We chat with surf lord Kye Fitzgerald about being involved in the Spirit of Akasha.. For those that don’t know, Kye Fitzgerald hails from surfing royalty. His father Terry has been responsible for some of the most iconic boards of the 70’s and a great surfer. While his brother Joel has also made a name for himself shaping boards and slaying waves, be sure to check out his latest colab with Deus. But we are here to talk about Kye. Arguably one of, if not the most talented and stylish chaps to ever step foot on a single fin. His flair and energy for surfing is evident when you simply see footage of him or when you ask him a question about his boards and it's all done with a sincere and humble sense of himself. He is being featured in Albe Falzon and Andrew Kidman’s latest film Spirit of Akasha that celebrates Morning of the Earth and it’s lasting legacy. We caught up with Kye to talk about the film, his experience, the music and his boards. You're obviously a professional surfer who is m

It's hard to get excited about photography anymore with all the crap out there but this series made me feel something in my clay heart..

Melbourne's Outright have spent the past year obliterating stages across the country in support of debut 7" 'Dedication'. With the band playing Australia Day shows in both Melbourne and Sydney this weekend, Killyourstereo.com sits down with guitarist Brad Fulton to chat all things Outright.

Local upstarts Young Lions are currently playing select shows around the country in support of their latest release, ‘Burn’. Killyourstereo.com hosts the band’s official tour blog continuing with entry two, which documents Young Lions’ recent Melbourne shows. “‘Burn’ is an album you don’t want to ignore… Alternative rock at its finest,” – KYS review.

We chat with legendary film maker Albe Falzon about his latest film Spirit of Akasha.. It is not everyday you get to catch up with a legendary film maker. Albe Falzon is a man who falls very humbly into that catergory. He is arguably responsible for one of the greatest surf films of all time in Morning of the Earth, the film that first showed Uluwatu in all its glory in 1971 and featured M.P showing everyone who has ever stepped foot on a surfboard how to surf Kirra properly. We caught up with him recently to talk about his latest film, Spirit of Akasha.  First up, I guess it's always nice to hear it from the person who has created the film rather than Google. The name? You have always named your films with really powerful and interesting titles. Where does Spirit Of Akasha come from? I’ve made a lot of films especially after I jumped out of the surf world for a while. I went walkabout for 10 years. I travelled around the East and up through Tibet and various other parts of the world.
