Right now at Bobbysix.com, we're frantically interviewing lots of acts that are set to play at next year's St Jerome's Laneway Festival. Expect to see the fruits of our chats cropping up all over the site like a rash (but a nice one) over the next few weeks.
Of course, the impending Laneway also means SIDESHOWS! Whoop whoop! Today, a bunch of them were announced, so pay attention as we slap you round the chops with a whole lotta exciting tour news.
ANNA CALVI
Hot damn, this chick (above) is on fire at the moment. The half-Italian, half-British artist’s dramatic vocals and darkly cinematic instrumentation have won countless plaudits, including a Mercury Music Prize nomination and praise from no less than Brian Eno, who calls her, ‘the best thing since Patti Smith’.
