Win a soul-stirring Willow Beats experience in Perth.. There's a tonne of events happening this December in Perth. If you're feeling overwhelmed by how all the parties and gigs are ramping up, and feeling indecisive as to what exactly is worth your social time and money then hey, we'll make it easy for you. Go to Willow Beats next week at the Astor Theatre next Thursday. Essential. Why? Because seeing an act play a proper headline gig at a proper venue, where they'll play a full set with heaps of added extras, and you have room to dance and meditate on sound, is about 100x better than seeing them play a rushed 'best of' at a crowded music festival with rubbish sound. Also, as far as venues go, a historic art-deco theatre built in the 1920s, is pretty shit-hot place to experience a gig. And lastly (most importantly) Willow Beats are positively peaking right now, entering into the tail-end of a huge year of live shows - all of which you could say have been leading up to this Water EP tou

Naik is launching his single, Visit From Hell, at The Bakery and you should be there.. Naik man has been ticking away for a few years now and is known for his eclectic music style which brings together warped guitar lines, psychedelica and snarling hip hop. Furthermore, Naik is also releasing the first single, Visit From Hell, off his second album, and to celebrate he's having a single launch at The Bakery this Friday 15 November in Perth. Furthermore, Naik is bringing along his mates Mathas (who we recently got to interview Allday), Lower Spectrum and Henry Kissinger, along with good friend of the Pile and the legend responsible for the mind-altering visuals at CIRCO Festival - COMBS. Check out this preview of what you can expect this Saturday, because it looks f'in incredible:

Grace is heading out on tour to showcase her latest single, Pluto and you should be there.. Despite Perth being the most isolated city in the world, the place pumps out artists that challenge the rest of Australia's talent. Just look at Grace, who recently supported Alt-J when they toured 'Australia' (read Sydney & Melbourne) and has released a pulsating, sparse electronic single titled, Pluto (which you can listen to HERE). To celebrate she is heading out on her first national tour, showcasing not only Pluto but other tracks that were produced by the likes of David Sitek from TV On The Radio and Sam Spiegel of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. So check out her latest track and the dates below while we all wait in anticipation for her debut EP slated for early next year. And if you're keen to hear more of Grace's voice she also has a live version of a song called, Eliteless, which really shows off her delicate voice: PLUTO TOUR DATES - On sale November 5 Saturday 29 November - Mojos, Perth Thursda

The Central Coast lads who used to sell their music out of milk boxes have finally released their first music video.. For awhile Winterbourne curated a questionable adolescent look with slouched beanies, rolled up pant legs and bangs. But hey, we all had our regrettable life choices, I used to wear crocs and socks in public. Winterbourne have gone from painfully cringe-worthy to a bunch of guys making heartfelt, guitar-based power ballads. Indeed, Cold is no different with jingling guitars and a punchy chorus that blows up by end of the track. They've also recently released a video for Cold and it really shows much they have changed. They're no longer pretending but seem comfortable being who they are. Later this year they'll be heading on tour in support of Little May (who recently gave us an insight in to their debut EP HERE) with all their dates listed below and in the mean time you can watch a live performance of them in Adelaide, just scroll forwards to 3:20:00.

With a shadowy single out, Lurch & Chief have announced a tour and it's the perfect time to see their best work yet.. For every single that Lurch & Chief have released over the past year, they've had an accompanying tour and with the announcement of their latest effort, Keep It Together there's another tour to boot. The tour will see them traipsing around the East coast of Australia, celebrating a single that perhaps their most promising work to date. Initially the track meanders a little, but as the Foals-esque vocals of Hayden Somerville flow aggressively into the all-powerful bassline at the halfway mark the track really makes it mark. And this is when the vocal interplay of Lilibeth Hall's voice shines through. It's new sonic territory for Lurch & Chief and we're excited.  KEEEP IT TOGETHER TOUR DATES  FRIDAY 21 NOVEMBER - Black Bear Lodge, Brisbane 18+ SATURDAY 22 NOVEMBER - Goodgod Small Club, Sydney 18+ SATURDAY 29 NOVEMBER - Northcote Social Club, Melbourne 18+ Follow Lur

The rising R & B beauty is set to get 2On in Australia next year. After debuting an incredible cover story with American musician Tinashe last month, ACCLAIM Magazine are bringing breakthrough singer down under for the very first time for a string of dates in February. She’s been working the independent scene for years, making dark and intriguing experimental mixtapes (2013’s Black Water is WELL worth your while), and with her recently released debut studio release Aquarius, which features Devonté Hynes and A$AP Rocky, she’s brought that R & B progressiveness into the mainstream spotlight (along with acts like Jhene Aiko, Banks and Kelela). Tinashe worked with a wide range of collaborators on the accomplished release, including T-Minus, Boi-1da, Clams Casino, Fisticuffs, Best Kept Secret, Ritz Reynolds, Dev Hynes, Detail, and Mike WiLL Made It, maintaining an admirable cohesiveness across Aquarius despite all this varied input. Her profile has been getting a big leg-up of late courtesy

Ahead of their appearance at CoLAB Festival, we take five with David Leaupepe from Gang Of Youths.. Gang Of Youths don't really do interviews anymore but Pilerats were lucky enough to grab a few moments with the lead singer of the band David Leaupepe to take a look inside the group. They're an interesting anomaly in the music industry having been a band for two years but with only three songs officially released. They've also notched up a record label deal with Sony Music in Australia, but as Leaupepe explains putting out their music is something of a rarity now. The interview also looks at why Gang Of Youths consider gigs so important and how Leaupepe originally wrote the songs for his wife to know that someone cared for her.

Our brothers in Flowermouth are the latest band to take part in Vic Parks own Vision Recording & Rehearsals studio sessions..

Their final show sold out, and was by all accounts a good'un.. Header Photo: Willow Beats @ Mondo, Perth by Aaron Webber Starting a night of quality Melbourne-based electronica acts, hypnotic trio Yujen graced the stage full of down-tempo melodies and even a sample from Nick Murphy (Chet Faker), the ambient openers ripping through a set that included the impressive single Try It Over. Vocalist Sam Tilley revealing “we showed [Chet Faker] the song and he was searching for someone to sing on it, before just deciding on doing it himself”. With stellar support from brothers Will and Mitch Anderson this is a group to keep an eye on. Alta brought many things to their set; and while an inflatable goon bag was not one of them, somehow a shiny silver bag was still escorted through the crowd as the duo started what was to be a vibrant set. Shifting from mellow vibes to a more charged atmosphere was made possible by frontwoman Hannah Lesser’s ability to showcase a feisty persona and engage the c
