Don't Call it a ComebackIn 2015 we'd been touring again, promoting the vinyl re-issues of our earlier albums, and our manager encouraged us to start writing songs again. We released the first single, Alone In A Crowd, and ended up recording a dozen more, which ended up coming out as our 7th album Pop Guilt.In retrospect the album was a weird one to return with after a 12 year absence. Tim and Kellie explain their mixed feeling around the songs, their recording and production. They discuss how being involved with other bands during the Screamfeeder recording hiatus meant that they came back to the table as different people and different songwriters, as well as how bizarre, challenging - and fun - they found being in bands with other people.A lot of Tim's songs were written in England in 2016 after he won the Grant McLennan Fellowship in 2015, and he explains how this played out and the immense challenges he was faced with, more or less from day one.Kellie dives down a rabbit hole trying to work out why so many of Tim's songs feature the phone, and we come to the realisation - late - that almost every song on the album is hugely influenced by Dinosaur Jr (and/or Sebadoh). Some things never change!Pop Guilt was a first for us in that we got to pick from our "dream list of hero producers" to mix the songs. It was also a first in that we used crowd-funding, asking for assistance from our fans to fund the recording. Both these experiments paid off hugely in ways we could never have expected.We chat about the culture of the late nineties and early noughties which was still such a huge influence, namely The Rat by The Walkmen, The Sopranos, and Seinfeld.We also have a laugh about I Might Have Some Regrets: how Tim pulled his classic move of pushing it through super late in the game, and how Kellie "Chucked a 'nana like a little baby" in the studio.Read more / buy on our websiteOn BandcampPop Guilt on SpotifyOn YouTubeThe Walkmen: The RatThe Valery TrailsCheck out our album All The Other Times: A Pop Guilt Companion and download it for free!

Jeremy Neale: Live at The Brightside, Fortitude Valley, 10 August 2019 If there's a bright centre to the Brisbane music universe, Jeremy Neale orbits pretty close to its heart. A stalwart of the community for over a decade, Jeremy led beloved garage rock party band Velociraptor for several years before also starting up a parallel solo project that ventured into new territory. Beginning with a folk-tinged self-titled EP in 2011, Neale mined the 1960s for pop songwriting influences on his first few solo releases, including single "Winter Was The Time", which won the Queensland Music Awards' Rock Award in 2012. The "In Stranger Times" EP of 2013 followed, the title track collaboration with Go Violets quickly becoming established as a fan-favourite and feel-good modern anthem for Brisbane. Neale's subsequent releases veered towards a strong 1980s flavour with the EP "Let Me Go Out In Style" in 2015 and debut album "Getting The Team Back Together" in 2017. In that same year Neale won the Grant McLennan Fellowship, which allowed him to spend time in New York City honing his songwriting skills and in 2018 he took home another Queensland Music Award, this time Song of the Year for "Dancin' And Romancin'". In February 2020 Neale released his second album, "We Were Trying To Make It Out", but many of his launch plans were scuppered by the COVID-19 pandemic. Fortunately for live music lovers, Live Delay had recorded a set of his several months earlier at the mini-festival "Sesh and the City". Includes an interview with Jeremy Neale. Recorded by Lauren Holyoak Mixed by Tynan Illand Show production, engineering and host: Scott Mercer Originally aired via Zed Digital, 7-8pm, Sunday 26 July, 2020
Jeremy Neale was the 2017 recipient of the Grant McLennan Fellowship and has a new album We Were Trying to Make It Out (Remote Control - Dot Dash).

Seja talks to her guest Jeremy Neale about his feelings regarding his new album ‘ We were trying to make it out’ which came out in February 2020. They chat about his Beach Boys influence, his start on the drums, learning guitar on a nylon string, and how knowing chords above the 5th fret doesn’t matter. Jeremy Tells Seja about the touring logistics of his 12-piece band Velociraptor, how to survive as a musician in a capitalist world and how lovely and supportive the Brisbane music community is. Seja and Jeremy share stories about how they say yes to everything and their experiences going to New York as recipients of the Grant McLennan Fellowship.

