The Shane Oliver Experience

This was the second attempt at recording, we'd started a 2 part series and never got around to the last part because Covid decided to come along. We scrapped it and tried again with much better success this time round. Having travelled a lot of the world and in particular the states, Nath has met a vast array of musicians and has even worked for them. His own podcast Consuming Impulse has some fantastic international artists to listen too and as well as Nath's story growing up on the Southside during some pretty hostile times. It was an absolute pleasure to chat and I hope he continues to release more content in the future.

It's been a wild ride since the last time we spoke, we decided to have an easy one and caught up at the local pub for a chat. After putting on a successful show in October Jake's organising a second show which is going to be even bigger than the last. As well as running his business he's the main boss dog on the Metal Music Discovery Australia page which after a year has over 3,500 members and growing at a steady rate. We talk all of this plus the current landscape of music and the local scene following Covid's run this year and as we always have we talk about our mental health and check-in. Expect big things in 2021 for Jake and Serenity.

Tom and I met a while back and told me he recently started working with a bloke who was working on a local music app and I just had to find out more about it and why we haven't jumped on this sooner. It honestly never occurred to me to use an app for musicians and venues to promote on but luckily someone was. Both Tom and Hugh have a great passion for live music and and everything inbetween. I had such a great and informative chat with the guys and genuinely can't wait to see GigUp launch.

Episode three brings in the beautiful Ila, who has just started playing live acoustic shows and her other half Ethan the guitarist from Goon on the Rocks. This episode discussed the mental challenges in dealing with isolation during the lockdowns, how much music has an impact on your state of mind, how supportive the local scene has been and so much more. As well as learning more about Ila and Ethan's plans for the rest of this already ridiculous year and looking into 2021, at the end of this episode we're treated to a live song performed by none other than Ila Dorothy.

Kicking off the new season of the experience is a vocal hard man but really one of the nicest guys in the world Githain from the Brisbane hardcore band Deathbed. We talk about musical upbringings, what the hardcore/metal scene was like back 10-15 years ago to what it is now, what's next in store for Deathbed during crazy covid times, and much more. it's looking like good things are heading our way from the death camp including a side project and shows on the horizon as well so be sure to follow their pages, give them a listen, and let loose some of those pent-up emotions.

Jack has been involved in music for a damn long time, it shows with the impressive list of bands he's played for (no doubt I've forgotten a few) This is the kind of normalcy I've grown used to hearing though as being an amazing drummer in Brisbane especially is always in demand. He's also an active supporter at the protests for the release of the refugees from the Kangaroo Point Hotel where over 100 detainees are being held (some up too as long as 8 years) Originally his new Doom band SLUGG planned on debuting their live set at one of the protests but was unfortunately canceled but just recently got the chance to play at Blute's Bar and I totally forgot how bloody loud sludgey doom can be. Expect new tunes and more shows in the future and I highly recommend giving them a watch next time you get the chance to boogie in town.

The latest (skype) episode is out now featuring Legionnaire Cap Gangsta Tom Tanuki of YARD notoriety. We talk about his experience in hip hop from a younger time to the current times involving his activism roles and how it can affect you mentally and emotionally and lots more. Skype calls can we weird sometimes but Tom was a legend and it was a great yarn. Definitely worth getting behind what he does.

The bright and eccentric JJ enters the studio and great times we're had all round. We get talking about the EP he's currently working on along with with adjusting to isolation life, performing online, talking about the oldies but the goodies and how much influence they really have and so much more. This episode also includes 2 live performances at the end for a nice change up and be sure to follow and keep up to date with JJs adventures.

The bright and colourful man behind the noise came in and smashed out 3 hours of tangents out the earholes. We covered everything from world problems, the recent mini documentary Loki was apart of about The Underdog (now Netherworld) where the inspiration comes from, attempting the guiness record for the most playable pedals and literally so much more. Now restrictions are beginning to ease make sure to hassle the guys in Wise Man Say to play a show in a town near you and witness some chaos

It felt strange recording in my own bedroom, not in a bad way since distance rather than the virus made that happen, probably more so the fact it was my second attempt at a skype recording and normally I record in the studio. Dreamworm has a fascinating story and the lore behind the band is pretty mindblowing, Harshmellow is a comedic musical combo started by a shared love for art and each other. We talk about coping in crazy times, storytelling in music and so much more. I had such a good time getting to know these two and will always look forward to seeing what they both produce and to see them perform when restrictions start to ease over the country. Be sure to check them out on facebook, instagram, patreon and most other streaming services.
