'The Bottom Of It' with Joshua Moriarty Joshua Moriarty

Conrad Keely has been a hero of mine for a long time. Since being shocked and beguiled by the lyrics to the title track from …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead’s 4th studio album, ‘Worlds Apart’ I’ve been a fan ever since. Their 5th record, ‘So Divided’ is one of my favourites of all time and their 3rd record, ‘Source Tags & Codes’ received a 10 out of 10 review from Pitchfork (Pitchfork can get f#@ked but that’s still pretty bad ass). The band has currently just completed the recording of their 11th studio album and are getting ready to release and get back out and tour around the globe again.
Hear Conrad and I discuss hitting a guy in the head with a guitar, practical rider requests, hungover twitter posts, inventing a game called Frisball and a bunch more.

Paul Kelly is one of the great voices of Australia. Not in a way where he preaches or speaks for others, it is in the way that he tells stories of its inhabitants, never hiding the scary or the ugly yet always with a tenderness and a beauty and honesty that is so hard to encapsulate as a songwriter. His song ‘How To Make Gravy’ has become a Christmas staple and Paul has extended that by releasing his new album ‘Paul Kelly’s Christmas Train’ featuring guest such as Marlon Williams, Vika & Linda, Lior, Kasey Chambers and a bunch of other friends and collaborators. We had a chat over zoom to talk about the new record, what he got up to during lockdown, the difficulty of breaking old patterns as a songwriter and plenty more.

Davey Lane is a red hot gun slinger. He joined You Am I as a youngster back in 1999 and since then has gone on to play with Crowded House, Todd Rundgren, Jimmy Barnes and a bunch of other big names in the biz, he’s the sort of musician you could comfortably get to join any band and know he will instantly make it better. He has also been making solo records since 2014, he’s a prolific artists who never stops creating, music is deep in his DNA. Hear us talk about our mutual love for The Beatles, Supergrass and Alan Partridge (who we think might actually be the real Steve Coogan), working with Producer Tony Buchen (who produced Davey’s first solo record and my latest record), how to write a spoof Chili Peppers song and plenty more.

Luke Steele knows how to create magic. From his accomplished work in the early 2000’s with The Sleepy Jackson to the grandiosity of Empire Of The Sun and the bold musical exploration and experimentation of his project Dreams with Daniel Johns from Silverchair, Luke has written some absolute first class tunes that contain that inexplicable quality which transcends language and trend and resonates with people of all ages. His new project H3000 is a collaboration with producer Jarrad Rogers and is a meritorious continuation of Luke’s musical journey. We talk about Luke’s new bushman beard and his bear-proofing skills, waiting for the right musical calling, ignoring the fear of people’s opinions, meeting Rocky and a bunch more.

Argentinian artist Daniela Spalla has all the hallmarks of a star. Charisma, style, wit, talent, the look, she is the complete package. Based in Mexico City she has been rising to fame steadily over the last 5 years.
Her latest record ‘Puro Teatro’ (Mere Theatre) is an 80’s inspired affair with sophisticated musicality and top notch songwriting all topped off with her gentle elegant vocals.  Daniela and I discuss Mexican pop sensation Luis Miguel, writing the lyrics for the same song 3 times, how she discovered her own ‘tiny voice’ and how we would both be happy to never hear Dance Monkey ever again.

Gretta Ray is a natural when it comes to songwriting. She was already kicking arse as a teenager when she won the Vanda & Young songwriting competition for her song Drive back in 2016. Since then she has released some impressive singles and an excellent EP and her debut album ‘Begin To Look Around’ will be out in August of this year, nice one Gretta! We discuss how we met 10 years ago when Gretta was a kid singing in the Young Voices Of Melbourne children’s choir (who featured on a Miami Horror song), we talk about John Mayer not wanting to play Your Body Is A Wonderland (just play it John ya dick!), our resistance to Tik Tok, how difficult it is to write a great pop song and a bunch more.
