On Their Way To Making Millions

Four-piece Brisbane band, Millions, has learned only recently that they will be opening this years Splendour in the Grass.

Only a relatively new band, Millions is making their mark on the world. 

Already having played with bands such as The Grates and The Belligerents, they will share the stage with Kanye West, Coldplay, Jebediah and Jane’s Addiction – just to name a few.

Don, Campbell, Steve and James find themselves writing furiously as they prepare a forty-five minute concert for Splendour. This is because they don’t have enough songs! It just proves how new they are. However, that doesn’t matter, as it’s obvious they're liked.

Below is an interview with Campbell, the bassist, with Kristina. He talks about his dog, hair styles and how Millions became so lucky.

The Art vs. Science Experiment

Just over a week ago Art vs Science released their video clip for Higher, and already it has received a lot of positive reviews.

Their dance genre continues to wow audiences with newly performed songs fitting perfectly into their debut album, The Experiment. 

As Jim said in the interview (see below), their music differs from other groups in the dance field as they write their own sounds with their own instruments as opposed to digitally creating them or using samples. This just makes their work even more spectacular.

Sadly they are not attending this year’s Splendour in the Grass (they have been for the past three years). Fortunately for Art vs. Science fans, they are going on tour this July! For Queenslanders, they will be at the Tivoli in Brisbane on July 9 so get your tickets soon!

However, if you listen to the interview with Jim and Kristina, Jim admits that the band may be going to Splendour, just hanging out in the background. So if you’re lucky, you just might see them!

Children Collide Definitely Aren't Loveless

From the heart of Melbourne, Ryan Caesar, Heath Crawley and John Mackay created a band called Children Collide.

The band released their debut album, The Long Now, back in 2008, earning their song, Farewell Rocketship, a spot in Triple J’s Hottest 100 for the year. Many years have passed and the band still makes appearances on the national Australian radio.

Now in 2011, the band has released their most recent single, Loveless, to the airwaves. The oddly created music video shows a clown-faced person getting their shoulder-length hair shaven off. As the song continues his face paint removes. In a somewhat symbolic five minute and six second video, Children Collide shows the audience the change in their music.

After two festival shows in Queensland (River Sessions in Mackay on July 2 and Splendour in the Grass in Woodford on July 30) the band will continue through the rest of Australia for their Loveless tour.

See below for the interview with Kristina and Ryan (the drummer) of the band

Get Yourself To The Urban Country!


It’s the Labour long weekend and there’s nothing to do. Any form of entertainment decides to holiday when you’re on holiday. But no fear! This Labour long weekend, like many passed, is the Urban Country Music Festival. And the style has changed.
