Admirers of seminal alternative rock and genre-bending music take notice; Chugg Entertainment today announces the landmark return of Radiohead to Australia and New Zealand.

It is safe to say that their welcome return is certain to be the live music milestone of the year.

Radiohead’s return to Australia & New Zealand will showcase the band’s multi-decade career in an aural and visual celebration. As a live band they transform their creations into an experience both towering and incandescent. Be sure to be part of the journey. No shows will be added to the tour – do not miss out.

TANLINES ‘BROTHERS’ 360-DEGREE VIDEO!


Tanlines have made an amazing video for Mixed Emotionsfirst track Brothers.

The band spent a lot of time talking about what it is to make music videos in this day and age, and as they do, Tanlines found a way to do something a little different- to make an intimate, simple story take on a few extra layers, to be able to tell a simple story that can be retold in an infinite number of ways.

The video is shot using a 360-degree GoPano lens and has enough easter eggs to justify a few repeated views. It was directed by Weird Days.

Watch the 360 degree video here

STREAM: PERFUME GENIUS – PUT YOUR BACK N 2 IT


Put Your Back N 2 It the new album by Perfume Genius is out now via Matador/Rhythmethod.

Perfume Genius is Seattle singer-songwriter Mike Hadreas whose 2010 debut Learning established him as one of the most endearing and quietly forceful performers today, with Hadreas’ work often been compared to Cat Power, Bon Iver and Thom Yorke.

Put Your Back N 2 It, is a more universal work, addressing intimacy, power, family, secrecy and hope, not just through his impressionistic lyrics, but the music itself, which is as lush as Learning was stark.

The hypnotic songs on Put Your Back N 2 It are tender and moving, but they are also surreal and grand, recalling at times the universality of lullabies and hymns, faraway folk songs, the dramatic arc of a film score, and the almost spiritual quality suggests a kind of opiated gospel.

Recorded by John Goodmanson (Blonde Redhead, Sleater-Kinney, Nada Surf) and producer / contemporary composer Drew Morgan, the record is a sonically beautiful, approachable album.

Put Your Back N 2 It is a gorgeous soundtrack for anyone trying to keep it together in everyday life, and moving forward.
