Hoodoo Gurus, The Angels, Wolfmother Join State of Music Episode 4

When The Cat Empire’s first album reached no 15 on the Australian chart and the second went to number one there was no-one more surprised than them. The Cat Empire were not set up as a “op” band. They were jazz musicians playing jazz music in late night bars in Melbourne and the audience loved it.

The Cruel Sea will take their new album ‘Straight Into The Sun’ on the road in May and June.

I’m guessing Aussie blues musician Charlie Bedford may be 24 or 25 now. He was 17 when he blew the audience away at the Melbourne Guitar Show in 2018.

Tash Sultana has a new song ‘Hold On’ and a stripped back video filmed at Lonely Lands Studio.

Peter Garrett has premiered a new song. This one is a cover of World Party’s ‘God On My Side’.

Last Quokka will release ‘Take The Fight To The Bastards’ in one week on 14 March 2025 before heading out with The Peep Temple around Australia.

Boom Crash Opera are back with their first new music since ‘Dreaming Up A Fire’ and Gizmo’ in 1997.
