The most anticipated accessible gig on the local calendar, Groove Tunes just got a whole lot tastier with the arrival of new headliner, Keli Holiday of Peking Duk. Announced last month and taking place this Saturday 19 March at coveted Richmond venue The Corner, Groove Tunes will present a fun and accessible night of entertainment, highlighting the creativity and inclusivity of the disability community, while also creating awareness to excel standards of accessibility in the music industry and beyond. Accessibility consultancy, Tibi Access—the incredible team of disability advocates behind the Groove Tunes project—are beyond excited to welcome Keli Holiday and his shimmering, ethereal and uplifting dance music to the fold in what is sure to be a night to remember.
From the mind of a man living off of nothing but New Order records, beer, sleepless nights and the sheer excitement and love of exploring an unknown city named New York, Keli Holiday is the solo project of Adam Hyde (one half of multi ARIA award winning, 10x platinum selling Australian eclectic electronic duo Peking Duk). In the wake of Peking Duk’s non-stop, two month North American tour, Hyde was told he had time for a holiday when he got home but instead of flying to a beach somewhere he decided to use an old guitar he had sitting in his bedroom to create something special. He sheepishly showed his best friend Thomas Stell aka Golden Features the 12 tracks he’d penned in four weeks, before Tom shared the project with Adam’s longtime idol that he’d never met—KIM from the iconic duo The Presets. KIM and Adam soon tightened up the dusty recordings and made it shine. Two years later and the marriage of longing for that holiday he’ll never get back mixed with the strumming of that dusty old guitar birthed the love child that is Keli Holiday.
Keli Holiday joins previously announced acts Matilda Pearl, Saint Ergo, Edward Roussac and Irene Zhong, rounding out an absolutely killer bill of local acts with more than half the lineup made up of artists living with disability. Tibi Access’ mission to bring the joy of live music to the disability community, while also increasing awareness of the need for events and venues to be more accessible is the driving force behind this weekend’s Groove Tunes event. Through a survey Tibi conducted in 2018, people living with a disability expressed their love of attending live music events, however the fear and lack of access stopped them from going. As an accessible gig, Groove Tunes will provide support services such as Auslan interpreters, printed braille tickets, in-venue access ramps and lowered bar access, accessible signage, a sensory zone and sensory packs, on-stage lyric videos, as well develop an accessible website and keep ticket prices low for the music industry and disability community alike—allowing access to people of all abilities to not only attend, but have a fun, safe and memorable experience.
Do not miss your chance to catch Keli Holiday in his first live show of the year at one of Melbourne’s most cherished accessible venues alongside some favourite artists you haven’t yet discovered at Groove Tunes this Saturday night. Final release tickets moving quick sticks, with free entry for companion card holders. Can’t make it on Saturday?

Still buzzing from a run of sold out headline shows, King Stingray are determined to keep the vibes high with a brand new single, Camp Dog.
The band’s fourth single is an endearing tribute to the cheeky canines that patrol the streets of Yirrkala, the town in North East Arnhem Land that King Stingray grew up in.
“The community camp dogs act like the boss of the streets” explains guitarist Roy Kellaway. “Kids often have to walk the long way home to avoid them. But it’s not about fear. It’s about our adoration of the character and personality of the community dogs and their funny traits. Flea-ridden, cane toad-lickin’, fish carcass-eating camp dogs. We love them, and this is a story of our life with them.”
Camp Dog follows on from bona fide hits Milkumana and Get Me Out which both made their way into triple j’s Hottest 100 at number 56 and 46 respectively.
Maintaining their mammoth momentum, King Stingray have been hand-picked to support Midnight Oil in Sydney and Cairns, and invited to join several dates on the massive Ball Park Music tour throughout June and July. Expect incredible performances at Yours & Owls, Strawberry Fields, Parrtjima and Splendour In The Grass, too.
With the band now pulling into international focus via their nomination for NME’s Best New Band In The World, 2022 truly is shaping up to be the Year of King Stingray!

