The chant in #Nipaluna #Hobart today was "We won't stop, we won't go away, we won't celebrate Invasion Day"
Incredibly moving speeches, songs.

Big crowd gathering in #Nipaluna #Hobart for #InvasionDay #ChangeTheDate march.

A treat indeed Darren. The Hobart Rivulet is the bottom boundary of our garden. I've posted this before, but this was taken just 3 metres beyond the garden fence. These creatures are one of the gifts of living in an urban paradise. #wildlife #nipaluna #lutruwita #tasmania #hobart

Track: A. Swayze & the Ghosts urge you to ‘Stay Right’ in a psychedelic swirl of positivity ahead of live dates. Andrew Swayze has been very busy over the past year releasing solo music and producing other bands (see my Lennon Wells review). As a final blast to the year, the full A. Swayze & the Ghosts juggernaut has got together to release a swirling new single 'Stay Right' that positively vibrates with energy and atmosphere. It's a follow up to the tremendous album 'Let's Live A Life Better Than This' released last year (see my review here) and their trajectory keeps going upwards. For the first time the band has completely mixed and produced the track themselves and the entire band, including new members, have contributed to the writing.

Album Review: All India Radio etch beautiful contrails of sound across the skies in new album ‘The Unified Field’. After a long absence, the ethereal All India Radio triumphantly return with the exquisite 'The Unified Field' - astonishingly their 21st album. Their absence has much to do with member Marin Kennedy's prolific creativity – witness in just the past couple of years the release of three albums with The Church’s Steve Kilbey (‘Jupiter 13’, ‘The Strange Life of Persephone Nimbus’ and ‘Premonition K’) as well collaborations with Gareth Koch (‘Music In The Afterlife’) and his heavy metal project Observers. Read my 2023 interview with him here. In 'The Unified Field', All India Radio return with a luscious sonic sweep that takes inspiration from the world of auteur David Lynch.

Live Review + Gallery: Sharon Van Etten & the Attachment Theory, with Cash Savage in support, light up the Odeon Theatre, Hobart, 13 November 2025 A little slow on the uptake, the single 'Seventeen' was an entry drug for me, and then seeing Sharon Van Etten live at the Dark Mofo Festival a few years back sealed it for me. A magnificent mesmerising performance in the hallowed halls of The Odeon Theatre in Hobart in the middle of winter, and one of the stand out performances of that year. And the only thing that has surpassed that performance was tonight, back in The Odeon Theatre again, during an alleged Tasmanian springtime. Now performing as Sharon Van Etten & the Attachment Theory, this was the opening of Van Etten and her band's Australian and New Zealand tour and an outing for the band's self-titled album: a magnificent debut reviewed by me…

Caught the last 5 overs of the #INDvAUS #T20I in #Hobart #Nipaluna and was amused to hear the Indian T20 captain Surya Kumar Yadav end his interview with Gilly with a jaunty, "Cheers mate!" We talk about the Indianisation of #cricket but the Australian influence on Indian cricket is also ENORMOUS.

Album Review: Sliver Fleet Ships set sail into the darkness with their atmospheric debut album ‘Before Never, After Forever’. Nipaluna/Hobart band Silver Fleet Ships are signed to the tremendous Meanjin/Brisbane label False Peaks Records, and this is a sure guarantee of the quality you can except in their debut album 'Before Never, After Forever'. It's an album which bleeds atmosphere from every pore: statuesque and gilded with an Antarctic chill exacerbated by the sharp expressive guitar riffs that thread their way through every track. Opening track 'Before Never' is a smooth and floating entry that is delivered over a rambling piano: there is something of the classic 'Nilsson Sings Newman' album in the balladry and gentleness.

Track: All India Radio entice us into ‘The Red Room’ – a spectacular universe of mystery and enigma – as pre-sales for the new album become available.  All India Radio have already signalled their much welcomed return to the airwaves with the single 'Catch The Breeze' released earlier this year (see my review here) and have just released another single 'The Red Room' ahead of the the new album 'The Unified Field'. As usual, the sound and visuals of All India Radio are a luscious and complex - Martin Kennedy's meticulous devotion to the entire production of his releases results in something quite celestial. 'The Red Room' is spacious and airy like the soundtrack to a Sergio Leone movie, but set in deep space amongst the glittering stars.

Track: Lutruwita/Tasmanian band Silver Fleet Ships ‘Do Nothin” in their own elegant, haunting way, ahead of debut album release. Third single from the Nipaluna/Hobart band Silver Fleet Ships, signed to the tremendous Meanjin/Brisbane label False Peaks Records, and things are just getting exponentially better. 'Do Nothin'' continues the post punk sparseness filled with atmosphere and a stately grace that typify this band. The track draws in elements of the deep southern Antarctic chill, coupled with melodies and delivery that are like a comforting burning fire in the hearth. A motorik beat introduces the track creating a driving thrum throughout, while the vocals are cold and distant, but slowly and surely the other instruments seep up through the floorboards with a throbbing bass and soothing synth bedrock with a hint of rippling guitars.
