We sat down for a chat with the one and only Lochlan Watt for a great chat about all sorts of things from what gets him excited to what makes him tick!
If you live in another country or under a rock, he's had a long and storied history in Australian heavy music. Lochlan's part of various bands both in a permanent and guest capacity, as well as hosting JJJ's The Racket for 12 years, and now working as a promoter with Destroy All Lines.
Bitten by the music media bug, Lochlan also runs his own podcast Music is My Life on his channel youtube.com/@lochlan_watt

Tim and Chris from Malignant Aura took a brief pause from touring their second album to stop in and have a chat with us covering all things from the new album itself, to how they're pushing the juxtaposed mix of death and doom to uncomfortable places, and even rural Italian farmland.Have a listen to their music at their bandcamp:malignant-aura.bandcamp.comAnd make sure you check out their socials:instagram.com/malignant_aurafacebook.com/MalignantAuralinktr.ee/MalignantAura

We sat down with Mammon's Throne to mostly chat about their new album My Body to the Worms, but as always we got distracted and ended up talking about everything from HSPs to South African steak restaurants.You can pre-order My Body to the Worms at their bandcamp:mammonsthrone.bandcamp.comAnd don't forget to check out their socials:instagram.com/mammonsthronefacebook.com/mammonsthrone

We were very lucky to follow around Shane & Leanne all day to talk about both the venues they run; the Last Chance Rock n Roll Bar & the Tote!
They're fantastic publicans and even better people giving everything they can to help keep Melbourne's live music scene alive.

Make sure you get out to gigs at these venues that are cornerstones for Australian music.
