Podcasts about Magic Dirt

On their second album Young And Full Of The Devil, Magic Dirt blended fuzzed out psych and stoner riffage with a grunge-tinged snarl. The throat shredding vocals of Adalita Srsen lend comparisons to bands like Hole, The Distillers, or L7, but the band delves into darker, scuzzier territory on tracks like the opening opus "Babycakes" and the closer and bonus track "Babycakes You Always Freeze Me Up." The foursome display a penchant for uptempo riffage on songs like "Rabbit With Fangs" and the appropriately titled "She-Riff" layered in a variety of guitar pedals and effects, but some odd choices on the back half of the record left us scratching our heads about what started out with strong intentions but veered into less concise territory.   Songs In This Episode Intro - Short Black 22:03 - Shrinko 28:54 - She-Riff 35:02 - Ascot Red 43:36 - X-Ray Outro - Rabbit With Fangs   Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.

Interview by Kris PetersAustralian music was a melting pot of talent in the early 90s with bands like Tumbleweed, Regurgitator, Spiderbait, Magic Dirt and the Superjesus planting the initial seeds that would see them still knocking crowds dead to this day - some 30 years later.Punk upstarts the Hard-Ons were also a major player in the thriving scene, but it is an offshoot of that band - formed after internal bickering led to one of the band's many breakups - called Nunchukka Superfly who made perhaps the biggest impact of them all despite never releasing an album and disbanding after a few short years.In that time Nunchukka Superfly - Ray Ahn and Peter Black from Hard-Ons, Massappeal drummer Peter Allen and former Harpoon frontman and future Drones co-founder (and now JJ McCann Transmission main man) James McCann - earnt a fierce reputation as a must see live band, managing to record an albums worth of material that was seemingly lost to the ether and never to be seen or heard again.Until now.The masters of that album found their way back into the hands of McCann, who dutifully passed them along to the rest of the band, ensuring the collection of now timeless punk rock tunes would finally see the light of day.The band released Nunchukka Superfly 95 earlier this year and announced a run of shows in celebration, proving there's still life in the legs and lungs of this Australian musical enigma. And where there's life, there's hope, as evidenced by the fact Blackie and James reached out to us here at HEAVY to talk about the past, present and future of Nunchukka Superfly.We start with the album and ask how it felt to finally release it after so many years."I guess you could call it strange," Blackie mused, "but at the same time it felt really good, and I think we can thank James for that because I didn't even have a copy of the recordings. I forgot what it was like even. But James got in touch about a year and a half ago and said mate, have you heard that fucken thing we did all those many moons ago? It's really ferocious. We should release it and I remember thinking yeah, yeah, maybe one day. He sent me a copy, and I was like holy fuck he's right. This is mad.""I had it on cassette for years," James added. "And I think we all had a cassette copy initially, but I wore that out eventually. In Sydney Jason, who recorded it, was working across the road from where I lived at the Hopeton Hotel on the weekends, and he said I have that DAT tape of that Nunchukka Superfly recording, do you want a copy? I said yes, and I sat on that for years because I didn't have a DAT player (laughs). I had access to this old 90s DAT player about ten years ago at a friend's studio, so we plugged in the old player and put the cassette in and BAM, there it was loud and clear, and somehow I had stored it away well enough to obviously have not lost it. That was the start, then I got it digitized and sent it to Blackie and Ray."In the full interview, Blackie and James talk more about the release of their debut album, Nunchucka Superfly 95, after many years, and the upcoming reunion shows. They shared their memories of the band's formation, their last show in 1996, and their chemistry during the first jam session, expressing excitement about the reunion and the potential for future collaborations.Blackie and James also discussed the process of obtaining and digitizing the original recording of their debut album, emphasizing that no alterations were made to the original recording. They reflected on the quality of the music and the positive reactions on social media and strong initial sales, including overseas interest, and expressed pride and gratitude for the continued interest in their music after so many years.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

The boys spoke to Adalita from Magic Dirt about Spring Loaded event next yearSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Interview by Kyra-Jade Coombs Magic Dirt released Young and Full of the Devil 25 years ago and has celebrated with a double LP re-release.This era of Magic Dirt is a special time for the band with Raul stepping in as their new guitarist, that would turn into a lifetime of friendship and shows together. HEAVY caught up with frontwoman Adalita to reflect on the past and delve into the future. As well as releasing a wild purple-colored vinyl, they decided to hit the road on a monster tour to play their album in full. If you haven't had the chance to watch Magic Dirt live, they have this amazing and wild energy that they've carried on as a trademark since their early days.“We're animals. Love playing loud and love the riffs”. I really wanted to reflect and take Adalita back to the ‘golden age' of Aussie rock/punk music, the 90s and 00s. If anyone has cool stories, it's got to be these guys, right?We talked about being on the road, the Big Day Out festival days, the Channel [V] era and what it was like to be right in the guts of it all.“So many lost brain cells in and blur of awesomeness”.Living in a time when you could fully immerse yourself in a world without social media certainly had its rewards and perks.“We used to drive around and guess where the venues were. Living life actually and not virtually”.Can't sit here and say I'm not envious of the lifestyle having grown in the internet world… At one point I asked if Adalita still resonates with Young and Full of the Devil's lyrics and content and what it's like to play the songs today. In response, she explains that she understands and knows exactly who that person was and where the emotion and lyrics came from, and it's amazing to be able to play these songs again and re-live those memories and experience the songs through who she is today with all the life lessons she's learnt along the way. Which I personally think is a beautiful thing to have.Imagine having a record with all your angst from the 20s as your living diary.I wondered if she had any advice she would give her younger self to which she said she would actually rather receive the advice. A cool thought to have. This weekend Magic Dirt are heading to Byron Bay on their tour for the first time since the 2000s, promising to rip it up and have a hell of a time! You can find the full tour guide on their website, grab some merch and a copy of Young and Full of the Devil for yourself. Do it!!

