FIVE FROM SEVENS AND TWELVES
Our hosts, Dave and Mark, are two music obsessives who first met in 2008 at the community radio station RTRFM 92.1 in Perth, Western Australia. Bonding over a love of post punk and other alternative music genres, they soon began making music together and are still heavily involved in the city's fertile local music scene. They also like nothing more than a yarn about music, and their favourite (or not so favourite) bands. These conversations are often amusing, sometimes serious and occasionally, potentially libellous. Thus, the idea for this podcast was born. Each episode the lads choose a theme and each select five songs to explore the topic. The show is free flowing and so the facts are sometimes hazy and the chat can go in any direction. This is not your typical music show.
FIVE FROM SEVENS AND TWELVES
Alternative Music Documentaries
Given his somewhat unhealthy obsession with music documentaries, Mark takes the lead on this episode. Focussing on five lesser known documentaries, covering the stories of some really interesting bands. From the challenges of touring in a small van, for weeks on end, to dealing with profound loss. All these films have something in common, they are all: fascinating, entertaining and heartbreaking . The thread that links them all is they are all artists with an uncompromising attitude, the drive to create and a desire to connect with people in their own unique way.
Links to all the documentaries discussed are included below.
