Absence makes the heart grow fonder they say and in the instance of Idaho trio Built to Spill and their seven year sabbatical from visiting Australia that couldn’t be more true with the announcement today of the 4th and final Melbourne show for the inaugural ‘86: Friday 27th October at Northcote Social Club.

“Not many bands sound as good live as they do on their album. However, Built to Spill is that rare jewel that sounds amazing in album and in concert.” – Amazon

Hobart too has caught the buzz with the announcement of BTS’s first visit to the Isle: Sunday  23 October @ The Altar. “That sounds great!” Doug Martsch.

Tickets for both shows are on-sale now.

INTRODUCING ISSAC ET NORA

Posted on: by

And now for something completely different… introducing French act Isaac Et Nora (Isaac and Nora) multi-instrumentalist / multi-talented (barely) teenage siblings and their father who have become a viral sensation since the innocent upload of a family video back in 2019. The song, a cover of 1935 Latin folk song Veinte anos (a favourite of their mothers) and sung in Spanish, hit a nerve generating several million views and resulting in a full album of similar material and in 2022 their first ever (sold-out) tour of first Spain then South America. The later having been documented on film with release via streaming services coming in early 2024.
“Nora carried the audience from before the minute that she walked on stage, in her very pretty velvet knee-length dress and her hair in a ponytail looking very much a 10-year-old. She had the audience eating out of her hand before she opened her voice.”
