The 31st annual ARIA Awards are just around the corner and in the November issue of The Music – on the streets in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane today – we’re taking a deep dive into the past, present and future of the Aussie music industry's most important gongs.
We catch up with three breakout artists tipped for greatness this year, Mojo Juju, Odette and Ruel, to talk about making it big in 2018.
In our annual form guide, we sift through this year’s nominees to make our pick of the acts we reckon are set to win, plus the artists who (in our humble opinion) ought to be getting their hands on a pointy sliver of silver.
We also look back at the history of the ARIAs to see how the Awards have reflected the shifting social conscience of our girt-by-sea land, and take a pictorial time-hop through ARIAs past, recalling the most iconic moments in the Awards’ illustrious history, caught on camera.
And that’s not all. Also in this month’s issue:
- Errol Parker and Clancy Overell of The Betoota Advocate reveal how a small Queensland satirical newspaper became a global comedy phenomenon.
- On the eve of its 20th-anniversary, we explore an oral history of Aussie indie label Elefant Traks.
- Star of Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, Rami Malek, tells us how he stepped into the shoes of late, great Freddie Mercury.
