What the nation's indie bands have been up to this week

Not always an indie, but Regurgitator gave us a bit on an insight into their dealings with labels (particularly the transition from indie to major) in an interview this week.

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard revealed the details of their new album, with some of the best artwork we've seen this year.

Regular John dropped a new video, and a new tour for their upcoming album.

Adelaide's Gorgeous Festival added a number of indie acts, with Gossling and The Preatures being the highest profile names to join Missy Higgins and Gurrumul.

We thought there were a few dates on the tour that The Winter People announced, but then The Beards announced a bloody huge tour to mark the end of the world.

Former Snowman member Joe McKee opened up about the break-up of his cult-loved former band.

And recently The Rubens inked a new management deal for Australia and New Zealand, making them part of the same roster that includes Cloud Control and Belles Will Ring.