Known for his coastal folk sonic goodness, touring prestige and a laid back approach to life in his van, the name Jack Botts is rapidly cementing itself on the Australian conscious. Returning with his first taste of new music for 2022 with the adventurous and stick-in-your-head offering ‘Mine, Mine, Mine‘ today, Jack continues his quietly confident pursuit of the music world.
Unravelling his long-distance relationship throughout Covid, ‘Mine, Mine, Mine’ is lyrically cheeky and leans on a bluesy, groovy rhythm throughout. On the single, Jack shares:
“I’ve always wanted to write a track like ‘Mine, Mine, Mine’. It’s a little different to the genres and style of music I’d usually write, but it was a super fun one to bring to life. More of a ‘cheeky’ kind of approach to a story in terms of the writing, but musically, it was super cool to bring in a bit of a bluesy aspect and groove to front. It’s been really fun to try out and play live whilst on tour, and I’m super excited for it to be released!”

SUPPORT FOR ‘BACKSEAT HEARTBEAT’
“A smooth funky slice of sunshine that canters along at a high-stepping trot, tempered with an enthralling air of melancholy in the vocals.”
Backseat Mafia (UK)
Yamba-based artist Late Night Therapy has just revealed their enthralling debut single ‘Backseat Heartbeat’ – self-recorded/produced by the artist himself and co-mixed with Luke Million.
Beginning with adroit electronics and warm synthesisers, ‘Backseat Heartbeat’ is four minutes of heterogenous production, layered with motifs that float effortlessly through carefully crafted soundscapes. Strident guitars compliment the polyphonic sonority, while the graceful vocals guide the resonant melody above the mix, judiciously navigating the song’s memorable structure.
Late Night Therapy talks about the meaning behind ‘Backseat Heartbeat’:
“This release and the many tracks to follow come after a long journey of self-doubt that has left me with a huge backlog of music waiting for a chance to see the light of day. A problem with my hearing forced me to take an extended break from music. It took this break for me to gain the perspective needed to once again believe in my art.”
Late Night Therapy is the new musical project from Harry Suttor. Taking cues from influences such as Tame Impala, Daft Punk and RÜFÜS DU SOL, his combination of live instrumentation and the unbounded potentials of electronic production to create an organic, evolving sound that reflects the fundamentals of his song subjects. “The process of creating music late at night when there are no distractions, it’s quiet, dark and I can completely immerse myself in it has always been therapy for my state of mind. This is where the name ‘Late Night Therapy’ came from. Music is my outlet, it keeps me in the moment and leaves me fulfilled.”
In the coming weeks, Late Night Therapy will reveal an accompanying music video for ‘Backseat Heartbeat’.
‘Backseat Heartbeat’ is available worldwide now

CARNAGE is out now – listen here
Nick Cave & Warren Ellis today announce two shows at the iconic Hanging Rock in Victoria’s Macedon Ranges, performing on Friday 25 and Saturday 26 November. These limited capacity seated shows are presented by Always Live, Frontier Touring and Supersonic, and will be the first dates on their upcoming Australian Carnage Tour.
The VIC show news comes off the back of Cave & Ellis’ acclaimed 2021 album CARNAGE, as well as a run of phenomenal performances across the UK and Europe, and a current North American tour. Tickets are on sale Thursday 17 March (12pm local time) via frontiertouring.com/
Cave has already announced, via The Red Hand Files, that the full Australian Carnage Tour will run from mid-November to mid-December. Details on those shows will be announced soon. (**Media: please see contact below for any full tour enquiries.)
Also just announced, Andrew Dominik’s film This Much I Know To Be True featuring Nick Cave & Warren Ellis will be in cinemas worldwide on Wednesday 11 May, following its critically acclaimed world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival.
While Cave & Ellis have composed and recorded many soundtracks together, and Ellis is a long-term member of The Bad Seeds, CARNAGE is the first album of songs the pair have released.
Cave & Ellis’ creative chemistry is rooted in their long history of music making, both as collaborators and as individual artists. They first crossed paths in 1993, when Ellis played violin on several songs for the Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds album, Let Love In, before going on to join the band as a full-time member. The two have also recorded as Grinderman, formed in 2006, and have composed and recorded numerous, film, TV and theatre soundtracks together.
Joining Nick and Warren at both shows is Courtney Barnett. In the hands of Courtney Barnett, fragments of everyday life become rich and riveting. A deft lyricist and virtuosic guitarist, she is an emblem of millennial wit and one of Australia’s most successful musical exports. Barnett is also a powerhouse live act, playing slots at festivals including Coachella, Bonnaroo, Governor’s Ball, Primavera, and Lollapalooza. In 2021, she released album Things Take Time, Take Time.
The shows are part of the ALWAYS LIVE program, a new state-wide celebration of contemporary live music supported by the Victorian Government through Visit Victoria. Ticketholders can also access further information regarding Hanging Rock travel, accommodation and other FAQ’s at www.hangingrockconcerts.com.
‘…an unexpected and powerful collection of songs from Cave and his long-term musical partner Warren Ellis…’ – The Age
‘Working together in a shared state of intuition, the two have never sounded quite so unfettered by expectation – either theirs or ours.’ – The Australian

