It's THE SAINTS... a match made in mayhem. Strike up the ZED50.

Interview with Ed Kuepper promoting The Saints '73-'78 headline performance at ZED50, celebrating 50 years of 4ZZZ, on 25 October, 2025.

10/08/2025

This latest album by THE ARMED certainly feels like it is summing up a zeitgeist possibility... as it swarms with the disease of an american government topped by a dead spike of narcissistic idiocy hellbent on self-destruction for the obesity of their unfathomable greed. And they seemingly welcome the destroyer with the hands of sycophancy. Sound away!

11 track album

REGURGITATOR just love to play! And play they will.

JUKEBOXXIN’ in the 21st century!

It’s a retrospective of singles time!
A fistful of fizzers poppin’ packets over a hard driving 32 years plus. REGURGITATOR have spun the dial and played it each and every way. Sui generis jukebottin’ amid droids of repetition, jabbin' society in the eye with a groove full of politics.

55 tablatures of candy fix… punch a coin in the slot. Press play, hit repeat. After last year's INVADER of the new comes a deep droid into those much loved plateaus of the nostalgia machine. Blister packin’ energy tracked in cycles of repetition - single after single after single adds up to some decent multitudes. Siftin' through their deca-drome of albums and slew of EPs. Robotic arms clawing in muscle memory. Wry rotations juking that stimuli… from Like it Like That’s and Kong Foo Sing’s... to Black Bugs, Polyester Girl’s through the Songs Formerly Known As, to the Pest’s and Co***ne Runaways… the shuffling bots - Quan, Ben, Pete, and latest keytaring effervescence Sarah - with their selector effects will cram as many hits as they canned into near on two hours of aural sugar that drips and drops.

“A perpetual possibility, in a world of speculation.” (T.S. Eliot)

Memory is the boat that sails against the current of time… come cruise with us through all nether regions.
Let's eat the horizon of meaning, that incessant feast of music providing sign posts to tether our everyday orbit to. Thrills our soul and drives our emotion. Active hope is a narrative to action.

Joining the pumped up playlist for majority of the shows is the most remote hiphop group in the world Pitjantjatjara DEM MOB

Smack, bang up for it. Let’s arcade the fun!

REGURGITATOR
30 plus years. 10 albums and rising. One just being together.
Pop goes the culture! Like a stun to the head it leaves one careering across the highway of a neverending invasion of cultural detritus... strewn across the landscape of your mind with blips and beeps and repetitive phases.

Forming late ‘93 in Brisbane, core members Quan Yeomans and Ben Ely set off on a malformed trajectory of numerous EPs and albums recorded in idiosyncratic scenarios: TU-PLANG (1996) in the jungle outskirts of Bangkok; the pixel obsessed 80s jolt of UNIT (1997) in a condemned Fortitude Valley warehouse; …ART (1999) in a sun soaked Byron Bay beachside house; EDUARDO & RODRIGUEZ WAGE WAR ON T-WRECKS (2001) amidst the red bricks and cigar smoke of Andy Gill’s (Gang of Four) London house studio; MISHMASH (2004) in Melbourne's Federation Square glass panopticon studio for the disruptive Band in a Bubble reality pastiche; LOVE & PARANOIA (2007) in a bullet riddled studio in Rio de Janeiro under the looming arms of Corcovado with a gang of dueling Brazilian sound engineers; SUPERHAPPYFUNTIMESFRIENDS (2011) in Ben's old Melbourne Northcote shopfront; DIRTY POP FANTASY (2013) in the upper levels of a Hong Kong skyscraper apartment; the digital meta-virus that is HEADROXX (2018) fabricated over the internet; the recent cultural coloniser that is INVADER (2024). The past has trekked them live across Australia, NZ, Japan, UK, Europe, USA, Asia, Middle East, as much as an incessant barrage of festivals (Big Day Out, Good Things, Meredith, Golden Plains, Mona Foma, Spring Loaded, Clokenflap, Reading, Fuji Rock, Groovin’ the Moo, The Falls etc); tours with Boredoms, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Helmet, The Melvins, Weezer and KISS. Always drawn to the odd they collaborated: contemporary dance/live music project ‘Rock Show’; puppetry on Raised by Wolves at the Melbourne Fringe; a self-written live soundtrack to Japanese film AKIRA at the Sydney Opera House; performed the debut Velvet Underground album inconjunction with Chinese collaborator Mindy Meng Wang on guzheng; and the riotous kid fun of the POGOGO SHOW! Latest expedition to the peak mountain of sounds - 2024 heard the invasive notions of INVADER… now joined by Sarah Lim on keytar/guitar.

