Harley Streten (aka Flume) sat down for a chat with us at this years Parklife in Melbourne.

This country is home to loads of Empire-loving fogies. Out of date and out of touch with the reality of contemporary Australia.

CANT SAY residents Indian Summer DJs have just announced a run of Australian dates for their brand spanking new EP, 'Haunted'!

"I think that’s the point that I was trying to make: rather than be labelled a political songwriter I should be labelled an ‘angry songwriter’."

“In a way, I think it’s more of a statement - of the kind of music we want to make, of who we are as artists. We’re really stoked with it.”

“It’s kind of like childbirth,” an expecting Lisa Mitchell tells Dave Drayton about album number two, Bless This Mess.

“We were invited to play at The World Beard and Mustache Championships... On that weekend, in that city, in Anchorage of Alaska, the best beards in the world were there. It was as if for one weekend we were living in the utopian society that we hope to one day create. Where bearded men can walk down the street and get the respect that they deserve. It was just great.”

"People often feel confronted when they come to shows... and they see the other songs in our repertoire, sort of how… not different, but how they can vary quite substantially to the stuff that’s released."

"Obviously I’ll continue recording other groups, but I’ll be creating music as well. But we’re not announcing a break-up or anything like that – I really do think there’ll be future Belles Will Ring releases."

“It’s a bit strange that a bunch of metal heads have ended up in a group like this... but that’s the way it’s happened.”

"Maybe we haven’t played enough yet. I’ve still copped the odd drumstick to the back. Jamie breaks them or something. He doesn’t really listen to me, we’ve discovered."
