1:59PM Jess McGuire | Remember how enthused I was about Brody Dalle’s latest musical outfit Spinnerette? The only thing that could make me happier than watching Brody forget to scream “HEY!” in the video clip for Ghetto Love is watching her forget to scream “HEY!” while playing Ghetto Love live. Wait, what? More »

9:02AM Jess McGuire | Guess how I spent my first night in London? Oh, you know, nothing too crazy. Just watched one of the best bands ever play one of my favourite albums ever in its entirety to an adoring crowd. More »

4:21PM Jess McGuire | Regular readers would probably be quite familiar with Dave McCormack as Your Editor thinks he is made of 100% pure unadulterated awesome and therefore has written about him a fair bit on Defamer Australia. More »

3:34PM Jess McGuire | I meant to do an interview with the extremely wonderful and exquisitely bearded Dean Manning from Holidays On Ice this week, but sporadic internet access and “life, maaaaaan” got in the way – and for that, I will be eternally sorry and begging Dean’s forgiveness. That said, there’s no reason why I can’t tell you a little bit about Holidays On Ice just in time for some of their shows around town, now is there? More »
Go And See Holidays On Ice, Please

4:38PM Jess McGuire | I have a sneaking suspicion that Peaches DJ gigs in Australia are going to be remarkably better than those featuring the turntable skills of former Transvision Vamp frontwoman Wendy James. Peaches has remixed Ladyhawke, for god’s sake, and we all know how Defamer Australia feels about New Zealand’s finest pop export (after the Finn brothers/Swoop). More »

10:57AM Jess McGuire | I am thoroughly confident I speak on behalf of all Australians when I say this country is absolutely batshit crazy about all things Pink. The very clever Guy Blackman recently wrote a piece in The Age discussing why folks from the land down under are just mad for Alecia Moore, and the town of Ballarat even renamed itself Pinkville the other week (which added to my increasingly long list of Reasons I Love The ‘Rat Wholeheartedly). It’s difficult to even begin imagining how devastated our nation would be if Pink were ever injured – or worse, killed! – whilst performing on our soil, and yet such a disaster very nearly happened during a show in Brisbane.
