Last year we chatted with Wafiaat Big Sound and she talked
about how she was recording newmusic and playing with a lot of
uh different sounds that wemight not have really heard
(07:33):
about.
This new song is from uh her,obviously.
Uh it's pretty baller, it's apretty different sound.
It's called Girl Is a Gun.
Think kind of like Charlie XCXrock music meets the artist
Bournes.
No idea.
Great, don't worry about it.
Born Supremacy, Born Identity.
No, no, no.
Big, like chunky kind of pop, alittle bit.
(07:55):
I'm not gonna say rocky, likepower pop kind of thing.
Um, and obviously wafia isreally like distinctive, awesome
vocal lines on top.
So yeah, this is Girl is a gunby Wafia.
My wafia.
(08:38):
Edging.
That's a nightmare to try andI'm just gonna I'm just gonna
edge you with that one.
That was a nightmare to try andkeep up with time-wise.
Yeah.
If you I suppose if you havecoming on cold, you're like,
ooh.
What's going on?
Was it 3-4?
No, no, it was four four.
It's just doing a lot of like itwas like it was slightly swung.
It was like da da da da da da dada.
Yeah.
Yeah, had that probably like12-8 kind of thing going on.
Yeah, one of my favoritefractions.
(09:01):
Spirit Box dropped a new songcalled Morning, as in I'm in
morning.
Oh, not like good morning.
No, it's Spirit Box, of courseit's true.
Yeah.
But this song has copped a bitof slack unfairly, I feel,
because they've tuned up.
Bit of slack?
A bit of flack.
Yeah, flack.
Yeah, cool.
Just checking.
No.
It's copped a loose rope.
(09:21):
Just give me some slack, man.
We're catching so much slack.
Oh man, the slack cannons, thefly the planes are flying over.
KMS.
Um, it's in drop C, which iscrazy for Spirit Box.
Okay.
But it's a bit of an emo banger,bit of a ballad vibe.
(09:42):
Bit slower, not as heavy asyou'd hear spirit box before.
So naturally, I really liked it.
Let's do it.
Let's go spirit boxing.
(10:16):
Not bad.
Not bad.
Good size.
I like that.
I like that.
And obviously, uh playing goodthings festival, they're not
playing sideshows.
Spoiler alert.
But it's a forward sell.
We've got the sideshows.
Well, so do you now, but we'lltalk about them anyway.
Everyone has them.
You get a sideshow.
Spirit Box doesn't get asideshow.
Needle in Biscuit.
(10:37):
Sam, my last song.
Speaking of good sound, goodsound, good sound, good things,
big sound, good things,different things, and I'm
talking about good things.
How good's autism?
Mate, not great.
My vaccine schedule though, upto date.
Uh speaking of good things, Sam.
House of Protection on thatlineup.
And I they're a band that Ididn't know much about before.
(10:58):
And I thought, you know what?
I'm gonna start looking ahead atthe good things lineup, see what
I need to know.
And I'll be honest, I'm becomingquite a fan.
So they're kind of like a bitrock, a bit metal, a bit
electronic.
Yep.
Um, but like electronic in likea almost like a party kind of
electronic way.
This song is called Fire.
Um, to me, this feels like themeeting place of Pendulum, the
(11:19):
bloody beatroots, and like earlynothing but thieves.
Okay.
So make of that what you will.
Have a listen.
Fire by House of Protection,LFJ.
SPEAKER_02 (11:53):
You fucked you lied! What the fuck do you mean?
SPEAKER_00 (11:57):
It's a bit rage against the machine, too.
A little bit, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Like that.
I'm gonna bring another divisiveband.
Well, not another one, they area divisive band to Metal fans,
and that is President.
Ah, yes.
So they dropped uh, well, forthose that don't know, everyone
knows President, the maskedband.
Busted.
I mean President.
Busted.
(12:19):
This nut.
It was the gap.
It was the gap between the setupand the payoff.
I thought you'd like that.
Let's get back to President.
Anyway.
Uh Blood of Your Empire is a newalbum, and people.
I don't know.
People love or hate President,there's no in between.
But they have a song called ThisWill Divide Us, and it is
(12:39):
divisive.
It is literally.
It's synthy, it's not at allheavy, it's quite uh it's quite
sad.
It's not even melancholy, it'sjust sad.
Okay.
Um, and it's just very, verypretty.
unknown (12:54):
Let's go.
SPEAKER_00 (13:28):
What?
I don't dislike it.
I just I don't I didn't I reallydidn't expect it, that's for
sure.
No, I think President surprisedpeople a lot because their songs
are different.
And yeah, you you come inthinking one thing and then they
hit you with another and youdon't know how to feel about it.
Hit us with the trap beat mumblerap.
It feels like 2015.
(13:49):
Yeah, a little bit.
Yeah.
And he's intentionally liketaking half-step notes vocally,
and it like it throws you alittle bit.
Yeah.
TBD.
I'll come back to you on thatone.
I'll take those questions onnotice.
Thank you.
As I said at the top of the, wedid some uh we did the live show
each this weekend.
I think we should dive in, getthrough it.
Electric Cowboy.
(14:10):
I saw them at the River Stage onSaturday night.
And if ADHD was a live set, itwas the Electric Cowboy set.
Um missed cold rain, sadly.
