The Meanies

The Meanies

Wed 28 Sep 2022
Studio 5 Live

The Meanies have always been outlandishly funny - this never stood in the way of their musical talent as Australia's punk-rock stalwarts. As longstanding PBS favourites, they have visited the station in various capacities over the years, always bringing their special brand of high energy wit and humour to the airwaves. You can hear this in their early sessions on PBS, like their 2007 Studio 5 Live session, which represents the band’s original energy, playful on-stage banter, sharp wit and even sharper riffs.

Marlon Williams' third record My Boy is this week's PBS Feature Album.

Julia Jacklin - PRE PLEASURE

Feature Sounds

Julia Jacklin's third album PRE PLEASURE is this week's PBS Feature Album. 

Conceived upon returning to Australia at the end of a huge world tour, and finished in a frantic few months of recording in Montreal, "The songs on this record took either three years to write or three minutes". PRE PLEASURE sees Julia Jacklin expanding beyond her signature sound, while conjuring the ripples and faultlines caused by unreliable communication.
