To do battle against boring live shows, Wollongong recruited seven loose units with attitude and gave birth to The Pinheads. It's only been a short period of time, but the gang have already traversed the east coast and gotten wild with a slew of great bands, from Totally Unicorn to Hockey Dad. Five of them huddled into a back table at Wollongong's Little Prince and explained how surf movies, metal moshpits and shitty sound-guys have made them who they are today.

The Pinheads' single "Wildfire" is out now.

Across over ten years of going to shows, I've met countless fascinating people that are joined together by the fact I love their music. This is a medium in which I look to find out the bigger picture, the extended story and the journey that brought them to where they are. No genre or topic is off limits. I'm David James Young - and all my friends are in bar bands.

Episode 72: My Friends The Pinheads

Just wanted to say goodbye properly. I can't do this anymore. I tried and I failed. I couldn't finish this story. Sorry if you were waiting on me to do so. I was too. I gave podcasting a go for nearly 10 years but I'm done. Thanks if you listened.

Episode 186: The Final Episode

Almost 20 years ago, Luke Steele emerged as one of the great modern eccentrics of Australian music. An ebullient personality (one was a spider, one was a bird), he started the decade as a scrappy underdog and ended it as one of the biggest pop stars in the world. Who else could get to that kind of A to B, from Jebediah to Jay-Z? With a new solo album looming, Luke spoke openly about his one-of-a-kind journey that took him from blues bars in Perth to the Hollywood Bowl and back again.

Luke's debut solo album Listen to the Water is out May 13.

With thanks to Mariam Dib and EMI Music Australia.

Recorded by David James Young and Luke James Steele.
Produced and edited by Paul McWhirter.
Additional editing by David James Young.

Episode 185: My Friend Luke Steele

Few could have predicted that the scrawny Jewish kid with the guitar in Sydney's eastern suburbs would go on to conquer the world. Hell, even fewer could have predicted his second-ever gig would be opening for Sonic Youth. Still, that's just how Ben Lee's career has unfolded - just when you think you have all the answers, he changes the questions. An ARIA winner, a two-time Hottest 100 runner-up and a keen collaborator with everyone from Josh Radnor to Joel Madden, Lee's life can't be summed up with a mere hour of conversation. Still, it's worth a shot.

With thanks to Ben Lee, Caitlin Harnett and Wollongong UniBar.
