“no one mess with this diva !!!!!!!!!! CASH rocks, straight up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3” - Anika Luna - triple j for 'CASH'

“It’s the kind of breakout song that once heard, it’ll be twisting its way through loops of your brain for the rest of your day, so simply catchy and ultimately relatable it is.”
- Demure Mag for 'Emotional Baby'

“‘Emotional Baby’ is a gem of a track and showcases Jeane as a band to watch. With an unusual structure that is both low-key and powerful, it manages to hook you in from the first listen and you will want to return again and again.” - Women In Pop

Born in Melbourne, Australia, Brodie was raised in a musical family, his father, a professional guitarist and singer taught Brodie the basic chords of guitar and piano and along with his brother Chris, they began making music together, playing as fast and loud as they could to whoever would listen, not letting their lack of experience get in the way of having a good time, and honing their skills of playing live to an audience.

In 2001, Brodie, with his band the Broken Arrows, signed to EMI Australia and Last Call Records in France and has worked with esteemed producers and engineers Oz Fritz (Tom Waits), John Wooler (Iggy Pop, John Lee Hooker) and Rick Will (Robbie Fulks, Mark Lanegan) and played with a diverse range of artists including The Strokes, Steve Earle, El Vez, Chris Bailey (Saints), Arthur Lee (Love), The White Stripes and Gillian Welsh. His musical talents have taken him to the U.S., U.K., France, Spain and New Zealand playing such iconic venues as CBGB in New York, The Continental in Austin, The Exit/In in Nashville and The Olympia in Paris.

Brodie’s talents are recognised in his native Australia with two ARIA (Australian Recording Industry Association) Awards for his second album, EMPTY ARMS, BROKEN HEARTS as well as an unfaltering reputation as an incredible live performer with acclaimed appearances at festivals such as the Big Day Out, Byron Bay Bluesfest and Splendour in the Grass.

2026 album is Suburban Dreaming.
Conceived during lockdown and completed over five years, Suburban Dreaming drifts between spoken word, poetry, memoir and song. Moving between intimate confession and surreal observation, it finds beauty, longing and turmoil in the shadows of everyday life.

Dave Graney talks with Haydn Keenan, director and producer of the 1983 Australian Film Going Down which was recently rediscovered by a NYC film distributor and has been re released in a 4k 5.1 restored print.

GOING DOWN (1982) is an entertaining odyssey through the pulsating streets of Sydney in the 1980s as four young women spend their last night together. The film stars Tracy Mann (Sleeping Beauty) Vera Plevnik (Monkey Grip), David Argue (Gallipoli) and Esben Storm (Round The Twist), and is directed by Haydn Keenan (27A).

"It’s a re-release after 40 years following the film being found in a dvd remainder bin by a distributor in New York. She licensed it and ran it in cinemas across 17 cities to fantastic audience response. That made us think should try to get the movie out here again as it’s just been restored to a beautiful punk, silk screen high colour 4K and 5.1 track

It had almost no release in Melbourne as I put it into a cinema in the city which I didn’t know had been running sex movies until the day before we opened! And we’ve got a film called GOING DOWN. The raincoat brigade wanted their money back en mass. In was a total stuff up so its almost a new release.

Great music, great cast, great inner city slice of life when there was a band in every pub and the place was exploding."

Anna Smyrk is a Melbourne based songwriter and performer who is just putting out her debut album, though she has taken a long runup to get to this point, having released several EPs over the last decade. She started out as an acoustic folkie but has gone electric , weilding her Yamaha SG.

World Forever is the twelfth solo album by Australian guitar slinger / composer Cam Butler (Silver Ray, Ron S. Peno and the Superstitions).

Butler expands on his widescreen compositional practice by adding the gargantuan roar of the Melbourne Town Hall Grand Organ to his trademark string orchestra and rock ensemble sound palette.

World Forever sees the gorgeous swoon of Butler's 28-piece string section enveloped by the deep foreboding growl of the grand organ, while his immanently tasteful band anchors proceedings with gritty rock textures and distinguished stately poise.

The result is a psychedelic journey through rich filmic moods, gothic terror scenes and vivid technicolour beauty, conjuring Butler's most stirring and cinematic work to date.