Lost track of time, to beperfectly honest.
Gets in the big jobs.
But I checked out Ice DineKills, not a band that I've been
a fan of for the entirety of mylife.
(14:32):
It's been a little while.
Still not a fan, but incrediblyheavy, incredibly tight.
And from a live perspective,their Halloween and horror I
guess, shtick.
Yeah.
Was kind of cool.
Very theatrical.
Very theatrical.
Always something going on onstage.
They had Art the Clown, they hadGhost Face from Scream, they had
(14:52):
others that I didn't recognisebecause I don't like being
intentionally scared.
What's the fucking point ofwatching?
Anyway, I just don't likehorror.
Sounds like a little whippet,he's always scared.
He walks around me like oh no.
The light turned red.
Yeah.
Jump my own shadow.
Someone told me my apartment'shaunted.
Your apartment's like four yearsold.
(15:12):
Yeah, but someone told methey've seen a ghost in my
apartment.
And I haven't been able to sleepproperly since.
They're like, I I I felt it kindof in the the back of your
apartment where your kitchen is.
I was like, but I cook eggs inthere.
It was um enough to I have avery long hallway, so walking
from the kitchen to Bragg.
(15:34):
I do.
It's just everything is off thehallway.
The hallway is my apartment.
That's true.
You've got you've got a hallwaywith stuff off it.
Yeah, I do.
I have a hallway with a bunch ofright turns.
But walking down that hallwayknowing the ghost is behind me,
or walk the other way.
Walk backwards.
Walk backwards, yeah.
Then his friend is from theother side.
They don't have wall boundarieslike we do.
(15:57):
That's true.
But anyway, um, electriccallboy, yeah.
It was Iceland kills,surprisingly good.
Went into Electric Cowboy andthey just had a bit of
everything.
They opened up um with a fewhits.
They played hyper hyper reallyearly.
Great song.
They're just their commitment tolike costume changes, keeping
the set fresh.
(16:18):
They went from heavy into likeEuro dance.
They had a full like hard stylebreakdown section where they
were covering all the smallthings, let the body sit the
floor.
Then they went into like reallyheavy stuff from their new
album, which you can hear aboutsoon with our interview with
Nico and Kevin.
About Tansnade.
Tunsnide and Max speaking very,very good.
(16:42):
Very sorry, I went New Zealand.
Speaking very good English.
Max spoke very good German, butnot so much the English side.
English bit carded.
Um but then they went into theheavy stuff and then they came
out dressed as like a boy band.
They covered I Want It That Wayby Backstreet Boys.
(17:03):
And then uh Every Time WeTouched, Cascader tune, and then
they came out and played alltheir bangers like we got the
moves, rata tata.
Like it was so fun.
Hell yeah.
Our poor photographer, Liam.
I was standing next to him everysong.
I was like, What'd you think ofthat?
Uh you don't know what to expectwith the next song.
(17:23):
And his poor face was just a manwho self-describes not very fun,
which is quite funny because Ithink he's quite fun.
But he just he's like, I'm not,I'm not really a fun guy.
It's like Liam, brother.
Let's have a chat, eh?
We love you, Liam.
And I think he had fun overall.
So yeah.
(17:44):
You can't ask for much more thanthat.
We broke we broke him out.
We broke him in.
Uh Sam.
On the other hand, I went toBugs, uh, their show, uh, their
lap one of their last two shows.
I went to the Thursday nightshow.
Obviously, extremely sad andheavy the circumstances of the
show, but Bugs put on one hellof a performance.
Um, before they came on, uh,they they did have a couple of
(18:06):
supports, but I only made itthere in time to see Sam Cromack
from Ballpark Music.
He was joined by Jen, also fromBallpark Music, and her partner,
who was on the drums.
They just basically playedcovers.
They said, like, we just talkedto people who were playing
tonight and asked them whatsongs I wanted to cover.
So there's a couple of ballparkmusic tracks, a couple of like,
you know, classic Brizzynumbers.
They closed with a rendition ofFreak by Silver Chair.
Good fun.
Love it.
Then Bugs came on.
(18:26):
They were dressed in the suitsthat they bought for Jordan's
recent wedding, which is reallylovely.
Yeah, nice.
And then they just played a hellof a set, like some new tracks,
some stuff in the new album,some classics.
They closed out with their likea version cover of Charlie by
Maul Rat.
Um, it was awesome, it waswholesome.
It felt like it was honoringJordan without making it feel
like a really heavy, sad, soursend-off kind of thing.
(18:49):
Um, just an incredible show.
Shout out to a friend of theshow, Danica, who came and said
hello, uh, had a chat for the uhfor the time.
She's over here all the way fromPerth.
Um, she loves the band, so sheshe came over for both shows.
Um, but yeah, just a just afucking a good time, but sad
surrounds, you know, the contextwas sad.
And if you don't know about thecontext, you can learn more next
(19:12):
week when we chat to all of Bugson the podcast.
The forward sells great thisweek, Sam.
Very forward and verynewsreader.
It is very newsreader.
Uh, we've got plenty of newtours that have just been
announced this last week, solet's go through some of them.
Do you want to kick us off?
You should never say neverbecause the fray said it better.
unknown (19:32):
That was really good.
SPEAKER_00 (19:34):
It wasn't that good.
