Mel Buttle first thought Future Islands had a, "dumb name". Watching them at Splendour In The Grass changed that.

No new artist chat this week, but we've dipped back into the archives to find one of our favourite interviews to revisit. In 2022, we caught up with producer and DJ Dillon Francis ahead of his Splendour in the Grass set. We cover the perils of high-altitude paint balling, travel conundrums at local NZ airports, and who listeners should have seen at that year's festival (immediately before Max got the worst bout of 'VID).Discover more new music and hear your favourite artists with 78 Amped on Instagram and TikTok.

Benson represents everything that your parents hate, He plays loud sub bass driven house music, drinks a dangerous amount of alcohol & stays out way past his bedtime. Benson resides in Melbourne these days but spends a lot of time blowing up expensive sound systems in clubs around Australia & abroad. His DJ sets are loud, fun & extremely offensives . Benson has worked with labels as Sweat It Out, Ministry Of Sound & Sony BMG while still finding time to manage his very own boutique label “Medium Rare Record​ings”. Benson has also “shredded” stages at the following music festivals: Splendour In The Grass, Falls Festival, Listen Out, Southbound, Stereosonic & Parklife. If you enjoy good music, having a laugh and high 5s then you and Benson will get along just fine

Interview by Kris PetersEskimo Joe are in the rare and elite class of Australian bands who could probably never make another album again, but still draw people to their shows based solely on the quality of material they have released thus far.Two songs in particular - Love Is A Drug and Black Fingernails, Red Wine - have etched Eskimo Joe into Australian music folklore, but their 27-year journey has seen many more highlights and relatable songs.The band built their reputation playing festivals such as Big Day Out and Splendour In The Grass, but of late have been playing nostalgia-type festivals featuring classic bands from the past few decades that are still going strong.The most recent of which was Lookout Festival which featured Incubus, Live, Eskimo Joe, The Superjesus and Birds Of Tokyo. It was a series of concerts that drew consistently high numbers and reaffirmed Eskimo Joe's standing amongst the country's elite live bands, despite having not released a full album since Wastelands in 2013.With the release of their first single since 99 Ways in 2021 - a nostalgic number called The First Time - Eskimo Joe are embarking on a new chapter of their careers and learning to embrace the very fabric of music that excited them nearly three decades ago.HEAVY caught up with bass guitar/keyboards/vocals Kav Temperley to find out more."This is certainly the first song we've put out post-COVID where we've actually played some shows in front of people and then recorded a song, which is a very different feeling," he said. "I think we've hit a real purple patch. Since we saw you at Sandstone Point, all of the shows that we have been playing have been these big, almost nostalgia fests. We've noticed that the gigs are filled with people who are in their early 20s to their 60s and 70s. They are people who would have been 5 or 6 when Black Fingernails, Red Wine first came out, and people who would have discovered us when we first put out Sweater. We've kind of hit this really interesting place where we're not cool or uncool anymore, we just occupy this Eskimo Joe shaped hole in the music industry, which is great. Putting out a new song has been wicked. Definitely the best pickup we've had at radio since 2010 I guess, but everyone is receiving it really well."In the full interview, Kav talks more about The First Time and its sonic direction, the film clip that traces the history of the band over the last 20-odd years, if it is a stand-alone track or part of something bigger, the shows with Live and Incubus, some things they have learnt about themselves and their bandmates over 20 plus years of touring, the just started National Acoustic Theatre Tour and what to expect, playing the more intimate shows and the higher level of fan interaction, future plans and more.