RIVAH joins Luke and Susie in the studio to talk about Faith, Family, and surprisingly...Culture. God got ahold of RIVAH in some very powerful ways over the past few years to make her faith more and more front and centre of what she does. She explains what that looked like for her while also sharing about living with her sister whilst waiting on a Visa to get backto New York, and a regrettable thumbs up to Beyonce. Of course, with RIVAH in studio there is no way we let her go without singing for us and she is amazing. RIVAH’s distinct touch has seen her rise as a finalist in the 2019 Billy Thorpe Scholarship, 2018 Carol Lloyd Award, 2017 Grant McLennan Fellowship, the International Songwriting Competition, New York’s Independent Music Awards, Nashville’s Unsigned Only and the Queensland Music Awards. https://rivahmusic.com/ https://www.facebook.com/musicrivah/ https://www.instagram.com/rivahmusic/

Seja: Brisbane via Germany musician Seja Vogel, has had a prolific career since starting her first band Sekiden in 1998. Once signed to Modular they released 2 albums and 2 EP’s, touring extensively throughout Australia, Canada, Japan and the USA. She was also a touring member of Brisbane favourites Regurgitator, joining in 2007 and also contributed to the Love and Paranoia album which was released in the same year. Seja has also lent her keyboarding and singing skills to touring buddies such as SPOD, David McCormack and Ben Salter. In 2010 Seja began releasing under her own name with her debut solo album We Have Secrets But Nobody Cares via Rice Is Nice. Working with Robert Forster, Cut Copy’s Tim Hoey, Regurgitator’s Ben Ely and Wally De Backer, Seja wrote and recorded a second volume of sweetly synthesised soundscapes entitled All Our Wires in 2013. Recorded at Sonic Masala Festival in Brisbane on the 19th of August 2017. Recorded and mixed by Reuben Aptroot. McKisko: McKisko is Helen Franzmann, a Brisbane-based musician who began her musical career writing and performing in the band Redbreast. After winning the Grant McLennan Fellowship in 2009, she recorded and released her debut under the McKisko moniker entitled Glorio, and then toured the country non-stop supporting the likes of Bon Iver and Jose Gonzales. She then followed up with 2013’s Eximo, which was released through El Nino records. Her songs are built using inventive instrumentation, an intimate honesty, and a lyricism that journeys through abstract landscapes imbued with emotion.

Jeremy Neale is recognised as one of Australia's most talented pop songwriters, receiving the Grant McLennan Fellowship last week in addition to great reviews of his new album Getting the Team Back Together. Jeremy joins Shaun in the mattress palace to chat day jobs, musical trends, and sleeping on a bed of Alec Baldwin's voice. Music by Jeremy Neale and WAWAWOW.

Dale Peachey: Dale Peachey is a member of a few bands. He gets around. A couple of years ago his band Dollar Bar (who we featured back in episode 76) got back together and put out their first record in about 8 years. They’ve just finished recording a follow-up to that. He’s still playing Seaplane shows too. Nothing’s gonna stop Dale. When he plays with himself on stage though he enjoys straddling the line between music and comedy, like if Steve Coogan started a band with Robert Pollard. There aren’t many performances in pubs that start with the classic Snappy Tom jingle and end with a cover of ‘Its Not Easy Being Green’. Recorded & mixed by Ben Fitzpatrick. Recorded at The Bearded Lady, Brisbane. 20th November 2014. Greg Charles: Greg Charles has been a few things; he’s played abrasive noise in Blonde Cobra and 6Majik9; he’s made minimal sound collages under the name Charles Curse. But it was his song-writing that earned him the nod of the Grant McLennan Fellowship award in 2007. His music has a certain feel you’d attribute to 90's alternative acts like Sonic Youth, Red Red Meat or (closer to home) Midget, but, he writes like he’s penning devastatingly beautiful country songs. It’s gotta be that Toowoomba influence. Recorded & mixed by Ben Fitzpatrick. Recorded at The Bearded Lady, Brisbane. 20th November 2014. Airing details: Originally via Zed Digital, 8-9pm, Friday 16 January 2015. Show production and engineering: Josh Watson.
