"Tailor Birds Releases Single ‘Bluebird’"

Bluebird, is a gorgeous step forward into the Tailor Birds world – a chance to dream, a chance to wander through the mist, to float through a world of light and dark, as we then wake up from our dreams to the beautiful real life crisp birdsong. Richer, dreamier, perhaps even darker and more vibrant than her last recordings, Bluebird is as wild as the place it was recorded in – a converted henhouse in Ireland, a former home of goats & chickens.

This song is the first single of 9 beauties releasing monthly through the year before 2027 sees the release of the stunning 3 part album.

This song features Tailor Birds’ creator, Sophie’s stunning vocals and her trademark live looped electric 5 string dreamy violin at the core of the sound, and features some stunning guests including Vinod Prasanna and Paya Lehane on flutes, Benjamin Smith on guitars, our long standing drummer, Daniel Brates on percussion, plus a guest vox shimmery moment from Terence who built the henhouse, and who also, alongside his wife opened his home for Sophie to record this album in. Bluebird also features plant music biosonification from the various studio sounds converted into electrical currents, including the steps of the ladder that was hanging out in the studio, some aloe vera, and a paper birch tree. Plus there’s the stunning foley art in the form of bird song, dog sounds, handwriting glimmers, and some smashed glass too. Recorded in the converted hen house studio, the song was then sent to our beautiful guest musicians across the globe, before the song was then threaded together

Dream folk musical wonder, electric violin magic, plant music biosonification, Tailor Birds has always tried to experiment with wondrous concepts, most recently recording the electrical currents of the studio walls via her plant music work.  Live shows and her latest recordings aim to connect us all to a sound deeper than the earth, to help the listener regain a sense of calm and peace in a world of chaos, whilst also inspiring intrigue and wonderment. Reminiscent of the work of Nick Cave and Enya, and sometimes described as music for a video game not created yet, Tailor Birds’ performances have filtered through wild community experimental festivals throughout Europe, and in Australia from down in the Tarkine forest in Tasmania up to the rainforests in far north Queensland. This music sits on the edge of mainstream, but also fits into a world of its’ own.

"Medusa’s Wake Releases EP ‘Echoes of Our Past’ For St Pats Day Shows"

Often described as the love child of The Pogues and Australia’s own Roaring Jack, Sydney’s Medusa’s Wake deliver a powerful fusion of Celtic tradition, folk storytelling, and punk-fuelled intensity. Their sound blends rebel spirit with barroom melody — equal parts whiskey-soaked ballad and foot-stomping anthem — capturing both Irish heritage and Australian grit in one unmistakable voice.

The EP – Echoes of Our Past

Echoes of Our Past is a deeply personal and powerful release from Medusa’s Wake, born from a period of profound loss and reflection. The songs emerged after lead singer and songwriter Eddie Lawlor lost both his father and brother within sixteen months of each other in Ireland. In the space between grief and healing, these tracks took shape — not simply as songs, but as a way to process loss, honour memory, and reconnect with heritage.

Blending Celtic tradition with driving folk-rock energy, Echoes of Our Past carries the raw honesty that defines Medusa’s Wake while revealing a more mature and emotionally resonant depth. Themes of family, resilience, identity, and brotherhood run throughout the EP, transforming personal tragedy into communal strength. The result is a collection of songs that invite listeners to raise a glass, remember their own, and find solidarity in shared experience.

Rooted in storytelling and driven by heart, this release stands as both a tribute and a testament — proof that even in grief, powerful music can be born.

Upcoming Live Shows

This St. Patrick’s season features two Sydney appearances: the Mortlake Irish Festival (Friday 13th March) and the Echoes of Our Past EP Launch on Tuesday 17th March at Sydney Park Hotel, Newtown.

With further shows in Newcastle, Brisbane, and Tasmania on the horizon, Medusa’s Wake continue to unite audiences through music that celebrates heritage, rebellion, and the enduring power of song.

This will be a very big celebration of everything this band and the day itself stand for, Don the Green and don’t miss.

Formed over a decade ago, Medusa’s Wake have forged a reputation for commanding, high-energy live performances that turn venues into communal celebrations. With driving rhythms, rousing choruses, and anthemic hooks, their shows invite audiences to sing, stomp, and raise a glass in equal measure.

Their debut album Rascals and Rogues introduced a bold mix of working-class anthems, rebel songs, and traditional influences wrapped in a modern folk-punk edge. The release established the band as a rising force within Australia’s Celtic punk landscape.

Their latest release, the EP Echoes of Our Past, marks a confident evolution in both songwriting and musicianship. The record explores themes of heritage, resilience, loss, and camaraderie, delivering sharper arrangements and emotionally resonant storytelling while retaining the raw fire that defines their sound.

Across their ten-year journey, Medusa’s Wake have shared stages with genre heavyweights The Rumjacks, The Go Set, Handsome Young Strangers, and XLF (ex-Stiff Little Fingers). Performances in Melbourne and Tasmania have helped expand their grassroots following well beyond their Sydney base.
