Lecia Louise Q & A + Reviews Following Album Release

We were lucky enough to chat to Lecia as she blasted through Sydney on her Winter Warmer tour last week, she told us all about how she got her start in music, the new album Strike to Ignite and much more..

The Musician Decision
“When I was about 13 my older sister received an electric guitar for her 16th birthday. My step dad Alan taught us what he knew, which was about 4-5 songs. I ended up taking over her guitar. When Alan introduced me to music such as Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix I was hooked!
Early Influences
Jimmy Page and Jimi Hendrix were my ultimate influences in the early days. Then Chris Cheney from The Living End, Sarah McLeod from The Superjesus and eventually, Jeff Beck, John Mayer, Sheryl Crow, Ani DiFranco, The Allman Brothers and more. I was a pretty big Michael Jackson fan as a kid too.
Writing Process
Most of my music starts off from either a guitar riff or progression which might come about from some sort of free feeling often being in a new location or maybe learning a new song, or experiencing a huge new feeling.
First Record Bought
The first CD I bought was Powderfinger’s Double Allergic.
Current Inspirations
I have really been enjoying listening to Grace Potter, Emily Wolfe, Kathleen Halloran, Stefan Hauk, Blake Mills, Jackie Marshall and many more.
The Live Show Experience
Ultimately I love to play live with my band either as a trio or 4 piece. There is a lot of freedom to move, especially in the 3 piece when I have my main guys. I love to go on tangents with them and keep each other on our toes and see where we end up. All the shows I play are quite different but I love playing festivals with the band and bringing energy to the audience and interacting and trying to make everyone feel good including myself and bandmates. I feed off energy from the band members and love when I am playing with players who love to push it to the edge and reach some great dynamic ranges and head to some unexpected exciting places. Sometimes we deviate from the setlist and bring something fresh and unknown on the spot, and see where we end up.
Favourite Artists of All Time
Tough question. I love so many different styles of music, as a kid it was definitely Michael Jackson. I’m also a huge fan of LP, who is an alternative pop artist.
To Become a Successful Artist
I think there’s a lot more than one thing that I need to become a successful artist, but if I had to narrow it down to one, I think having a supportive close knit team that loves what I do almost as much as me and we all care about each other’s success. It’s important to me to have people I trust nearby that share truth and contribute and help for the music to get out there. The music may have been created by me, but it is external to me now. It’s a huge job for local grassroots independent original musicians to try and reach people who potentially will love their music. It takes a team! Oh yeah — and some money would definitely help too! 
Future Plans
The plan for 2026 and 2027 is to tour and play as much as possible and get the new album out there to people who will hopefully love it. I hope to collaborate with other artists on the road, while also playing with my own band. It would be pretty cool to do some live recordings of the album tracks, so I might come back to that after this year of touring and see if we can get some dollars to go into a studio or record a live gig.

I would really love to get overseas and play again. I have not done so since Covid, and have since been enjoying focussing on Australia. But I am getting excited about the idea of playing OS again.  
At some point I’ll start thinking about the next album, who I will record it with and where. I have some ideas on this, but for now I’m focussed on getting Strike to Ignite out there.”


NEW REVIEWS
“This collection of rock energy and roots finesse and seductive blues and soulful vibes and…well, everything great about that New World beat, is about as good a gathering together of American musical infusion as you could wish for.” – Dave Franklin
https://dancing-about-architecture.com/strike-to-ignite-lecia-louise-reviewed-by-dave-franklin/

“After such a long journey to completion, Strike To Ignite sounds like an album about refusing to be extinguished. Relationships fail, touring becomes exhausting and plans go wrong, but another song always seems to emerge from the wreckage. Lecia Louise does not merely sing about resilience; across these eleven songs, she turns it into fuel.” 
https://skopemag.com/2026/08/16/lecia-louise-new-album-strike-to-ignite

“There are artists who sing songs, and then there are artists who seem to inhabit every note they play. Lecia Louise belongs firmly in the second category.” – Samuel Fredrickson

In 1981 a teenage Martin Kennedy watched Steve Kilbey and The Church play at a strange hippie festival in Australia. They were outliers at this festival and he fell in love with their look and sound. He recorded their set on a walkman, and the songs helped spark the beginning of his music career. Just a year before, an equally fresh-faced Steve Kilbey formed The Church in Sydney, the very beginning of their public life as accidental hit makers.? 

