Part 1: Join Tony and Shippa as they chat to Mollie and Matt, and discover how the merging of Grunge and Shoegaze created Grazer, the band. Their musical journey takes us from Uki to the UK to Melbourne, and along the way we are educated in the meaning of Shoegaze, Post-Punk and whether Algebra is ever looked at again after leaving school. Take the Dream-Pop dive (or should that be DIIV?) into Grazer’s world and embrace the music from this talented duo.

Part 2: Tony and Shippa discuss new and old tracks from current Indie Artists, former Indie Artists and a classic or two. On this podcast, we introduce Shane Papatolicas (Melbourne), Misha Bear (Melbourne - Canada), Goon Sax (Brisbane), Evol Walks (Oz - LA, USA), Red Dirt Radio (Melbourne via Wellington), Sour Sob/Swapmeet (Adelaide), Family Fold (Sydney), Joan & The Giants (WA) and Christopher Coleman & The Great Escape (Tasmania), with Shippa’s Surprise coming all the way from France!

Freeform radio...Fun and games had by all....it's an unusual collection of musical allsorts and chat to change your mind
