Dylan Joel

Young and determined Dylan Joel is definitely a star to watch out for in the hip hop industry. Originated from Melbourne, VIC, this amazing kid won the “Pyramid Rock” competition of Triple J Unearthed last 28th of November 2010, when he was just starting his career. There were a bunch of amazing acts from all over Australia, but there was only 1 star that shined forth, Dylan Joel. No doubt, this 21 year old kid deserves to be the Eazy Entertainment’s Artist of the Week.

In an interview with Triple J Unearthed, Dylan Joel was asked about his upcoming shows on New Year’s eve (2011). “You’re the winner of our Pyramid Rock competition and will be opening the main stage on New Years Eve – what can Pyramid Rock punters expect from the Dylan Joel live show?” Yeah, such an insane opportunity. So stoked to be rocking Pyramid this year. Never expected to be playing a show like this so early on in my career. Was always one of those ‘dream to play’ kind of gigs. – So my plan is to get a little creative on this set. Not every day you get to play such a sweet show, so we’re planning on having some fun with it. New tracks, old tracks, few covers. I have 3 homes that back me up in my live shows, rocking live bass, drums and vinyls – So hopefully we’ll be bringing a mad festival vibe to our set! Definitely not afraid to have a boogie. So expect some real funky, bumpin‘ tracks! 

In an interview with YouthCentral, Dylan Joel was asked where did his interest in music start? So my first introduction to hip-hop was actually from a real dope opportunity I had back in 2007. I was a 15-year-old standard kid that was lucky enough to be asked to host a stage show and the headline act happened to be the big lads Bliss N Eso. So I had the privilege of meeting them backstage and getting a behind-the-scenes insight into what hip-hop was all about. From there, my taste in hip-hop expanded internationally and then like all rappers I began speaking my mind through pen and paper. Then BOOM! Instant rapper (sort of…).

If there’s one thing that’s clear about Dylan Joel, it’s his enthusiasm and absolute passion for what he does. Supporting the up-and-comers in hip-hop, Dylan is someone who’s starting to solidify his position in the underground Australian music scene.

“This tune makes me very happy.”- Dom Alessio, Triple J

“This kid can rap his ass off, good concepts, strong voice, good song structure” – Adam Booth, Illusive Music

“It is so inspiring to see a young artist, so early in his career, performing with such professionalism, talent and confidence. A sign of bigger things to come, no doubt.” – Mantra

“I’ve just listened to this 4 times in a row and it’s still not enough” – Dan Buhagiar, Triple J

“If the Mayan calendar doesn’t f**k us over then 2013 will be his year.” – Dave Ruby Howe, Triple J Unearthed

The kid is excited about the future, and so are we… You need to make sure you come and check out the kid that everyone is talking about…

The Bamboos

Melbourne, Australia is where The Bamboos was formed by NZ-born producer/guitarist/songwriter Lance Ferguson in 2000 and have come a long way in the music industry. Eazy Entertainment Australia acknowledged this amazing talent The Bamboos and is now our featured Artist of the Week. The Bamboos were initially inspired by the instrumental raw funk of the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, and they made waves internationally and were quickly labelled as one of the greatest funk and soul bands of our time.  But while many would be happy to simply soak up the praise and keep on keeping on, The Bamboos have proven that they are more than “meets the eye”, over five acclaimed albums, their evolution in sound and style has consistently confounded and exceeded expectations, pulling the rug from under the feet of those who like to pigeonhole.

The Bamboos have toured Europe and the U.K three times performing sell-out shows at esteemed venues including The Barbican & The Jazz Cafe in London and in countries including France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Slovakia, Belgium, Switzerland and Ireland.

Their songs have been regularly on the playlists of national radio stations in Australia, the UK, France, the US, Japan and beyond. The unshakable charm of their songs has also seen them licensed to hit movies including Crazy Stupid Love, the soon to be released  Adore - Naomi Watts & Robin Wright and TV shows such as Grey’s Anatomy, CSI New York, One Tree Hill, Ugly Betty and Australian shows such as Underbelly, House Husbands, Offspring, Packed To The Rafters.

