After having so much fun with Australian Music in January I have decided to shine the spotlight once again on Australian Music in April 2016. Kicking off the month with:
April Fools Day - Australian Hits from Today and Yesterday
Australian Weekly Feature Albums all April long (that's 4 in total)
Australian Features all month long, right here
Only being January (the end of now) and there are already two excellent Australian albums that both deserve an Album of the Year nod already so by April I expect a load of great Australian full length releases so I will have a mini Album of the Year (Australian themed) on ANZAC day.
Groovin the Moo will also be held over April (May if you're reading this three hours behind me typing it in WA) and the line up dropped during this BLOG's very busy week. So check out the full line up HERE but below, some of this years lineups highlights.
And finally for start of a new year (really 2016 starts in February for Australians, January is a blur of New Years Day, lazy hot days, too much Tennis and cricket and a whole load of sick days) a new Feature Album. Well it dropped yesterday on iTunes and is currently sitting at Number One on iTunes, beating out an artists (ironically) some of the tracks were written for. Yes Sia's brilliant new 7th studio record will be the Feature Album from Monday.
Her track Cheap Thrills (written for Rhi Rhi's Anto album, sitting at Number 2 on iTunes currently) is also sitting at Number 23 on the iTunes singles chart, Alive is at Number 40 & Unstoppable at Number 78. On my Fresh Friday countdown last night, her two tunes above Alive & Cheap Thrills both continued to shine and it looks like 2016 is the year Sia returns to the live stage with her already being announced on the Coachella line up in the USA.
So from Monday it's Sia mania all week long! This week has also been huge for Flume as he continues to be Number One on my Fresh Friday countdown and only yesterday he dropped another jam from his Skin record (release date TBA).