Interview by Kris PetersNight At The Barracks returns to Manly's picturesque North Head this September for a series of outdoor concert events starting on September 15 and finishing on October 8.The showcase event kicks off with legendary Australian act Hoodoo Gurus, with celebrated artists such as Missy Higgins, Kate Cebrano, James Morrison Motown Experience and Tina Arena among the featured artists.But it is September 29 where we draw our focus today, and the musical extravaganza that is The Rolling Stones Revue.Fronted by Magic Dirt's Adalita, Tex Perkins and Tim Rogers (You Am I, Hard-Ons), The Rolling Stones Revue has been drawing rave reviews around the country with their unique slant on the music that shaped a generating as performed by Australian artists.For this special occasion, The Rolling Stones Revue will also be paying homage to the classic Stones album Sticky Fingers, as well as delivering fan favourites and greatest hits.Adalita joined us earlier this week to chat about Night At The Barracks."I can't wait," she enthused. "I've not played Night At The Barracks before and it sounds like a really great event. I love playing outdoor gigs and it just sounds beautiful. Manly is great, I played there back in the day but it's been a while."We turn our focus to The Rolling Stones Review and what to expect."It's a group of us - Tex Perkins, Tim Rogers and myself in this particular revue," Adalita explained. "We have had Phil Jamieson in the past and Sarah McLeod as well, but for this particular one it will be myself, Tex and Tim. We just get together and bang out some Stones classics. There's a lot of Sticky Fingers songs and alot of classics as well. It's just so much fun to do. I've always loved the Stones and playing besides Tex and Tim is just a joy. They're amazing. We have such a great time and the band is incredible. It's unexpected that I would do something like that, but I like going out of my comfort zone."In the full interview Adalita talks about how they rehearse for the show, how faithfully they keep to the original versions, choosing who performs which songs, who channels their inner Mick Jagger best, playing a classic album front to back and potential difficulties that could pose, the state of the art visual component to the show, future plans and more.

Magic Dirt are one of the hardest workers of 'the scene' - forming in 1991 in Geelong and numerous Big Day Outs to their name. It was late in the piece when 'Dirty Jeans' and 'Plastic Loveless Letter' gained a heap of airplay for them and entries into the JJJ Hottest 100 in the 2000s. Adalita has released numerous solo albums and her latest, 'Inland' taking 5 years with Covid interruptions, but still another masterpiece. Recently Adalita appeared on the Michael Hutchence tribute, 'Rooms for the Memory 2023' - Michael's only solo single which was a ARIA Top 10 hit in 1987. This recording also honoured the talents of Ollie Olsen who worked with Michael on the recording. This is the Rider with Becko and Adalita.

Interview by Erin EddyIf ever there was a time to be in Queensland, it's right now. In parts of the country where theweather has taken a chilly turn, the Sunshine Coast is a welcome reprieve. But the favourableweather isn't the only drawcard this week.On Saturday June 3, the Sandstone Point Hotel is hosting Spring Loaded Festival.A delicious throw back for those of us who were big into the Triple J scene of the late 90's and early 2000's, Spring Loaded is serving up one mighty cocktail of Aussie music.HEAVY spoke with Tom Read of Bodyjar, one sliver of the Spring Loaded pie. He expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming event proclaiming, “Get me up to Queensland fast!”The festival line up is exciting for the Bodyjar congregation due to being among so many friends. A sentiment that is likely shared across all the bands attending, which is only going to make for huge vibes on the day.“I have no excuse but to go hard,” said Tom, who will be taking the opportunity to stick around in Queensland for a holiday with his family after the festival, “I can't not get in the pit for Shihad.”Bodyjar and Shihad are joined by Magic Dirt, Spiderbait, Frenzal Rhomb, Eskimo Joe, Ratcat and Screamfeeder. An epic assemblage of bands, right?Tickets are still available and can be purchased via Ticketmaster.Tune in to the really fun chat we had with Tom, talking about Spring Loaded, nostalgia, what Bodyjar are up to next and Tom's date with hypothermia post-interview!

