New World Artists tour

Tom Busby, one half of the ARIA-nominated, award-winning duo Busby Marou, is stepping out on his own this November with The Lottery Tour.

Renée Geyer’s self-titled debut album, Renée Geyer, was released in September 1973, marking a pivotal moment in Australian music history. Now, over five decades later, Gil Matthews of Aztec Records has remastered and reissued this seminal work, offering fans both new and old a chance to experience the raw energy and soul of a young artist on the cusp of greatness. This release not only brings back the original tracks but also includes six bonus live recordings from the GTK sessions circa 1973–74, providing a comprehensive look at Geyer's early career.

Sycco has released a new companion EP, Home Is Where The Zorb Still Is, celebrating the one-year anniversary of her j award-winning debut album Zorb. Out now via Future Classic, the EP continues her kaleidoscopic blend of psych-pop, introspection, and club-ready sounds.
