The MATTadors Top 11 for 2011.......

2011..... well its come and its so nearly gone, but what it has left us with is one of the most exciting years in music I can remember.  Month after month new artists and the evolution of those artists we have already grown to love have graced us all with an barrage of new and truly exceptional music.  I though I would reflect on some of the highlights of my musical year with a snapshot and a link to each of my top eleven songs of 2011 -

"Lay it Down" by the Rubens.  If you have yet to feel the warm serenade of these guys then you have truly missed out a magical part of what Australia has produced this year.  They will explode in 2012 and I cant wait to be there and take some of the shrapnel straight in the ear!

"Brother" by Matt Corby.  Fresh off the JJJ playlist Matt is quickly becoming one of the biggest finds of 2011 - Runner up in a TV singing quest (cant even bring myself to write it's name) Matt disappeared for a couple of years before returning with what is one of the most amazing and unique voices I've heard.   No doubt soon to be eaten alive by commercial radio jump on board quick to the Corby train because it is going places in 2012! -

"All I Want is you" by Ball Park Music.  A Brissy band that has somewhat softened the blow of loosing my beloved Powderfinger this year.  A 6 piece that took out JJJ's Unearthed band of the year award recently had put together an eclectic blend of all there years spent creating music on their first album release "Happiness and Surrounding Suburbs".  What more can I say other than have a listen - Truly fantastic pop! -  

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_lFxlBhz4I

"Feeding Line" by Boy & Bear.  Well, what more can be said really about this fantastic Australian Folk rock band.  I predicted earlier in the year you should all get on board this journey because they were going places but I had no idea they would climb to the top of the ARIA tree in 2011.  Much love to this band, cant wait to see what's next............

"City Girl" by The Jezabels.  Possibly one of the most polished live acts i've seen EVA!  They totally owned the Tivoli in September and the power they produced live is indescribable!  To pick a song from this wonderful debut album is very difficult, but City Girl gets the nod (this time anyway).  Once again massive congrats to yet another Aussie band leading the charge to take over the world! 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jVAKAUm2uk

"Truth" by Alexander Ebert.  Starting and finishing with a whistle, this song sinks its hooks in with a beat that challenges you not to tap your foot.  Alexander Ebert (front man for Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zero's)  has made every post a winner with his first solo release, released early in 2011 to took its place in my top eleven early and was never removed. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9yibUR5KNI

"Little Hell" by City and Colour.  My favourate song off the album of the same name.  Exquisite guitar, incredible vocals and a lyrical masterpiece.  What more can I add, other than to point out how rare it is for me to add an album into my all time top 10, Welcome to the top 10 Little Hell!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cxdzJ7gXBM

"Royal Blue" by Cold War Kids.  A very early contender for my favourate song of the year that was only surpassed late in the year.  From an amazing album "Mine is Yours", The 'kids' really evolved this year to the dismay of some fans but to the delight of others, clearly i'm a member of the evolution fan club! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYil-EHLpLo

"No Light, No Light" by Florence + the Machine.   Florence and her very wonderful machine have delivered a Christmas present that although somewhat expected is still breathtakingly brilliant.  There is the top level of live performers, then there is Florence .....  chills, that is all! 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGH-4jQZRcc

"Calgary" by Bon Iver.  The heavily anticipated second release from this amazing musician lived up to all expectations.  Many great songs off the self titled album made it very hard to choose one however the first release was the tune that I always returned too, enjoy this mans voice it is truly original! 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KrmxavLIRM

"Video Games" by Lana Del Ray-  Credit to Mrs MATTador for this entry, hauntingly brilliant!  This song mesmerises me, almost like the finish always come way too soon.  Luckily we can simply hit repeat and start all over again.

Thank you to all those who have taken the time to read my blogs this year, it has been my absolute pleasure to share some of my passion for new music with you all. Here's hoping you all have a very merry holiday season and I look forward to bringing the first edition of the 'MATTador 2012' early in the new year!  PS. don't forget to vote in JJJ's hottest 100 and be apart of the worlds largest music poll! Signing off for 2011, Peace out, The Music MATTador............... 