Interview by Kris PetersBrisbane indie guitar pop outfit Screamfeeder are another band from the 1990s that is still commanding attention on the national touring circuit.The band has released a total of seven albums - the most recent of which was Five Rooms last May - and are one of the few remaining bands from that era that are still producing regular content as well as playing live.They will form but one cog in next weekends Spring Loaded 2023 Festival at Brisbane's Sandstone Point Hotel, reuniting with fellow 90s classmates Spiderbait, Frenzal Rhomb, Magic Dirt, Ratcat, Bodyjar, Shihad and Eskimo Joe for a trip down memory lane and also one which proves the timeless nature of good Australian music.Bassist Kellie Lloyd joined HEAVY to discuss the show and revisit old memories."We've actually tried to broaden our set list a little bit for this show," she offered, "because Spring Loaded in particular is all about the 90s, so we tend to play songs that the audience will know. Not like stuff from our newer albums - because we've been continuing to put out albums - we brought out one last year, so we're not playing new stuff. We're playing all older stuff. We wanna make sure that we're appealing to the audience and what they are after."We mention the line-up and the old school nature of the bands, pointing out it's almost like a family reunion of sorts."We've played gigs with all of those bands," she nodded. "In the 90s we toured with Spiderbait and Magic Dirt and we've played with Shihad and Bodyjar and Ratcat. All of those bands we're all friends, so yeah, it is like a... it's not like a family reunion, it's more like a reconnection of people who are doing what they love. The audience is there to relive that part of their lives, and a lot of people might bring their kids along who are now teenagers or twenty - something's who grew up listening to this music. I call it a Nostalgia Fest because that's exactly what it is. It's really nostalgic, but it's also completely relevant. It's not like harking back to the past. All this music stands today and is still as vital as it was."In the full interview, Kellie discusses the importance of all Aussie festivals, runs through her best memories of each band on the bill, tells us what we can expect from their set, the early days of Screamfeeder and where they fit in, maintaining a musical presence and more.

Interview by Kris PetersThere's something to be said when it comes to nostalgia and Aussie music.Perhaps more so than any other music listening country in the world, Australia genuinely loves and respects music from eras gone by, recognising not only the current state and crop of Australian artists, but also paying homage to the bands who paved the way for a prolonged period of success.It doesn't hurt when these bands continue to not only tour - but do so with the same youthful zest and energy they delivered in their heyday.And when a festival like Spring Loaded comes along on a now yearly basis further proof of the credentials and staying power of Aussie talent is laid bare on one stage over one day for all to see.This years first Spring Loaded, to be held at Bribie Island's Sandstone Point Hotel on June 3, showcases the best of the best of yesteryear, with Spiderbait headlining and being joined by Frenzal Rhomb, Shihad, Magic Dirt, Bodyjar, Eskimo Joe, Ratcat and Screamfeeder.The festival is living testament to the longevity of Australian bands and music and is all the more special for the fact it is made up only of bands from this part of the world.Shihad are the only New Zealand band on the line-up and are eager to get out there and play songs from their most recent album Old Gods, which hasn't yet received the attention it deserves due to recent world events.Frontman Jon Toogood joined HEAVY to chat about Spring Loaded and Shihad's place in the line-up."Any opportunity to get me in front of a crowd with that band I'm real happy about," he smiled. "I'm pretty excited."We bring up the quality of bands on the bill and the fact they are still drawing crowds decades after they first came out."It's almost like the nineties all over again," he laughed. "I like these festivals because it's not too uncomfortable backstage because I know everybody (laughs). It's a nice vibe backstage. Everyone is past that really hyper-competitive bollocks that we used to do when we were young, so everyone gets along a lot better. We're there to absolutely slay, but back in the day at the Big Day Out and stuff it was cut-throat."In the full interview Jon talks about the drawing power of older bands like these, why they still succeed, some of the bands on the line-up and his best touring memory of them, what we can expect from Shihad's set, learning to manage yourself and your body as your career progresses, new material and more.

Interview by Kris PetersMagic Dirt have been a mainstay on the Australian music scene since their formation in 1991.They quickly became regulars on the touring circuit, appearing at festivals such as Big Day Out, Livid and Homebake, in the process earning a solid reputation as an energetic and formidable live unit, led by the charismatic and highly talented Adalita Srsen on vocals.Age has not wearied Magic Dirt, who are one of the main drawcards at Spring Loaded at the Sandstone Point Hotel on June 3 which features a host of iconic Australian bands including Spiderbait, Ratcat, Shihad, Frenzal Rhomb, Screamfeeder, Bodyjar and Eskimo Joe.HEAVY caught up with Adalita recently to celebrate the enduring goodness of Aussie rock bands."I can't wait!", she enthused. "Playing with all our mates and playing up in Brissie is always good for us Melbournites. We love going up there. We've done the festival a few times now and it's such a great feel. All our mates are all together - we used to play a lot back in the day. We used to do the Big Day Out's and Livid's and Homebake all together, all the time. This lineup is literally the Big Day Out lineup, the Aussie version. So it's like the Little Day out, but Ratcat are playing as well, who we are all so excited to see. They were the kind of Godfathers of pre-grunge and all that sort of stuff and they influenced a lot of the bands so we are all super fanning out to see Ratcat (laughs). It's gonna be huge. We haven't done Queensland in a while, so there's so many reasons to be looking forward to this show."In the full interview Adalita runs through the other bands on the bill and her best memories of playing with them, the importance of all Australian festivals like Spring Loaded, what we can expect from Magic Dirt on the day, the longevity of Aussie bands and why they are still relevant, upcoming plans and more.

