So the Grates sophomore album Teeth Lost, Hearts Won is FINALLY available here in the States after an inordinately, ridiculously long wait. After being released in their homeland down under over a year ago, the album finally moves north of the equator and you no longer have to pay an exorbitant sum for the import. On top of that, you can catch them live if you live in the western part of the co...

Australia’s The Grates will be playing Pianos Residency in Manhattan (Lower East Side) TOMORROW (7/14). You may not expect them to be my cup of tea, but then consider that the trio (two girls, one guy) meshes so many different sounds together – I feel like I’m listening to the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s and Cold [...]

The Hillside Festival in Guelph was...unreal. So many great shows, so many great people. Because there's so much to cover here, I'm going to make my posts day-by-day. These posts will be filled with commentary, poorly lit photos, and shaky video footage.

Actually, her & her fiancé Todd are living at his parent's sweet apa..

Karaoke, an unhinged rendition of the Disney chestnut "A Whole New World," to be specific, brought Australians Patience Hodgson, John Patterson, and Alana Skyring together as musicians, but that sap-soaked turn at the mike didn't exactly foreshadow the classic punk racket on which the trio would build its reputation. Friends since childhood in Brisbane, Hodgson, Patterson, and Skyring honed the...

If you can't tell by our SXSW lineups, we're a big fan of The Grates. The Aussies are heading over for the first time in quite a while and will play multiple dates at SXSW, including all three parties MOKB is associated with, and then hit NYC and LA. If you haven't seen this band live, you're missing out. You'll leave out of breath and with an ear-to-ear grin of happiness.The Grates - Burn B...

All around fun interview which i'll be posting as soon as the interview is done being edited and all that jazz...So I have to say this was one o...

Who doesn't love australian indie power pop rocks? That's correct, no one. So check out The Grates because they are taste. Anyone who likes this should check out their entire album. It's an ecclectic mix of goodness.

i met patience within a few weeks of moving to brisbane in early 2004. her boyfriend at the time was best buddies with my boyfriend at the time and so we were friends by default, at first. and i think she liked me straight away because i gave her a kiss on the cheek upon meeting, you know, in that european way people sometimes do. i'd just moved back from germany, see. anyway i think we were bo...