Join Timothy Carroll and Oscar Dawson of Holy Holy as they sit down with Matty O on Triple M Homegrown to commemorate a decade of incredible music and memories. From their chance encounter as English teachers in Thailand to their rise to worldwide success, this episode takes you on an unforgettable journey through the band's remarkable history. The conversation begins with the boys reminiscing about their time in Thailand, where they initially crossed paths but struggled to master the local language. Fast forward to the present day, and their journey has led them to heights they could have never imagined during those early days. Back in Australia, Tim shares a heartwarming memory of witnessing Oscar's previous band, 'Dukes of Windsor,' achieve their own success. Little did they know that their paths would converge again in Sweden, where Oscar found himself crashing on Tim's couch while working on a 'Dukes of Windsor' record in Berlin, Germany. With minimal production experience and basic equipment, Tim approached Oscar with some musical ideas. Being the production wiz he is, Oscar jumped in to help bring those ideas to life. The duo's chemistry was undeniable, and though they never intended to form a band, the magic they created together was undeniable. Their first song 'Impossible Like You,' released in 2013, exceeded all expectations, receiving national radio airplay and opening doors to countless gigs. This unforeseen success set them on a course that would change their lives forever. Tim and Oscar also share touching moments they've experienced with fans, from encountering devoted admirers with tattoos of their lyrics to fans claiming they gave birth to a non-stop playlist of Holy Holy music. Matty takes the duo on a nostalgic trip down Memory Lane, reliving some of their biggest shows to date. The recounting of their first major gig at the Palais Theatre brings laughter as they recall committing a rookie mistake of forgetting their equipment – a tale that has become part of their band's folklore. Going behind the scenes at Splendour in the Grass, Tim and Oscar recall their exhilarating experience performing at the festival, from braving the mud to camping on site and even playfully sharing a stolen bottle of Jamison from Oh Mercy. In a surprising twist, they share an amusing story of being mistaken for a David Bowie cover band due to their band name "Holy Holy." The episode concludes with delightful anecdotes of their encounters with music sensations Billie Eilish and Coolio at Groovin The Moo, solidifying their position in the music world as artists who have had the honor of sharing moments with music icons.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Being a band that proudly represents the distinct Aussie sound, Roy shares insights on how international audiences have responded to their music while on tour. He also sheds light on the band's creative process when they're away from home, giving listeners an inside look into their songwriting approach. Growing up in remote Australia, Roy provides a glimpse into what it's like sharing their experiences with friends from their hometown. The connection to their roots plays a significant role in King Stingray's music and identity. In a game of Memory Lane, Roy takes us back to some of King Stingray's past gigs, sharing his memories and highlighting the influence of The Chats on their electrifying live performances. The rawness and grit of The Chats have inspired King Stingray to deliver powerful shows. The conversation delves into the impact of COVID-19 lockdowns on King Stingray's trajectory. Roy reflects on how the band has thrived in these challenging times, building resilience and overcoming numerous hurdles. Roy expresses his admiration for "Australia's sweethearts," Ball Park Music, and their lead singer, Sam Cromack, who has been an incredible source of support for King Stingray.

Get ready to relive the electrifying atmosphere and discover how this legendary musician left the crowd in awe. Additionally, we bring you the latest headlines from the festival, focusing on the challenges faced by Scottish sensation Lewis Capaldi. Despite recently cancelling shows to rest up for Glastonbury, Capaldi encountered obstacles during his set. Battling anxiety and a strained voice, the Scottish icon found solace in the unwavering support of his loyal fans, who rallied behind him every step of the way. Notably, the talented singer-songwriter, who disclosed his diagnosis of Tourette's syndrome in 2022, courageously declared towards the end of his set, "We're going to play two more songs if that's okay, even if I can't sing perfectly." As anticipation mounts for Capaldi's upcoming headline show at Splendour In The Grass in late July, the question looms: Will the singer-songwriter be able to take the stage? With his health taking precedence, speculation abounds, leaving fans and critics alike pondering the outcome. Join us as we delve into the rumors and explore the impact of Capaldi's health on his highly anticipated performance at Splendour In The Grass.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The greatest work of the first phase of Almodóvar's career; the first to be released in the US; the second for the Tesauro S.A. Production Company. In this podcast we discuss the film in relation to his three previous features, to Eloy de la Iglesias' ‘quinqui' films dealing with working class kids encountering the wave of drugs then flooding into Spain, to Italian neo-realism, and to camp. We praise Carmen Maura, note the first of appearance of Almodóvar's mother in his work; and remark on the many reasons why it would be extremely difficult to make this film today. We discuss the continuing send-up of advertisements, the sophistication of the camera placement, the ways the film might be considered post-modern, the citations of a history of cinema, though style but also through explicit referencing (Kazan's SPLENDOUR IN THE GRASS) ….and much more.

Here's everything we know so far. Plus, Comic-Con International was held in San Diego this weekend, one of the largest comics and pop culture events in the world. It's an event TV and movie studios save their most important release news for, so let's talk through the biggest and most surprising reveals to come out of Comic-Con. And after a COVID-induced hiatus, Splendour in the Grass returned this weekend and things seemed to be looking up for Australia's hard-hit music industry. But thanks to an unprecedented rainfall situation, the worst in the 21-year history of the event, shows were cancelled, campsites were destroyed and hundreds of festival goers were left without transport.

