The Like
Here We Go Magic delighted on their debut Australian tour, whilst Grizzly Bear once again wowed audiences on their second tour here in six months. Their live shows always blow me away, and this time I was utterly entranced by the absolutely perfect light show that accompanied the music…amazing.

Also here’s a polaroid I took of the band using the new PX 6OO Silver Shade film:
One of my favourite Sydney photographers, Will Reichelt, is holding his first ever exhibition opening this week at MART Gallery in Surry Hills. Head down to the gallery from Friday 23rd – Thursday 29th July for Stealing the Setlist, an FBi fundraiser, and check out some of his incredible photos from the local live music scene. The show features all-Australian bands with money raised from catalogues, postcards and prints going to FBi Radio.

Sydneysiders Guineafowl have been making a name for themselves on the local circuit for a little while now. Their brand of delightful indie is infectious, and I am currently in love with the single Botanist.
What began as a solo project for Sam Yeldham has now expanded to a six-piece live band with Sam aka Guineafowl on lead vocals and guitar, Matt Field on drums, Imi Harper on vocals and keyboards, Douglas S. Thompson on backing vocals and guitar, Lachlan McQueen on bass, and Yarren Hominh on guitar and assorted sounds.
Head over to the Civil Society site and pick up a free mp3 of their track Botanist here.
Watch the Botanist video below:
Catch the band this Friday 16 July at the last night of their July residency at Oxford Art Factory.
Guineafowl have also scored some pretty sweet supporting slots on a couple of upcoming Splendour in the Grass sideshows. They will be supporting The Magic Numbers at the Metro on July 30, and then go on to support Fanfarlo at the Gaelic Club on August 2.

The Infinite Arms Deluxe Box Set is kinda awesome. I saw it in Red Eye last week, but couldn’t afford it, so I just went with the regular 12″ instead 
But those super fans out there, check it out:
Band of Horses recently played a live set from New York’s Grand Central Terminal. You can check out their whole show on Spinner.com’s The Interface over here. Their setlist with links is below:
