[MUSIC: Interview] 360
“The new tour is going to be pretty different from the ‘Boys Like You’ tour,” says 360, real name Matt Colwell. “It’s actually going to be insane. I reckon it’s gonna be one of the highlights of the year, for me anyway. We’re gonna be doing a much longer set which will include a lot of the older and newer stuff – we’re just trying to incorporate as much material as we can into one show. I don’t want it to be just one rapper and a DJ, that’s getting boring now; I’m planning on having lots of special guests, and adding really cool visual elements to the performance.”

[MUSIC: Interview] Graveyard Train
“The concept of the band came before the band itself,” singer Nick Finch says. I’ve asked whether his infamous horror/country/chain-gang collective Graveyard Train have become more concept-focused than intended. “The idea was to have a country-horror band with a whole bunch of guys making a whole bunch of noise on stage and singing songs about death and stuff. It has really developed a lot since then; we were a lot more country in the early days, but we are not really now.” The band are getting set to launch their new album Hollows, a dark and rollicking eleven tracks of minor chords and morbid lyrics. “I wonder if fans are going to like this,” he says. “It’s a long way from where it started.”

[MUSIC: Interview] Sampology
Not many people can mash together a clip of Tom Hanks with Dr. Dre and not only make it funny, but somehow effortlessly cool.

[MUSIC: Interview] The Jezabels
Hayley Mary, the singer and the face of Sydney’s The Jezabels, has just arrived in Seattle and is settling in for a rare day off when we talk. At just 25 years of age, she is weary from travel and repetitive interviews but still incredibly warm, and exhibits a confusion over why anyone would be interested in her that’s both self-effacing and charming. She is shocked that she is morphing, slowly, into a bona fide rock star; the personification of a band that began at the University of Sydney as a four-part democracy of simple music making.
