Music Writing
Kathleen Hanna for Monster Children
An excerpt of my conversation with my favourite musician of all time Kathleen Hanna. With limited word space, I decided to keep the interview focused on some stories from the original Bikini Kill days.
Hatchie for Mixdown Magazine
I spoke to shoegaze-pop songstress, Hatchie and her long-time collaborator Joe Aguis about the release of the digital deluxe version of her 2022 album 'Giving the World Away', their songwriting process, their inspiration and career.
Breezer [AISIS] for Monstern Children
In April 2023 a ‘lost’ OASIS album surfaced on the internet. It wasn’t a real OASIS album but a band called, Breezer recorded an album and then put AI Liam Gallagher vocals over the top to make it sound like him. It took the internet by storm and I interviewed the minds behind the stunt.
Body Maintenance for Monster Children
Interview with Zoe Mulcahy and Nick Garth from Melbourne post-punk band Body Maintenance to coincide with the release of their debut record, Beside You.
A Music Nerds Guide to London
A documentation of my nerdy holiday to the English capital.
Wednesday for Monster Children
I caught up with the North Carolina-based band Wednesday while they were on tour in Australia to talk about their influences, thoughts on being predicted to be the best indie band of this generation, shoegaze fan drama and much more. I also photographed their show the next day at Melbourne’s Estonian House.
Warren Ellis for Monster Children
Warren Ellis spent 1985 living in Newport, the suburb I grew up in. I wanted to ask him about his time in the suburb and a few other places of significance to him, including Paris, London, Ballarat, Edinburgh and Sumatra.
Draag for Monster Children
An interview with Draag, a band from LA that refuses to conform to any genre title even if the shoegaze title is forced on them. We spoke about their new EP ‘Actually, the Quiet is Nice’. An EP influenced by 2000s nostalgia and childhood.
Nabihah Iqbal for Office Magazine
A conversation with English Musician and DJ Nabihah Iqbal while she was in Melbourne on her DREAMER tour. We got to speak about everything from recording her second album DREAMER, working in the countryside, growing up in London, her lyrical influences, cultural identity to the importance of breaking cultural stereotypes.
The Hard Quartet for Monster Children
A late night conversation with Stephen Malkmus and Emmett Kelly from Indie Rock’s newest supergroup, The Hard Quartet about the band, working together, the secret to enjoying playing live and Stephen’s strange affinity to Perth.
Twine for Monster Children
In October 2024 I saw this band from Adelaide who I hadn’t heard of prior to that night called Twine. They blew me away and I was instantly obsessed, they were unlike anything I had ever heard. Noise rock with the sensibilities of alt-country plus a violin. I was able to speak to the bands frontman, Tom Katsaras about the band and the making of their debut album, New Old Horse.
Hotline TNT for Monstern Children
Listening to Hotline TNT's reissue of their 2019 release Trilogy I noticed that some of the song titles would make the base for great questions. Which is what I did, I interviewed the bands frontman Will Anderson with questions that are all based on and include the name of the songs from Trilogy (there are a few bonus follow ups in there too).
