Editor’s Note

1600 weekly issues, what an absolute milestone. Up the front we’ve got local boys Kingswood taking part in my favourite past time – eating pasta. They’re currently on their After Hours, Close To Dawn tour, and we’ve got the inside scoop. We also chat to George Maple about her gorgeous album Lover, Montaigne talks politics and new music, Zac Abroms takes us inside Face The Music, and Laetitia Sadier introduces us to her Source Ensemble. Oh and you also get to hang Amyl and The Sniffers on your wall.

This week, the team at Beat HQ have been combing through the archives and reliving the glory of Beat Magazines past. We’d love to show you everything but we’d be here for a while, so instead we’ve handpicked a selection of some of our favourite moments. Check out our first ever cover story with Crowded House’s Neil Finn circa 1986 – before they released their self-titled album and went on to become ARIA Hall of Famers.

Thank you so much for being a part of our 1600 issues. Whether this is the first Beat you’ve ever read, or you’ve been here for three decades, it’s an absolute pleasure to share these pages with you every week. See you next Wednesday, and every Wednesday after that.
