It’s that time of the month again when Purple Sneakers and Remote Control jump into bed for another Party Extravaganza! This time we are teaming up to help FBI raise some much needed funds.

I am sure you have all heard about the problems FBI 94.5 are facing at the moment. FBI is Australia’s largest community broadcaster and because of this they have the highest running costs of any community broadcaster. They need $1,000,000 to continue working and thankfully tonnes of people have gotten behind them to raise the much needed funds.

All of us here at Purple Sneakers and Remote Control understand the importance of keeping the station running so we have decided to run a fundraising event of our own. So on Friday 19th June we are putting on a huge event starting with live performances by PAPA vs PRETTY and DEEP SEA ARCADE. Then later in the evening we have DJ sets form WOLF & CUB, FBI DJs and the PURPLE SNEAKERS DJs

We are stoked to be launching the hot new album from Wolf & Cub – ‘Science & Sorcery’ - the night will also host Wolf & Cub’s official after party. Check the website – www.boundarysounds.com to be in the running to win a signed copy of the new album!

Don’t Forget Purple Sneakers Happy hour is from 7pm – 9pm every Friday! $10 Jugs of Coopers Lager and $3 glasses of Champagne.

Before hitting the afterparty check out Wolf & Cub performing live at the Oxford Arts Factory Friday 19th June

Wolf & Cub - Science & Sorcery in stores NOW


Wolf & Cub’s new album ‘Science & Sorcery’ is in stores NOW.
Fresh from national tours with TV On The Radio, Primal Scream and the recent V Festival, the band’s follow up to debut album Vessels features radio favourites One To The Other and Seven Sevens.

Produced by Chris Colonna (Bumblebeez) Science and Sorcery was recorded in Colonna’s studio in his hometown of Braidwood in the Southern tablelands of NSW. At what seemed like an unlikely fit at first with Chris’ hip hop cut & paste production style, there was some concern that this collaboration could go tragically wrong which would result in the band emerging as a 80’s derived synth pop outfit.

What originally scared the band has actually inspired them, taking them right out of their comfort zone, giving them the creative challenge they had been yearning for after spending so many months on the road.

The result is a musical departure that will surprise and thrill you.

Wolf & Cub - the new album Science & Sorcery out April 18!


On the 18th of April Wolf & Cub will release their second album Science and Sorcery.

It’s more than two years since Wolf & Cub broke cover with their debut album Vessels. Those two years seemed to take on a momentum of their own. The album was released around the globe and the band found themselves playing in Japan, Europe, the UK and the USA and touring Australia with TV On The Radio, The Killers, Queens of the Stone Age, Wolfmother and Primal Scream.

At some point the brakes had to be applied, battered road cases stored away and thoughts focused on future sounds. Given the restlessness at the core of Wolf & Cub’s creativity there was never any chance things would be done the same way a second time. New influences, new gear, new ideas necessitate a new approach.

Produced by Chris Colonna (Bumblebeez) Science and Sorcery was recorded in Colonna’s studio in his hometown of Braidwood in the Southern tablelands of NSW. At what seemed like an unlikely fit at first with Chris’ hip hop cut & paste production style, there was some concern that this collaboration could go tragically wrong which would result in the band emerging as a 80’s derived synth pop outfit.

What scared the band now inspired them, taking them right out of comfort zones and creatively giving them the challenge they had been yearning for after spending so many months on the road.

Existing demos were built on, disassembled, reconstructed, sidelined, rediscovered and reassembled. New material was built from the ground up. During the early stages nothing was considered stable, everything had the possibility to change, evolve, disappear and be reborn. Through this process the body of work that constitutes Science & Sorcery eventually took form.

Joel captures the whole experience when he says; “We never attempted to alter the outcome, ‘our sound’ or the songs that make up the album, but there was a conscience effort to change the procedure that created the outcome. I’ll leave it up to others to decide if the sound has gone anywhere else, because I don’t know where it was before. It’s still Wolf & Cub, just another piece of the puzzle.”

Wolf & Cub - Seven Sevens (Brother From Another Mother Remix)

Finally, over the weekend the planets aligned and the sacred codes were passed down and the new Wolf & Cub album was totally finished. It’s called Science & Sorcery, (although some of us here keep thinking it’s called Sword & Sorcery, but we will get it right by the time its out mid-April). Seven Sevens is on the album but the band just slipped us a remix that cranks up the darkly danceable side of their sound, so we thought you might like to take a listen.

Wolf & Cub - Seven Sevens


So many things happen in 49 days…

Wolf & Cub return with Seven Sevens - the new single from their forthcoming album, which will be released in February 2009.

Recorded with Bumblebeez genius Chris Colonna in his hometown of Braidwood, the song is awash with the psyched out vocals and intergalactic guitar of front man Joel Byrne, combined with the driving bass playing of Thomas Mayhew and the highly combustible percussion courtesy of Joel Carey and newcomer Marvin Hammond.

Taking the raw elements of the early demos and coupling them with the studio wizardry of Colonna, Wolf & Cub have created a memorable cocktail, one part lysergic… one part darkly danceable.

Between now and the release of the new album Wolf & Cub will be performing at the Falls and Southbound Festivals and will support New Yorkers TV On The Radio on their Australian side shows in January.
