Local hip-hop collective The Herd are putting out eight videos leading up to the release of ‘Future Shade’, with each clip featuring a different band member talking about a song on the album plus something about their life outside of The Herd.

Adelaide pop phenomenon, Sia Furler, has cleaned up at today’s ARIA Award nominations, winning one award and being nominated for a whopping six more! Also nominated for awards was Basement Birds, Perrey Keyes, Midnight Juggernauts, Jason Walker, Space Invadas and Urthboy.

Urthboy’s previously unreleased new mp3, “Your Thing”, is effortlessly groovy and features one of those hooks that just bounces around your brain like tiny particles of Flubber. If that wasn’t good enough, Urthboy’s asking for help making the video and will be touring throughout Sept/Oct!

Nominations for the fifth Annual Jagermeister Independent Music Awards (formally known as the Jagermeister AIR Awards) have officially been announced, and Inertia has proved its dominance – with nine of its artists nominated, and a whopping fourteen nominations in total.

Urthboy will be performing a special intimate show in Sydney on June 19 before departing on his first European tour. It’s going down at the tiny Sandringham Hotel in Newtown with special guests.
