Jem! If I’m going to include the entire soundtrack to my life then skipping out on the band who was probably THE most influential in my formative years would be sheer sacrilege. Yes dear dollface, Jem and The Holograms is the reason why: I love pop/rock music, wanted a keytar […]
Diesel During this past week my favourite oldies radio station here in Melbourne kept advertising the fact that they were throwing an end of year party and one of my most adored Aussie singers would be special guest. Back in October I told you all about my beloved […]
INXS For the longest time I found INXS was overshadowed by the personal life of Michael Hutchence and unfortunately it was only after his death that I really appreciated how fabulous he/they were. Growing up in Australia in the 80s/90s INXS were a staple on the radio but I […]
Eskimo Joe I hate to admit this dollface but I haven’t had ONE Aussie band or singer in the Sunday Session series and we’re now in October. Honestly, WTF?! To alleviate this I am dedicating the whole month to local bands that I love and have shaped my life […]

The B52s Can we just skim right over Love Shack and actually get to the fact that The B52s are light years cooler than that one Top 40 hit?! It was later when I’d heard their back catalogue that I realised how fabulous and weird and wacky they truly were and […]
Huey Lewis & The News When I was a kid there was a girl who lived next door that I used to play with. For the life of me I can’t remember what she looked like but I do remember that she gave me some hair clips with […]
FABULOUS! I’ve told you all about the huge influence my brothers and sister have played on my musical tastes. Growing up we’d listen to everything from Iron Maiden to Wham! and everything in between. I’d say about 90% stuck and the other 10% either came later in life […]
