It’s a calm spring evening here in Upwey with rain gently pitter pattering on the roof of the 3MDR Forest Park Homestead studio set amongst the low mountain range of the Dandenong Ranges - a branch of Australia’s beloved and vast Great Dividing Range. Amongst this landscape we will take in a collection of mostly Melbourne-based, old and new indie, pop, lo-fi and folky musical goodness, as well as a few sojourns to connect with our Kiwi and American indie buddies.
