POPULARITY
Interview by Kris PetersFrom humble beginnings in Adelaide, party rock outfit West Thebarton have spread their metaphorical wings far and wide, drawing all who listen deeper into their intricate musical web of enjoyment.Since announcing themselves on the scene with their 2015 debut EP West Thebarton Brothel Party, which catapulted them into the earholes of fans and industry professionals alike, West Thebarton have continued to grow at their own pace and volition.The years between West Thebarton Brothel Party and their 2018 debut studio album, Different Beings Being Different, saw a marked evolution within the band. Line-up and name changes brought the group into a new era, one that West Thebarton have continued to flourish within since.Which brings us to 2024. West Thebarton have experienced the full plethora of trials and tribulations life can throw at you over the last five years with personal life changes: parenthood, love, loss, moves interstate and moves overseas all having the potential to derail this rock train short of their second stop.But fear not, for Adelaide's favourite sons have returned with their second album Mongrel Australia, which finds the band at the crest of a particularly high creative peak; focussing on what lay ahead instead of dwelling in the past.Vocalist/guitarist The Reverend joined HEAVY to bring us up to speed."We've just got a new record out called Mongrel Australia," he began. "It came out a couple of weeks ago, but we're heading out on the road, ready to take on all the East Coast cities."We ask how Mongrel Australia was received after a lengthy break between albums."Number one, it's been awesome just to be out there, to be honest," he replied. "We've been sitting on these songs and playing them live for a couple of years now with everything that's been going on. So just having it out there in the world has been a huge sigh of relief for us. We were super anxious putting them out there and seeing how they would be received, but so many people have been telling us how awesome it is to have a new record out there that they can listen from end to end. Also, there's been a bit of a change of tone on some of the songs on this record. We were in a bit of a different place on the second record compared to the first record, and so some of the content and themes are a little bit different. We've had a bunch of people reach out to say this is awesome to hear some of the slower songs. We've got a song called Slow on there which is very stripped back - it's not very chainsaw to the throat West Thebarton like (laughs)- but people are really loving it, which is awesome to hear. That's one of the things you always worry about as a musician is are your fans going to enjoy the stuff you put out."In the full interview, The Reverend discusses the process of going into an album and internal talks about the possible direction, Mongrel Australia from a musical perspective, which three songs he would advise people listen to from the album to best get to know the band, how it differs musically to their debut album Different Beings Being Different, what has changed in the band between albums, the early days of the band, their upcoming tour, what to expect from West Thebarton live and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

James Rolevink and his wife, Rai, received just under $30,000 to look after vegetation on their Forreston property. That money was a small slice of the $1.3 million paid out to private landowners late last year as part of the State Government's Native Vegetation Heritate Agreement program. James has a legally-binding agreement to look after specified native vegetation and his story is fascinating. (The image on the show notes for this episode is the Blue Fairy Orchid, taken by James Rolevink). The SA Drink Of The Week is The Soloist 2021 Shiraz by Coriole, and it does link in nicely with our main topic. And in the Musical Pilgrimage, we feature the new single "Humble Heart" by West Thebarton, offering a taste of their upcoming album "Mongrel Australia." Plus a special cheerio to U3A Flinders (University of the Third Age), where Steve spoke recently about 10 years of podcasting. We hear from one "volunteer", Elizabeth Bleby, and we should thank Steve's mum, Yvonne Davis, for lobbying for the talking spot.

Oh, and here's our index of all episode in one concisepage Running Sheet: Protecting Native Plants From Kangaroos In The Adelaide Hills 00:00:00 Intro Introduction 00:04:38 SA Drink Of The Week The SA Drink Of The Week this week is the 2021 The Soloist Shiraz from Coriole. As Steve notes in his tasting, apart from loving this wine, he compares the nature of The Soloist vineyard to the work James is doing on behalf of the native plants he is now custodian of. All will be explained. 00:08:44 James Rolevink After losing everything in the Cudlee Creek bushfires, James Rolevink and his wife, Rai, bought a property at Forreston in the Adelaide Hills, hoping to start a new chapter in their lives. Well, little did they realise that before too long, the State Government gave them close to $30,000 to look after their garden. Well, that's not exactly the situation. As you're about to hear, James received this money to help his family protect rare and threatened native plants from, among other things, kangaroos. James, welcome to The Adelaide Show podcast. Before we get into the grant and the plants, I need to ask about Cudlee Creek because I am 100% sure that I have no idea what it would be like to lose everything in a bushfire. In the hope that it might spur more of us to take our bushfire planning more seriously, what are some of the consequences of the bushfire that took you by surprise, that you didn't foresee? Today is tipped to reach 40 degrees. How present is the threat of bushfire in your mind? Our native plants have evolved to regenerate after bushfires, before we talk about them, can you see now that new things were generated within you and Rai as a result of this experience? Now, I'm told that when you and Rai saw this property, everybody else was looking left while you were looking right. What had caught your eye that the others were missing? Had you always known about native plants? What prompted your interest? Something that was counterintuitive when I first heard about your story, was native plants being threatened by kangaroos. To be fair, I suppose we have squeezed roos out of their habitat and we have put lots of paddocks of vegetation into place that helps them breed. Can you talk us through the situation and how it really sent you down the Heritage Agreement rabbit hole, so to speak? Actually, our episode on the History Of Rabbits In Australia is fascinating and worth a listen. Do any of the native plants on your property bear fruit that can be eaten because then I could say the grant is "money for jam"? I mentioned the temperature earlier, it's going to hit 40 today. We know native plants cope with bushfires by regenerating afterwards, but how do they get through these boiling days? Do these plants attract native birds? They can't protect themselves from kangaroos, what about introduced grazing animals, any luck there? Did our colder, wetter start to summer impact anything? What will you be expecting to see develop through autumn and winter? Any tips for home gardeners in relation to natives? And if someone in a bushfire zone asked you what is the minimum they could do to get by, safely, what would you recommend? 00:49:44 Musical Pilgrimage In the Musical Pilgrimage, we feature the new single from West Thebarton, Humble Heart. West Thebarton is hitting the road this year with its ‘Mongrel Australia' Album Tour With Guests OK Hotel. The single, Humble Heart, is from their new studio album, Mongrel Australia, which will drop on March 22, 2024. If you're up for their high octane rock, you'll want to get tickets to see them live at The Gov on Friday, June 21, 2024. Tickets at westthebarton.com.

Another week, another two Aussie albums! Super stoked to be joined by Tom Gordon & Ray Dalfsen from one of our favourite bands West Thebarton this week to pit one of Ray's favourite albums by Eddy Current Suppression Ring, 'Rush To Relax', against Tom's choice of 'Vessels' by fellow Adelaide outfit Wolf & Cub. Both bands and records have influenced Tom and Ray in more ways than one, and both albums rip.
