Gab, of transplanted rock monolith Gasoline Inc, talks cross-dressing, Brazilian music, INXS, ballads, chick-filled party buses and more.

Hot off their second EP ‘The Wanted One’, Melbourne (via Perth) hard rockers Gasoline Inc are firing up for a East Coast tour.

Frontman, Brazilian-born Gabriel O’Brien, tells us about the antics behind the scenes on their cross-dressing party bus filled with lovely lasses, recording with a graffitied doona over his head, his South American musical heritage, playing with INXS, hitting the country with Kiwis The Feelers, and more.

Check out their tourdates here.

Normie Rowe’s 2019 cover of 1927’s ‘Compulsory Hero’ Continues to Resonate For ANZAC Day 2024

In 2019, Normie Rowe cover the 1927 hit ‘Compulsory Hero’ as a tribute to Australia’s servicemen and women. As ANZAC Day 2024 approaches, Normie’s version of the song has become a comment of the time made even more poignant because he is also a returned serviceman.
