All My Friends Are in Bar Bands

196 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 2 years ago - ★★★ - 6 ratings

Across over ten years of going to shows, I've met countless fascinating people that are joined together by the fact I love their music. This is a medium in which I look to find out the bigger picture, the extended story and the journey that brought them to where they are. No genre or topic is off limits. I'm David James Young - and all my friends are in bar bands.

Episode 141: My Friends at Yours & Owls Festival 2019

October 25, 2019 02:26 - 1 hour - 66.9 MB

The sun is out, the guitars are plugged in and the gates are open... Yours & Owls Festival is a go for yet another year. For the fourth year in a row, stuck the mic into the face of some of the festival's biggest names to spin a few quick yarns about the first show, worst show and best show that these artists have ever played. This year, we went around the horn with Vera Blue, Odette, Sneaky Sound System, Caitlin and Nick from West Thebarton, Ruel, Evan and James and Griff from WAAX, Matt fr...

Episode 140: My Friends Karnivool

September 27, 2019 02:14 - 57 minutes - 52.6 MB

In 2005, Karnivool became an overnight success story in Australian heavy music - and all it took was nearly a decade of pushing the band to get there. Nearly 15 years on, the Perth five-piece have lost none of their drive or motivation - even if we don't hear new music for years at a time. There's a method to the madness, and the band's approach to progressive alt-metal has kept them in consistent demand as a live band both nationally and internationally. In-between all of that, there's been ...

Episode 139: My Friends Ruby Fields

September 19, 2019 22:00 - 47 minutes - 43.7 MB

Friends plural, you ask? Yep, that's right. For all intents and purposes, Ruby Fields is not one singer-songwriter but four best friends: Adam, Patrick, Ruby and Tarzo. They've been kicking around in one another's bands for years, all based out of the Sutherland Shire and its intrinsic music community. It wasn't until Ruby's music broke out just a couple of years ago, however, that business really picked up. Before a show in Canberra, all four members of the band shared stories from across th...

Episode 138: My Friends Foxing

September 12, 2019 22:00 - 50 minutes - 46.4 MB

The big-time was never meant for a band like Foxing. They grew up on the outskirts of any real music scene in St. Louis, Missouri, often having to venture outwards or create their own scene and community from within. It's with this, however, that Foxing have become cult heroes. While a typical show from the band won't be filling out big theatres or arenas, everyone in attendance is devoted to the band's passionate and inventive take on emo-revival indie-rock. Look no further than their maiden...

Episode 137: My Friends Miss June

September 05, 2019 22:00 - 45 minutes - 41.2 MB

Warehouses, dive bars, boats... if there's a PA set up somewhere in New Zealand, there's a good chance Miss June have rocked it and then trashed the place. As one of the country's most sought-after live acts, the Auckland-based quartet have put in the hard yards on songs that are equal parts noisy, hooky and defiant - all before even so much as putting out their debut album. Today, that all changes - their debut album is finally here, and it's well worth the wait. Prior to all of that, howeve...

Episode 136: My Friend SPOD

August 29, 2019 22:00 - 1 hour - 59.9 MB

He's the new old guy on the block. The overnight success story with the 20-year career. He's the guy indie kids of multiple generations love - and the guy Duran Duran loved to hate. He's SPOD, baby - and when he's at home, they call him Brent Griffin. It's safe to say that no-one has had quite the same trajectory in the world of music - from a simple Hills District kid discovering hip-hop, to 2000s festival favourite, right up to 2010s cult figure and coffee reporter. With an hour to spare in...

Episode 135: My Friends Charly Bliss

August 22, 2019 22:22 - 42 minutes - 39 MB

The world of Charly Bliss is a constantly evolving one. It's bunny-moshing and sugar-rushes one moment, slow-dances and sombre synths the next. Across two albums, it's made them one of the most captivating new bands on the indie-rock circuit - and in July of 2019, it was finally Australia's turn to experience this exceptional band in the flesh. Over a couple of jetlagged drinks in Sydney, frontwoman Eva Hendricks and guitarist Spencer Fox let loose on everything from the art of percussion to ...

Episode 134: My Friend Dave Jenkins, Jr.