It was the rhyme.
Uh yes, the fray, Sam.
They've announced the summer ofa light tour in 2027 coming to
Melbourne, Wollongong, the bighitters, Sydney, and Auckland,
brew.
Yes, and then following up withfestival shows.
With festival shows, so they'replaying Torquay, Perth, Lake
(19:54):
Macquarie, and Sandstone Point.
But they're coming withdifferent bands.
So they're bringing DashboardConfessional and Rachel Fahim to
Summer of Light.
And then on the festival run,they're bringing Bastille.
Hell yeah.
I'd go for Bastille.
Bastille, DashboardConfessional, again, Killing
Heidi and Little Birdie.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Who is Bertie's little sister?
(20:15):
Um, I'll be honest, Bastille,way underrated band.
Pompeii.
Well, I mean, they've gotthey've got multiple bangers.
Like Pompeii, great song, don'tbe wrong.
But I think one of those bandsthat live would be amazing.
Amazing.
Amazing.
They'd be forking, amazing.
But they're not the only bands,Maxwell.
Mate, uh, Fat Boy Slim has justannounced a tour as well.
(20:36):
Going to Esplanade Park in Frio,uh, doing three nights of the
carriage works in Sydney, SouthBank here in Brizzy, and then
two nights of the underpass inMelbourne between the 3rd and
the 13th of March.
Last time I saw Fat Boy Slim wasat the River Sage.
It was an incredible show.
It's exactly what you want fromFat Boy Slim.
There's enough Fat Boy Slim hitsthat you're like, fuck yeah.
He mixes in just hits from allthroughout.
(20:57):
Like he'll he'll mix in like afully modern, trappy like dance
track, and then he'll throw itback to some soul number from
like whenever.
And the way that he just DJsthose sets is so good.
The vibes are so high.
Do yourself a favor, people.
It is such a good show.
The man has said it himself.
This is that's not a question,it's an order.
Well, the other one, Maxwell,uh, I might be jumping in here,
(21:18):
but Empire of the Sun announceda big tour as well.
Ask that god afterlife tour,hitting Auckland, Brisbane,
Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, andPerth from Feb uh 19th to March
6th.
Yes.
That'll be large.
That will be large.
I'm glad that they've done it inthat that order.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Three.
Whoa.
(21:38):
Four.
You need to stop before you hurtyourself or somebody you love.
Is that a few?
If I were some, I would sayminimum five or six bangers.
I was gonna say six or seven,but then I pulled out at the
end.
And Sam, uh, a free one to wrapit up.
We love that.
Love some free shows.
Valley Fiesta is back inOctober, the long weekend up
here in Brizzy, just down on thestreet out.
(22:00):
There, um, absolutely stackedbecause it is a free festival.
You're looking at uh Baker Boy,Radium Doll, Sleeper Zoid,
Becker Hatch, Selve, the Gnomes,Full Moon, Full Flower Moon
Band, and Teardrive.
I got so confused, and I waslike, What lineup are you
looking at?
I'm looking at the 2025 one.
Awesome.
Now that's I'm pretty sure it'shockey dad, psycho.
(22:20):
Not quite.
No, that was last year.
That was last year.
Wow.
They've also got a separate 18plus stage at the bright side
with people like Ghost Mutt, uh,Bad Posture, Cody, Positive
Spin, and a heap more.
Like, we haven't even goneprobably through half the lineup
there on both stages.
So I would say do yourself afavor.
It's free.
You have nothing to lose.
So good.
Get down to the uh to the valueand watch all that unfold.
(22:41):
100%.
Should we get to the big onethough, Maxwell?
Because good things festivalsideshows have dropped.
Shit, someone should pick themup.
From the airport, Sam.
No, just leave it dead.
All right, do you want to runthe first few?
Let's do it.
So if you're in Brisbane, toughtits.
(23:02):
Um there's not nothing.
Adelaide got more than you.
Yeah, but Adelaide doesn't get atour, like the festival.
Yeah, but yeah, fair.
All American rejects playingMelbourne, Millencolin playing
Melbourne and Brisbane.
Bill Murray, yeah, headingacross the Dutch.
Unz only.
Unz only.
So he is an exclusive to goodthings, technically.
(23:25):
Yep, yep.
And then playing Wellington andAuckland, then you got Ministry,
farewell in Australia, playingSydney and Adelaide.
Fair.
Um, the one I'm excited for,Max.
I thought this would be so faroff your alley.
Then I'm gonna handball it over.
So one of the only ones Brisbanedo get is fucking enormous.
I'm talking POD with OceanGrove, hitting Brisbane,
(23:51):
Adelaide, and Melbourne.
Yep.
And as far as 90s new metalgoes, Ocean Grove just need to
play Rhapsody tapes in full.
It's not gonna happen.
No, it won't.
Just Thunderdome.
That's all I need.
Beers.
Yeah, fair play.
Uh from there, Devil West Pradaand Future Palace are playing
Adelaide Brisbane.
All them witches are playingAdelaide Melbourne.
(24:12):
Cami Keo and Lolo are playingSydney, Brisbane, Melbourne.
Home team, Perth, Sydney,Melbourne.

I need to get a bit more acrossthat.
I'm playing Melbourne only.
Black Queen and Fever Daydreamplaying uh Perth and Melbourne.