Last year (2012), The Bamboos released their fifth studio full-length, entitled ‘Medicine Man’. The album consisted of 12 vocal tracks, featuring Kylie Auldist and guests including Aloe Blacc, Daniel Merriweather, Tim Rogers, Megan Washington, Bobby Flynn and Ella Thompson (the latter who would join the band in the same year to complete the current 9-piece lineup).

HERE ARE SOME REVIEWS OF “MEDICINE MAN” ALBUM OF THE BAMBOOS:

“The Bamboos is the highest, tightest and easily the best live band of their kind in the country. The album is massive, unparalleled and gorgeous to listen to” – THE AGE – MELBOURNE MAGAZINE

”Quite extraordinary” – Mx Four Stars

“With complex and interesting pop songs, the album is a consistently fulfilling experience and one record that should not be ignored.” - TONE DEAF

“Bandleader Lance Ferguson’s crafty song-crafting shows an innate ability to extract winsome vocal performances from all his guests. Album opener I Never featuring Daniel Merriweather picks up where Mark Ronson left off, Washington’s star turns on Eliza and Wilhelm Scream (yes, that one!) sees the diminutive dame delightfully dreary, Bobby Flynn shows off his chops on Midnight and the whole band are in telepathic form throughout. Sounds like: The blue(s) train, stopping all stations. In a word: tight” – HERALD SUN

“Combining brassy blasts, funky keys and a revolving door of guest vocalists too long to list here, the soul-funk eight-piece posse have earned a fierce reputation for themselves.” – RADAR

“The fifth offering from these local funksters hits all the right spots even turning James Blake’s “The Wilhem Scream” into a super soulful number. Amazing.” – TRIPLE J MAG

The Bamboos will have a tour in Adelaide on Friday December 6, 2013 entitled “Fever In The Road”  Australian tour at The Gov 8:00 pm-11:30 pm. Catch them perform live!

Georgia Potter

Sharp-tongued chanteuse Georgia Potter is today's Eazy Entertainment Australia's Artist of the Week. Georgia Potter is one of the hardest working musos in Brisbane right now.  Georgia Potter has rapidly moved to the cutting edge of Alt- electronic pop in a short a burst of hyper-activity. She is tagged as "Female Frank Ocean" because of her two promotional singles XO and Reckless that were digitally released on Bandcamp and Soundcloud. Her songs were played a thousand times and Georgia became a Featured Artist on Triple J Unearthed just days after 'Reckless' dropped and moved into the Top #20 and #5 in the Unearthed Pop charts. Her previous single 'XO' received national and international radio play including major LA station KCRW.

Georgia’s eclectic mixture of neo-RnB and alt-pop sound encompasses a spectrum of dazzling musical concepts, from rolling beds of bass lapped with lush epiphanies to darker introspection, on love and loss, traversed by spacious and beat driven production - an unquestionable reasons why Georgia Potter needs to be acknowledged and featured as Eazy Entertainment's Artist of the Week.

Her artistic trajectory has seen her move from folk balladeer to recording and touring member of indie cult punk-soul group Laneous & The Family Yah to guesting live with acts such as Hiatus Kaiyote and Regurgitator.

"I've spent my whole life performing in a ridiculous variety of contexts but mostly kept my writing to myself until university. But after 1 year gigging as a soloist my music started evolving away from straight singer/songwriter stuff and I craved that feeling you get from having cymbals smashing behind you and bass frequencies up in your face, not to mention someone to turn to and smile with occasionally."  said Georgia Potter

With her debut LP currently underway, and after the response to her two promotional singles, expect big things from this mercurial songstress.

Dave Hole

Known for his style of playing rock and roll and blues music, Dave Hole is an Australian slide guitarist and is Eazy Entertainment's Artist of the Week. According to Australian rock music historian, Ian McFarlane,  Dave Hole "is the most acclaimed blues guitarist Australia has ever produced ... courtesy of his unorthodox slide guitar style, his rousing live shows and a series of hard-rocking, roadhouse blues albums ... yet it took two decades of slogging around the Australian touring circuit before the local industry sat up and took notice".