August 16, 2019 03:14 - 1 hour - 66.4 MB

Behind every great solo performer, there is a killer session musician bringing their work to life. Just ask Dave Jenkins, Jr. - after all, he's made a career out of it. From Andy Bull to Reece Mastin, Vera Blue to Kirin J. Callinan all the way up to childhood hero Daniel Johns, the multi-instrumentalist has found himself either behind the kit or serving as the musical director for an impressive bevvy of names. In 2019, he's officially stepping out on his own under the moniker of Not A Boy's ...

Episode 133: My Friend Azim Zain

August 01, 2019 22:00 - 43 minutes - 40.1 MB

This week's story is bittersweet. We're celebrating the musical journey of an incredibly talented young man, whose honest and emotive work was bolstered by a fruitful and prosperous DIY community after other parts of the country - and even the world - ignored him. Azim Zain is a Malaysian-born singer, songwriter, guitarist and multi-instrumentalist that has split his life between Adelaide, Sydney and Canberra. Unfortunately, Azim was recently deported, meaning he can't be with us here in Aust...

Episode 132: My Friends I Know Leopard

July 04, 2019 22:00 - 56 minutes - 52.2 MB

The hills of Adelaide. The beaches of the Central Coast. The outskirts of Sydney's inner-west. Despite coming from three completely different worlds, the four members of I Know Leopard found common ground through their love of music - from The Strokes to classical and all the way through to worship music. 2019 has already proven to be the biggest year of the band's career - their long-awaited debut album, , was released in April, and saw the band sell out a show at Sydney's Oxford Art Factory...

Episode 131: My Friend Japanese Wallpaper

June 27, 2019 22:00 - 34 minutes - 31.6 MB

For many guests on , high school is a place to cut your teeth, learn some covers and jam in your friend's garage. Gab Strum - AKA Japanese Wallpaper - is not your average guest. He's not even your average musician. He took to his laptop rather than guitars or drums, and with the first musical project he ever concocted he was lifted to national attention through winning triple j's Unearthed High competition.Bar Bands It's been one thing after another ever since - sold-out national tours, inter...

Episode 130: My Friend Jake Webb (Methyl Ethel)

June 13, 2019 22:00 - 36 minutes - 33.7 MB

For many Australian music fans, Methyl Ethel didn't just arrive - they materialised, seemingly out of nowhere. With their sleeper hit "Ubu," the Perth natives took to national stages to increasing acclaim that has now spread to their third studio album, . Long before he was bemoaning anyone's hairstyle choices, however, Jake Webb was a curious and introverted kid trying to figure out his place in the world of music. He spent years honing his craft and playing as a sideman before anyone had so...

Episode 129: My Friend Carla Geneve

May 31, 2019 03:00 - 29 minutes - 27.1 MB

One of WA's most promising young upstarts, Carla Geneve forged out her love of music as a young kid in Albany. Persevering through hellish piano lessons, Geneve later discovered the healing powers of Acca Dacca and The Living End. She's long since turned the amp up to 11 and carved her own path in the rock world. Although she's only 20 years old, Geneve has already lapped up considerable national attention for her endearing and honest music. On the eve of the release of her debut EP, we spoke...

Episode 128: My Friends The Magic Numbers

May 17, 2019 03:00 - 46 minutes - 43 MB

"This is our music. These are rebel songs. Are you in or out?" Ever since the Stodarts (Romeo and Michelle) crossed paths with the Gannons (Angela and Sean) on the outskirts of London, theirs has always been a unique approach. In the mid-2000s, they generated a buzz to the point that they were able to play three sold-out shows without even releasing any music. Plenty has followed in the intervening years, however, including last year's excellent LP. Outsiders Traversing the worlds of pop and...

Episode 127: My Friends Red City Radio

May 09, 2019 22:00 - 38 minutes - 35.1 MB

Red City Radio know they belong to the land, and the land they belong to is grand. As one of Oklahoma City's major musical exports, the band have been taking their barroom-ready take on melodic punk to every last sweaty room that will have them. It's changed a lot since drummer Dallas Tidwell co-founded the band in 2005 - so much so, it's left him as the only original member. For this chat, he's joined by the person with the second-longest tenure - vocalist/guitarist Garrett Dale - and the tw...

