Watch: Pokey LaFarge Studio 5 Live

Thu 8 May 2025
Studio 5 Live

Beloved fan favourite, riverboat chic rock-n-roller Pokey LaFarge and his band are back in Australia this May, serving up flavours of mambo, Tropicália, rocksteady, and mid-century American rock-and-roll across the country. 

It’s been six years since the Illinois-born singer songwriter embraced the southern shores of Australia, when Pokey LaFarge toured the country in 2019 with a then unknown, Sierra Ferrell. 

Wilson Tanner - Legends

Mon 5 May 2025 to Sun 11 May 2025
Feature Sounds

This week's PBS Feature Album is Legends, the third album from experimental duo Wilson Tanner.

Legends is a wine-soaked agricultural fantasy, made among the grapevines at Manon Farm in South Australia. Where the duo’s earlier works settled into the sun-struck torpor of a suburban Perth backyard (69) or drifted off-course on a riverboat on Port Phillip Bay (ii), Legends trades salt air for vineyard sweat, the scrape of boots on dry earth and workers’ radios humming with the summer test cricket season.

Grinding Eyes - Out Of Focus

Mon 28 Apr 2025 to Sun 4 May 2025
Feature Sounds

This week's PBS Feature Album is Out Of Focus, the new expansive psych-rock album from Grinding Eyes.

Forming in 2016 and named after a 1960s Spanish B-grade horror film, Grinding Eyes have always played the long game, carefully constructing sonically dense and dynamically expansive albums. Out Of Focus is a thundering ride through waves of droning guitars, lush melodic hooks and driving kraut inspired repetition.