The Music MATTador, returns..... Moods Photography

Hi everyone, I had a very excited email from our friend the MATTador a couple of days ago, letting me know about a new favourite band he wanted to share with you.........


The Music MATTador............

Well Heellloooooo!!! I hope all of you are well and the beginnings of the summer season are shining brightly on you all!!!  My apologies for the lack of new music in the past weeks,  an onslaught of amazing new releases in the first 2/3rd's of 2011 meant a slight burnout and need for some rest on the writing front.  I have managed to climb out of the shallow writers block hole and decided that rather than deliver something each week I will wait to be inspired before I deliver.

Inspiration has returned in a big ball of awesomeness called "The Rubens"!  This fantastically original group of three Brothers and a childhood friend formed only 9 months ago and have already began to create waves the size of a tsunami on the Australian music scene.  Hailing from the tiny town of Menangle NSW and to this stage only releasing five songs it feels to me like being at a magic show, you know something amazing is about to happen but your unsure of what. 

Over the last month or so I have been listening to a gutsy and raw bluesy group from the states - "The Black Keys".  One of those amazing bands that you can tend to forget about for a while and when you here them again you think to yourself man these guys are the bomb!  In saying all that I have swapped their CD in the last week for a continuous rotation of the first 3 songs from The Rubens!  

These guys bring almost a new genre of music to the table combining a backbone of blues (Tremolo) guitar with a soulful and pop style of lyric.  The recording studio is a family bedroom in a bush house which seems to add to the rawness, add to the mix plenty of reverb and some organ sounds and you have my new favourate band.  

The four piece are brining their show to Brisbane for the first time in December and I for one will defiantly be in attendance.  Their debut album will be recorded in New York by a "Big Name" producer in the music industry and will be released in 2012, not bad for a few blokes from country town in NSW.

Ladies and Gentlemen I give to you THE RUBENS........................ Please enjoy!

PS: a few weeks ago Loretta & I met Mr & Mrs MATTador at the "Junk Bar" (if you haven't yet discovered it, check it out) for a drink & some eats, where to why total surprise I was presented with some tickets to The Jezabels show which was on that night at the Tivoli... 


Was an awesome early birthday present, The MATTador & I had a fabulous boys night out....  if you haven't discovered the Jezabels yet, check our blog under the MUSIC tab for The MATTadors report on the Jezabels..... totally amazing live act.....

Music Report from our friend: The Music MATTAdor.... Moods Photography

I look forward so much to these music reports, I, along with quite a few of our music loving regular readers have been introduced to some amazing artists....  This weeks featured artists are certainly among them..... please enjoy, & please let us know your thoughts.... Cheers Greg



THE MUSIC MATTADOR......

Yet another week of this amazing year passes with the release of a magnificent debut album from an Australian band.  A perfectly timed release to celebrate the dawn of spring this album comes packed full of youthful energy that I promise will invigorate and blast away the remains of a chilly winter. 

The Jezabels formed after meeting at the University of Sydney, quite specifically anchored in the roots of Indy, their sub character is hard to define with aspects of pop, rock and absolute originality enabling them to swim around in the pool of just dam awesome and who cares what pigeon hole they fit in! 

3 EP's down and ever evolving, the band has developed into what could become one of the worlds most exciting commodities.  Despite a stampede of major labels chasing their signature the decision to release their debut album 'Prisioner' as an independent group could see them match it with the most successful Australian independent artist of all time 'John Butler'.

Prisoner is an exhausting combination of emotions and power vocals that seem to swirl together into a cyclone of musical brilliance.  The melodies swell and lead themselves into sky high climaxes while the obvious layers of sound mean the album slowly reveals it 'self like a blooming flower bud.  This album is so full of sound that the instrumental interlude acts as a peaceful armchair to sit back and relax on before finishing the journey.

