Sarah Possum Sykes, lead singer for Sydney’s beloved Sunscreen (https://www.facebook.com/sunscreentheband/) and her wonderful mum Kerry came and joined us in the studio to talk about growing up by the beach, her sound engineering father, featuring in a feminist interpretation of King Lear and the impact of mental health on her music making
We hit the Leisure Coast down south in Wollongong to catch up with Nathan Stratton bass player for eucalyptus dream pop outfit Shining Bird (https://www.facebook.com/ShiningBirdMusic/). Stratt’s dear Mum Mary joined us to talk about growing up in the 90s, his life-long friendship with lead-singer Dane Taylor and his long-term distaste for ABBA.
Catching her just before she moved from her hometown of Canberra to the big leagues of Melbourne, we speak to Charlie Versegi, lead singer of Moaning Lisa (https://www.facebook.com/moaninglisaband/) and her charming Dad Peter. We talk starting a band in Canberra, coming out to her extra supportive parents, and who discovered Wolf Alice first.
We went up north and out west to Cranky Corner Mountain just outside the Hunter Valley, to speak with self taught bass player and vocalist for Newcastle’s adored dance-rock outfit RAAVE TAPES (https://www.facebook.com/RAAVETAPES/). Lindsay’s lovely mum Esther and dad Scott both joined us for a wholesome morning, chatting about Kate Bush, growing up in the bush and the importance of backing your kids and their dreams.