David Robert "Dave" Hole was born on the 30th of March 1948 at Heswall, Cheshire, United Kingdom. When he was four-years-old his family moved to Perth, Australia. He became interested in blues music after hearing a school friend's Muddy Waters' album when aged six-years-old. At twelve-years-old he received his first guitar and started to teach himself due to lack of availability of teachers. Hole is left-handed and, after breaking a finger in a football accident, he played the guitar right-handed. "I had to have a cast on it. So I came up with this idea, just while I was recuperating, of jamming the slide on my index finger and hanging it over the top of the guitar – quite an awkward sort of style, really. It took me about three months before this cast came off. And over that time it started to feel good".

Two of his albums have appeared on Billboard Top Blues Albums, Steel on Steel (1995) peaked at No. 13 and Ticket to Chicago (1997) reached No. 15. His sixth album, Under the Spell, appeared in April 1999 and won "Best Blues & Roots Album" at the ARIA Music Awards of that year.

Dave Hole“There’s no more explosive Blues guitar player in the world.” – ESQUIRE, U.S.A.

"No one on the current scene plays with the incendiary power he does” – ASSOCIATED PRESS.

“Magnificent, staggering, almost beyond belief. Utterly Blues approved.”--“GUITAR PLAYER” MAGAZINE, U.S.A.

“Exhilaratingly relentless…he produces solo upon blistering solo.” – GUITAR WORLD

“…..a one-way journey to sonic joy” – LIVING BLUES, USA.

“Slide guitar fanatics will have their brains blown out …. prepare to hear your jaw hitting the floor.” – BILLBOARD, U.S.A.

"….. he reigns supreme. His electric slide is without peer" - VINTAGE GUITAR, U.S.A.

After 8 previous releases and innumerable world tours, Dave Hole is now widely regarded as one of the all-time slide guitar greats, with accolades from around the globe and a growing world-wide fan base.

With his furious energy and amazing "over-the-top" style of playing, Dave Hole has carved his own place deep in the pantheon of slide guitar greats. His performances are drenched in waves of fret-melting guitar riffs that infuse the spirit of blues and rock slide legends such as Duane Allman, Johnny Winter and Elmore James. "Nothing interferes with Hole's searing guitar when he is in full flight," said Rolling Stone. Guitar World agreed, saying, "Hole produces solo upon blistering solo with slide work that is exhilaratingly relentless."

During July, the band played a few secret gigs throughout Melbourne underneath the name 'Werewolves', at venues including The Ding Dong lounge and Cherry Bar.

Jay Hoad

Jay Hoad

A Fijian born South Australian didgeridoo artist and stringed instrument virtuoso Jay Hoad is today's Eazy Entertainment Australia's Artist of the Week. He performs both as a solo artist and also fronts an extremely high-energy band.

Jay Hoad left Adelaide 7 years ago on an international music odyssey. He has spent the last seven years touring the globe, following the sun and his inspiration for music throughout the Caribbean, Southeast Asia, Bali, Fiji, Canada and North America, keeping up a relentless performance schedule whilst passionately learning about third world culture and every style of music he can sink his teeth in to.

Jay Hoad's music is often categorized as "World" as it is hard to pin down to one genre, but fans and fellow musicians will say it's far from... "I have never seen anything like Jay in my life, the way he plays so many instruments all at once boggles my mind, and the way he effortlessly combines so many genres of music in insane!" - Matthew Lavine, USA. "Must be seen to be believed!" - Sarah Thomas, FIJI. Hoad says, "I just love combining all styles of music from reggae to rock, tribal to jazz, funk to flamenco... you will see it all with this group!"

Artist of the Week

In 2011, Jay Hoad was recognized and honored amongst other international artists to support Bob Marley's "The Wailers" on the East Coast leg of their North America tour. He has been featured at major music festivals including  WOMADelaide, the  Port Fairy Folk Music Festival, and Saarang World Cultural Festival in India. This time Eazy Entertainment Australia will do its share in honoring and recognizing local music artist. Jay Hoad is chosen to be the featured Artist of the Week.

