Markus Meier – My Patch Of Dirt Country
Raised in the Australian Outback in the Kimberley region of WA, Markus began his musical journey at the age of five teaching himself chords on the guitar from an old book given to him by his prospector father. By the age of 12 with his brother Paul they had formed a band called ‘The Territory Boys’, supporting some big name acts in their hometown Darwin including ‘Lee Kernaghan’ and ‘The Black Sorrows’ .
Markus later embarked on a solo career and in 2006 he caught the attention of one of Australia’s most successful producers, Garth Porter (Lee Kernaghan, James Blundell, etc).The 2 of them collaborated on his debut album ‘Raindance’, released in 2007, which achieved 4 chart singles including ‘In My Boots’ which reached #1 in Qld, #3 on the CMR National Chart & #6 on the European Chart.
Markus’ highly anticipated 2nd album ‘A Different Land’, again co-written and produced by Garth Porter, brings a dynamic new energy to Australian Music achieving so far two #1 singles on the CMR National Chart. ‘A Different Land’ also reached #1 on the Australian Country Albums ARIA Chart.

Busby Marou – Something for Me Folk, Indigenous
Promising new talent, Busby Marou, recorded at the 2010 National Country Music Muster in Gympie by Brisbane Country Music station, 98.9fm.
The band primarily consists of Thomas Busby and Torres Strait Islander Jeremy Marou.
Jeremy, a proud Torres Strait Islander, has rare musical talent. He is fluent on just about every instrument, including ukulele, bass, drums and piano – But it is his natural ability on the guitar that will make you stop and listen. His obvious exposure to the traditional Murray Island song and dance as a child shines though the melodies and combined with Thomas’ distinctly Australian way of sharing his stories, the pair have developed a unique and Australian song writing flavour.
From humble beginnings by the banks of the Fitzroy River in Rockhampton, Busby Marou are quickly making an impact on the Australian Music Scene.

Only The Sea Slugs – Big Sky Pop, Rock
Sydney rockers Only The Sea Slugs are proud to unveil their new single ‘Big Sky’, the first track to be lifted from their forthcoming mini album ‘Street Music’, due out later this year.
A rollicking, haphazardly timed narrative germinating from a simple guitar line, ‘Big Sky’ speaks of the bizarre loneliness of living in a big city. As singer / guitarist Sasha puts it, it’s “basically a tune about chasing your tail in a large city, and letting go of useless s**t.”
‘Big Sky’ and the upcoming ‘Street Music’ marks the first official release from Only The Sea Slugs since their debut EP
‘Dreamstate’ was released in 2009. Heralded for their brooding, enchanting sound and their absorbing live presence, ‘Dreamstate’ followed a highly-prized collection of demos and singles that saw the band garner themselves a “Band to Watch” status in and around Sydney and indeed, nationally. Their 2007 recording ‘You’re The Reason Drugs Are Useless’, plus their 2008 track ‘We, The Odd One’ picked up strong play everywhere Triple J and FBi through to College Radio in the US, France, Italy and the UK.
But now, the attention turns to brand new single ‘Big Sky’ and the forthcoming ‘Street Music’.

Timothy Nelson & the Infidels – You Don’t Know What You’re Waiting For Folk, Pop
Perth based 5 piece Timothy Nelson & The Infidels have just announced the release of their new single ‘You Don’t Know What You’re Waiting For’, the 2nd track to be pulled from their forthcoming debut album “I Know This Now” (out April 2011).
Only 20 years old, Nelson has taken home the coveted WAMi ‘Song Of The Year’ Award twice (2007 and 2009) and he and his Infidels have been busy. Interspersed with their own headline shows, the last eighteen months has seen the band support the likes of Birds Of Tokyo, Katie Noonan & The Captains, Whitley, Lior and Clare Bowditch, to name but a few.
With engineer James Newhouse, Nelson and his Infidels have just completed work on their debut album “I Know This Now”. Final mastering is currently being completed at Abbey Road Studios in London with the album slated for an early 2011 release.

Stiff Gins – Yandoo Folk, Indigenous
Their trademark harmonies still shine, but they’re met with sophistication in their songwriting that can only be found after a decade of making music together.
They have travelled the world, received prestigious awards, and created a loyal fan base with their heartfelt songs and emotive performances.
They’ve performed in the Middle East and remote communities across Australia, and developed a musical friendship that has transformed them both. Now, with their new album Wind & Water, they have perfected a sound that honours the raw power of their voices and their history while leading them firmly into the future of Australian music.

