Last Boat Mp3

Listen to

I came across Montpelier a little while ago with their self titled EP in 2009, initial thoughts of Coldplay and Arcade Fire as points of departure, but certainly strong song writers to keep an eye on. The bands new material has improved out of sight, working with Aria nominated producer Tim Powles (Regular John, The Church) has had an impact on the bands direction, with production quality and moving closer to their own unique sound. The first single, Last Boat, employs the epic intro, building up to the rather huge beat that drops to get the head nodding. The album demos also sound very promising. Check it out.

The boys are setting out on a Mini tour to support the single, so check the myspace for deets!

Grolsch Grid

, , No Comment

Tonight the Grolsch Grid kicks off. They claim it’s good Dutch lager, but I’m too uniformed to know otherwise. Decent brew or not, the guys have put together a collab celebrating local creativity to please your eyes and ears over the next few nights.

Art and audiovisual happenings will be hitting the streets of Melb’s CBD from Oct 21 – Oct 24.

Grolsch have partnered up with the creative minds behind the likes of Alpha 60, Gorker Gallery, Somewhere Store, Vice and more, who’ll be putting up limited edition street posters around the city, so keep an eye out.

Nothing quite says ‘Melbourne’ like pulling up an empty wooden crate/oil can/garbage lid in a seedy Chinatown alleyway, having smoke blown in your face by the hipster collective and listening to an occasional rad tune. Tonight Broken Pixel, Charles Ives Singers, Sone, Netzair & Kod will kick off the proceedings at Section 8 from 8pm. Collarbones and a heap of other interesting acts are also on the bill. It’s free, and well worth checking out.

Miracle – ‘Better Days’

Listen to

I’ve recently discovered this 18 year old rapper born in Ghana but now residing in western Sydney. The word is that he got signed to his label based on this song based on Pete Murray‘s track Better Days, a track he made for his high school music assignment, which is very impressive. He also has a track sampling Angus and Julia Stone‘s very popular Big Jet Plane
