Groupie Collective

Recorded near the end of 2020, Groupie Collective had the pleasure to interview Melbourne DJ/Producer GREETINGS. Coming off the “Vertigo Months” EP released on UK label Lobster Theremin, the upcoming producer is flying the flag for sun tinged Italo house in Australia. In this episode GREETINGS talks about his sound, his songwriting process, the inspiration behind his music and his unexpected connections to Asia.

On this instalment of the Groupie Collective Podcast we interview RED REY of Worship Queer Cabaret, Ante Collective and Irregular Fit. We were so grateful to get to chat to Red about their influences and the intentional thought and energy put into the work they are doing in the local music community. They’re a fierce force to be reckoned with and one to watch.

Groupie Collective sits down with 2 Brownish Girls - our fav Pasifika-Australian podcasters. We talk about how growing up in a Western Sydney Pasifika household influenced their music tastes; starting with The Eagles, shouting out the Hakken appreciation society and showing nuance with Lil Golo.

Introducing our new mini-series 'Side Stories' where we chat about Australian music phenomena. 

We kick things off by investigating why Pink is so popular in Australia? We were always puzzled about why Pink has such a rabid fanbase specifically here in Australia, so join us as we take a deep dive, welcome to 'Side Stories'.

Join us for Groupie Therapy as Sean and Vanessa discuss the heyday of Australian Electronica. From the bleepy bloops of the local dance scene to the indie kids topping the charts. Sit back relax and take a stroll through memory lane.

Well what a weird couple of weeks its been since our last episode...

Coming straight out of self-iso Groupie Therapy brings to you our first interview with Melbourne hip hop quartet, Flimsey Lohan.

We’ve talked about their impressive debut album 'Goosetape' but this is time they’re back to debut their brand spankin’ new release ‘Jimi in the Mazda’ - available on all streaming platforms as of today.

Oli, Lindsey and Sean had a chat with us on Zoom and talked about what they've been up to during quarantine, their writing process, the artwork for the new single created by drummer Rhys and their 'go to' Boost Juice order 🥤

We would like to thank the guys again for taking time out to have a chat with us!

Please show some love and follow Flimsey Lohan on Instagram (@flimseylohan).

Let Groupie Therapy take you on the musical roller coaster of love with our V-Day Special. If you had a crappy Valentine’s Day, consider a date with this episode to make up for it. We share our favourite love songs by Nai Palm, Isaac Puerile, Stevan and Noire - then we have some fun with Australian RnB Classics.

This episode of Groupie Therapy celebrates the artists who weren’t afraid to use music as a tool to expose injustice.

As Australia battles through the worst Bushfire season in history and its leaders continue to choose profit over planet, we look at the part music has played in activism through the years and pass on a collection of songs we feel will gee you up to fight (or f*ck) the system!

If you are in a position to make a financial contribution to those affected by the bushfires we suggest https://au.gofundme.com/f/fire-relief-fund-for-first-nations-communities.