PJ Wolf – Father’s Son Pop
PJ Wolf finds bios either make him sound cooler than he is, or alternatively; in trying to achieve exactly that end, far less cool than he’d like people to imagine him. That being said…
Drawing on an eclectic range of musical influences from Erik Satie to Bob Dylan, PJ Wolf explores the beautiful, the terrible and the profound through his unique alt-pop sound.
In 2008 PJ was a winner of the triple J unearthed Top Song competition. His winning track was described on the Unearthed website as:
“… indie pop… while still being serious. And Seriously Good. The quirky instrumentation and lush harmonies make PJ’s winning track “Skin And Bone” a standout winner”
This win came after a number of his demo’s were picked up and played on the station. Just prior to receiving the Triple J honour, PJ was awarded a grant from the Foundation for Young Australians to produce his current EP Arcadia Street, a collection of pop songs about death.
A gifted singer, producer and songwriter, PJ is a singular voice in the Australian music scene. He can be heard bringing life to laments and lullabies at venues across the country.
About this track…
It’s new-old school!
No official clip for PJ Wolf’s ‘Father’s Son’ was available at time of post publication. Instead see below for a video of Pj Wolf performing ‘Seeing In The Dark’ live at Cleveland Street Theatre, Surry Hills, Sydney.

Hudson – Against The Grain Folk, Pop
Having only been penning tunes since mid-2010, Hudson has achieved a considerable amount in his fledgling music career, and things don’t look to be slowing down either. With his debut EP, Open Up Slowly in hand (digitally released Jan 2011), he is set for an Australian national launch tour in April & May of this year.
Part folk, part pop, his music sits nicely somewhere in between, and he cites Badly Drawn Boy, Bon Iver and Iron & Wine as some of his main influences.
Post launch, he’s taking his show to the streets with his ‘Back to Basics Busking Tour’, leaving Melbourne on June 1st and hitting the pavement in most major cities in New Zealand, United States, Canada, UK, Denmark, France, Germany & Spain. “I’m damn exited to get busking with my songs, to experience the thrill and randomness of performing at the most grass roots level and to share my tunes with an ever changing audience”, he says with a smile

Oh Mercy – Stay, Please Stay March 31, 2011Pop, Rock
Inspired by the sort of classic Australian albums which shape our history, Great Barrier Grief marks a whole new horizon for Oh Mercy, and the song writing journey of Alexander Gow. Paul Kelly, arguably Australia’s most respected songwriter, agrees, recently naming Oh Mercy in The Age EG as a new band who inspires him to write.
Two tracks from the record, ‘Keith St’ and ‘Stay, Please Stay’, will already be familiar to radio listeners. Live favourites on the road, the songs have been given a brand new life as captured by Oh Mercy and producer Mitchell Froom on the new longplayer.
With its title more than just a play on words, the second album from acclaimed Melbourne band Oh Mercy promises to be one of 2011’s most exciting releases. Eleven tracks of evocative acoustic pop, Great Barrier Grief was inspired by the Australian ‘sound’, and our way of life: the classic songs and songwriters who’ve soundtracked our lives. Timeless in feel, Great Barrier Grief is a confident, purposeful album.

Coptic Soldier – I Hate Sleep ft. Charlie Mayfair Folk, Hip Hop
Coptic Soldier has gone from strength to strength over the past year, his debut EP ‘The Sound of Wings’ (a cross-genre collaborative effort with Sydney soul singer Miriam Waks) proved a huge hit on independent radio stations across the country, spending months in AMRAP’s Top 5 “Most Ordered To Air” charts.
As well as joining Phatchance on two national headline tours and supporting many of the “whose who” of Australian Hip-Hop (Bliss N Eso, Drapht, The Herd, Pez, etc), Coptic has earned a reputation for bridging the genre gap through his close collaborations with multi-instrumentalist and producer Jon Reichardt.
‘The Sound of Wings 2 (Acoustic)’ is a beautifully textured release offering glimmers of roots and folk influences. Enormously varied instrumentation including everything from saxophone to hammond organ weaves a backdrop for Coptic’s pointed social commentaries (‘Liquid Company’) and honest and self revealing lyricism (‘I Hate Sleep’, ‘Fight For The Fame’).The first single from the release ‘I Hate Sleep’ features Brisbane indie-folk sweet hearts Charlie Mayfair, the group lend their evocative harmonies to the summery, dub style beat. A deep grooving bassline and syncopated guitar rhythm set the foundations for an endearingly clever and self critical offering.