For me there are obvious influences of the grungy edge seen in musicians like Kate Bush and Cindy Lauper however in saying that, there is something completely unique about the Jezabels.  From all accounts their live performance rivals all that are performing in the festival arena today, completely dominating main stages and winning the hearts of all new onlookers.  This combined  with the looks of a cover model it is hard to imagine just where the Jezabels will finish, only one thing is certain - I will be there following them all the way.

The link is to their website where you can listen and watch many examples of what lies pressed on the vinyl of 'Prisioner'.  If you start with the first song (Endless Summer) on the media player (at the bottom of the page) i'm almost certain you will not be able to stop with one.

Please feel free to leave some feedback, I would love to know what you all think!!

Please Enjoy.........http://www.thejezabels.com/media/

He's Back: The Music MATTador..... & we're glad !!

Welcome back MATTador I certainly have missed not receiving your musical insights the past two weeks.....

THe Music MATTador:   

Sorry for the absence - life gets in the way of everything sometimes - hopefully this weeks artist makes up for it.

It's always very exciting to witness the very beginnings of something that in the back of your mind you believe could be a real success.  There's something about the anticipation of what's to come and the knowledge that you were a part of the initial fan base.  Imagine how the people in the crowd of 'The Beatles' or Nirvana's first gig's would feel today being able to tell there grandkids 'how amazing' they were (even though they were probably pretty bad).  Now i'm not predicting that these kids will reach any where near the heights of these bands that are now legendary but I am telling you they are very impressive, and the fact that they are all still in high school and producing such well rounded indy pop in such a heavily soaked market.... well lets just say they stand out in a crowd. 

 This week I am very excited to reveal an artist that has won it's place on JJJ radio by winning the 'Unearthed High' competition, a comp that invites all high school bands and musicians to enter for one major prize, radio air play and recording of their debut release.

From Rudolf Stiener School Melbourne - Snakadaktal (Snack-a-dak-tl) formed in 2010 as a group of friends with similar interests in discovering and experimenting with sound.  What developed was a tight dream pop sound with extremely solid and perfectly matched vocals.  For a band at such an early stage of their existence they offer a wonderful refreshing style of indy pop, at times they have you fixated on lyrical delivery while almost simultaneously leaving you with a feeling of freedom and weightlessness.

Richard Kingsmil (JJJ musical director) has nailed this one!

Chosen from a group of very talented finalists I must admit I didn't even pick them as the winners, however I am very pleased they did.  The JJJ recording of their first single 'AIR' is below and sure you will all agree these kids are very very impressive.

Deth Enemy by Greg Dries, Moods Photography

Deth Enemy, no doubt you've guessed given the name of this band they don't play folk music... We got to hang out with Al, Frankie & Rhys on Sunday afternoon to shoot some new promo shots for some things they have coming up.... It's always great to spend time with people that are so passionate about what they do.... these guys definitely fit that bill.....

Hope you love the shots, please leave a comment cheers Greg

The Music MATTador, weekly report, Moods Photography, Greg Dries

I need to tell you that the MATTador's reports are one of my weekly highlights.......  Please enjoy I am about to take the MATTador's advice, Don my headphones & escape for a little while... for those in Brisbane have a great Ekka Peoples Day, Holiday.........

Cheers Greg

From the Music MATTador................

Well it just keeps coming...  2011 has already produced some amazing music and this weeks artist is no exception, Exceptional, yes!   

To be classed as unique in this day and age in an increasingly difficult label to be awarded.  In fact so many talented artists are immediately compared to past greats of the music industry that it erks me a little that they are not simply allowed to be themselves. 

Jamie Woon (South Londoner) is a fantastic exception, very rarely would we ever hear the words 'gee, you sound like............'.  Woon's music would have to fall somewhere in the vicinity of R&B however that tag sits very uncomfortably with me as it is a genre that I have no real connection with.  His vocals are simply astonishing, matched with a beautiful sense of timing and an underlying groove that seems to have an almost trance like rhythm. 

