Dark Mofo Announces First 2018 Headliner

Dark Mofo is, unquestionably, the best and weirdest cultural centrepiece of winter in Australia. And its first headline act has now been announced.

The annual Hobart event consistently hosts many of the most original, unexpected and unusual names in music and art, while the event itself is dark, surreal, and spectacularly strange.

With summer over for another year, we’re just months away from…

Review: Slowdive Live in Sydney, Jan 31, 2018

Slowdive are an incredibly rare band. For starters, 2017’s self-titled album came more than two decades after their last. And it was not only good, it was possibly their best ever work.

PHOTOS & REVIEW: The Internet in Sydney

Aside from their three studio albums, each building on lessons learned from the last, almost each member has released their own solo material since the band’s latest Ego Deathin 2015, all…
