This week Hockey Dad's 'Blend Inn' album is six years old, Vale Wayne Kramer, The Grogans album from last year comes highly recommended, play list updates via Hits From The Gong and Before Somewhere.
It's a wrap on the Hottest 100, Radio Birdman have announced a 50th anniversary tour, Brisbane trio Budd return and a fresh playlist featuring seventies Antipodean disco, funk and soul sounds.
Back for another round of Counter Culture. This weekend there is a Sesame Girl instore, Richie Weed and Tropical Strength are touring Melbourne. I also highlight the upcoming Witch Australian tour and give a bit of a Zamrock introduction for those not in the know, and I've also created a brand new playlist that fans of pioneering Australian guiatr music should dig. This week's cover photo is a very special shot of Tumbleweed playing the Melbourne Big Day Out thirty years ago this week that popped up on the Weedfreaks Unite page.
Introducing the Counter Culture blog. I started this as a virtual version of the conversations over the store counter where I can recommend records, tell you about shows to go to, let you know about new music and re-live stories. I was also inspired to do this from a recent guest host spot that I did for Heavy Demo 2SER FM. I'll be posting a new one weekly, each Wednesday.