It's no great secret that Glass Animals are a band who have steadily charmed the world with their affable and dreamy take on indie pop and rock.For over a decade, the beloved UK group have gone on to unveil three studio albums, including their most recent full-length Dreamland. Alongside releases, the band are also currently nominated for a Grammy award in 2022 - and closer to home here in Australia, their iconic track Heat Waves took out the coveted #1 spot on the Triple J Hottest 100 of 2020, of course, but more recently the track also scored the crown as Spotify's most streamed track in 2021, and also took out the #1 spot on the 2021 Aria end of year singles chart. Not too shabby for a track released a year and a half ago.Glass Animals are an anomaly in the best possible way, conjuring otherworldly psychedelic pop and hypnotic electronica in their recordings, while also often reworking their tracks to be more dance friendly for their live sets - and Aussie fans are set to cop the group live in technicolour action later this year, with the group lined up to play their biggest headline shows to date, including Perth, Sydney and Melbourne in July, and they're also on deck for the sold out Splendour In The Grass extravaganza lined up for July as well. And along for the ride, of course, will be a long-awaited live celebration of the group's sublime 2020 album Dreamland. But before the band return to their adoring fans here in Australia later this year (and for the first 2022 episode of The Green Room): today frontman Dave Bayley joins host Tiana Speter to discuss live shows, personal songwriting, what kept him going through the pandemic and new music confirmation and much more - including the fact that host Speter scarily and somewhat poetically had some glass shatter in front of her thanks to a storm the moment the interview Zoom call started.IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:Glass Animals being "honorary Australians" and finally returning down under to tour their album DreamlandThe history of Glass Animals playing in Australia, and a particularly memorable Falls Festival moment for Dave featuring an Aussie fan and a belt made out of goon bagsWhy Dave loves playing at festivals, and Dave accidentally reveals his go-to festival disguise to get out and about in the crowdWhat we can expect from a Glass Animals show in 2022, and what it was really like to play their first live show post-lockdown in the UK (hint: there were nerves and possibly tears)The contributing factors that led to their 2020 album Dreamland being more personal than previous Glass Animals material, and how the band felt when the album was finally releasedThe incredible success for Heat Waves, both globally and here in Australia, and the contribution the love down under had to Dave traversing the COVID-19 pandemicDave chats about his love of Australia, Aussie crowds compared to other countries and how his mum's new boyfriend may contribute to him being in Australia more oftenWhy Dave currently finds himself loving festival shows compared to more intimate venues (for now)Dave reminisces about the first ever official Glass Animals live show, warts and all, as well as how it helped them positively evolve and led to their early Australian performancesWhat bands and artists caught Dave's ears in 2021, including Aussie artist D. D DumboDave reveals some minor secrets about what Glass Animals are cooking up in 2022 (hint: new music)Dave's key item on the rider when Glass Animals are on the road (Jerry Seinfeld would approve), and why we might be able to get our hands on a Dave Bayley cereal sometime soon See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

How can we turn a creative concept into an authentic product that thousands of people are hungry to invest their hard earned money into, months before they get to experience it, and which relies on relatively limited marketing? Jess Ducrou is co-CEO of Secret Sounds, a Live Nation partner, and producer of Australia's premier festivals including Splendour In The Grass and Falls Music and Arts Festival along with its portfolio of companies including Secret Sounds Touring, Secret Service Artist Management, Village Sounds (promotions), Dew Process (record label), Dew Process Publishing and Secret Sounds Connect (brand agency). Here Jess talks passion, perseverance and presenting ideas, as she pulls back the curtain on how remarkable experiences are everything when it comes to engaging audiences and nurturing a truly valuable community year after year.Takeaway points:With live experiences especially, energy, aspiration and the unexpected are important traits that can help a consumer transcend functional product benefits and move them towards advocacy and heightened lifetime value. Even with large audiences, the relevance of sub communities shouldn't be overlooked – the more individuals and groups that feel their unique interests are understood and acted upon, the more value they extract from their interactions, compelling them to share positive stories. If customers can be afforded a space to comfortably and confidently contribute, fertile ground for inspiration can be found, which can birth a suite of ideas to distill into new angles which will maintain relevance and interest over extended cycles. Exposing customers to new things involves some degree of risk, but the potential rewards of uncovering something that really cuts through can outweigh these, especially when innovation is a core component of why customers trust a company. In the partnerships and sponsorship space, brands are becoming increasingly savvy about the need to craft meaningful experiences which go deeper than mass awareness branding in highly stimulating, activity abundant environments. New ways of connecting and communicating fast-tracked by the COVID-19 pandemic will stay with us, both in terms of internal processes and external consumer touchpoints. However, without foresight as to how these can be honed to enhance what went before, rather than implemented ‘just because', they could prove a distraction in some cases. Remarkable Quotes:[06:15] “I was very aware that to be successful in what you do the books need to balance, you need to be able to make financial sense of what you're doing. So passion, for sure, as your driver, but having a good understanding of financials…was incredibly important, to understand how money worked, how deals worked, how to cut things in a way that everyone feels good about what the outcome is, bringing people to the table.” [33:31] “Even though we're now feeling positive and certainly working to have a very busy year next year, it's going to be a long tail to recovery for us. I think probably psychologically, when your job, your industry suddenly disappears, it's pretty confronting…we couldn't have been in a worse industry for a pandemic.” [47:08] “Create an experience where they're going to be engaged, where they're going to get into a space and have the time of their lives. Think about what you want to experience when you go out and try and create that for other people. Create the ultimate festival for ourselves and invite everyone along with us.” Get connected with Jess and her team:Visit their website: www.secretsounds.com.au  Follow them on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/secretsounds