Locked Shut Lock Locked Shut.
Sorry, my my mouth just shut thefuck up.
(24:32):
Locked Shut is playing AdelaideMelbourne and Sydney and
Viennova are closing it out witha Sydney Melbourne run.
Plenty to get to.
Yes.
Particularly if you're in Sydneyand Melbourne.
If you're one of those peoplethat complains about good things
festival ticket prices, try andgo to all the sideshows.
Yeah.
Singularly.
Yeah.
Pay them all collectively.
And then look at the price andthen go, oh, good things
(24:55):
actually isn't too bad a ticketcost.
Yes.
Um, considering it let's talkBrisbane.
Bill Murray, All AmericanRejects.
I'd say three or four of thesebands could play something like
the River Stage.
Minimum price for the RiverStage is 150 bucks.
Yeah.
Oh, well, yeah, sometimes youget like an eight, you might get
(25:16):
lucky with an 80 or somethinglike that.
Rare.
Rare, but it's possible.
About 100 bucks.
Yeah, let's call it 100.
So even if you saw two of them,it's pretty much the cost of
things tickets.
Yeah, yeah.
Um, but anyway.
Throwing a POD and an oceangrove, Sam.
I can't wait to spend like$60 onthat ticket.
No, I'm genuinely so excited forPOD.
I was listening to them theother day.
I was like, fuck, this is gonnabe so sick.
(25:37):
I think I was listening to GoingIn What's this on called?
Going in a roll.
I can sing it.
Going in blind, not dry.
Spit on it first, yeah.
Sam.
What?
This is your part.
Yeah, I know.
We're getting to the suitcase.
(25:57):
Yeah.
Zip zip.

Can you just come with us and uhit was Miss Corby?
Just into the inspection room ifyou don't want.

Anyway, actually, I'm gonnastart with the one for you,
(26:19):
Maxwell.

We're gonna get to bands thatdeserve more flowers, part two,
after the success of it lastweek.
But to start out, I'm gonna putit to you, Kingpin.
Don't that at all?
I didn't think you would.
Maxwell, a desert island wouldyou rather?
Gonna start out with a couple ofyour favourites.
(26:41):
Yeah, I'll start.
And then we'll getprogressively.
We'll get progressively closerto water or food.
We'll get progressively worse orharder to choose from.
Sorry, to kind of clarify therules.
Is this um it's desert islanddiscs.
I get to keep I'm bringing themusic with me.
It's not like the band.
You have to listen to this bandfor the entirety of your cool.
Yeah, yeah.
Your life.
Yeah, yeah, cool, cool, cool.
(27:02):
Green Day or Blink 182?
I'm gonna go I'm gonna go GreenDay.
Big call.
I think I obviously do loveBlink.
I think there's more depth inthe Green Day discography
though.
Five sauce or the Wombards?
Uh I'll go the Wombards.
Alright.
Ethylcane or cirrhos?
(27:23):
Ooh.
This is if it's getting bad onthe island and I need a way out.
Uh ethyl cane.
Bit more ambience.
Bit more um yeah.
I could make a rope out of flax,I guess.
Breaking Benjamin or MGK.
(27:45):
Ah, breaking Benjamin,absolutely.
Good choice.
I thought for a second you weregonna go the other way just to
spite me.
I was like, don't.
My laptop will be broken.
Skrillex or Fred again?
I'm gonna Skrillex.
Bit less repetitive.
Well, I just think I don't thinkI'd want ambient too much on the
uh on the island.
(28:05):
Cutting more shapes in a bodylights get demo.
True.
Yeah.
And the last one, Maxwell.
And this is really a Sophie'schoice.
This is the real stumper.
This is the big one for you.
Mate, call me in Healy.
He's got me on the stumps here.
Nickelback.
Yep.
Or Jojo Siwa.
Ooh.
Can I take option three and walkinto the ocean with rocks in my
pocket?
(28:27):
Uh Jojo Siwa, Sam.
That's fucked.
Dream guest on my podcast.
Dream guest on my podcast?
I'll give it to Nickelback.
Just that's that's diabolicalfrom you.
That was diabolical, Sam.
That was diabolical.
Now you mentioned bands whodeserve more flowers.
I'm assuming number one, thekillers.
They already have a front manwho's all flowers.
(28:47):
Uh Marley Saris, number two, shecan buy herself flowers, Sam.
How'd you know?
Number three, Vlossom.
My brethren.
Are you keeping it loose?
Hanging at least nine, possiblyten.
Wow.
I know.
Whoa.
Mine's hanging two to a three.
I didn't give you a unit.
Oh, true.
Microns.
Millimeters.
Plank length.
The smallest measurable unit inthe universe.
(00:22):
Plank length?
Yeah.
What's that?
It's like a four by two.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
It's about, you know, this big.
Wow, mine's about one by two.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Two's the width.
Damn, we love a Lego block, man.
We do.
Yeah, it's three anyway, itdoesn't matter.
(00:43):
Let's not let's not go there.
Let's not.
It's been a big week as per theusual.
Bit on around the traps.
We've seen some live music overthe weekend.
Um, we've got plenty more oflive music to coming up coming
up with tour announcements andstuff like that.
This is the first time we'veever done like a forward seller
what's on the show.
