    Interview with Bär McKinnon (Umlaut)

    I had the opportunity to talk with musician Bär McKinnon from Melbourne band Umlaut. Bär has been playing live, recording and touring with the likes of Mr Bungle, Secret Chiefs 3, Hasco Enjoyments, Neil Hamburger and Umlaut. Umlaut has been making music since around 2005 and recently (July 2025) released their third full length album 'Desole', the first to feature Danny Heifetz on drums and the first album in which all songs have vocals. We spoke about: The meaning of the album title, writing more heartfelt lyrics, changing song arrangements to keep things fresh, the stress of composing music for a tv show, the unheralded genius of Danny Heifetz and more. Thank you to Bär for being generous with his time, Jean Lizza for helping to set this up and you for listening.

    Interview with Chris Cobilis

    I recently had the opportunity to inteview artist/musician Chris Cobilis. Chris has been making music and art for the better part of 23 years with bands such as The Tigers, Smrts, Sabre Tooth Tigers, Abe Sada, Sexy Band, Zerodent, Trash Band 1987 and more. Chris also has a very sprawling and diverse solo career, with several albums and film scores and collaborations. He has one foot in 'indie rock' and the other in 'experimental music', but his tentacles extend all over the place sonically. We spoke about all things music, friendships, keeping those friendships, what 'making it' really means, unscheduled appearances in surf videos (!) and more. http://www.chriscobilis.com/ Song snippets used in this interview:Chris Cobilis - Prelude 1Chris Cobilis (performed by Spektral Quartet and Kenneth Goldsmith) - The Sun As Narcissus Big Boy PrismChris Cobilis - Vulgar Meth AddictThe Tigers - Slayer BellsThe Tigers - Talking Cat BluesThe Tigers - The Tinsel StageChris Cobilis - Double SatanThe Tigers - Out In My BoatThe Tigers - Doug Gillard Cramer's Jungle (remix)The Tigers - DilemmaThe Tigers - Guy 90's Song (live)Chris Cobilis - Dogswamp DrumsChris Cobilis - Music Is The Healing Force Of The UniverseThe Tigers - Nicest BandSabre Tooth Tigers - Next Time Bring Yr MommaSabre Tooth Tigers - Ode To Friends ForeverChris Cobilis (performed by Spektral Quartet and Kenneth Goldsmith)- Dust In The GateChris Cobilis - Heritage Listed Darkness ParkKueiju Lin and Friends- Full Moon SpiralThe Tigers - Nobody Cares About My Music (live)

    Interview with Pex part one

    This is part one of an interview with Perth musician Predrag Delibasich. We talk at length about influences, growing up in Serbia, moving to Perth in the early 90's, various musical projects and how fanzines bring people together. Since this interview, Pex has formed Zerodent and plays electronic music under the name Alex Robokapov. If we find the second part, we will upload that too! https://predragdelibasich.bandcamp.com/music https://alexrobokapov.bandcamp.com/music https://zerodent.bandcamp.com/album/soul-mender-2