Episode 126: My Friend Banoffee

April 11, 2019 22:00 - 31 minutes - 29.3 MB

Banoffee is regarded as one of the most forward-thinking and innovative pop/dance songwriters working today. With co-signs from the likes of SOPHIE and Charli XCX, not to mention a string of killer fashion collabs, she holds the captive attention of a global audience. Before all that though, Banoffee was Martha Brown - a part of Melbourne's Two Bright Lakes collective and one third of art-pop outsiders Otouto. It's a unique Venn diagram that few artists truly fit into, and before her headlini...

Episode 125: My Friend George Clarke (Deafheaven)

March 28, 2019 21:00 - 40 minutes - 36.9 MB

As soon as he was drawn to music as a teenager, George Clarke had an eye for the extraordinary, the outlandish and the unabashedly heavy. It would come to reflect in the music that he made himself, most notably coming to fruition in the form of Deafheaven. Four albums deep, the Grammy-nominated band are one of metal's most divisive and engaging acts - and they've never compromised their vision for anyone or anything. So, how did this awkward Californian kid become one of his genre's most conf...

Episode 124: My Friends Antonia Susan (The Lazy Susans) and Lande Hekt (Muncie Girls)

March 21, 2019 21:00 - 34 minutes - 31.7 MB

Although they grew up at different times in two different parts of the world, Antonia Susan and Lande Hekt have a lot more in common than you'd think. They both latched onto music young, they bashed about in their teenage years and they found a wider audience for their emotive and honest take on indie rock in their 20s. From the misty Blue Mountains to the countryside of Exeter, Tones and Lande have plenty of stories to share of how music has impacted on their lives - and prior to a show toge...

Episode 123: My Friend Joe Talbot (IDLES)

March 07, 2019 21:00 - 33 minutes - 30.9 MB

Most guests of the podcast spend ages traversing different bands before they land on The One. For Joe Talbot, all he has ever known as a vocalist, songwriter and performer has been IDLES since they first formed back in 2009. His perseverance with the band has come to pay off with major dividends, as the Bristol-based band rose to major indie stardom in 2018 with their critically-adored second album, Joy As An Act Of Resistance. In a candid chat in the Gallery Bar of Sydney's Oxford Art Factor...

Episode 122: My Friend Phoebe Bridgers

February 22, 2019 02:00 - 26 minutes - 24.8 MB

Growing up on the outskirts of LA, Phoebe Bridgers never had a specific moment where she decided to become a musician - truth be told, it was second nature. It wasn't long after Bridgers picked up a guitar that she was performing around town to an ever-increasing audience, eventually landing her slots on the road with everyone from Julien Baker to the Violent Femmes. She's been winning hearts and drawing out tears from her audience ever since, not only with her remarkable 2017 debut but also ...

Episode 121: My Friends The Beths

February 14, 2019 21:00 - 34 minutes - 31.7 MB

Outside of the land of the long white cloud, The Beths were somewhat of a well-kept secret up until about this time last year. With the release of their debut album, Future Me Hates Me, the Auckland band became an international commodity and one of the quickest rising indie-rock bands of 2018. They now have support slots with the likes of Death Cab for Cutie and Bloc Party under their belts, not to mention a string of sold-out gigs both at home and across the pond. Before all of that, though,...

Episode 120: My Friends Polish Club

January 31, 2019 21:00 - 36 minutes - 33.2 MB

David Novak and John-Henry Pajak are Polish Club. They're born entertainers, leather-jacket-cool rockstars and purveyors of hip-swinging, soulful garage rock. They've also served time in punk bands (contrary to Daniel Johns' opinion), smashed more McNuggets than they'd care to mention and travelled extensively to perform for a whole slew of punters along the way. Today's chat is loose, highly informal and occasionally explicit. It's also funny and insightful, as one would expect from two such...

Episode 119: My Friends The Bronx

December 27, 2018 21:00 - 45 minutes - 41.5 MB

The Bronx arrived on the scene some 15 years ago, all hardcore punk ethics and rock & roll showmanship. Through everything, they're still here and still raising hell on a global scale. Five albums deep - eight if you count their Mariachi El Bronx records - the Los Angeles band have a storied history that has traversed house shows, international festivals and the hallowed halls of the Ed Sullivan Theater. Before a killer show at Sydney's Metro Theatre this past October, vocalist Matt Caughtthr...

