A new song from the coolest woman on the planet. From her upcoming solo record with the same name. More songs to preview on Bandcamp: https://kimdeal.bandcamp.com/album/nobody-loves-you-more

I don't know where I am
And I don't care
I just stop at the sight of you
Standing there

I mean to tell you
Nobody loves you more
I mean to tell you
Nobody loves you more

Drunk Mums have been around for a while. I believe they started as a band in Brisbane, but like so many others, they have ended up based in Mebourne. I first stumbled onto them maybe 10 years ago. I took some overseas visitors out on a school night and we ended up at a rock venue called Cherry Bar, on AC/DC Lane. DMs were on one of their visits from Brisbane.

Purely by chance, today I cycled down the very street that they are seen riding the e-scooters in this video.

This band has a great sound. Admirers of stuff like Mazzy Star might find this up their alley.

Thanks to @phant for pointing me in the direction of this current Melbourne band after I posted a track from a 90’s near namesake Melbourne band.

Another Canberra formed band that seems to now be based in Melbourne.

  • This was from their first album. The video depicts life as a touring, indie band in Australia
  • They have a new album out in November. You can find some of the already released songs on their channel/streaming.
  • Not a name I would have chosen for my band!