‘As the lights dimmed and the crowd roared, the Foo Fighters appeared before us, feeling like a sight for sore eyes in the wake of empty stages and cancelled tours. Frontman Dave Grohl walked around the stage, simply staring back at the crowd as we all wordlessly exchanged the sentiment that it had been far too long for such an event’ – Rolling Stone AU

‘…it’s hard not to feel like we’ve just witnessed an historical event. Mother Nature may have brought the rain but the Foos came in even harder with their thunder.’ – NME

It’s been four years since Something For Kate have done a national headline tour, so tonight’s Echolalia x The Modern Medieval is not before time.
The first of four sold out shows at Melbourne’s iconic Forum Theatre, sees the band embark on a national headline tour of theatres across the country. Albeit this tour was scheduled for last year sometime, it has fallen victim to the perpetual (it seems) rescheduling that so many artists have been inflicted with. The past behind, it’s a new start to gigs and tonight’s show is no exception.
With no support act to warm the crowd , Something For Kate promptly graced the large Forum stage to embark on the first of two sets. The first set being the Echolalia album played in full. I don’t recall SFK having done this before (I could be wrong), so this was a treat. Playing all tracks from start to finish on the albums 20th (or now 21st) anniversary, and while being the fashion at present to perform anniversaries, this one was exceptional.
The second set consisted of predominantly new tunes from 2020’s The Modern Medieval along with a smattering of tracks from Desert Lights, Leave Your Soul To Science and The Official Fiction. Tracks from the new album sounded fresh, but with that SFK formula that works so well, including – All The Great Minds, Supercomputer and Situation Room, however Blue Bird was a notable omission.
As always SFK included a cover, this time Bowie’s Heroes and culminating with the punter favourite, Captain (Million Miles an Hour) lifted from Elsewhere For 8 Minutes.
So good to see a band with this level of longevity still producing great music, performed in a great room to multiple sell out crowds – long may you run.

– Pilerats“Imagine DMAs with their soaring indie rock but now imagine that sound all mussed up with anger and more grit. That’s what I’m hearing from Divers on this new one.”
– Dave Ruby Howe, triple j Unearthed
“…Divers splash around, careering in different directions, keeping you on your toes with this exciting new one. I’m addicted!”
– Declan Byrne, triple j Home & Hosed
“There’s some bands you just get a good feeling from. Divers are home grown, easy-going but highly motivated young guys with an ear for catchy melodies, homespun lyrics and a passion for the sound they’re creating.”
– How Good Melbourne
Rising Melbourne indie-rock, psych and experimental-infused outfit Divers have released their new EP The Sensory Edition in full today.
Out via their new label home Domestic La La, the EP is lead by recent single in ‘Feed Me’, which first premiered via triple j Unearthed and has since garnered high praise from triple j staff and music media (including the likes of Pilerats and Hysteria) and become the band’s top performing track.
To celebrate the EP, Divers will play a hometown launch show at The Gaso next Saturday March 12, supported by The Paddy Cakes + Lily Rose (tickets here) and have also unleashed a music video for ‘Feed Me’ today.
“The video concept for ‘Feed Me’ ties in with the lyrical themes of the song, specifically on how technology can occasionally send you into a spiral of madness,” says the band.
“We spent a very hungover Sunday with Schoondie (Ben Schoonderbeek, collaborator) busting this one out, with added time constraints as Ben and Scotty declared they were going straight edge and were heading off to a 6-week yoga retreat in India the following day.”