As you can see by the link, the musicians of yesteryear would be dumb founded by his live setup, every 21st century gadget and programming tool combined with samples and traditional instruments such as guitars and drums combine like a chemical reaction to produce "Jamie Woon".

Once again I found it very difficult to pick a song this week as every you tube video I looked at seemed worthy, difference this week was my recent purchase of quality headphones.  Now I'm not saying that you wont like this song without them however it was almost like a completely different song once I put them on.  To say that I was transfixed for 6 minutes would be  an understatement, arguably one of the most enjoyable musical experiences so far this year. 

If you have access to headphones I urge you to put them on, dim the lights or turn them off, pour the beverage of your choice and prepare to enter a trance for the next 6 minutes.

Please enjoy..........................

Mattador: Weekly Report

I must confess as I post this I haven't actually listened to these guys yet.... I will have by the end of the day though.... Hope you enjoy Cheers Greg

The Music MATTAdor

They often say that what you are looking for is directly under your nose, that you can sometimes search too hard to find what you are looking for when in fact it is in your backyard the whole time.

Following last week's blog for me is very hard, I am so in love with City and Colour that it has made the search this week's artist one of the more difficult of the MATTador's adventure so far. The good news is I've found something that is hard not to enjoy, any person that even distinctly enjoys turning on the stereo and listening to a good tune will rate these guys.

As eluded to above the search went long and far before returning to my back door where I found a Rockhampton band Knocking. Busby Marou ( Thomas Busby & Jeremy Marou) pronounced Buzz-Bee a-Room, are long time friends that combine in a seamless way to produce beautiful melodic harmonies with exquisite guitar riffs and solo's. Marou has Torris Straight Island heritage that filters its way into their music, often fighting siblings to play the instruments in the house as a child guided his musical beginnings . Matou's background combined with Busby's beautiful lyrics and naturally raw vocals is a match made in musical heaven.

I love finding local (especially Queensland) based musicians that can cut it on a grand scale, I challenge any critic anywhere to knock these guys. If I had to describe them in a sentence I would say this - A band that would be as comfortable on the big stage in front of thousands of fans as they would be in the backyard singing for their families. It the initial stages of there career as a band Busby Marou are sure to evolve over the coming years into a household name across accross Australia, so jump on board and enjoy the ride.

This song is one of my fav's off their debut EP 'The Blue Road', 'Underlying Message'.......................... Please Enjoy.

Wow.... I am loving this weeks featured artist.... thankyou MATTador...

Kim Churchill

I remember growing up not knowing exactly what I would become but wanted to make a difference doing it. I remember being 20 with fond memories albeit many of them hazy. Memories infused with feelings of fearlessness and intrigue, the whole world to explore and a whole life to do it. I was busy studying and getting my life sorted out, trying to figure out exactly what sort of impact I would make and how I could make it happen. Basically, like most of us there was no obvious plan, no one single 'talentl' that I possessed that I knew would define my life.

Imagine just for a second the opposite - At age 4 you are handed your first guitar, as a child you train classically for ten years and by age 16 you have already begun to master your art. Stir into the melting pot the difference between you and many other 16 year old musicians', the ability to write inventive and original peices of music, this my friends is the nucleus to something amazing. After school you pack up your gear and head around our vast country to play every available gig and busk on any corner that will see the passing of a pedestrian. Surfboard is packed for the ever elusive perfect wave, blond hair, blue eyes and all packaged into part time model good looks. Sounds pretty surreal yeah? Please say hello to Mr Kim Churchill -

Kim was born in Canberra, moved to NSW North Coast at a young age where surfing and music became his life. His exquisite ability to control the six strings of his guitar is beautifully unique, his classically refined art seems to entwine perfectly with his slightly experimental take on folk rock. He possesses an energy that I compare cautiously with Xavier Rudd, an energy that seems to fuel his desire to travel and play to the people consistanly with a full bag of emotion and passion each and every time..

