Pojama People

When legendary Japanese guitarist Masami Kawaguchi and seminal underground Australian artist Kim Salmon came together to collaborate, neither was sure of the direction which they would take. With equal parts carefree attitude and punk aesthetic, these two guitarists allowed each of their playing styles to overlap and intertwine, resulting in their LP 'Blossoming'. Coming in to Pojama People, tune in to hear these two musicians ignite in a Studio 3 Live performance.

This April is Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) awareness month, and local rock bands are coming together to make some pretty noise while raising funds and awareness for PMDD Australia. The lineup features Ash Acid, Jess Shreds & The Unmade Beds, Yelo, Prairie Nischler, and Brian Morley, who will be strumming their distorted guitars down at Mamma Chen’s on April 12 from 7pm. Ash Acid stop by Pojama People to chat with Chris Pearson - tune in to learn more about this fundraiser show.

The new album 'Somewhere Between 3 & 5 am' from local rock and roll group Cinco Savages captures a journey all too familiar for many - the culmination of house parties, wild festival nights, and being among the last few still awake in the early hours. In other words, a litany of questionable decisions. With gritty guitar riffs and powerful vocals from front woman Kerrie Loveless, tune in to Pojama People as the band chats about their upcoming show at Lulie Tavern on April 11.

First up on Pojama People is The Miffs, a high-energy psych rock power trio from Naarm known for their intense live performances and unique blend of atmospheric psychedelic rock, surf, and grunge. Their debut self-titled album is a dynamic and ambitious collection, delving into themes of identity, morality, and personal choice, all propelled by thumping, intricately layered jams. Tune in for the full scoop on this exciting upcoming project, due out on April 20.

Ahead of their show at Shotkickers on April 19, Grinding Eyes joins Chris to talk about their upcoming release 'Out of Focus', out April 4 via Poison City Records. Hailing from Eora, the three-piece crafts a dark sonic landscape, blending psychedelic shoegaze, drone rock, and ambient garage punk. The collective has collaborated with Jim Diamond and Paul Maybury, and shared stages with Amyl and the Sniffers, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, and more. Tune in for the full brief on their latest project.