Interview by Kris PetersOften with music festivals containing some form of nostalgia things can become unnecessarily cluttered and almost sentimental, in effect negating the very concept of a musical celebration featuring an assortment of bands who have all played significant roles in the success that is Australian music.But, when a festival gels as it should then the result is nothing short of triumphant.Think festivals like Homebake and Livid that are to this day spoken about with awe and wonderment and the sheer magic of music is instantly compounded.And it now appears there's one more name to add to the list.Spring Loaded.After the universal acclaim from punters and performers alike following last years travelling spectacle, organisers have this year stuck to the same winning formula of signing up some of the best Australian music talent from the past couple of decades and throwing them together on one stage to unleash the inherent beauty of music in its purest and simplest form.This year headlined by Spiderbait, Spring Loaded kicks off on June 3 at the Sandstone Point Hotel with a stacked line-up that also includes Frenzal Rhomb, Shihad, Eskimo Joe, Screamfeeder, Magic Dirt, Ratcat and Bodyjar.With the countdown on for what is already shaping to be another monster day of entertainment, HEAVY sat down with Spiderbait's Kram to talk about the strength of Spring Loaded and Spiderbait's honour of having been named headliner."I think it will be fantastic," he enthused. "We did do this show a few years ago and I didn't really know what to expect and it was such a fantastic gig and fantastic festival. We can't wait to do it again and we're really pumped.""It's such a beautiful ampitheatre," he continued. "Amazing vibe and it reminds me of some of the old festivals that we used to play years ago in Queensland."In the full interview, Kram talks about being asked to headline, the importance of having festivals made up of only Australian bands, some memories of playing with other bands on the bill, their live show and what to expect, perfecting your craft and more.

By Erin EddyEvery heavy music punter in Melbourne knows The Tote. It has incubated and hosted some of this country's biggest acts, such as King Parrot, Amyl & The Sniffers, Magic Dirt, The Beasts Of Bourbon, The Datsuns, The Hard Ons, Mudhoney, The White Stripes and the list goes on.The building itself is 152 years old, but has been operating as a live music venue since 1981. If you'll allow me to do the maths for you, that's 41 years of punk, rock and metal marinated into the walls of this iconic structure.In recent months, The Tote has been put on the market; not simply the business but the entire building. It has a hefty price tag of 6.6 million dollars, and unsurprisingly the Melbourne music community is extremely nervous that we're about to witness the demise of one of the city's most important hubs for rock and roll.The heroes of this story are power couple Shane and Leanne, who have been at the helm of another legendary Melbourne music venue, The Last Chance Rock & Roll Bar, for around eight years now.They have embarked on a quest which they have titled “The Last Chance To Save The Tote!”Shane and Leanne have dedicated their entire adult lives to working in and running venues and they eat, sleep and breathe the city's live music scene.Shane says The Tote is a venue he has wanted to own and run for 20 years, and has been waiting for his chance to swoop in. But he was never expecting that when finally, his chance arose, that the sale would include the actual building itself, and therefore was not prepared for the price tag associated with that.“I've wanted to run The Tote forever,” Shane told HEAVY, “simply because I love going to The Tote!”“We knew that at some stage it would come up for sale, but we were kind of blindsided by the fact that the entire building was up for sale and the price that's on it… it's not doable.”Shane isn't exactly the type of person to let pesky finances deter him from a crusade to save this venue, however.Together, he and Leanne and the patronage of The Last Chance Rock & Roll Bar have begun a crusade to raise funds for half of the asking price of the building, in a bid to save it from falling into the hands of developers, who Shane fears will convert this piece of history into “shitty apartments.”“With a six-million-dollar price tag, it's unattainable for someone who is passionate about music,” Shane laments. He's calling upon the Australian music community to rally and attempt to achieve the seemingly impossible and ensure magical music moments continue to take seed within the walls of The Tote.The deadline is this Thursday April 6 th .“The time is now,” Shane says. “Don't protect the walls, protect what happens within those walls. If we're going to let our most important venue die because some shitty investor has lots of money and they want to build apartments, then we can't claim to be the live music capital of the world.”If Shane and Leanne are successful at obtaining The Tote, the first thing they're going to do is put the building in trust, so that it remains untouchable and a live music mecca forever.Shane is one of the most enthusiastic, passionate, salt of the earth people we at HEAVY have had the pleasure of speaking with and his bid to save The Tote is nothing short of admirable.Please listen to our interview to get the scoop straight from the horse's mouth, then make sure you hit up www.facebook.com/thelastchancerockandrollbar for updates on the campaign, and more importantly, to make a donation.No money pledged will be taken from your bank account until the start of May, and donations will only be extracted IF the guys are successful at meeting their target. So pledge today, you have nothing to lose, and can be a part of Melbourne music history if the target is met.The Last Chance Rock & Roll Bar is also hosting a pledge drive spectacular this Monday the 3 rd and Tuesday the 4 th of April, which will be live streamed via YouTube, with some of the industry's most well known musicians getting involved.

