Last Saturday night, the heavens scheduled a quick reprieve from pouring down on Melbourne and I found myself hungry, heartbroken and with $38 to my name, watching the Slingers perform at the Brunswick Ball Room. With each soaring guitar slide and lyric delivered with utmost gusto, I gently swayed and locked arms with my pal, feeling a small part of my soul heal again.

Winter is well and truly fast approaching in Melbourne, as people began to pour into the Old Bar in Fitzroy last Thursday night for warmth and wonder, the latter courtesy of Perth indie-rocker Noah Dillon.

Do you like folk? Gentle, soothing harmony? Well; this song is for you, my little muffins. Maja Puseljic (My-a) is a folk singer/songwriter from Brisbane, now living in Melbourne. Mother’s Daughter was written as a personal way to cope with such a hug…

This is an album that is focusing on the message, rather than the messenger. Sure, these songs are absolutely fabulous and works of art in their own right, but just listen to what Josh is saying, and I promise you will be better for it.
