Queensland summer...

If you love Queensland, or have lived in Queensland or visited Queensland

or ever dreamed about coming to Queensland - then this song is for you :)

In spite of Queensland's tragic flooding events and being on a current 'cyclone watch' for not just one but two! I wanted to find some fun in all of this heavy weight pressing down on us.  Evil Eddie throws an interesting spin on the Queensland summer!

Angus & Julia Stone - Big Jet Plane - Rolling Session #12

Triple J Hottest 100 - #1 Angus & Julia Stone

What a great way to spend an afternoon on Australia Day, drinking wine, snacking on cheese and biccies while listening to Triple J Hottest 100.  Angus & Julia Stone was voted #1 - not surprising since they seriously rock! Have a listen to this LIVE version. 





There were so many great songs in this year's hottest 100 but the next three I particularly like/love -  and hey, they're all OZ bands, so how cool is that?  Click on the pix below to view video.

Drapht - Rapunzel #12

Boy and Bear - Fall at your feet #5

Down by the River - Bliss n Eso #41

Midnight rambler - so many more songs to share but not enough time or space...

The Lamplights: from heartfelt folk to driving acoustic funk and blues...

If you are a Triple J listener then you might have heard of The Lamplights - and if you're not a listener you still might like to check them out here at unearthed. 

Unearthed is triple j’s award-winning initiative for discovering and sharing the best new Australian music. This local Gold Coast band is so good I just had to post a review.

"The Lamplights is such a beautiful name.  It conjures up gorgeous images of time past, of dark and foggy cobble-stoned streets in London, warmed by the delectable glow of lamplights. [read more...]

 Grab a beverage of your choice, put your feet up and have a listen to the wonderful Ryan Gittoes on voals, Jason McGregor and Ashley Perrow, both on guitar in this clip from the ABC.  You not only get two songs, but an added bonus for your time - an interview!

Remember to check out their gig guide and support local music in a town near you and if you live interstate you can download some of their mp3's for free here or purchase their wonderful debut album here 

Enjoy :)
