What it was like to manage TISM in the 1980s
By Gavan Purdy; as told to August Billy
Former TISM manager Gavan Purdy takes us on a trip down memory lane, telling of how he first came across the band in 1984 and the relationship that eventuated from there.
Australia’s premier iconoclasts TISM are in the midst of a comprehensive reissue campaign, unearthing much-loved bootleg recordings and rarities via the DRW Entertainment label.
The latest instalment includes a vinyl pressing of the band’s very first demo tape, ‘This Is Serious Mum’, which was recorded to cassette in 1984. There’s also ‘Punt Road’, a 1987 rehearsal recording captured ahead of the single release of ’40 Years – Then Death’.

Music luminaries and budding talents: We explore the 2021 Wanstock festival lineup Boom Crash Opera
Words by August Billy
From The Black Sorrows to Boom Crash Opera and beyond, we unpack this year’s Wanstock bill.
The Shoppingtown Hotel has become an unlikely leader in the pub rock revival in recent years. Located in Doncaster, the hotel’s Cabaret Room not only hosts regular tributes to the likes of Fleetwood Mac and ABBA, but has fast become a favoured tour-stop for many Australian guitar bands of yesteryear.
In the last few years, The Shoppingtown has welcomed everyone from The Angels, Dragon and Rose Tattoo to You Am I and Jebediah. Given the venue’s budding reputation as a bulwark of Oz rock worship, the calibre of acts at the 2021 Wanstock festival makes perfect sense.

No interstate travel? No worries. The 2021 Leaps and Bounds Music Festival program proves that Melbourne has more than enough talent and diversity to pack a ten-day festival full of live music, talks, markets and special events. After running the 2020 instalment virtually, this year’s LBMF will be a celebration of what makes the City of Yarra such a special live music ecosystem.
There are mini-festivals such as the soul, funk and hip hop extravaganza Fitzroyalty and label showcases from Bad Apples, The Push and Rockhopper Records. There are also intimate shows at The Tramway and The B.East, Sunday sessions at The Tote, late night parties at The Night Cat and even a First Nations trivia night.
