Rosie and the Posies - From 1991 to 2026!

 Rosie and the Posies are a new Adelaide band playing regularly in the scene and they came to my attention performing alongside other prominent Adelaide bands and have also released two debut songs 'Love in Autumn' and 'Feline Supreme'. I caught up with the band recently to see where they're currently at! 


Firstly, I really like the singles you’ve released ‘Feline Supreme’ and ‘Love in Autumn’, 
they remind me of music that came from the Sub Pop Label, 
namely the label that had bands like Nirvana, Sleater-Kinney and TAD. 
When you started writing was your intention to move into that grunge-rock genre?

Simply put, it's just the genre that works best for all of us. 
Not only do we like grungey music, but it's also the most fun for us to play on stage. 
I've written a lot of softer song, jazzier songs, and stuff with that kind of vibe.
The punky grungy sound is what we love to play and make the most. 
Usually we just play around and discover some chords or a riff that we like
then just scrap on some stupid lyrical nonsense. And it works!

Looking forward, what are your recording plans?

Keep an eye out for an EP that could be potentially out somewhat soon (maybe actually pretty far away)  

If you could open for any artist on the planet, who would that be?

Any punky/grunge-y artist we are inspired by truly: Amyl and the Sniffers, Lash, Bikini Kill or Le Tigre, Spiderbait, we basically love our gals rock. 

Where do you see the band in say 10 years from now? 
A lofty question but it gives a glimpse into the band’s minds-eye

Well I'm not even sure but we definitely wouldn't have dropped our day jobs. Just keeping up the hype for fun and to give ammunition our musician daydreams. 

Tell us about your individual inspirations, what artists shape you all as musicians and songwriters.. 

Rosie (bass): I like music. (Ed : Rosie, that is the best answer since starting this music blog!) - I like music, too : ) 

Nat (lead vocals/guitar): Songwriting and music is my whole life it's what I study and it's my free time and it's job too (I teach guitar). So really it's just a way to be myself. I'm inspired by every musician and everyone around me in my life. And I guess like, Led Zeppelin or something. (Ed : Impressed!) 

Sylvie (lead guitar): For our music I’m really inspired by 90s alt rock artists like Hole, Elastica, The Breeders, Veruca Salt, PJ Harvey, Lush, Regurgitator, Liz Phair, Garbage and L7!
(Ed: Sylvie, your influences are truly cool, I'm gonna make you jelly and let you know I met Elastica) 

Nadia (drums): As a kid my grandparents and i would watch videos of The Carpenters and I've always felt very inspired by Karen Carpenter as a girl drummer!!
(Ed : Nadia, Karen C was the coolest, slickest drummer to ever live - & sing whilst playing!)

Legendary Adelaide band 'The Jaynes' resurface for a massive show at the Gov!

Image
Adelaide's 'The Jaynes' are back! A band that in the 90's were a force to be reckoned with, signing to Mushroom Records and playing the 1993, Big Day Out. Whilst walking down Rundle Street this week I bumped into Matt from the Jaynes and wanted to briefly delve into their humble beginnings and what to expect this Friday night at The Gov where the Jaynes will perform alongside the Violets and Batteries Not Included - Bands that paved the way for what was about to explode in the SA music scene!  1. The Jaynes have been an important part of Adelaide’s musical history - tell us about your beginnings . We met at high school as a pretty basic punky/pop outfit called 3 Minute Smile. We played dances, parties, hall gigs and the like as sixteen year olds and then cut a demo at an audio school which got us airplay on SAFMs Local and/or General. The producers of this legendary Adelaide radio show Bill Page (who would later sign us to Mushroom Records with Michael Gudinski) and Bil...

Jazzed up and rock 'n roll with Lily Appelt

Image
  Lily Appelt is fast becoming one of Australia's much sought after musicians performing with a vast array of artists and adjusting to their style of music with precision and professionalism. I've had the honor of seeing Lily perform Jazz and also Indie-Rock and she always puts on mind bending performances that you have to witness for yourself. After really enjoying Lily's solo release(Check it out it's absolutely stunning) I recently caught up with her between Adelaide and Melbourne and was keen to delve into the psyche of this Adelaide mega-artist. Lily, your songs you’ve got up on on-line are just sublime. Melodic layering and it’s just perfect folk, especially with ‘Now I’m here’, lyrically you are very wordy – Where does this come from and what influences you to write your endearing folky, pop tunes? My main influences have always been my friends and family! I was encouraged to take my songwriting more seriously by my dear friend Jack Wilsmore in 2024; he has alway...

Nice 'Dreem' to have more records on the way!

Image
Bad Dreems are an Adelaide band I've always admired and to top it off they're also really great people. I've had the honour of knowing 'em for a few years and even playing football and cricket with 'em! Bad Dreems just play exciting indie-guitar rock and they've stuck to their guns! Not gone down a major mainstream route to just please radio or taste-makers - These industry types go to them! I was hanging outside the Farmers Union Ice Coffee factory the other day putting in my application for the National Pharmacies Xmas Pageant and ran into my ol mate Alex from Bad Dreems! Bowled some questions at him! Enjoy!  1.        When you first started Bad Dreems did you ever expect to release five albums? Was that the intention from the beginning? If it was, what wisdom would you impart on to a young band that is having big ‘dreems’ of emulating the same type of creative surges! We had few expectations when the band started, aside from making music together an...
