Nearly 40 years ago a rag-tag bunch of folkies got together and formed a band called Things of Stone and Wood that went on to define Melbourne in the early 90s. Off the back of their top 10 single 'Happy Birthday Helen', the band achieved national success, ARIA and APRA awards, international tours, a gold album 'The Yearning' and even a Late Show parody, kicking off a career that would make them one of Australia's most loved and enduring acoustic bands.
Fast forward to 2026 and the band are still around, doing what they do best: playing passionate and energetic live shows, and recording and releasing new music. November sees the band touring their second album for the year, the 70's retro inspired The Final Forest.
The Final Forest is the twin album to their March 2026 Album Rae Street, which debuted at #10 on the ARIA Australian Album chart). It's a classic, band-in-the-studio approach (rather than bedroom folk) with all the authenticity and TOSAW vibes, built upon the simple foundation of a piano trio playing live. Era appropriate close harmonies feature heavily, reminding us that they began their life as a band drinking beers and singing in a share house. It is charming, a little rough, and almost impossible not to feel the love.

Five time ARIA Award winning artist Katie Noonan will release her 30th studio album in 2026: Alone but All One.
The album is an intimate and poignant exploration of love in all its stages and features Katie's first songwriting collaboration with acclaimed writer Trent Dalton. The album is a powerful and delicate offering with Katie's piano and a string quartet the only accompaniment for her exquisite vocal performance.
This album is for anyone who's gone through a life shift-not just separation, but grief, uncertainty, or quiet reinvention.
Alone but All One is a quiet turning inward-a return to something essential. Musically it is very stripped back-just Katie, her piano and a string quartet, recorded live in her lounge room on Gubbi Gubbi Country in the hills behind Nambour, Queensland.

The music of the artist, composer, producer, founding member of Noiseworks, Electric Hippies, and frontman for 1980s new wavers' Mi-Sex — Steve Balbi — mines a kaleidoscope of life at the margins.
Balbi's back for three exclusive shows this November — in Melbourne, Adelaide, and Avoca Beach — with an eclectic three-piece ft. Casper Tromp (Christine Anu, Ngaiire, Petula Clark) on keys 'n' synth and Tully Ryan (Godtet, Hekka, Ngaiire) on drums 'n' percussion.

Balbi is back to celebrate the launch of his fifth solo studio album - Leave Enough.
Authentic. Empathetic. Humble. Sincere. It's a record that's inherently sentient, in subject and tone, for you feel the human element. So intuitive, so tactile, so visceral is Balbi's new record that you can almost touch it.
Philosophers have grappled with the notion of authenticity for thousands of years, yet Balbi has found authenticity in an ensemble of songs that appear on his forthcoming record.
