The Shane Oliver Experience
A Brisbane Music-Scene PODCAST
Our generation more than any other is steeped in politics, feminism, mental health awareness, and the arts. Over the last 10 years, Shane Oliver has been at the hub of it all: the Brisbane live music scene. As an avid gig-goer, friend of many musicians, and aspiring musician himself, Shane offers a unique perspective on the highs and lows of the world behind live music and how it shapes our worldview, with the help of musicians from around Australia and beyond.

The bright and colourful man behind the noise came in and smashed out 3 hours of tangents out the earholes. We covered everything from world problems, the recent mini documentary Loki was apart of about The Underdog (now Netherworld) where the inspiration comes from, attempting the guiness record for the most playable pedals and literally so much more. Now restrictions are beginning to ease make sure to hassle the guys in Wise Man Say to play a show in a town near you and witness some chaos

It felt strange recording in my own bedroom, not in a bad way since distance rather than the virus made that happen, probably more so the fact it was my second attempt at a skype recording and normally I record in the studio. Dreamworm has a fascinating story and the lore behind the band is pretty mindblowing, Harshmellow is a comedic musical combo started by a shared love for art and each other. We talk about coping in crazy times, storytelling in music and so much more. I had such a good time getting to know these two and will always look forward to seeing what they both produce and to see them perform when restrictions start to ease over the country. Be sure to check them out on facebook, instagram, patreon and most other streaming services.

Well hot damn it's good to be back. First episode since the craziness of COVID19 had the owner of King Lears Throne aka King of the shit talk Kenny onboard for a chat and it stayed on track relatively early but as you guessed it we talked a lot of shit. Being someone directly affected by the lockdown I wanted to check in and see how the industry is holding up as well as having a chat with such a lovely human being after the lockdown. We talk favourite shows played at his pub, getting the foot in the door and how the other venues are supporting one another. Once this all blows over (safely of course) King lears will be up at running and to quote the man himself "it should be at leassttt 30% better"
Songs played include:
Gridflex - Eat the Rich
Beans on Toast - M.D.M Amazing
Being Jane Lane - Savage Sunday
All have played in the tiny confines of King Lears

Hip hop has never been the genre I go too first but I've never held a grudge, it's thought provoking, catchy and lyrically captivating. With the help of local brisbane legend Late1, we sat down for a few beers to talk about Brisbane's hip hop scene, what seperates his style from the rest, the comradery between other artists and collaborations and plenty more. You can reach out to Late1 through the usual platforms like facebook and Instagram as well as soundcloud and spotify for his music which is fantastic by the way. Couldn't have asked for a better guest to help expand my knowledge of the genre and look forward to see what he gets up too next.

These girls in the short amount of time being a band have accomplished so much it's mental. Kelly, Stacey & Sophia we're so much fun to have in the studio and definitely appreciate them taking the time to do so ♡ we get to know more about the origins of Blussh, where the journey started, the odd conspiracy here and there and so much more. Catch the girls playing at Sol Bar up the Sunny coast on the 20th of March then at the Greaser bar on the 26th and keep your eyes and ears peeled for what they get up too for the rest of the year.

I hadn't been to a Thursday night show in a while, of course I picked a rainy night to do so. Absolutely worth it though to catch up with the guys in Cowboys and Injuries, Andy and Nick are such good dudes and I'm a little bummed I couldn't get them in the studio but this is exactly why the live format has come into play. The goldy punks have just dropped a 2 track release on spotify and have more shows and songs coming at you in the near future. The audio does get a little dicey here and there and towards the end the next band starts playing but hey, that's being live for you (also recording off a phone lel) Genuinely can't wait to see what they get up too next so go and give them a follow on all the social media platforms

Sometimes guests can't make it in to the studio because of schedules, life, you name it; that's totally okay in this instance I had the chance to meet up with the Garlic Nun boys for a few beers down the road from The Bearded Lady in West End before their show and full disclaimer, the sound won't be the greatest, there's background noise from the markets next door and a lot of back and forth chat it's hard to work out at times, but this is the feel I'm going for and especially more so for this episode. Such a crazy bunch of dudes but absolutely the best kind and their show that night with Blussh The Unknowns and Goon on the Rocks was just mental. If you missed out on seeing them I wouldn't be too bummed I'm sure they'll be back soon and with new tunes.

You'd think managing a band would be busy enough but apparently not. Karl lends not only that but bass skills to well known punk band The Gastons, runs his own promotion company and also has a seriously cool sounding side project on the way in Meth Teeth. We talk origins, family, the love of music and the passions we draw from it and so much more. Keep an eye out on all three groups Karl's in for 2020, definitely some cool things coming!

The latest (skype) episode is out now featuring Legionnaire Cap Gangsta Tom Tanuki of YARD notoriety. We talk about his experience in hip hop from a younger time to the current times involving his activism roles and how it can affect you mentally and emotionally and lots more. Skype calls can we weird sometimes but Tom was a legend and it was a great yarn. Definitely worth getting behind what he does.
