Proudly presenting the sweet new track from DUNE RATS before it gets shipped off to radio. Vacation vibes all ’round, ‘Pogo’ is the first single off the band’s second EP Social Atoms, which is set for release this month.

Win tix to BSR Showcase

The Maple Trail - ‘Highwire’ (mp3)

Caitlin Park - ‘Warriors With Wild Hearts’ (mp3)

Sister Jane – ‘Great Highway’ (mp3)

Magnetic Heads – ‘ In The Name Of Fame’ (mp3)

Broken Stone Records are shipping off a handful of bands to Melbourne next week for one night only. Stoked that one man dynamo Aidan Roberts aka. The Maple Trail will bringin’ along some picturesque folk to the bill. Last year’s ‘Highwire’ EP was a good spin but will be swell to hear some oldies also. Also expect jangly Triffids-type pop from Magnetic Heads and tunes from Caitlin Park. Joining them will be Sister Jane (ft. members from Bells Will Ring) who’ve just put out their debut ‘Mercy’.

Happenings are at the Empress Hotel on Friday the 4th of March @ 7pm.

As per usual, we’ve got free stuff for y’all and we’re handing out a double pass. Want it? Hit up rsvp@whothehell.net with your details by 5pm Thursday 3rd March.

Win I OH YOU passes

Kids climbing trees, coppers herding a few hundred out of a Richmond backyard before 12 and waking up with considerable bruises the following morning after being pelted in the face with lemons. A year, a few more yard/warehouse shindigs and a few band signings later, I OH YOU seem to understand what productive partying really is. If grinding up against international visitors (Yeasayer/Foals) in a foam pit takes your fancy, or alternatively if you’re in it for the tunes (DZ/Ships Piano/Loon Lake etc.) hit us up at rsvp@whothehell.net by 5pm this Thursday with your best party antics and your details to go in the running for a double pass.

Sydney’s gig features the phenomenal line-up of all the bands featured above (and Spod, whose song wouldn’t upload for some reason. I blame my work computer. Check back tonight for some Spod love).

Anyway, you gotta dress up and get in the swing of things because all the bands will be dressing up as a deceased band and beginning their set with a cover of that band. It’s like a Phish Halloween gig, but without the hippies-cum-lawyers. And about two hours shorter.

Anyway, we have a prize pack for one reader than includes a double pass to the gig + a copy of Dappled Cities’ Zounds + a Dapplied Cities tea towel, to help bring the Oz indie rock to drying the dishes yo.

If you’re keen, email rsvp@whothehell.net with the subject “SYDNEY HALLOWEEN” by 5pm today. You know you want to. Do it. Include yr name and all that as well.

Meanwhip, Brisbane’s gig has the above four bands doing their thang. It’s also a dress-up so you gotta get yr costume on. Anyone coming as Twilight characters gets a cronch punch.*

We’ve got a double pass for the gig on offer. Again, email rsvp@whothehell.net with the subject “BRISBANE HALLOWEEN” by 5pm today. Make sure you give us your name etc.
