We’re sure you’ll be hearing more about Melbourne band Husky a lot in the coming months and years, and it was my good luck that I was able to chat with frontman Husky Gawenda and keyboardist Gideon Preiss. We did the interview in the lobby of the Jubilee Library right off Jubilee Square, just steps from where the band had performed as part of the Sounds of Australia afternoon showcase on Thursday 10 May. Many thanks to the library for letting us film this!

Mercury Prize-winning band the xx played a series of very low key (not to mention very small and hard to get into) gigs this past week in London. Watch it below.
If you recall, around New Year’s they revealed a rough recording of ‘Open Eyes’; listen to it in this previous In the Post.

The Hives are back and have a new music video for ‘Go Right Ahead’, off their new album ‘Lex Hives’, out on the 4th of June. This video includes live footage from the recording of the album, recorded in Benny Andersson of ABBA’s new studio in Stockholm. The song is a belter, and I think you’re gonna like it.