This is this is weird.
I think it has.
Coming up on 78 amped.
Well, before we dive intoeverything, Maxwell, we should
(01:06):
welcome the listener.
Kiddo.
No, you just the one, just thatone guy who's always there for
us.
You do that every time, yeah.
Yeah.
Hello.
Kiddo.
We are an establishedfriendship.
I wasn't gonna say podcast,because that's not true.
Yeah, we're very unestablished,I'd say.
(01:27):
Very much so.
Rogue.
Loose.
Rogue.
Yeah.
Rogue one.
Rouge, if you can't spell.
Reguo.
Ragu.
I don't like a duck ragu or alamb ragu.
Yeah, can I get the lamb rogue,please?
Sambo.
Yes.
Important question.
If you're going to a arestaurant of the Italiano
version.
Yes.
(01:47):
Obviously classic pastas.
I don't want any like housespecialties or anything like
that.
Obviously classic pastas.
What are you ordering?
Well, I don't do a creamyoption.
Not crazy home.
The old crematorium.
Happy with that one, were you?
Yeah.
It beats itself and it turns toash.
(02:10):
Shout out Pompeii.
Um Pumpy.
Rumpy Pumpy.
Uh I go for more of atomato-based option.
Maybe a maybe a vodka pasta.
Perhaps.
Honestly, nothing beats a bit ofa restaurant spag bowl.
Oh, a spaggy bowl.
Yeah, because they do it alittle bit nicer.
The mince is nice and textured.
(02:31):
You get that, usually get thatpork beef blend.
You do a bit of a 50-50.
Bit of this, bit of that in themeat variety.
Bit of milk in there.
Also important at a spaghettibowl.
It is.
At home, a bit of sugar, a bitof barbecue sauce as well.
Yeah, it adds a bit of umami.
Sometimes you just need a littlebit of that fifth flavour, Sam.
You do.
And what about you?
What do you go for?
Look, I don't I do fuck with aragu, I won't lie.
(02:52):
I do quite enjoy a ragu.
Or I like a proper carbonara.
Not like one that's got likecream in it, but like it's like
guanciale, egg yolks, pecorinoromano, delish.
Pecorino romano.
Yeah, raised.
You beat me to it.
Roman.
Brad.
Brad's also Brad's brother.
Also Brad's brother.
(03:13):
Yeah.
What's his fucking name in theshow?
Um who knows?
Doesn't fucking matter.
Peter.
Honestly, I got no idea.
But with that in mind, Maxwell,let's not keep the people
waiting.
Let's give them some new musicto listen to.
Fresh Italian tunes, Sam, shallwe?
This one's called Nona's Pantry.
His tunes are all Al fuckingdente.
(03:33):
That was a shout out to Tysonfor breaking through.
Nona's trolley.
These songs are all urethral.
Shout out to it.
Still gets me out.
That's good.
Honestly, but it's some of thebest stuff I've ever heard.
I was crying while editingbecause it's not just the
urethral.
It's when he goes in a secondtime, he's like, eupheric.
(03:56):
That was if listeners, if youhaven't gone and listened to the
drop that came out of theweekend with uh the breaking
through pod, Brenton and Tyson,lovely lads, we talk about uh
some new bands that you guys,new Australian bands that you
guys need to hear about.
And the the thing was we weregonna do 10.
We got cut off halfway throughbecause a guy walked in and so
we only got eight.
But um I yeah, just the youcould tell that we'd had
(04:17):
probably had two pints eachbecause we were just a little
bit loose, just a little bitloose.
I had a few too many Coke nosugars.
It was bouncing off the walls.
That was Randy.
Do you want to start us,Maxwell?
Let's start us off, Sam.
Anthony Gonzalez is back, Sam.
And who's that?
You're probably better knowingbetter as M83.
Yeah, there we go.
That's good, that's got himtickled.
(04:38):
Um, he's gonna drop his 10thalbum a little later this this
month, and this is the onlysingle so far.
It's called Blister Sunrise.
Um, you know, obviously withHurry Up We're Dreaming, he
nailed the cinematic sound.
I think that he kind of reallyplayed around with it a lot in
his most recent album, Fantasy.
But think big soaring, bigsynths.
This is gonna make one hell of alate night crash out drive song.
(05:00):
Okay.
Hit me.
(05:34):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wall of noise.
Yeah, yeah.
Not fucking around, is he?
Not wall of sound, which is notour podcast.
Shout out, Browning.
The king.
The king.
Maxwell, it's been sad and sexyfor me this week.
Sad and sexy summer, Sam.
Sad and sexy summer.
That's sick.
Yeah, bit of sad, bit of sexy, abit of everything in between.
(05:55):
But the first song I'm gonnabring, ah, I've got a forearm
cramp.
I told you, a lot of cramp athome.
I don't use my left hand.
Irrelevant.
Some stranger on the turb.
This song is called Green Room.
It's by Holy Water, who I'vebrought to the show before.
Holy water without the E on theend.
What?
(06:16):
There's no E at the end of wateror holy.
W-A-T-R.
Oh, okay.
So not at the end.
It's not W-A-T-E-R-E.
At 80%, cut off the E.
Yeah, yeah.
That's probably the better oneto do.
Uh it's called Green Room.
It's sort of similar to likeSatchy 6 in like sexy heavy.