In 2020, MLMs made headlines by catapulting in popularity as people remained trapped in their homes, desperate for a little extra cash, and hopeful for a miracle cure-all that could save them from Covid-19. One of the most prominent MLMs out there was, BOO, a company claiming that their magic dirt could heal every disease or disorder known to mankind. But, while their customers and sellers pushed the product desperately on social media, others were paying attention to their rise, less than thrilled by their “cure-all” advertising.  Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/iilluminaughtii Sources: https://justpaste.it/6ddoe Writers/Researchers/Helpers: Jess Hubbert This episode was edited and mixed by: @GThomasCraig  Album cover art created by: Betsy Primes Intro Song Credits: Last to Fall- Will Van De Crommert Outro Song Credits: Sacred and Profane- Nicholas Rowe

It's the year 2020 and the pandemic is in full swing. Millions of people have lost their jobs and the US government has provided very little in the way of financial assistance, so people seek alternative forms of income. Enter the MLM, or mult-level marketing company, otherwise known as a Ponzi scheme, otherwise known as a pyramid scheme. Thanks to Facebook, these scam companies easily exist and recruit unsuspecting victims... excuse me, "Brand Partners" to sell their junk, in this case it's Black Oxygen Organics, or BOO for short. Marc Saint Onge grew up loving the bog dirt of Canada and surprisingly, has been selling it for years before converting his business model into a full on scam. As a cure-all Magic Dirt promises to cure many things, one of them being "ridding the body of heavy metals". Can you guess what Magic Dirt has a lot of after reading that last sentence?

After being delayed since last year due to the dreaded Spicy Cough, Australia's newest – and Aussie bands only – festival Uncaged is finally within sight of the first show in Sydney on April 23.Uncaged features an eclectic collection of bands, covering everything from rock to punk to metal and bringing them all together under one banner to provide a diverse line-up of bands that will have something to please everyone.Wolfmother, You Am I, Magic Dirt, The Superjesus, Killing Heidi, Tex Perkins and Shihad head the one day festival which will visit Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne, as well as a host of local bands such as Twelve Foot Ninja, Bodyjar, Tumbleweed, 28 Days, The Hard-Ons and more.Melbourne rockers I Built The Sky will also be performing at all three shows, with singer, songwriter Rohan Stevenson sitting down with HEAVY to chat about their part in the line-up.The first show in Sydney will be I built The Sky's first home live shows since the pandemic, with Stevenson saying April 23 can't come around quick enough."Absolutely, yeah,” he smiled. “We've been dying! It's been so long. I wanted to play big time in 2020 but that was off the table, so I'm more than dying to get back on stage."W press further and ask whether he is more excited, nervous, r anxious about getting back out on stage again which brought a smile to Stevenson's face."All of the above,” he laughed. “We've got a new lineup of musicians so we've been doing a lot of practicing in preparation. It's been such a long time since we've been on stage, so definitely nervous, but excited. I'm sure it's going to be great."In the full interview, Rohan discusses the diverse line-up and where I Built The Sky fit in, the importance of homegrown festivals, who he is most looking forward to seeing, tips on how to last the festival without peaking too early, the possibility of new music being played at the shows, upcoming album The Quiet Place Away, future plans and more.

I was like, let me ask the guys, and then he said do you want to just play Sydney or do you want to do all of them? And I said, is that an option? Of course, we want to do all of them, so it came out of nowhere but Danny has always been a big fan of Molly and what we do, and Danny and I have quite a few musical similarities so we always bonded over that."The lineup of bands covers many genres, with the diversity of music a main feature of Uncaged.We press Cateris on what he thinks Molly & The Krells bring to the festival."For diversity I reckon,” he shrugged “From memory there's not a lot of poppy, punky bands that are on the bill and I think it adds for a little diversity and a modern touch to what's going on in that lineup. Not to say the other bands are old but in terms of what's happening these days there's just a handful of acts. It's good to have a bit of youth and some young bloods on the lineup."In the full interview, Blake talks about the bands he is looking forward to playing with, what the band will take out of performing alongside some heavyweights, where he sees Uncaged heading in the future, tips on lasting the day, what we can expect from their set, whether the band will be playing any new songs, their last single Silver & Gold and the response it received from Rolling Stone, future plans and more.

