TUNE!FM 106.9

Sydney hip hoppers Bliss n Eso's new album "Flying Colours" has entered the ARIA charts at #10 in its first week. Bliss n Esso rumbled the foundations of The Stro last friday night on the Unified Tour.

Six piece experimental indie outfit, The Seabellies are fast becoming one of the most fresh, exciting and talked about bands to come out of Newcastle in a long while. Their memorable live act and quirkily addictive songs set them apart from most other bands on the scene at the moment.

Starting this week, TUNE! FM will be running Rockin the shed every Sunday at 8pm.

Rockin the Shed is a radio show based on playing rock music from around the globe, whether its signed or unsigned, if it sounds good it gets played! Based on your requests, votes, and our constant research for fresh new music & artists, Rockin The Shed aims to bring you the songs you want to hear and take pleasure in hearing. 

TUNE! FM PRESENTS HOMECOMING!!!! Featuring the Seabellies, Bamboo bangas anonymous, DJ Hazchem, DJ Danger and Trashionista.

The Seabellies are an experimental outfit that combine elegant electronic sounds, rock layers, strange, unusual and pretty instruments, with melodic vocals. The kind of sound you would expect to hear if you walked into your favourite recurring dream and got in a glass elevator that took you 3 km’s into the sky and you can see and hear everything, only its different. Homecoming will be held at The Stro Thursday May 8. Entry $5. Over 18's only.

Every now and then a new band comes along who capture your imagination and heart in equal measure. Every time you hear them you get a little thrill and you just know you’re going to love whatever they do next.

At the moment that band for me is the ever lovely London based five piece, Cajun Dance Party. They released 2 singles last year both of which I feel head over heels for from the first listen. And now, finally, they’re releasing their debut album, The Colourful Life.

Tapes ‘N Tapes 2006 debut album, The Loon, was condemned by many for lacking in originality and depth. Now, a couple of years on, the Minneapolis boys have just released their sophomore album, Walk It Off, and I have a feeling this is the record that will have all those non-believers out there seriously rethinking their position.

London based indie popsters, Young Knives have recently released their sophomore LP, Superabundance through Warner Records.

The results of which are everything you’d expect from an up and coming indie group on the scene today. Recorded in Scotland and produced by Tony Doogan, Superabundance is a fantastic follow-up by any standards.

It’s been quite a while between releases for Melbourne based indie-synth-electro popsters, Cut Copy. But in that time they’ve built up an international reputation as some of the best in the business. Having toured with the likes of Franz Ferdinand, Bloc Party and Daft Punk, winning hearts all the while.

I devoured Era Vulgaris completely. It was my album of 2007. The songs were incredible, varied, and produced to such an enviable degree. It’s for this reason that I gladly handed over $80 for a ticket to QOTSA’s Melbourne sideshow, as they stepped away from the mammoth V Festival line-up.
