THE
MEANING OF (ROCK N’ ROLL) LIFE - The
idea was to simultaneously interview three artists, each at
very different stages of their careers. Baz
Bardoe got together with Motorace’s
Patch, Sarah McLeod and 67 Special’s Ash to discuss the
making of their new albums.
TAXIRIDE - Instant
success for your debut album is a goal most bands aspire to. For
Melbourne band Taxiride, that’s exactly what happened with their
first disc "Imaginate".
On
a typically brisk Melbourne morning not too far from the city skyline,
Australian Musician’s Greg Phillips found Taxiride in a rehearsal
complex preparing for their upcoming tour and promotion of their
third, but first independently released album "Axiomatic".
SIMON
BRUCE - Strumming a Christmas gift
guitar at five, playing Nashville at 15, touring North America
with Tommy Emmanuel at 18, young gun troubadour and Bob Dylan
enthusiast Simon Bruce has finally delivered his debut album "Restless
Thoughts".
NUNO BETTENCOURT - A
new signature series Washburn guitar range, a band with a new name
and a new album on the verge of release, were three reasonably good
reasons to bring Nuno Bettencourt to Australia. Australian Musician’s
Greg Phillips spoke with the master guitarist in his hotel room on
the eve of the tour.
MAGIC
DIRT'S ADALITA - Australian
Musician’s Greg Phillips speaks to front person Adalita about
the making of 'Snow White' and the mindset of Magic Dirt at this point
in their career.
END
OF FASHION - As part of an early
incarnation of The Sleepy Jackson, band members Justin Burford
and Rod Aravena were always going to seek an alternative voice
for their own material. End Of Fashion was the vehicle they
chose to fulfil that prophecy.
