An emotive song gets an equally emotive video clip.. Taken from their recently released self-titled debut EP, Don't Wanna Be Your Girl is an emotionally charged new single finding Brooklyn trio Wet at their most delicate, and unsurprisingly, most beautiful. The video was directed by the female-run erotic magazine 'Beauty Today', featuring singer Kelly Zutrau, who said of the collaboration: "The music world is heavily populated with dudes, so we’re really happy to collaborate with women whenever possible and it felt particularly right to have a female directed video for this song. I went to Copper Union with Clara and Sydney ('Beauty Today') and have always had a lot of respect for their individual art practices. Clara and I had a painting show together in our junior year and Sydney took photos for us this summer. Collaborating with the team has always felt easy and generative. We are also big fans of Beauty Today so we were psyched when they wanted to work with us. Working with friends

Montgomery's first official tune gets its first official video clip.. Following the announce of Queensland-based singer Montgomery joining the I OH YOU family earlier this year, we've been eagerly anticipating her debut EP release, New Clear War, which is out tomorrow (October 24). We originally fell in love with first release War Cry, with a crush that only grew with the follow up, Pinata. Keeping in line with the melancholic electronica sounds we've heard so far, the video clip is an equally moody affair (helped by the black & white aesthetic and somewhat mundane setting). Moody, ethereal and just all-round beautiful: Follow Montgomery: FACEBOOK // WEBSITE

Massive would be putting it lightly when it comes to the 2014 WAM Festival.. This year's celebration of all things WA music - the WAM Festival - is looking ridiculously huge. Like too big to comprehend massive. So we're gonna try and break it down in as simple a fashion as possible, because we love the place we live, and especially love the ridiculous amount of musical talent this place seems to breed.

The WA indie-pop kids are back.. Following a couple of years galavanting around the globe touring their smashing self-titled debut record, playing iconic festivals such as Lollapalooza and Reading, along with headline sellout shows in LA, NY, London and Tokyo, San Cisco are finally back in the motherland. New single Run is the first taste of their upcoming second album, due for release early next year. Handclaps and throbbing bass abound, but Run already feels like the group has matured a little - not toooo much - but just enough to suggest that we may be a little surprised by their sophomore effort.

Grace continues WA's fine tradition of powerful female singer/songwriters.. Previously releasing music under her full name Grace Woodroofe and now operating under simply her first, Pluto is the first taste of what we can expect from the WA-born solo artist Grace, and it's a powerful statement. Produced by TV On The Radio's Dave Sitek, Pluto melds a sparse electronic beat that explodes into a world of pulsating synths impassioned vocal cries. "This is what it takes to get my hunger back," - if that's not a statement of intent from an artist who's always hovered on the cusp of breaking out into the Australian music scene, I don't know what is. She recently supported Alt-j on their short Aussie headline shows, and you get the feeling now is her time. Follow Grace: FACEBOOK // SOUNDCLOUD

We love Andy Rementer. You too should love Andy Rementer..

Another day, another DJ porn star tour.. The time for getting pissy about "celebrity" DJ tours has definitely passed, it's now just up to you the punter if you want to see international people from movies, TV shows, or urm... internet porn, rock out at clubs in our fair land. Earlier this year Jessie Andrews did exactly that (video interview HERE), and the whole concept becomes a lot more palatable when they've got actual skills in the booth (which she had plenty of). So following some nice LOLs yesterday with her reading SEXY TEXT MESSAGES doing promo for her latest film with Elijah Wood, today sees the announcemt of an Australia DJ tour. It would appear she doesn't have any productions (yet) I can share with you, but there is super intense EDM mix, so check the dates after that, and if Grey can look half at least half as vaguely interested while DJing as she does in her filmography, I think we're all in for a good time. TOUR DATES Dec 5 - Villa, Perth Dec 6 - Anyway @ Bottom End, Me