Episode 118: My Friend Cadien James (Twin Peaks)

December 07, 2018 02:43 - 26 minutes - 24.2 MB

Born out of house shows and boredom, Chicago jangle merchants Twin Peaks have provided damn good tunes to the masses since their late-teens formation. Their years in the trenches as a DIY touring band eventually landed them spots on festivals and tours around the globe - in this instance, bringing them all the way over to Australia to support Skegss on a national tour. Prior to their fourth and final show at the Metro in Sydney, the band's de-facto leader Cadien James powered through a mix of...

Episode 117: My Friend Josh Earl

November 29, 2018 23:51 - 35 minutes - 32.3 MB

Is this a crossover episode? Well, kind of. Josh Earl is best known as a stand-up comedian and the host of the incredibly funny quiz-show podcast If you've ever seen Earl perform, though, you'll know he's got history as a musician as well. Having released several EPs, collaborated with fellow Tasmanian comic Justin “The Bedroom Philosopher” Heazlewood and written a particularly-beloved song about the Women's Weekly cake book, Earl has a love of music that runs in his blood – and probably thro...

Episode 116: My Friend Darling James

November 15, 2018 21:00 - 47 minutes - 43.6 MB

James O'Brien is Darling James. Before that, he was Jamezboat – bassist, vocalist and songwriter in Brisbane indie darlings The Boat People. Going back even further, O'Brien was a rural Queensland kid that chanced upon a love of music and never looked back. The multi-instrumentalist has played with Kate Miller-Heidke, toured the world and been through the ringer both in a band and as a solo artist. Just after soundcheck at Waywards in Newtown, James gets into the finer points of classical mus...

Episode 115: My Friends Skegss

November 08, 2018 21:00 - 42 minutes - 39.3 MB

Whether you know every word to every song or you're still trying to figure out if it's double G or double S at the end, Skegss have been more or less inescapable in the last 18 months and change. Their cult fanbase has poured over into the mainstream, filling out venues across the country and scoring high rotation on triple j. Not bad for three country kids, two of which that grew up not far from the most easterly point in Australia. In the middle of a sold-out run of Metro Theatre headliners...

Episode 114: My Friends Pagan

October 26, 2018 04:08 - 34 minutes - 31.7 MB

Melbourne band Pagan aren't concerned with round holes and square pegs – they're too busy trying to kick the door down and rip down the foundations. The genre-defiant quartet dropped their debut album, Black Wash, earlier in the year to much fanfare – although they've had quite the run-up to its release, and it's far from their first rodeo. Vocalist Nikki Brumen and bassist Dan Bonnici share a lot of history together, and over some beers at Young Henry's in Enmore they divulge basically all o...

Episode 113: My Friends at Yours & Owls Festival 2018

October 11, 2018 21:00 - 59 minutes - 54.6 MB

It's the last weekend of September, the sun is out and the Gong is alive with the sound of music – you already know what time it is! For the third year running, Bar Bands is kicking back with some of the best acts that Yours & Owls Festival has to offer. We're finding out about first gigs, worst gigs and best gigs with a whole bevvy of legends. This year, we've got Alice Ivy, Mallrat, Middle Kids, Boy Toy, MEZKO, E^ST, Listener, Liars frontman Angus Andrew and the incredible Erica Dunn and La...

Episode 112: My Friend Tim Commandeur (Operator Please, PNAU, Tkay Maidza)

September 27, 2018 22:00 - 34 minutes - 32.1 MB

When we first met Tim Commandeur, he was better known as Timmy. The baby-faced drummer was still in high school when he joined Operator Please, and by the time they'd graduated they'd become one of the biggest names in Australian indie. Those days are long gone, but Tim is able to look back on them fondly while still forging ahead as one of the country's most active drummers. Pounding the skins for both Tkay Maidza and PNAU, Commandeur still plays to massive audiences all over the place - and...

Episode 111: My Friends Tiny Moving Parts

September 06, 2018 22:00 - 37 minutes - 34.8 MB

Tiny Moving Parts have been keeping it all in the family since well before they formed - they're made up of two brothers and a cousin, after all. Coming out of a sleepy town in Minnesota, the band has always dared to be different, mixing their love of emo and pop-punk with a dizzying, mathy approach to instrumentation. It's seen them quickly outgrow the basements they once thrived in, eventually ascending to international acclaim and sold-out tours everywhere they travel. They take none of it...