Sexy sad, as you said before.
Sexy sad.
(06:37):
So I'm just gonna give you alittle bit of a taste.
Please.
Let me get a little look atthat, Sam.
Look at that, I don't know.
Little look at that.
SPEAKER_02 (06:46):
Let me give you the Do you just let me stop?
SPEAKER_00 (07:11):
It's got a certain thickness that I admire, Sam.
And the song does too.
This is so bad.
We're on one early.
We're on one early.
Apologies, listeners.
Oh, it's Gerthy in all the rightways.
Sonically.
Last year we chatted with Wafiaat Big Sound and she talked
about how she was recording newmusic and playing with a lot of
uh different sounds that wemight not have really heard
(07:33):
about.
This new song is from uh her,obviously.
Uh it's pretty baller, it's apretty different sound.
It's called Girl Is a Gun.
Think kind of like Charlie XCXrock music meets the artist
Bournes.
No idea.
Great, don't worry about it.
Born Supremacy, Born Identity.
No, no, no.
Big, like chunky kind of pop, alittle bit.
(07:55):
I'm not gonna say rocky, likepower pop kind of thing.
Um, and obviously wafia isreally like distinctive, awesome
vocal lines on top.
So yeah, this is Girl is a gunby Wafia.
My wafia.
(08:38):
Edging.
That's a nightmare to try andI'm just gonna I'm just gonna
edge you with that one.
That was a nightmare to try andkeep up with time-wise.
Yeah.
If you I suppose if you havecoming on cold, you're like,
ooh.
What's going on?
Was it 3-4?
No, no, it was four four.
It's just doing a lot of like itwas like it was slightly swung.
It was like da da da da da da dada.
Yeah.
Yeah, had that probably like12-8 kind of thing going on.
Yeah, one of my favoritefractions.
(09:01):
Spirit Box dropped a new songcalled Morning, as in I'm in
morning.
Oh, not like good morning.
No, it's Spirit Box, of courseit's true.
Yeah.
But this song has copped a bitof slack unfairly, I feel,
because they've tuned up.
Bit of slack?
A bit of flack.
Yeah, flack.
Yeah, cool.
Just checking.
No.
It's copped a loose rope.
(09:21):
Just give me some slack, man.
We're catching so much slack.
Oh man, the slack cannons, thefly the planes are flying over.
KMS.
Um, it's in drop C, which iscrazy for Spirit Box.
Okay.
But it's a bit of an emo banger,bit of a ballad vibe.
(09:42):
Bit slower, not as heavy asyou'd hear spirit box before.
So naturally, I really liked it.
Let's do it.
Let's go spirit boxing.
(10:16):
Not bad.
Not bad.
Good size.
I like that.
I like that.
And obviously, uh playing goodthings festival, they're not
playing sideshows.
Spoiler alert.
But it's a forward sell.
We've got the sideshows.
Well, so do you now, but we'lltalk about them anyway.
Everyone has them.
You get a sideshow.
Spirit Box doesn't get asideshow.
Needle in Biscuit.
(10:37):
Sam, my last song.
Speaking of good sound, goodsound, good sound, good things,
big sound, good things,different things, and I'm
talking about good things.
How good's autism?
Mate, not great.
My vaccine schedule though, upto date.
Uh speaking of good things, Sam.
House of Protection on thatlineup.
And I they're a band that Ididn't know much about before.
(10:58):
And I thought, you know what?
I'm gonna start looking ahead atthe good things lineup, see what
I need to know.
And I'll be honest, I'm becomingquite a fan.
So they're kind of like a bitrock, a bit metal, a bit
electronic.
Yep.
Um, but like electronic in likea almost like a party kind of
electronic way.
This song is called Fire.
Um, to me, this feels like themeeting place of Pendulum, the
(11:19):
bloody beatroots, and like earlynothing but thieves.
Okay.
So make of that what you will.
Have a listen.
Fire by House of Protection,LFJ.
SPEAKER_02 (11:53):
You fucked you lied! What the fuck do you mean?
SPEAKER_00 (11:57):
It's a bit rage against the machine, too.
A little bit, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Like that.
I'm gonna bring another divisiveband.
Well, not another one, they area divisive band to Metal fans,
and that is President.
Ah, yes.
So they dropped uh, well, forthose that don't know, everyone
knows President, the maskedband.
Busted.
I mean President.
Busted.
(12:19):
This nut.
It was the gap.
It was the gap between the setupand the payoff.
I thought you'd like that.
Let's get back to President.
Anyway.
Uh Blood of Your Empire is a newalbum, and people.
I don't know.
People love or hate President,there's no in between.
But they have a song called ThisWill Divide Us, and it is
(12:39):
divisive.
It is literally.
It's synthy, it's not at allheavy, it's quite uh it's quite
sad.
It's not even melancholy, it'sjust sad.
Okay.
Um, and it's just very, verypretty.
unknown (12:54):
Let's go.
SPEAKER_00 (13:28):
What?
I don't dislike it.
I just I don't I didn't I reallydidn't expect it, that's for
sure.
No, I think President surprisedpeople a lot because their songs
are different.
And yeah, you you come inthinking one thing and then they
hit you with another and youdon't know how to feel about it.
Hit us with the trap beat mumblerap.
