Jonesez

Jonesez is Mark Stewart, formed in 2009 and is from Melbourne, Victoria. A note from Mark, Jonesez isn't really a band, even though it certainly sounds like one. It's best described as a solo project with a little help from some friends... Rhythm and melody. I've always loved writing pop songs, mostly not very good ones. When I was 10 my dad gave me his Rolling Stones vinyl collection because he'd just upgraded to CDs. Lucky me. Most of what I initially write is pop music, but by the time the songs are recorded there's way too much guitar noise on them, which debunks my genre theory.

Paris Wells

Watching Paris Wells in her support slot at Robyn's recent Melbourne show was a joy. While most artists in her position would use such a slot as an opportunity to air as much of their own music as possible, Wells seemed to understand that no one was particularly interested in a half-hour of previously unheard music from an unknown artist. Instead, she spent the better part of her set dropping party-starting covers of recent and classic R&B hits. By the time she got around to singing her debut single, Dat Du Dat, she had the crowd in the palm of her hand.

Neon Love

Neon Love originated from the dark depths of Ballarats sweet ass music community. Over the past two and a half years Neon Love have developed their repertoire of music through adapting different genres of music and various cliche'd teenage life experiences like girls, parties, no doze, cough meds, sneaking out late at night, holding hands, love and lust and all that lame stuff. They have trashed their equipment at various notable snobby private schools and copped a lot of sh*t from a certain w*nker named Toff (apparently a joy division fan, but cant take it when some one convulses on stage).