Forty five years later Martin and Steve find themselves working together on their ninth (add a bunch of side projects to this epic side project and they’re about 20 albums in) studio album ‘Things We Did On Earth.’ 

It’s always so simple: Steve calls Martin: Hey we’re touring Tassie got a few spare days to record an album? Martin: Heck yes.? 

And that’s it. Martin writes the music and Steve rocks ups to write and sings the words. No argument, no egos, just a matter of pressing record. 

They live in their own bubble, lost in a reverie, heads in the clouds. Martin doesn’t listen to any new music but his own. Steve enters his dream state and writes like there’s no tomorrow. ‘Things We Did On Earth’ is the culmination of everything that has lead up to this moment. It tells of mortality, dreams, other worlds, whatever you damn like. It could be their last album, but then they’ve been saying that for the last fifteen years. 

Indeed these are the things Steve Kilbey and Martin Kennedy do on earth.

Bio

Kilbey Kennedy is the long-standing collaborative project between Steve Kilbey (The Church – “Forty some years into their existence, these Aussie psych legends are making some of the most vital music of their careers” – Brooklyn Vegan) and Martin Kennedy (All India Radio – “Like Pink Floyd & The Flaming Lips at their most ethereal” – The Needle Drop). 
 
Since their first release in 2009, the duo has forged a singular sound – an “ultimate convergence of influences, that shimmers with a strange beauty accentuated by its dark and haunting undercurrents.” – The Music 


 
Drawing on Kilbey’s evocative lyrics and Kennedy’s atmospheric production, Kilbey Kennedy moves through ambient, psychedelic, and experimental spaces, favouring mood and emotional resonance over fixed genre lines.
“Neo-prog epic” – Prog magazine 
“Completely envelopes you, drawing you deep into its cosmic womb” – allmusic 
“For those of us who never really expected Kilbey/Kennedy to be much more than a one-off side project, their continued collaboration is a gift to all fans and one that keeps on giving.” – Volt & Volume

Steve’s Blurb for the Album

The end of a century of wonders 
Each glorious life engulfed by the Reverie Foundation 
A million memories at once 
All available to loved ones  
And for sale to strangers  
As things fell apart my daughter Serafina hiding forever in an imaginary darkened house in the woods 
Exotic holidays in Beautiful Places 
An encounter with an eel 
The wheel and whirl of karma  
The shadows of our lives in these songs 
Mornings of despair and evenings of deceit 
And lovely spirit from the otherworld she shines on a fragile flame 
An argument  
A marvellous view over a seaside city  
The machines that came to life 
And the plants that were harvested for cogs and filaments 
All the love and loathing  
All the bustle  
And the stillness of a Dawn Lake 
Thus are the things we did on earth

Gareth Koch Releases Album ‘Flamenco Latino from Seville to Santiago’

Now close to clocking over 800K Streams already this album is one to watch, lively, upbeat and a pure aural pleasure it is no wonder these tunes from Gareth are striking a chord with listeners worldwide

Flamenco Latino showcases Gareth Koch as a brilliant flamenco guitarist at the height of his creative, technical and expressive powers. This full-length album is brimming with flamenco passion and astonishing technical mastery. The interpretations range from blindingly fast and rhythmic solos to soulful interpretations capturing the very essence of flamenco. The music reflects the sound of the Gypsies, the passion of flamenco, and the irresistible rhythms of Andalucia.

Also Available on CD in selected stores and Mail Order Here

Gareth first encountered the flamenco guitar as a young teen in Spain, where he received lessons with local flamenco guitarists. He went on to study classical guitar in Vienna and Spain, but retained a lifelong relationship to Spain and flamenco music. His album Flamenco Latino is the manifestation of this connection, presented here as a dedicated flamenco album.

Gareth Koch is an ARIA Award winning multi-instrumentalist, recording artist, guitar soloist, composer & songwriter. He has recorded an extensive catalogue across multiple genres for classical guitar, flamenco, original compositions, arrangements, medieval projects, ambient music, rock & song writing. He has appeared at major festivals within Australia, Europe, Asia and North America.

Gareth was born in Milan Italy into an artistic family. His father is the Australian novelist Christopher Koch, and his Lithuanian-born mother Irene is a piano graduate of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. His early musical education began with piano and clarinet before entering the gifted youth music programme at the Mozarteum in Salzburg Austria. When his family moved to Spain Gareth fell under the spell of the guitar.