Episode 110: My Friend Andrew W.K.

August 30, 2018 22:00 - 17 minutes - 16.5 MB

What can you say about this week's guest that hasn't already been said? Andrew W.K. is more than just a hard partyer - he's a prodigious multi-instrumentalist, motivational speaker and world record holder. He is a phenomena that has overcome every obstacle and lived to tell the tale - and for 15 glorious minutes, we held court with the great man before his show at the Manning Bar in Sydney. It's not a long time, but it's a damn good time. Andrew W.K.'s new album "You're Not Alone" is out now...

Episode 109: My Friend Marihuzka Cornelius (Bloods)

August 17, 2018 03:01 - 32 minutes - 29.4 MB

They call her MC. She's a singer, guitarist, kickass mum and the leader of Sydney's resident garage-rock sweetheart gang Bloods. The band was born out of a desire to do new things, as three mates all switched instruments to see what would happen. It was far from MC's first rodeo, though - across nearly 20 years in the game she's toured all over Australia and played with some of her teenage idols across a variety of projects. With Bloods' new album dropping, we pulled up some stools at The For...

Episode 108: My Friends Press Club

August 02, 2018 22:00 - 31 minutes - 28.5 MB

Press Club played their first show at the start of 2017. 18 months later, they'd opened for everyone from The Smith Street Band to Kingswood and sold out their first-ever headlining tour. Sure enough, this kind of thing just didn't happen overnight. The members of Press Club have been at it for years now - in fact, bassist Ian MacRae and drummer Frank Lees have been playing in bands together since they were in high school. Before a packed-out show at Sydney's Chippo Hotel, the rhythm section ...

Episode 107: My Friends The Bennies (Bowie and Nick "Complete the Set" Edition)

July 27, 2018 01:50 - 49 minutes - 45.4 MB

Gotta catch 'em all! Following on from Jules' appearance in episode 9 and Anty and Craig's appearance in episode 35, we're now completing the set with the two remaining members of The Bennies that have yet to do the show: Founding member David "Bowie" Beaumont on drums and new guy Nick Williams on the bass. Settled in next to the heater on a Sunday night at Wollongong Uni Bar, the rhythm section pick up the pace with some hilarious and endearing stories from high school all the way up to the...

Episode 106: My Friends RAAVE TAPES

July 05, 2018 22:00 - 40 minutes - 37.2 MB

There ain't no party like a RAAVE TAPES party. The Newcastle dance punks have been on a steady ascent for the last couple of years on the back of some dazzling live shows and killer singles. Now, with single 'Suds' out in the world, their positive partying is reaching a bigger audience than ever before. Take this night, for instance, where Raavies sold out Wollongong's Rad Bar and promptly dominated it. Before they did, however, the band - vocalist/guitarist/founder Joab Eastley, bassist Lind...

Episode 105: My Friend Rob Mills

June 21, 2018 22:00 - 33 minutes - 30.7 MB

Fifteen years ago, Australia was introduced to a cheeky Melbourne-born singer with a true-blue nickname and dimples out the wazoo. Rob Mills - or Millsy, as he's better known - was a breakout star of Australian Idol in its first season, arriving at it after years of slugging it out in pubs and singing to anyone who would listen. In 2018, Mills still keeps as busy as he ever has. Though he's gotten out of the pop game, he's an active theatre performer and current Neighbours supervillain. Prese...

Episode 104: My Friends Eat Your Heart Out

June 08, 2018 08:05 - 39 minutes - 36.3 MB

In space, no-one can hear you scream. In Musswellbrook, they can hear you sing - they just don't care. From a small town in the Upper Hunter region of New South Wales, Eat Your Heart Out didn't set out with any lofty ambitions. They were just five friends inspired by an assortment of experiences that lead them to create music together. Soon enough, they were touring nationally and inking international deals. Today, they stand as one of the country's top pop-punk exports - and they haven't eve...

