Sydney Post Punk Band #1: Voigt/465

Sydney, circa 1979. A thriving underground music scene existed where nothing was concrete and the status of a band's line up was more than fluid. Whether or not one had mastered an instrument meant nothing, nor was it important. You had a different role in another band, and that was that. Bands would last years, or weeks. Nothing was concrete.

Over the coming weeks we will be re-introducing you to various artists from this exciting period in our music history.

Ladyhawke And The Presets Take Out ARIAs

A big hats off to Modular superstars Ladyhawke and The Presets, who both cleaned up nicely at last night's ARIA Awards. Our favourite songstress took home two Breakthrough Artist awards in both the album and single categories, while Jules and Kim claimed the Best Dance Release for "Talk Like That".

Have a listen to the killer Burns remix of Ladyhawke's "Magic" while we celebrate.

Modular Welcomes The Swiss Aboard

In a time when everyone who isn't Crookers is claiming to be a "disco act", there is an insurmountable wash of pretenders. Adelaide trio The Swiss, however, are a legit live disco band whose existence is based entirely on flavour and good times rather than the Cobra Snake and fitted caps. And, as we collectively move into a new decade, Modular is very chuffed to announce The Swiss are the newest members of the ever-growing Modular family.
