Today I'm joined by Dylan Baddeley and Carlos Tinsey of Kitschen Boy: A brilliant indie rock band from Melbourne / Naarm producing tracks full of jangly guitars, dreamy synths, and loads of energy. As they gear up for their first international tour, they've just released their new single - "The Perfect Excuse" - ahead of their upcoming EP "Now Arriving At Panic Station". This was such a fun conversation - I highly encourage you to support the release and catch them on tour.

Today I'm sitting down with Kumar Shome. Kumar is a prolific, virtuoso guitarist and composer. A legend in the Australian music scene, he's played and toured with a ton of artists, including but not limited to Sampa the Great, Mulatu Astake, Silent Jay, REMI, The Bamboos and The Cat Empire, as well with his own band Kumar Shome and The Punkawallahs. He's also a great teacher, and I was lucky enough to get lessons from him for a few years in high school.