COOPS IS WHAT IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS AN AUSSIE LARRIKAN AND ANYTHING HE SAYS SHOULD BE TAKEN WITH A GRAIN OF SALT OR A TABLESPOON OF SUGAR…After previous late aborted efforts to get the El Colossus train rolling as part of Uncaged the first show is less than seven sleeps away so are the band allowing themselves to get excited or are they still wary that the threat of the big C still looms large over the world? I don't like to be pessimistic but in reality anything could happen…"You know what, you're right,” Coops agreed. “Anything can happen. Let me just tow the corporate line for a while and say it's gonna be incredible and it's gonna be huge and it's about time that we actually started to get out there for festivals. Full credit to Danny Bazzi who has really put his name on the line to organise this. It's chopped and it's changed. COVID has not been kind to the industry to begin with, but I don't really see anyone else in the industry doing what Danny is doing with Silverback and he's actually prepared to take a lot of flak for it. Hats off to him mate, seriously. He's got balls, and what could be more attractive than a man with very big balls?"Another aspect where festival organisers are ahead of the game is their decision to take most of the line-up to each city rather than chop and change the roster depending on location.It shows confidence in the ability and drawing power of individual bands and is something that surely must increase the confidence of localized outfits, knowing the people behind the scenes have faith in their performance."Honestly, we're a pretty confident band to begin with,” Coops replied, tongue firmly planted in cheek. “It's funny. I actually had someone that I work with who had no idea that I play in a band - which is funny considering how much ink I have on my body and all that kind of thing - and she said that she had listened to some of the music and she couldn't understand why we weren't bigger and I could have gone into the whole spiel about the state of the music industry and all that kind of thing but it's actually something that we get a lot. People that take the time to listen to it often come back and say how come you guys aren't doing more stuff? Well, you know, that's the game. The thing that we really do, that we can really... not rest laurels on... but where we get our confidence from, is playing live. We are the best live band in the world, and I don't mind that getting out. If anyone that plays in a band doesn't think that about their own band, then why fucken play live? I know that really we're not the best but I like to think that we are. At least that we're up there (laughs)."In the full interview, Coops goes into greater details on why El Colosso are amongst the best bands in the world (and almost convinces us that they are in the process), what sorts of things a band can take out of playing festivals such as Uncaged, how important home grown festivals are for the future of Australian music, survival tips to make sure you are still standing for the final band, El Colosso's sound and where it comes from, future plans and more.

Bodyjar are a band many of us grew up with; seeing them at all ages shows and festivals, hearing their music on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, and voting them into many a Hottest 100. Eight years on from their last album, they're back with New Rituals, and on the day of it's release lead singer Cam Baines joined me to share his rituals across five songs. From their heroes Descendents, to the inspiration of Adalita, this is a coming of age story – not just of Cam, but all of us.

Australian music is on the rise.With the world around us locked out and international bands no longer on the immediate touring circuit, music fans are being forced to look into our homegrown talent more than ever and the results are showing.Not only are our emerging bands receiving more exposure, but some of our seasoned campaigners are also benefitting from local interest.More recognizable bands like Frenzal Rhomb, Grinspoon and The Superjesus are back on the touring wheel and slaying it with each performance, but other bands from that era – that are just as good but not as much in the media spotlight – are also finding a resurgence in popularity.One of those is Tumbleweed who this year celebrate 30 years in the Australian music industry. It is a milestone shared by the above bands and more, and one which is richly deserved for Tumbleweed who have always maintained a strong presence despite never quite reaching the same heights. Tumbleweed will be touring as part of the Uncaged Festival early next year, joining Magic Dirt, Kingswood, The Getaway Plan, The Superjesus, Tumbleweed, Bodyjar, End Of Fashion, The Hard Ons, The Meanies and Twelve Foot Ninja plus a host of rising bands such as Psycroptic, These Four Walls, Dregg and Lagerstein.Front man Richie Lewis joined HEAVY to discuss Uncaged and 30 years as a rock band."Yeah I am,” he beamed when I mention they must be looking forward to sharing the stage with their mates again – old and new. “We sort of feel like we're arrows that have been pulled back on a bow waiting to be released. That's how we feel. It's a real cool festival. I like how it's diverse. It's got old people like us and some of my great friends like The Hard Ons, The Meanies and Magic Dirt, and it's got a whole bunch of young uns as well which I'm looking forward to. I think that's a great thing about festivals full stop is I'm always surprised by something so I'm looking forward to seeing some of the other stuff as well."With a well balanced line-up of the past, present, and future, it could be easy to see festivals such as Uncaged as something of a changing of the guard, but as Lewis points out is could also be something far more simple."Or an appreciation of rock as a genre,” he smiled. “A celebration of all of it and what we've got in this country at the moment. Most of those bands... The Hard Ons just put out a fantastic album, Meanies are always putting out something. Magic Dirt, us, we're still alive and we're still putting out stuff so I think it's really cool we aren't being caught up in this trap of being something for the latest up and coming thing and being on the cool crew or whatever. They want to spread their wings wide and brought in everything that they like about Australian music."In the full interview, Richie tells us who he is most looking forward to playing with at Uncaged, bringing through the next generation of music, the fact it is a 100% Australian line-up, celebrating 30 years as a band, Tumbleweed's new singles box set which comes out on November 26, their anniversary run of shows and more.

