Jaguar Jonze - Eurovision: Australia Decides 2020
She's been in Studio 3 at 4ZZZ for "Right Here, Right Now", she's the only Eurovision: Australia Decides 2020 entrant who is a 4ZZZ Hot 100 2019 placegetter, and she's bringing alternative indie rock to Eurovision.
She is Qld's Jaguar Jonze! "Rabbit Hole" is her song, written just over a year ago when she was dealing with the tumbling thoughts and conflicts that life was bringing - and now she's laying it out big time on television - her first ever experience of working to camera! No biggie!!
Mitch Tambo - Eurovision: Australia Decides 2020
Yaama! Mitch Tambo singing in both English and his native Gamilaraay language takes Eurovision: Australia Decides 2020 up a notch. Hell, SEVERAL notches. A powerful anthem of unity and the power that is possible to be harnessed could be the song that Australia needs to hear, and maybe - just maybe - the song and artist that goes on to represent Australia at Eurovision 2020 in Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Didirri - Eurovision: Australia Decides 2020
The most indie/alternative of the indie alternative artists at Eurovision: Australia Decides. Melbourne "sadboy" Didirri, the son of two creative people (artist and song writer) brings one of the most personal songs to this year's contest to find the one artist to represent Australia at Eurovision 2020 in Rotterdamn, The Netherlands.
"Raw Stuff" is a self-penned song about a very painful breakup, and it does what it says on the label! It's about "Raw Stuff" - it's a beautiful, totally pared down piano and light strings number that may the surprise of the show!
iOTA - Eurovision: Australia Decides 2020
Glam and gorgeous! iOTA has had a near 25 year career in Australia, first as a flamboyant rock star in the late 90s and then transitioning to theatre and creating unforgettable portrayals, such as "Hedwig" in "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" and a definitive performance as "Frank N Furter" in "The Rocky Horror Show". Eurovision is made for iOTA and iOTA for Eurovision.
Reptant: Reptilian Magnetism
- Reptant has just released a new 12” on Salt Mines titled Reptilian Magnetism. Reptant, a pseudonym of Lou Karsh, has put out a number of 12”s under the Reptant alias since 2017, in addition to even more under the name Lou Karsh. Whether he’s running his label, raising money for the bushfires, or producing graphic design, he’s doing commendable work. Salt Mines, the label this record is coming out on, is an ‘Australian made’ Berlin label.
Sløtface: Sorry For The Late Reply
- It was back in 2017 when Slotface’s steady simmer boiled over in emphatic fashion and onto my radar, with their standout debut full length Try Not To Freak Out. This release even got them name dropped in the Netflix series Sex Education. The Norwegian crew deliver bombastic pop-rock with an edge sharpened on the wet stone of a clear social conscious and a snarl that raised a small-scale, punk rebellion.
Georgia: Seeking Thrills

Sarah Mary Chadwick: Please Daddy
<p><span><span>- “<em>My mouth makes you remember / And my c*** makes you forget”</em> taken from <em>My Mouth, My C***</em>. At times we open a bottle, the door to the bulk-billed doctor’s office or in this exceptional case, encounter a record. The content placed in front of us is so increasingly terrifying only because it reflects the injurious truth into our 9-5 intentionally distracted lives. <em>Please Daddy</em>, Sarah Mary Chadwick’s new release is that luminous mirror that is preordained to jolt one awake.
Destroyer: Have We Met

Essentially the solo project of singer-songwriter </span><span lang="en-AU"><strong>Dan Bejar</strong></span><span lang="en-AU">, Destroyer’s music traverses a plethora of genres and sonic landscapes, spanning from their earlier lof-fi / acoustic releases to their newer hi-fi / electronic releases.
