I am relishing all of this grey, stormy weather. You can keep your hot, humid summer days; they’re just not for me. What is though is “Go Away,” the sun-drenched debut single from Perth act Monicans.
Listening to it feels a little odd during such drab weather, but there’s something so irresistible about its big surf-rock chords. Has it put you in the mood for sun and surf?
Celebrate summer with the brassy sounds of acclaimed Spanish surf rock band Los Coronas.
Formed in Madrid in 1991, this exciting band blends traditional Spanish melodies with retro Californian surf music. Their distinctive sound is showcased on their incredible 2010 release “Big Wave Riders.”
It’s taken Los Coronas more than two decades to reach Australia, and they’re not wasting their time on our shores. They’ll play the following sets at some of Australia’s best summer festivals as well as headlining shows around the country.
