    Conrad Keely has been a hero of mine for a long time. Since being shocked and beguiled by the lyrics to the title track from …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead's 4th studio album, ‘Worlds Apart' I've been a fan ever since. Their 5th record, ‘So Divided' is one of my favourites of all time and their 3rd record, ‘Source Tags & Codes' received a 10 out of 10 review from Pitchfork (Pitchfork can get f#@ked but that's still pretty bad ass). The band has currently just completed the recording of their 11th studio album and are getting ready to release and get back out and tour around the globe again. Hear Conrad and I discuss hitting a guy in the head with a guitar, practical rider requests, hungover twitter posts, inventing a game called Frisball and a bunch more.

    Paul Kelly is one of the great voices of Australia. Not in a way where he preaches or speaks for others, it is in the way that he tells stories of its inhabitants, never hiding the scary or the ugly yet always with a tenderness and a beauty and honesty that is so hard to encapsulate as a songwriter. His song ‘How To Make Gravy' has become a Christmas staple and Paul has extended that by releasing his new album ‘Paul Kelly's Christmas Train' featuring guest such as Marlon Williams, Vika & Linda, Lior, Kasey Chambers and a bunch of other friends and collaborators. We had a chat over zoom to talk about the new record, what he got up to during lockdown, the difficulty of breaking old patterns as a songwriter and plenty more.

At their peak they were known to play up to 40 shows a month and on average were playing to a million people every year, that definitely makes them one of the hardest working bands in showbiz. Guitar Magazine once speculated that since Cook was one of the first guitarists children were exposed to, he might be the most influential guitarist in the world, nice one Murray!
