Intercooler
A Mexican guitar was the catalyst for the formation of Intercooler in 2001. Had it been made in the US, perhaps the story would read a little differently. Jaded by the ‘struggling artist’ cliché, Joel Potter (bass) hung up his instrument and pissed off to the UK, perhaps resigned to the fact that running around in circles for the sake of music wasn’t worth it. Meanwhile, back in Oz, vocalist and guitarist Phil Ballantyne was getting restless.

Halal, How Are You?
Dirty garage pop music. Sounds like Big Star on Mescaline…The Birthday Party playing a set of Undertones covers. They also once played with No Age, it was rad.
Halal, How Are You? are Sydney’s answer to garage party music, where everyone can get together and rub sweat on each other whilst dancing to some real great music.
