it's all coming back to me now
The Other Side // 20.04.09 // Every man and his dog
Well, after the best part of a month and a half of the airways this week the Other Side is back taking a look at the ridiculously broad genre of singer-songwriter creations. Inevitably too wide for just one hour there will be lots of looking at smaller, local artists as well as one or two bona fide legends of the scene such as Paul Kelly and Robert Forster.

modular, modular
The Other Side // 09.03.09 // Modular, modular
In a last minute change of show, this week the Other Side, in celebration of the Nevereverland gig at the Arches on Friday the 13th, will be looking at the history and artists of the dynamic Modular label which is putting on the show. Undoubtedly one of the more interesting and dynamic labels around at the moment, over the last ten years this Australian label has put out some of the most exciting, and popular music while also changing its own face to fit into today’s image conscious music industry. From the history of founder Steve Pavlolic to the enormous success of the first Living End album to the Avalanches, and more recently The Presets and Ladyhawke we’ll be taken a proper look at everything Modular in preparation for Fridays show.

the young and the restless
The Other Side // 02.03.09 // The Young and the Restless
Well, well, second FM show already. This week we’re doing the first in a disjointed 2 part series. In a few weeks the show will take a look at the absolute classic, definitive songs that have shaped and influenced the Australian and New Zealand music scenes over the last 50 years. But this week we’re looking at the opposite; brand new bands still on their training wheels but showing real promise. Perhaps they won’t become the next Crowded House, but for the moment bands like Art vs Science, The John Steel Singers and Yves Klein Blue are doing a lot to get people excited and we’ll check out why.
