In Loving Memory of Annie Southworth
Posted on March 6, 2018 by michelle
Panache lost one of our oldest agents and colleagues this past week, our dear friend Annie Southworth. Annie had worked with Panache for nearly a decade, and our friendship spanned over 15 years. When she joined forces with Panache, she brought such powerful wisdom, strength and experience to our very young fledgling booking agency. Together we became a power house of a booking team, that was being led by women. When she joined the agency she brought over bands like Oh Sees, No Means No, Kelley Stoltz, Fresh and Onlys and many others to our roster. She was a warrior for all womankind. Her utter love of music, vitality for life and resilient attitude helped form the foundation that Panache thrives on today. The world has suffered a great loss with Annie’s passing. Too soon. #fuck cancer #getyourbodieschecked #tellyourlovedonesyoulovethem

Featured Artist
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard make a return as they share the video to ‘Cyboogie’ their first track in over 12-months.
For a band who released five albums in 2017, over 12-months ‘off-grid’ seems like an eternity, but today Melbourne’s freewheeling 7-piece, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, return with Cyboogie, a stomping near seven minute electro-shuffle that filters all that’s great about Gizzard through the Moroder-filter. Accompanied by the regulation Jason Galea video, which see’s the band cast as a bunch of identikit analogue droogs, Cyboogie is an addictive taste of what’s to come from the band who for the most part took a break from the studio last year after their record breaking 2017 which saw the release of Flying Microtonal Banana, Murder Of The Universe, Sketches Of Brunswick East, Polygondwanaland and Gumboot Soup. read more…

Feb 20, 2019
Singer-songwriter Jess Cornelius, who used to be part of Australian group Teeth & Tongue, has just released her debut solo single, “No Difference.” A nice piece of anthemic guitar pop, the song’s video focuses on eyes and has Jess singing from the bathtub. “We wanted to introduce the water element because of its cleansing/rebirthing properties, but water is also destructive, and the image of someone wearing a white suit in a full bathtub implies someone slightly unhinged,” says Jess.

Drugdealer – “Fools”
Feb 15, 2019
To accept Drugdealer is to buy into the notion that reverence for influences can become so fervent that it scratches up against the edges of schtick. There’s a fine line between what Fred Armisen is doing with Blue Jean Committee and what Michael Collins and crew are doing with Drugdealer. It shouldn’t matter so much – 60’s adherents are a rampant among garage and alt-pop types.