It feels like 2015.
(13:49):
Yeah, a little bit.
Yeah.
And he's intentionally liketaking half-step notes vocally,
and it like it throws you alittle bit.
Yeah.
TBD.
I'll come back to you on thatone.
I'll take those questions onnotice.
Thank you.
As I said at the top of the, wedid some uh we did the live show
each this weekend.
I think we should dive in, getthrough it.
Electric Cowboy.
(14:10):
I saw them at the River Stage onSaturday night.
And if ADHD was a live set, itwas the Electric Cowboy set.
Um missed cold rain, sadly.
Lost track of time, to beperfectly honest.
Gets in the big jobs.
But I checked out Ice DineKills, not a band that I've been
a fan of for the entirety of mylife.
(14:32):
It's been a little while.
Still not a fan, but incrediblyheavy, incredibly tight.
And from a live perspective,their Halloween and horror I
guess, shtick.
Yeah.
Was kind of cool.
Very theatrical.
Very theatrical.
Always something going on onstage.
They had Art the Clown, they hadGhost Face from Scream, they had
(14:52):
others that I didn't recognisebecause I don't like being
intentionally scared.
What's the fucking point ofwatching?
Anyway, I just don't likehorror.
Sounds like a little whippet,he's always scared.
He walks around me like oh no.
The light turned red.
Yeah.
Jump my own shadow.
Someone told me my apartment'shaunted.
Your apartment's like four yearsold.
(15:12):
Yeah, but someone told methey've seen a ghost in my
apartment.
And I haven't been able to sleepproperly since.
They're like, I I I felt it kindof in the the back of your
apartment where your kitchen is.
I was like, but I cook eggs inthere.
It was um enough to I have avery long hallway, so walking
from the kitchen to Bragg.
(15:34):
I do.
It's just everything is off thehallway.
The hallway is my apartment.
That's true.
You've got you've got a hallwaywith stuff off it.
Yeah, I do.
I have a hallway with a bunch ofright turns.
But walking down that hallwayknowing the ghost is behind me,
or walk the other way.
Walk backwards.
Walk backwards, yeah.
Then his friend is from theother side.
They don't have wall boundarieslike we do.
(15:57):
That's true.
But anyway, um, electriccallboy, yeah.
It was Iceland kills,surprisingly good.
Went into Electric Cowboy andthey just had a bit of
everything.
They opened up um with a fewhits.
They played hyper hyper reallyearly.
Great song.
They're just their commitment tolike costume changes, keeping
the set fresh.
(16:18):
They went from heavy into likeEuro dance.
They had a full like hard stylebreakdown section where they
were covering all the smallthings, let the body sit the
floor.
Then they went into like reallyheavy stuff from their new
album, which you can hear aboutsoon with our interview with
Nico and Kevin.
About Tansnade.
Tunsnide and Max speaking very,very good.
(16:42):
Very sorry, I went New Zealand.
Speaking very good English.
Max spoke very good German, butnot so much the English side.
English bit carded.
Um but then they went into theheavy stuff and then they came
out dressed as like a boy band.
They covered I Want It That Wayby Backstreet Boys.
(17:03):
And then uh Every Time WeTouched, Cascader tune, and then
they came out and played alltheir bangers like we got the
moves, rata tata.
Like it was so fun.
Hell yeah.
Our poor photographer, Liam.
I was standing next to him everysong.
I was like, What'd you think ofthat?
Uh you don't know what to expectwith the next song.
(17:23):
And his poor face was just a manwho self-describes not very fun,
which is quite funny because Ithink he's quite fun.
But he just he's like, I'm not,I'm not really a fun guy.
It's like Liam, brother.
Let's have a chat, eh?
We love you, Liam.
And I think he had fun overall.
So yeah.
(17:44):
You can't ask for much more thanthat.
We broke we broke him out.
We broke him in.
Uh Sam.
On the other hand, I went toBugs, uh, their show, uh, their
lap one of their last two shows.
I went to the Thursday nightshow.
Obviously, extremely sad andheavy the circumstances of the
show, but Bugs put on one hellof a performance.
Um, before they came on, uh,they they did have a couple of
(18:06):
supports, but I only made itthere in time to see Sam Cromack
from Ballpark Music.
He was joined by Jen, also fromBallpark Music, and her partner,
who was on the drums.
They just basically playedcovers.
They said, like, we just talkedto people who were playing
tonight and asked them whatsongs I wanted to cover.
So there's a couple of ballparkmusic tracks, a couple of like,
you know, classic Brizzynumbers.
They closed with a rendition ofFreak by Silver Chair.
Good fun.
Love it.
Then Bugs came on.
(18:26):
They were dressed in the suitsthat they bought for Jordan's
recent wedding, which is reallylovely.
Yeah, nice.
And then they just played a hellof a set, like some new tracks,
some stuff in the new album,some classics.
They closed out with their likea version cover of Charlie by
Maul Rat.
Um, it was awesome, it waswholesome.
It felt like it was honoringJordan without making it feel
like a really heavy, sad, soursend-off kind of thing.
(18:49):
Um, just an incredible show.
Shout out to a friend of theshow, Danica, who came and said
hello, uh, had a chat for the uhfor the time.
She's over here all the way fromPerth.
Um, she loves the band, so sheshe came over for both shows.
