Chris Familton, Journalist

Chris Familton

I'm a music journalist, publicist and musician. I’ve been writing professionally about music for the last 15 years, with my music blogs Doubtful Sounds and Post To Wire (alt-country/folk) and as a freelancer with The Music (Drum Media) since 2009, Rhythms magazine, FasterLouder and more.

I've been playing bass guitar in bands since the early ‘90s in New Zealand (Thorazine Shuffle) and Australia (The Finalists, Charlie Horse). I currently also work as a music publicist, with artists including Bluebottle Kiss, Halfway, Restless Leg, Alannah Russack.

'Where's The Fucking Bird In This One?'
"People who know me say, 'Where's the fucking bird in this one?' I like to think of it in the context that Cezanne painted a lot of oranges and Monet painted a lot of ponds."

It Can Be A Lotta Fun Getting Down With The Blues