Magic Dirt are one of Australia's most loved bands, from humble beginnings in Geelong, Victoria to the stages of legendary festivals like Big Day Out and Livid ,the band represent some of the best times spent at those gigs and have a special place in the hearts of those who were their to witness the mud sweat and beers of their sets.With their amps turned up to blistering levels and an unmatched energy, Adalita and the boys were always at the top of their game with memorable performances of tracks like "She-Riff", “Dirty Jeans”, "Supagloo" and "Plastic Loveless Letter" that alway got the fans singing along and throwing down in the pit.Magic Dirt will be hitting the road as part of the Spring Loaded Festival with fellow Oz music legends like Grinspoon, You Am I, Regurgitator and more, a tour that pays homage to some of the country's most beloved festivals gone by including Big Day Out, Homebake and Livid that helped launch these acts into the stereos and fondest memories of 90's punters, making them household names.We sat down with Adalita and Raúl from Magic Dirt to talk about the upcoming Spring Loaded Festival, some of their fondest memories of touring with fellow bands like Tumbleweed and Screamfeeder and more.Tickets for Spring Loaded are on sale now Venue details to come, sign up for pre-sale www.springloadedfestival.com.au***EVERBLACK PODCAST***SUBSCRIBE and STREAM HERE: https://linktr.ee/EverblackPodcastwww.everblack.com.auwww.facebook.com/Everblackmedia Thanks to : Deathwish Hotrods & KustomsRW Promotion Blacklight AD Screenprinting Electric Witch

After the overwhelming success of the inaugural Spring Loaded in pre-COVID days, this year the festival has returned bigger and better and is taking in a large chunk of the country in the process.Australian iconic 90’s bands have joined together to provide a nostalgic trip down memory lane with most of their faculties intact and ready to rock like it was last century!Bands such as Grinspoon, You Am I, Regurgitator, Jebediah, Magic Dirt, Frenzal Rhomb, Custard, The Fauves, The Meanies, Tumbleweed, Screamfeeder, Caligula and MC Lindsay ‘The Doctor’ McDougall have all assembled and hit the road, with the first show of the massive tour recently being held at Randwick in Sydney.Magic Dirt are a big part of proceedings, with frontwoman Adalita sitting down with HEAVY during the week to talk about the tour and 30 years of Magic Dirt.We start by pointing out the obvious that Spring Loaded is a massive undertaking of some of this countries finest past and present bands."It sure is,” Adalita smiled. “The old gang are back together (laughs). It's a huge festival. We did our first one in Sydney, thank God it happened. It was a bit of a knifes edge with the COVID cases there but we got through and did the first one not long ago and mate, it was unreal! We had the best time, the crowd loved it, and it was such a good vibe."Such is the spread of talent from the one era in the 1990s this could almost feel like a school reunion of sorts…“Almost?” Adalita laughed. “ It is! Oh my God, we're loving it. It's great to see everyone. some people just haven't aged! I'm backstage going 'are you drinking from the fountain of youth?' I dunno, Jay from Frenzal Rhomb looks exactly the same, what's going on? It's unreal."In the full interview, Adalita takes a trip down memory lane with some funny stories from touring in the past with these bands, discusses the healthy state of Australian music, Magic Dirt’s 30th birthday this year, some personal and band highlights from that period and more.

I still remember the first time I heard Magic Dirt. The burning sounds of their single “Ice” captured my 16 year old heart, and I can still recall climbing the stairs of my favourite city record store to buy their “Life Was Better” EP. Adalita was the coolest woman I knew; she shredded on stage and exuded the ultimate rock n roll attitude. In the years that would follow, I'd see them play on stages small and large, then follow Ads down her solo path to hear a whole other side of her musical heart. 2021 marks 20 years since Magic Dirt scored their highest placing in a Hottest 100 for their pop tinged song “Dirty Jeans”. It's also a year that Adalita plans to release her third solo album. In the years dotted around this, Adalita has gone through many evolutions in life and sound, and we explore the songs that took her there.

