Local blogger “nickamc” has an interesting post with some talk about our local music scene as well as an MP3 mix-tape of some of his favourite Canberra bands. An interesting read (along with some pics) & a good listen.

The Canberra Times are reporting that the UC radio station Cue FM is now doing live internet streaming. There’s no link in the CT story, so here’s the Cue FM site.

Proudly presented by Oz Prog.com the tour is to take in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Canberra, Wollongong, Byron Bay and the Gold Coast. Having last come off East Coast tours with Karnivool , Many Machines on Nine and Dead Letter Circus and releasing the acclaimed Eye Of The Storm single(MGM), late last year, Bushido have recently been busy wrapping up preproduction for their debut album, due for release later this year.
