STILL ROCKIN' IT PODCAST - Lindy Morrison - SnarskiCircusLindyBand & The Go-Betweens

Listen here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1720640

When Australian music royalty speaks, we listen. Drummer Lindy Morrison joins us for a captivating conversation that spans her remarkable five-decade journey through music, activism, and community service.

From her unexpected introduction to drumming in a Brisbane share house alongside future Oscar-winner Geoffrey Rush to her pivotal role in iconic indie band The Go-Betweens, Lindy's story is one of serendipity and dedication. "I was very lucky," she reflects on finding that first drum kit, which led to her joining the Go-Betweens in 1980 after a string of previous drummers. The band would go on to create Australian classics like "Cattle and Cane" and "Streets of Your Town," both recognized among Australia's greatest songs.

Beyond the drum kit, Lindy's contributions to music run deep. With a background in social work, she spent 25 years helping develop Support Act, Australia's music industry charity that provides crisis relief to music professionals experiencing hardship. Her community work extended to organizing music events across Australia and working with an intellectually disabled band for over two decades. These contributions earned her the Order of Australia Medal in 2013 and numerous industry accolades.

Now, at a stage when most would rest on their laurels, Lindy is embarking on perhaps her most personal musical journey yet. With the Snarky Circus Lindy Band, she's recording her own compositions for the first time. Their debut album "What's Said and What's Left Unsaid" features co-written songs with Rob Snarsky that showcase her songwriting talents with titles as intriguing as "Since I Slept With You, Everybody Wants to Sleep With Me."

Support local music and catch Lindy's new band on tour – her journey from the backbeat to the spotlight is not to be missed.

What has The Go-Betweens Lindy Morrison been up to lately? Let's find out!

STILL ROCKIN' IT PODCAST - Piet Collins - The Sharp

Listen here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1720640

Piet Collins of The Sharp takes us on a musical journey from the band's rockabilly beginnings to their current revival with a fresh lineup and new music that honors their distinctive sound.

After their 1994 ARIA Top 20 hit "Alone Like Me" cemented their place in Australian music history, The Sharp took a lengthy hiatus, with Piey venturing into television writing (penning 70 episodes of Neighbours), radio work, and ultimately music education.

The conversation reveals a fascinating full-circle moment in Australian rock history. The Sharp has welcomed Scott Owen from The Living End as their new bassist—a band that once supported The Sharp when they were teenagers. "When I asked Scott and he said yes immediately, it just really gave us the energy and the impetus to really have another go at it," Collins explains, highlighting how this connection has reinvigorated the band.

Their debut album "This Is The Sharp" has been released on vinyl for the first time, responding to years of fan requests. Piet eloquently compares the vinyl listening experience to reading a physical book—both requiring active engagement versus the passive consumption of streaming or audiobooks. "It's a much more tactile experience than jumping onto Spotify and just mindlessly surfing. It's more of a journey," he shares.

The band's new EP "4" features three fresh tracks alongside a live recording of their classic "Scratch My Back," demonstrating their collaborative songwriting process where ideas transform through four-way contribution. Fans can catch The Sharp on their Adelaide tour this September, with shows at the Edinburgh Castle, Big Easy Radio and the Wheatsheaf—each offering a unique atmosphere for experiencing their blend of classic hooks and riffs with a contemporary edge.

Want to experience The Sharp's infectious energy and hear both their classics and new material? Check out their upcoming shows and connect with them in person—as Piet says, "We're always happy to meet with friendly faces."

STILL ROCKIN' IT PODCAST - Joe Camilleri & The Black Sorrows

Listen here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1720640

Be a fly on the wall as we interview Joe for an episode of Rider TV's 'Legends" Series and watch Channel 44 in upcoming weeks to see the whole interview.

Joe Camilleri's musical journey reads like a masterclass in Australian rock history. From his humble beginnings as a two-year-old Maltese immigrant arriving in Melbourne to becoming one of Australia's most prolific and respected musicians, Joe's story is one of pure passion and relentless creativity.

"If you've got something you love doing, it's a joy and I think it keeps you healthy," Joe reflects, perhaps revealing the secret to his extraordinary longevity in an industry that often burns out its brightest stars. With over 50 albums to his name and counting, Joe shows no signs of slowing down, joking that he's "still trying to write a good one."

Growing up in a crowded Melbourne household as one of ten children, Joe's musical education came first from the radio and later from the streets after leaving school at age 12. His path through Australian music reads like a who's who of influential bands – from his early days with the Drollies and King Bees to being famously expelled from the Adderley Smith Blues Band for being "too flamboyant" and not adhering to their strict triple denim dress code. Joe's trajectory through Jo Jo Zep & The Falcons (now ARIA Hall of Fame inductees) to founding The Black Sorrows in 1983 has cemented his legendary status.

Beyond his performing prowess, Joe's production credits include work with The Sports, Ross Wilson, Paul Kelly, and Renee Geyer – helping shape the sound of Australian rock across generations. Yet despite these achievements, Joe remains remarkably humble, attributing his success to being in the right place at the right time: "I got to do all the things that I thought I'd be able to do with the talent that I had, which was almost zero."

Now collaborating with The Fabulous Capreottos while simultaneously preparing "The Quintessential Black Sorrows" greatest hits collection and tour, plus a forthcoming album titled "Old Friends and New Companions," Joe embodies his own philosophy that "it's not just about the past, it's about the future."

For fans of authentic Australian music delivered with passion and soul, Joe Camilleri remains the gold standard – the GOAT with a goatee who refuses to even consider retirement.

Catch Joe on tour soon and witness firsthand why, after five decades in music, he's still at the top of his game, creating music that matters. As he puts it simply: "I come to play."

STILL ROCKIN' IT PODCAST - Ashley Naylor

Listen here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1720640

Ashley Naylor defies expectations. With a musical résumé spanning decades and featuring collaborations with Australian music royalty, he somehow manages to be both ubiquitous and humble in equal measure. In this intimate conversation, we discover how one of rock's busiest guitarists balances his creative life.

When scrolling through Ashley's social media, the sheer volume of his musical commitments is exhausting—Hendrix tributes at Cherry Bar, Bowie celebrations at the Odeon, performances with The Church, Paul Kelly tours, and the list goes on. "I have to keep playing, otherwise you'll lose your touch," he explains with characteristic understatement, revealing the disciplined professional beneath the laid-back demeanor. Recently serving as music director for the John Lennon tribute "Give Peace a Chance," Ashley brings the same meticulous attention to coordinating others that he applies to his own musical endeavors.

The most exciting revelation comes with discussion of "Alexandria Sunset," Ashley's first solo album in over a decade, where he plays and sings every note himself. "While I've got my faculties, I'll do a record where I can play everything on it," he says, explaining his approach to capturing songs when they're fresh rather than creating separate demos.

Drawing inspiration from 60s and 70s rock, especially evident in his Donovan-influenced dreamy tracks, Ashley continues crafting music that feels simultaneously nostalgic and relevant. And in true Ashley Naylor fashion, he's simultaneously working on three separate album projects.

Discover the music, methodology, and mindset of a guitarist whose relentless creativity and humble approach to collaboration have made him one of Australia's most respected musicians.