The Big Day Out was one of our most iconic festivals. Born in 1992 when the Australian festival calendar was way less crowded, this is where many of us return when we think about discovering our favourite bands, and our tribe, in the 90's. It'd always be hot, you'd spend ages planning your outfit and organising your friends. And even if you had a mental list of the bands you were desperate to see, there'd always be surprises… strange and wonderful experiences on the Lilypad Stage, dark and dank moments in the Boiler Room. You'd come home from a Big Day Out with a whole new bunch of artists to love. Imagine being on that traveling tour every year, looking through the lens of a camera. That was the job of Sophie Howarth – official photographer for the Big Day Out. From it's very first year, she was there; in the pit, on the stage, amongst the crowd and backstage. Capturing some of the most iconic images of the 90's. Sophie gave us an Access All Areas pass for her Take 5, and transported us to the first (and only) Nirvana tour on the maiden BDO, to babyfaced Silverchair and their furiously excited fans. She took us into the world of her own musical horizons expanding, and reminded us of the lasting legacy of our own incredible artists. This is one for the heart, from the heart.

Nirvana - 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' Silverchair - ‘Tomorrow' Warumpi Band – ‘Blackfella/Whitefella’ ASH - 'Girl From Mars' Magic Dirt - ‘Super Tear'

Australian musicians are a whole lot different compared to international acts, when they sing/write about certain subjects and topics, especially hard-hitting political issues, there's a sense of passion unlike anyone else doing the same thing and every now and then bands come and go, sometimes for short periods of time, however they leave a mark on the music industry which lasts for years to come, thats exactly what happened with Mammal when they burst onto the Australia heavy music scene a decade ago.  They were much loved and appreciated, then they called it quits. However, like all good things, new life has been given to the band and they're back bigger and better than ever and this week charismatic frontman Ezekiel Ox is our guest co-host and he's not holding back when it comes to discussing the issues most important to him. A well known and respected political activist and talented musician whose credits include fronting other acts such as Superheist, Full Scale, Over-Reactor and his solo work, the man has built up a legacy of fighting for what's right in the world and fighting to fix the world his son will grow up in, in years to come. Mammal are about to kick off a three-month long tour of Australia which has already proven to be one of the most sought-after gigs of the year with shows selling out all over the joint. Podcast host Browny also pays tribute to the late Vinnie Paul Abbott of Pantera and HellYeah fame who lost his life over the weekend after suffering a major heart attack at age 54. There's also a plethora of old-school Australian bands on the playlist this week including the newly reformed Magic Dirt who have announced some exclusive shows at the end of the year and into 2019, Karnivool, The Butterfly Effect, Superheist and Pagan as well as New Music for Circles, Flynn Effect, The Fever 333 and Falling In Reverse. #WoSUATW #Mammal #EzekielOx #AustralianBands #Superheist #FullScale #Karnivool #Circles #MagicDirt #TheButterflyEffect #TBE #Saliva #NuMetal #Pantera #VinniePaul #VinniePaulAbbott #RIPVinniePaul #DimebagDarrell #HellYeah #TheFever333 #BareBones #FallingInReverse #RonnieRadke #FlynnEffect #Pagan #DevilDriver #WallOfSoundAU #Podcast #MusicPodcast #iTunesPodcast #SpotifyPodcast #GooglePodcasts #HeavyMetal #HardRock

How Magic Dirt went from Geelong pubs to Australian rock stardom.

Today we are talking with Matt Wenk of Smidge Wines about winemaking styles, specifically asking Matt where he stands - fruit forward or bold tannins? Here's what we'll cover in the podcast today. -What do we mean by fruit forward? -What are tannins? How does their presence change the flavor of wine? -How has Matt seen wine styles change? -Why do wine styles evolve? Does it have anything to do with the way wine is consumed, with or without a meal? -Are there are particular varietals that lend themselves to the lighter approach? -What wines deserve to “stay bold”? Among Smidge’s line, the Houdini range, and the Magic Dirt range? -Has Matt felt the need to change the style of Smidge wines over the years? -What does the “rise of rosé” signal about changing wine tastes?

War Pigs: Describing their music in terms of epic space and divine cut throat blues sounds fairly audacious, but instrumental drone two piece Warpigs are not too far off the money. Made up of drummer Brian O’Dwyer and Andrew ‘Poly’ Polydourou, they’re an experimental group not afraid to indulge in a bit of ambient noise. The feature set we have for you today is a journey into the maw of carthathis and comes the band’s performance at The Old Bar in Melbourne around about March 2013. We also managed to catch up with Brian from the band to have a bit of a chat about how important live performance is to a band like Warpigs. Recorded and mixed by Brian O’Dwyer with some additional mixing from Dusty Anastassiou Recorded at the Old Bar, Melbourne, 2013. Adalita: I really don’t need to waste your time spruiking the credentials of Adalita Srsen. The charismatic singer of Geelong’s legendary Magic Dirt released a fine debut solo record way back in 2011. Our friends at BeauFM were present to record part of her set at BigSound 2011 and Live Delay is pleased to give some digital radio love to some of Adalita’s sublime live performance. Recorded and mixed by Matt Denver of D4 Studios at BigSound 2011 Produced by John Robinson for BeauFM. Airing details: First aired via Zed Digital, 8-9pm, Friday 5 July 2013.
