’90s Bands Rule at Stones Corner Festival

The organisers of the Stones Corner Festival has assembled a killer line-up featuring plenty of your ‘90s faves for its fifth year, with Custard, The Mavis’s, Screamfeeder, and Diana Anaid all set to rock the Brisbane suburb this May. They’ll be joined by Shag Rock, Eliza & The Delusionas, The Brains Trust, and heaps more.

Local craft breweries, wineries, and food trucks will also be on hand to keep the punters happy.

Best of all, entry will only cost you a gold coin donation to MND Australia. Your contribution will help fund Motor Neurone Disease research and prevention strategies. It all happens from 10 am on Sunday May 6 at outside Stones Corner Hotel.

Custard Back With New Song, Album, And Tour

Custard left fans waiting 16 years for the release of Come Back All is Forgiven. Thankfully they’re not leaving them hanging so long for the follow-up. If the lead single “In the Grand Scheme of Things (None of This Really Matters)” is any indication, The Common Touch was no rush job either.

It’s such a quality song, with an infectious melody and relatable lyrics. And that horn section, sublime.

“’Come Back All Is Forgiven’ was the sound of us playing together in a small room, minimal overdubs,” frontman Dave McCormack explained. “The new album has cello, pedal steel, piano and a variety of backing singers. Some of the tunes were cut up and stitched back together in ways I never thought possible.”

The Common Touch will be released through ABC Music on October 6. Custard will play shows along the East Coast to support its release.