Um, but yeah, just a just afucking a good time, but sad
surrounds, you know, the contextwas sad.
And if you don't know about thecontext, you can learn more next
(19:12):
week when we chat to all of Bugson the podcast.
The forward sells great thisweek, Sam.
Very forward and verynewsreader.
It is very newsreader.
Uh, we've got plenty of newtours that have just been
announced this last week, solet's go through some of them.
Do you want to kick us off?
You should never say neverbecause the fray said it better.
unknown (19:32):
That was really good.
SPEAKER_00 (19:34):
It wasn't that good.
It was the rhyme.
Uh yes, the fray, Sam.
They've announced the summer ofa light tour in 2027 coming to
Melbourne, Wollongong, the bighitters, Sydney, and Auckland,
brew.
Yes, and then following up withfestival shows.
With festival shows, so they'replaying Torquay, Perth, Lake
(19:54):
Macquarie, and Sandstone Point.
But they're coming withdifferent bands.
So they're bringing DashboardConfessional and Rachel Fahim to
Summer of Light.
And then on the festival run,they're bringing Bastille.
Hell yeah.
I'd go for Bastille.
Bastille, DashboardConfessional, again, Killing
Heidi and Little Birdie.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Who is Bertie's little sister?
(20:15):
Um, I'll be honest, Bastille,way underrated band.
Pompeii.
Well, I mean, they've gotthey've got multiple bangers.
Like Pompeii, great song, don'tbe wrong.
But I think one of those bandsthat live would be amazing.
Amazing.
Amazing.
They'd be forking, amazing.
But they're not the only bands,Maxwell.
Mate, uh, Fat Boy Slim has justannounced a tour as well.
(20:36):
Going to Esplanade Park in Frio,uh, doing three nights of the
carriage works in Sydney, SouthBank here in Brizzy, and then
two nights of the underpass inMelbourne between the 3rd and
the 13th of March.
Last time I saw Fat Boy Slim wasat the River Sage.
It was an incredible show.
It's exactly what you want fromFat Boy Slim.
There's enough Fat Boy Slim hitsthat you're like, fuck yeah.
He mixes in just hits from allthroughout.
(20:57):
Like he'll he'll mix in like afully modern, trappy like dance
track, and then he'll throw itback to some soul number from
like whenever.
And the way that he just DJsthose sets is so good.
The vibes are so high.
Do yourself a favor, people.
It is such a good show.
The man has said it himself.
This is that's not a question,it's an order.
Well, the other one, Maxwell,uh, I might be jumping in here,
(21:18):
but Empire of the Sun announceda big tour as well.
Ask that god afterlife tour,hitting Auckland, Brisbane,
Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, andPerth from Feb uh 19th to March
6th.
Yes.
That'll be large.
That will be large.
I'm glad that they've done it inthat that order.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Three.
Whoa.
(21:38):
Four.
You need to stop before you hurtyourself or somebody you love.
Is that a few?
If I were some, I would sayminimum five or six bangers.
I was gonna say six or seven,but then I pulled out at the
end.
And Sam, uh, a free one to wrapit up.
We love that.
Love some free shows.
Valley Fiesta is back inOctober, the long weekend up
here in Brizzy, just down on thestreet out.
(22:00):
There, um, absolutely stackedbecause it is a free festival.
You're looking at uh Baker Boy,Radium Doll, Sleeper Zoid,
Becker Hatch, Selve, the Gnomes,Full Moon, Full Flower Moon
Band, and Teardrive.
I got so confused, and I waslike, What lineup are you
looking at?
I'm looking at the 2025 one.
Awesome.
Now that's I'm pretty sure it'shockey dad, psycho.
(22:20):
Not quite.
No, that was last year.
That was last year.
Wow.
They've also got a separate 18plus stage at the bright side
with people like Ghost Mutt, uh,Bad Posture, Cody, Positive
Spin, and a heap more.
Like, we haven't even goneprobably through half the lineup
there on both stages.
So I would say do yourself afavor.
It's free.
You have nothing to lose.
So good.
Get down to the uh to the valueand watch all that unfold.
(22:41):
100%.
Should we get to the big onethough, Maxwell?
Because good things festivalsideshows have dropped.
Shit, someone should pick themup.
From the airport, Sam.
No, just leave it dead.
All right, do you want to runthe first few?
Let's do it.
So if you're in Brisbane, toughtits.
(23:02):
Um there's not nothing.
Adelaide got more than you.
Yeah, but Adelaide doesn't get atour, like the festival.
Yeah, but yeah, fair.
All American rejects playingMelbourne, Millencolin playing
Melbourne and Brisbane.
Bill Murray, yeah, headingacross the Dutch.
Unz only.
Unz only.
So he is an exclusive to goodthings, technically.
(23:25):
Yep, yep.
And then playing Wellington andAuckland, then you got Ministry,
farewell in Australia, playingSydney and Adelaide.
Fair.

the River Stage.
Minimum price for the RiverStage is 150 bucks.
Yeah.

(25:16):
lucky with an 80 or somethinglike that.
Rare.
Rare, but it's possible.
About 100 bucks.
Yeah, let's call it 100.
So even if you saw two of them,it's pretty much the cost of
things tickets.
Yeah, yeah.
Um, but anyway.