Kim possesses a maturity much beyond his tender age, he delivers lyrics that guide the listener gently into thoughts of their past whilst cleverly prompting thoughts of the now. Kim is a storey teller, and like the best of those that have gone before him, there is more than one string to his bow. The infusion of harmonica, kick drum and piano combine in a way that seems effortless, overall a pure joy to listen too.....................

Please enjoy............................................................. The Music MATTador

The Music MATTador... Enjoy

The MATTador was at a course this week & had limited internet access... thankyou to those of you that look forward to these posts & let us know, like you I get excited about what Matt is going to share... hope you enjoy this week, very interesting choice.... look forward to hearing your thoughts.... Cheers Greg

Well here's a 50 / 50 for you all. I love it!!! you may hate it, have a listen make up your own mind. The best thing about music is that is yours, yours to judge, yours to completely do with what you want, nobody can tell you that your views and opinions are wrong, because their yours. My goal here as the MATTador is not to tell you what music is good, but rather offer something new, wave the red flag as such, to offer something different than your everyday run of the mill pop artists.

Thats where James Blake comes in, a perfect example of an artist you will never hear on commercial radio, however, one that is so wonderfully talented. His music is a masterpiece of simplicity matched perfectly with a sublime intensity, Jeff Buckley like, in the way a voice can dominate a performance.

James Blake is a British electronic composer from London, his self-titled debut album was released in the UK on 7 February 2011 and is one of the most unique sounds I have heard.

According to many who have had the opportunity to experience James live it is a struggle to describe the unique qualities they experience, quite honestly I struggle to compair James to many other artists.

The recording speaks for it'self please enjoy..................... The Music MATTador

It's Tuesday: The Music MATTador.......

I'm off work for a week and I know you are feeling me when I say that this is one of the best feelings in the world....... arhhhhh!

I thought that this week I would share with you all a song from an artist that sums up that feeling, the same feeling that you get when you catch your first vision of the coastline as you hit your holiday destination.

Matt McHugh is the front man for an Ozzie band from New South Wales called The Beautiful girls, they have been knocking around the coastal music scene since the early 2000's mixing wonderfully poetic lyrics with sweet, free feeling acoustic rhythms. After their first album "Learn Yourself" their vision changed slightly taking them closer to a heavier reggae, bluesy edge however it's this first album that blew my mind.

Lyrically this is one of my favourite albums - it paints pictures of beautiful surrounds, peaceful and happy people and overall, just a reminder to appreciate all the simple things in life and be grateful for them. It reminds you that life is short and although work can encapsulate so much of or time and energy it really is the basics that makes the world spin.

This whole album feels like a grandfather talking to his grandson, passing on his values his stories and his lessons. It's an amazing thought provoking 45 minutes that gives you the feeling that Matt has been here and done it all before.

The album has the unique ability to do one of two things - sweep past you like a summer breeze allowing you to simply relax, or if you’re like me and listen closely to the lyrics, it will completely amaze and inspire you.

The song "Cash Money" is just one of about 8 songs on this album that truly help's put life in prospective, I chose this song simply because the film clip helps to complete the feeling of arhhhh!

Please enjoy...................... The Music MATTador http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUG3uCqss34

The Music MATTador's next instalment for us... enjoy !!!

Hi Everyone apologies for being a day late with this, crazy day yesterday & somehow I didn't receive Matt's initial email.....

I'm off to itunes now to download some new music..... thanks again Matt, amazing, hope you all enjoy.... Cheers Greg

I love to see passion in a musician, true energy driven by a force that can be seen simply by watching a performance even without sound. There are many artists that I love for this reason, One in particular exudes this every time I see him perform, Ben Harper. Have you seen. him..... Someone that wears their heart on their sleeve in everything they do, someone that leaves nothing behind?

