What's sweet, sticky and features six members? That'll have to be Naarm (Melbourne) based groove outfit Sugar Fed Leopards whose members are celebrating a decade of platonic love with each other and their romantic love of music. Their recently released album, Love. Be in it, is a jubilant, sequinned space-disco extravaganza that's an ode to the festivities of life. Frontperson Sugar Breath to takes us through some infectious and choice Australian cuts found by the band on amrap.com.au.
Jess Ribeiro - Everything Is Now
[Jess Ribeiro] is an old and dear friend of mine, and ours, and our lives are interwoven. This song is called Everything Is Now and it's got an excellent film clip too, which you can watch and enjoy.
Don't Thank Me, Spank Me! - Sandy
They've been inspired by Sandy from Greece, and it's a bit of fun and a bit groovy. Enjoy.
Cong Josie - Margarita
We're getting a bit darker now, this is from a few years ago but it's still a classic. [Cong Josie} is a fantastic live act happening around Melbourne and through Australia at the moment. He's at the height of his powers in Cong so enjoy this song!
Our Carlson - Acid Kicks In
We're going pretty heavy now. This is our bass player's choice, Our Carlson. This is just really great fun, it makes you want to just get up and do your work.
The Belair Lip Bombs - Say My Name
A classic pop hit from last year from the Frankston band The Belair Lip Bombs. I just love this song, its just so cool. Ít's got a great film clip and this band, well, they're all over the place at the moment in the literal good way, they're traveling and being really on top of their game. So enjoy The Belair Lip Bombs and just get excited about the youth and the young Australians making bloody great music.