After graduation from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music Gareth won scholarships to the Royal Conservatorium of Madrid and the Academy of Music in Vienna under Professor Konrad Ragossnig. From this point his career developed to include music teaching, recording, publishing and performing. His recent classical album ‘The Guitar Player’ received a coveted 5 Star review from the Sydney Morning Herald.

Gareth’s current projects have a world music and contemporary bias with classical overtones. His writing is increasingly focussed on the ethereal nature of music. Recent collaborations include ARIA Hall of Fame inductee Steve Kilbey (The Church) with whom he has released three albums.

Tim Walker Releases Album ‘No Strings Attached’

Former Sydneysider Tim Walker’s songs are a folk-pop mix of reflective electric-acoustic music veering at times into pure indie rock territory.

The mood spans introspective thoughts on our dire environmental crisis (Copperhead, Every Story Tells a Picture) to the joyous celebration of love and pure fun (Love is for The Young (at Heart), Christine), then doubles back into angst (The Loving Arms) and aspiration (Star). One of the songs, featuring Tim on keyboards, is Streets of Rome, which was set in that city and features on his last major album release, Bridge of Angels – an actual tourist location. The album was released just as the pandemic hit our shores.

The most recent single is Pilot, which observes the explosion in travel of all types in the wake of the covid 19 crisis, as people try to shrug off the trauma of the confines and restrictions of the lockdowns. The songs are both light and dark and the collection concludes with a purely instrumental piece – a lighthearted jig, The Bolshie Swing. Tim performs regularly in Adelaide and Sydney.

Screen Shot 2024-08-13 at 11.29.41 am

Tim Walker is a singer-songwriter now based in Adelaide (ex-Sydney). His indie electric-folk/pop style reflects a city perspective, but with country, rock and jazz influences and universal themes. He began as a folkie at school, and continues its idea of personal stories, using electric rock guitars thrown in. As a tertiary student in Adelaide he was in a small country rock act doing mainly covers. Now as a soloist he is at his most prolific.

He moved to Sydney for work and continued playing after hours in many venues across town before releasing his first album, Fellow Traveller, with Foghorn Records in 2008. He followed this with a series of singles, then returned to Adelaide in 2018.  He released the album Bridge of Angels in 2019, again through Foghorn Records.

He has played at several major music festivals including Peat’s Ridge and the Sydney Blues and Roots Festival Windsor (NSW), and the Port Noarlunga Blues Festival (SA).

Jack Nolan Releases Album ‘The Lonely Petunia’

JACK NOLAN
 Will be Ross M Fear’s featured artist on
Alive 90.5 fm Australian Spectrum Show
9pm Tuesday 28 October 2025
featuring his latest album “The Lonely Petunia”.

“Jack Nolan’s music features mysterious and shimmering chords that unite his sound with that of the Americana genre, once quaintly described as ‘Darlinghurst Country’, uniting elements of folk, country, rock ‘n’ roll and ambient atmospheres” – Ross M Fear

“Nolan’s strength lies in his ability to craft songs that are both intimate and universal, music that asks the listener to feel, to consider, and to linger in the quiet aftermath” – Audrey Songvilay
https://amnplify.com.au/portfolio-items/jack-nolan-the-lonely-petunia-album-review-17th-october-2025/?portfolioCats=12711

“This is an album of quiet contemplation, introspection, supple, subtle, full of air and light as Nolan ponders the interstices of life, love and loss, as well as odd moments of doubt and even repentance, as he ponders “the Other”, who should be there… but isn’t” – Michael George Smith

Jack Nolan’s eighth solo album, The Lonely Petunia, sees him return to the childhood spark that ignited his musical journey. Recorded in Nashville and co-produced with long-time comrade Justin Weaver, this intimate acoustic collection showcases Nolan’s signature lyrical depth.

Though primarily acoustic, subtle piano and string arrangements on select tracks weave through his evocative storytelling, creating an ethereal yet tender sound. Despite American influences, the album’s heart remains firmly rooted in Nolan’s Australian upbringing—from Bondi’s beaches to the vibrant rhythms of Sydney Harbour. The Lonely Petunia is a solitary yet tender reflection, honouring music’s profound possibilities.

Jack Nolan was thinking, of that first moment, when songwriting suddenly felt possible, when the penny dropped. “In my mid-teens, sitting alone on my bed, acoustic guitar in hand, trying to get it all happening, when I realised – these greats I love, Dylan, Bowie, Pink Floyd et al are playing all the same chords I’m playing” he says nostalgically “I could do this too – It was one of those split seconds that can alter your life,  floored by the possibilities, the potential of music.”