Ben Harper continues to amaze his fans who are as diverse as you will meet, put simply he covers most all age groups and musical genres and continues to expand his following with age old word of mouth. If you have never seen his DVD "Pleasure and Pain" do yourself a favour and take the time to walk in his shoes for 2 hours. There are so many fantastic examples of Bens' passion (seen beautifully on the DVD when he plays with his good friends and blues legends - The Blind Boys of Alabama) however it's his new project that has re-sparked my love of Ben Harper.

Fistful of Mercy is Ben Harper, Joseph Arthur and Dhani Harrison (son of George). Forming in February 2010, after Arthur had asked Harper to jam at Carrage House Studios; Harper then asked Harrison, (whom he had met at a skate park in Santa Monica), to accompany them and the rest as they say is music history. The album was remarkably written and recorded in 3 days, even more remarkable is the quality of the song writing that evolved in those 3 days!

Harrison says the lyrics tell the journey of Fistful of Mercy. "I see the record as more people getting to know each other and testing each other's boundaries," he says.

"The first song we wrote together was 'I Don't Want to Waste Your Time,' because we all are a little nervous about wasting each other's time," Arthur says. "The album's kind of like a conversation -- a three-way conversation -- and sort of a document of friends becoming brothers."

Harrison has since been heard to relate the experience to his fathers brief stint with "The Travelling Wilburys". They have also been described by some as the "Crosby, Stills & Nash" of 2010. Jim Keltner (percussion) and Jessy Greene (violin) also participated in the recording.

The track is called "Fathers Son" and has a fantastic raw blues energy that pours out of all three artists, it will have you tapping your foot and nodding your head, go ahead and jump around, feel free to get a little loose! Please enjoy..................... The Music MATTador http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpunkt6E5kI

The Music MATTador... Week Two... Enjoy

Wow... I was wondering how Matt would top last week.... here it is, hope you enjoy this as much as I did

Cheers Greg & huge thanks Matt.....

Blog Week 2

I am so pumped this week! The artist that I have for you pretty much sums up all my favourite things about music. I love acoustic driven songs, I love the raw squeak of the strings as the chords change, I love the how subtle it can be one second and yet powerful and bold the next. Combine the acoustics with beautiful song writing and a husky melodic voice and you've just ticked all the boxes. Man... this guy even has good looks to boot, I think I’m feeling some bromance here people.

Have you........ Ever been so excited by a moment because you know it will change your life for the better? We all have these moments on big occasions like children being born and our wedding days, but sometimes it can be something that to others may seem insignificant. I listen to allot of new music and 98% will pass me by without a second thought, but when I heard this artist for the first time, I got that feeling. Not because his music is as important as a major, life changing event but because it's something that makes me happy, and to me smiling and being happy is worth feeling passionate about.

'BOBBY LONG' (Robert Thomas Long) is a Wigan born, English, singer songwriter with an honest, raw approach to story telling through his music. He writes songs from the heart with meaningful lyrics, his folky style is tinged with elements of blues and even country. He is also a very talented musician, his guiiar playing skills shine through in his work leaving behind the simple 3 chord pop songs to deliver a masterful example of acoustic brilliance.

Bobby moved to London to attend university in the 90's where he graduated and gained his degree after writing his senior thesis on the social impact of American folk music. He began performing full time and writing new music throughout 2009 compiling an astonishing 80 songs. Bobby released his debut EP (that he recorded in his bedroom) independently before signing with the major label ATO records (home to other favourites of mine such as David Gray, Radiohead and Ben Kweller) only last year.

The link is to Bobbys' website on which you can listen to his entire debut album "A Winters Tale", although the whole thing is well worth your time I would suggest "Who've you been loving", "A Strangers Song" and "2 Years Old" (almost impossible to choose). If your a fan of Dylan's early years, Johnny Cash or Mumford and sons than I reckon this may tickle a fancy or 2. If you get the chance, sit back, relax and enjoy the simplicity and sweetness of this wonderful musician.................

NB: Bobby is touring in April initially with Rodrigo y Gabriela. He then takes on Byrons' Blues fest and then a couple of side shows in Sydney and Melbourne, if you get the chance to check him out don’t miss it.
