Arockalypse Now returns to the Westernport Hotel, San Remo with even more bands, beers and big bad riffs on Saturday August 3. 

Entries have opened for the annual UpStart Award, closing at midnight on August 31.

The UpStart Award is an annual grant for emerging Victorian singer-songwriters. Each year the winner of the award receives a grant of $10,000, with 2nd place receiving $3000 and 3rd place receiving $2000. The remaining 7 artists, who make up the top 10, will receive a grant of $1000. The award is funded by a music loving family in Melbourne and the winner will be decided by a panel of local artists and music experts.

This week’s PBS Feature Album is Megaflower, the third studio album from Brisbane/Meanjin rock group Full Flower Moon Band.

Produced by frontwoman Kate Dillon aka Babyshakes, Megaflower features the full five-piece, triple-guitar line-up that audiences have grown accustomed to over the last two years of must-see live shows. Presenting a new direction for the band, their latest release emphasises expansion and diversity rather than just intensifying their rock sound.