Episode 103: My Friends The Cribs

May 31, 2018 22:00 - 30 minutes - 28.1 MB

Raised on a diet of Queen and Nirvana in a small northern English town, the Jarman brothers - Ryan, Gary and Ross - knew they'd end up making music. What they could have never anticipated, however, is how far it would take them. From sleeping in vans to playing the main stages of the biggest festivals in the world, The Cribs have rolled with the punches for well over a decade - and they're not done yet. On their first tour of Australia in five years, the Jarmans locked in a half-hour of power...

Episode 102: My Friends West Thebarton

May 17, 2018 22:00 - 36 minutes - 33.8 MB

If two's company and three's a crowd, what the hell are West Thebarton? The Adelaide-based septet have been getting the party started over the last few years, taking them across Australia and back again on the back of their raucous live shows. Today, they release their debut album – but back in December, the band were warming up the stage for Polish Club on a national tour. Frontman Ray Dalfsen, percussionist Brian Bolado and guitarist Josh Healey pulled together as representatives of the Wes...

Episode 101: My Friend Ben David Returns

May 10, 2018 22:00 - 1 hour - 57.8 MB

In January 2015, Ben David - erstwhile troubadour, frontman of The Hard Aches and feeler of feels - sat in front of a microphone and got interviewed for the first-ever episode of All My Friends Are in Bar Bands. Almost exactly three years later, Ben sat in front of that very same microphone for episode 101. A lot has changed in the intervening years - and we get to a lot of it. Among the topics are Melbourne, gig safety, strangers knowing the words to your songs and even the podcast itself. T...

Episode 100: My Friends Thelma Plum, Jay Whalley and Murray Cook (LIVE!)

May 04, 2018 06:44 - 1 hour - 65.8 MB

It finally happened. Bar Bands hit triple digits, and we threw together a live episode at the Red Rattler Theatre in Marrickville to celebrate. Three musicians from very different backgrounds - singer-songwriter Thelma Plum, Frenzal Rhomb frontman Jay Whalley and The Wiggles' own Murray Cook - came together to share stories from their first love of music, their time on the road and what drives them as artists. It was about the most enjoyable thing you could have done Around Here. I can't reme...

Episode 99: My Friend Gareth Liddiard

April 13, 2018 01:53 - 49 minutes - 45.8 MB

One of Australia's most celebrated contemporary writers - medium regardless - Gareth Liddiard has told stories to divided but uniformly attentive audiences for over 20 years at this point. He penned a song voted by his peers to be the greatest Australian song of all time. He has a bevvy of acclaimed, modern-classic LPs under his belt through both The Drones and his time as a solo artist. And the most terrifying thing of all? He sound like he's only getting started, thanks to a new life at the...

Episode 98: My Friend Gordi

April 05, 2018 22:00 - 40 minutes - 36.8 MB

Born Sophie Payten, Gordi was a wide-eyed kid falling in love with music out in country New South Wales on her family farm. After being particularly inspired by a Missy Higgins show in her teens, she focused her attention on songwriting - first a folksy dreamer, then a maximalist indie-pop maestro. Her debut LP, Reservoir, was released to critical acclaim in 2017 and lead to huge tours both nationally and internationally. In late November, Gordi played a sold-out show at Sydney's Oxford Art F...

Episode 97: My Friend Evan Klar

February 22, 2018 21:00 - 32 minutes - 29.5 MB

Born in Perth, raised in Singapore before moving to London and then back to Australia, Stefan Niedermeyer - AKA Evan Klar - has seen more of the world in his formative years than most will see in their lifetime. Before coming to the realm of solo performance, Niedermeyer was a session musician. It lead to cushy gigs and tours, but something greater was inevitably on the horizon. For a Bar Bands first, David speaks to a man that he's never met and never heard the music of - just to see what m...

Episode 96: My Friends Hockey Dad

February 08, 2018 21:00 - 48 minutes - 44.1 MB

It's a long road from Computer Town Australia to an Airbnb in Los Angeles, but in just under six years Hockey Dad have blazed the trail there and back again. Billy Fleming and Zach Stephenson have known one another since they were kids, growing up on the same street in the southern suburbs of Wollongong. They formed Hockey Dad on a whim in 2012, and the years since have seen them steadily build up a profile as one of the country's hardest-touring and most fun to watch bands. Rolling darts out...
