Editor’s Note
One of my favourite things about Beat is the fact that one week we can have two of Australia’s biggest musicians on the cover, and the next week we get to give the opportunity to a fabulous up and comer. Welcome to Beat Magazine, Claws & Organs! We chat with OG member Dave Crowe to find out some more about the band, before the hit the road next month.
While we’re introducing you to new favourites, we’d love for you to meet Melbourne folk sweethearts Wolf and Willow and Arkansas natives Listener – they’ll both be gracing our stages next month. On the complete opposite of the spectrum we also hear from absolute legends Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Iron Maiden’s Bruce Dickinson. Thundamentals also dish on their forthcoming album, and Boston Manor prepare us for their first trip Down Under.
Let’s have a beer, because it’s nearly Oktoberfest time. Not that we need an excuse.