More steps than one can wonder up a craggy trail of precarious independence lingering on the kindling embers of a bloated spectacle - capitalism sucks the culture out of life. All in the face of an industry fabricated in a vortex of froth and culture packed and canned for your homogenous convenience. REGURGITATOR available here: https://www.valverecords.com.au/shop/

DEM MOB are the most remote hip hop group in the world—born deep in the red dirt of the APY Lands of South Australia—and the first to rap in Pitjantjatjara. More than a music act, DEM MOB are a movement: fusing hip hop with cultural identity, education reform, and political resistance. Their work challenges the systems that marginalise First Nations youth and reimagines education as a tool of empowerment, not assimilation. Their activism has directly influenced education policy, reshaped pathways for young people in remote Australia, and sparked a international conversation about what real equity looks like, with speaking at conferences on using hip hop as an education vehicle in 3 different continents.

50 years in your ears... it's the bloody radiothon!!!
If the so called Brisbane music industry conference Big Sound can ignorantly snub the 50th anniversary of Brisbane's volunteer run community radio in their program this year then we stand where it matters as a community. Grassroots is where culture truly grows... not in the lap of culture stifling commerce.
Back the cause. ITS ON!

Since its beginnings at the University of Queensland, 4ZZZ has been a thriving hub of activists, artists, musicians, and journalists; everything from weird and wonderful creatives to frontline advocators of political and social change.

We’ve built a fiercely independent community of thousands of volunteers, artists and listeners who keep the spirit of community radio alive.

But we couldn’t do it without our subscribers.

To help sweeten the deal, anyone who subscribes during Radiothon can go into the draw to win some fantastic prizes. This year friends like Tangalooma Island Resort, Netherworld, SOBAH and more have donated some awesome prizes that you can win.

THE FAUVES play Melbourne one more time for 2025 on grand final eve eve. Try tell someone who gives a ruck...

"Forget about 2025 being a sh*tty news year. Here’s something to bring a big fat smile to your dial!

Melbourne rock titans Dallas Crane and The Fauves have decided it’s bloody well time to team up and bring the brow-beaten masses a monster double-header at the Corner Hotel to bring in the Grand Final Weekend public holiday in bombastic riff-tastic glory!

Having spent recent times touring with the likes of KISS and Def Leppard, Dallas Crane emerge from the studio working on album number six, for absolutely one show only for 2025!

In the heat of the market The Fauves rally to the shareholder fury of Tropical Strength, witnessed them performing this more recent album of cultural addictions. Hot on the heels of this live product demonstration, in an act of genuine dirt bike amateurism they drive it through the big sticks of Melbourne one more time.

Make this one an absolute MUST people."

"A Call from the Workers of Gaza to Labor Unions Around the World:

A Cry in the Face of Starvation and Genocide

To all free workers everywhere,
To our comrades in trade unions and labor federations around the world,

We bring to you the statement of the workers of Gaza, issued by the Palestine General Federation of Trade Unions, addressed to the workers and unions of the world—this final appeal they have named “A Cry Before Death.” It reaches us from the midst of hunger and siege, from beneath the rubble of factories and homes, and from the heart of a continuing war of extermination that has gone on for nearly 22 months alongside a systematic policy of mass starvation executed by “Israel” with direct support from the United States and its European partners."

There is no getting away with the ideological shutdown of critical accountability, or undermining the right to protest and freedom of speech. All it does is shine a light on the corrupt abuse of power.

There is no justification for the inhumanity and outright immorality this current Israeli government is committing - this has crossed the line and anyone can see what is going on - disproportionate revenge that is now genocidal in orientation.

The final destination weekend of Tropical Strength demonstrations - Perth and Adelaide. Speaking of wild jetsetters - see this interview with Dave Graney and Clare Moore chatting with Coxy and Doctor on all things rogue and Fauve. And the critic have voiced their criticism... "uncomprising"... "laugh a minute... I counted them"... "so inside, it is intestinal in impact"... "like syrup to ears". You need to hear this revealing deep dive into the tropical rigours of climbing ladders to stardom.
