For anyone having a shitty day... Meet Ross Capicchioni

Just thought we'd share this little two part documentary we found whilst spending some solid perusal time on the internet... It's a story about Ross Capicchioni, your average American 17 year old who one day was shot by a close friend and practically left dead on the sidewalk. He lived to tell his amazing tale, though it's clips like these that make us realise how lucky we are to be Australian and also how lucky we are to live the lives we all lead. The film was made by the The Berrics, an American skate park owned by pro skaters Steve Berra (Ber) and Eric Koston (ric).

Can't stop tapping to Clubfeet...

So we arrived at the station this morning and this... pictured above... was in our fricken pidgin hole! Blown away at how amazingly cool the artwork and spiffy white 7" vinyl record sitting smack bang in the front of our faces was, we just had to play it, and boy, are these guys the new black! Not only do they ooze the word dapper with their artwork, their music adds to this vibe to complete the package. Often its really fucken disappointing when something arrives this cool and sounds hyper shit house, though in this case it's definitely all thumbs up! So give these guys a spin Clubfeet, a collective of fellows out of Melbourne town! 'City of Light' and 'This time' are their recent masterpieces, consisting of heavily compressed disco kicks, synthetic sparkles and catchy pop lyrics, you'll be rehearsing these tunes in the shower... regularly! Enjoy, and check their facey page for regular updates on their whereabouts!

Proud to introduce... The Acfields

Over the past ten years the careers of two highly talented musical siblings have moved uncannily parallel to one another. Shortly after finishing high school the pair both moved from their hometown of Rockhampton to the big smoke we like to call BrisVegas to further pursue musical education and endure the long, arduous and lonely road of becoming struggling musicians. This road Inevitably launched the pair's separate solo music careers, cumulating in a total of 5 epic EPs! Hit fast forward to today, the pair consisting of Dan & Hannah Acfield, now side by side, have a new single, and a sound that is one to be recognised! (seriously we're gonna flog the shit out their song "after you"!) Playing at Dowse Bar in Paddington on the 22nd of this month, we reckon these two kids definitely have the goods! Listen out for their single "After You" on next weeks show or anytime NOW on 4ZZZ, as it truly ROCKS our JOCKS, soooo, it's gonna ROCK YOURS! http://www.facebook.com/danandhannahacfield
