Editor’s Note
Daylight savings is behind us and you know what that means: now the fun begins.
I don’t know about the rest of y’all, but this month has left us feeling like we’ve been bucked off the Moon Dog bull, like we’re dragging ourselves out of the Corner mosh pit: rattled, haggard and smiling all the way. Chaos is in the air. The city’s in full bloom. It’s a mad-dash sprint until the end of the year and we’ll make it to Christmas if it kills us.
Any true party person knows it’s all about stamina, so here’s what’s happening in November. ALWAYS LIVE is hitting Victoria with a birdshot of blockbuster events, bringing featured artists including St. Vincent, Andy Shauf, Chet Faker and our cover king Baker Boy.
We also talk to Nigerian legend Seun Kuti ahead of his Strawberry Fields appearance and Perth reggae-rockers Coterie before they take on Queenscliff. Annie Hamilton unpacks the mysterious phenomenon of lightning, Big Special praise working-class music and TISM leave our heads spinning with their confusing and combative interview.
All this seeming like a little much? Have some water. Sneak outside for a cig and some fresh air. Sit on the curb reading Beat Magazine. Then head back in (your friends have a fresh round waiting) and rinse and repeat until the sun engulfs the earth.
