Dave Graney talks with Cam Butler
23/04/2026 | 18 mins.
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.

Dave Graney interview with Keyo Rose
20/04/2026 | 26 mins.
Keyo Rose came in to chat on my RRR Radio show which is called BLB. He had a gig coming up and I ran into him at Kim Salmons Surreal Science show at the Corner and I asked him to com in the following Tuesday. I get pages of PR every week from all over the scene. I mostly only play music from the present year and also mostly Australian music. I like to play vintage people as well as debut artists. I rarely interview debut artists though as they usually don’t have a story to tell yet. They need to try and fail and embarrass themselves a lot and then they can talk! Keyo is a natural though. Full of flash and fire.
