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.