On Nolan’s new album, The Lonely Petunia, he went to find that boy again, to honour that moment, that subliminal decision with his acoustic guitar.

This intimate acoustic journey showcases the artist’s signature lyrical depth. Lush strings and piano add depth and character to Jack’s trademark storytelling. The album was produced by Justin Weaver, an American musician and producer celebrated for his collaborations with, amongst others, Wynona Judd and The Chicks. Nolan describes Weaver as a musical comrade, highlighting the great working partnership that spans over five albums.

Based in Sydney, Jack has been performing and releasing music and albums since the mid-1990s. In addition to an eight-album solo catalogue, Jack also fronted the Kelly Gang, alongside Rick Grossman, bassist for the Divinyls and Hoodoo Gurus, and Midnight Oil drummer Rob Hirst and guitarist Martin Rotsey. Their 2004 album, “Looking for the Sun,” remains a hidden gem, featuring an incredible lineup of musicians that delivered passionate and energetic live performances of the time.

The Stomp’n Ramblers Release Album ‘Kick’n Stones’

This album began to take shape in the wake of the pandemic. At the time, Ryan and Owen were playing in a band called The Blind Pilots. They shared song ideas via app texts whilst Ryan was living up near Brunswick Heads and Owen on the Northern Beaches.

They  road-tested material at local breweries and bars where the response from audiences was overwhelmingly positive. Encouraged by the feedback, a new project was born and  the boys began demoing more seriously with the goal of creating a full album of songs that have shaped who they are.

Out of 20 tracks they narrowed it down to 11. They recorded the core of the album at Damien Gerard Studios, with some additional parts tracked at The Factory Studio in Mona Vale. The final mixes were handled by Russell Pilling, bringing the project to life.

This album is a product of reconnection, reinvention, and the enjoyment of exploring the blues.

The Stomp’n Ramblers is Owen Mancell on slide guitar/stomp box/vocals and Ryan Stone on harmonica. With a sound steeped in the raw spirit of Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee, they draw influences from The Backsliders, RL Burnside and Muddy Waters to deliver an eclectic blend of vintage blues with contemporary storytelling.

Owen’s soulful voice brings a deep emotional edge to their music, carrying the weight and warmth of old-school blues with every note. Paired with Ryan’s electrifying harmonica work, the duo channels a sound that feels timeless and unique.

As seasoned performers on the live circuit, The Stomp’n Ramblers have shared stages with acclaimed acts like Sons of the East, 19 Twenty, and Nathan Cavaleri.

Daxton Releases Album ‘Serpent Of The Road’

The creation of the album Serpent of the Road was a musical journey for Daxton.  The songs developed organically starting with simple melody or riff and then expanding to include sometimes complex arrangements. Weaving his influences from artists like Prince, Jimi Hendrix, and David Bowie, Daxton songs explore themes of wanderlust, self-discovery, and the transient nature of life. The songs capture a particular time and feeling, all wrapped in a heavy psychedelic blues and grungy sound.

dax w dobro

Producing and playing music since his early teens, Daxton’s passion has kept him continually creating new material both for his band and solo career. On stage, Daxton comes across like he was born to play, his unique guitar style blending perfectly with heart-warming vocals.

Daxton has appeared at major festivals including the Sydney Blues and Roots and Tamworth Country Music Festival where he supported artists such as Kasey Chambers and Beccy Cole. He also has had one of his tracks ‘Moody Liz’ featured in the popular American TV series Doll House. His guitar playing highlights the influence of legends like Hendrix, Prince, and Zeppelin vibrantly displayed through his concoction of rhythmic blues, funk, and psychedelic rock, layered with amazing melodies.

Throwing Shapes Releases Album ‘Night Of The Soul’

The new album is a fast-paced melodic journey of light and dark with dark moody melodies and soul searching themes.  Exploring feelings of ‘Reaching’ for the stars, while feeling trapped in the ‘Eye Of The Storm’ in a personal ‘Night Of The Soul’.  The album also features lighter more positive and entertaining subject matters, mixed with expressions of cathartic life experiences.

‘I am now on the other side of that dark tunnel and finding myself in new and unexpected territory. In a new stage of life, which is something that I’m still getting used to and still figuring out as I go. The ‘Night Of The Soul’ album is the story of that journey.’ – Fox