He has three internationally-released albums to his credit, "Stories For The Soul", "Warmth In The White", and his newest release, "Home Is Where The Heart Is".

Jay Hoad is bringing his unique show back to our shores for another huge Australian Tour, making his way around country with this one man band extravaganza. "I am so excited to be playing back in my home town of Adelaide and have invited a huge list of Adelaide's finest musicians to join me on stage for this show!" - Jay Hoad.

Hoad will be launching his brand new album "Home Is Where The Heart Is" in Adelaide at the Gov on October 11th with support act Bongo Sistas & Bro.

Says Jay, "I really can't wait to get back to SA as I absolutely love that part of the world. And of course, I'm super excited to be touring with a new album and pretty much a whole new set and sound. I think this album is by far the best work I have done to date, and coming from me that's a big call as I am super critical of my own work and rarely give myself a pat on the back. It truly represents all aspects of what I have to offer and I feel it really captures the live sound of my show like never before. Working with Craig was an incredible experience he brought out the best in me on every note. And with the evolving nature of music distribution, we really went to town on the artwork for this release as who knows how long physical CDs will still be available!"

Davey Lane

Davey Lane

Another Australian musician is today's featured Artist of the Week. Eazy Entertainment salutes to David Lane, also known as Davey Lane, who is one of the best male guitarist in Australia. Born on 31 January 1981, Davey Lane lead guitarist of You Am I (since 1999), and frontman of The Pictures. He is also a guitarist in Australian supergroup The Wrights. In January 29, 2005, Davey Lane performed with The Wrights at Waveaid presented at the Sydney Cricket Ground, in aid of the Boxing Day Tsunami. He then joined Jimmy Barnes' band and released The Pictures debut album, Pieces of Eight.

His talent was greatly recognized when Davey Lane was nominated for the Best Male Guitarist in 2006 at the Jack Awards for his work with You Am I. In 2007, he joined Crowded House for their tour in Europe and Australia, temporarily replacing Neil Finn's son Liam on miscellaneous guitar, keyboard and backup vocal duties. Late 2008 saw the release of You Am I's Dilettantes and the Pictures' Kicking Indifference.

After over a decade of experience as guitarist to one of Australia's much - loved rock groups You Am I, Davey Lane is going solo with his debut EP 'The Good Borne of Bad Tymes', set for release on September 6th, 2013.

Since joining You Am I at the tender age of 18, Lane has notched up six albums, an ARIA award, numerous world tours and shows with rock icons such as The Rolling Stones, The Who and The Strokes. Because of his big achievements and contributions in the Australian music industry, Davey Lane deserves to be featured as Eazy Entertainment's artist of the week.

His songwriting and recording collaborations are just as impressive and all-embracing, including co-writing with Jimmy Barnes, Jim Keays, Nic Cester (Jet), and hip-hop artist Phrase (on the 2011 Triple J hit ‘Apart’). He has featured as a guest on TV’s Rockwiz and has been the subject of several articles in Australian Guitar Player magazine.

Friday August 16 marks the official release of Davey Lane's debut single, "You’re The Cops, I'm The Crime."

You're The Cops, I'm The Crime is an ominous, brooding, psych-rock stomper with crunching hip hop drums and a soaring chorus, highlighting Lane's knack for melody and masterful guitar work. The 3-track digital release features the new single version and original home demo, as well as an exclusive remix from renowned Australian hip-hop producer M-Phazes (Bliss & Eso, Illy, Drapht, Phrase).

In support of the single and EP, Lane for the first time will embark on a headline tour through September and October with his band, beginning with Bigsound Live in Brisbane and then taking in Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia.

"Lane has taken on the persona of Syd Barrett, joined Cheap Trick, and the result is brilliant....a spacey pop centrepiece that fits perfectly in with the niche crowd but still keeps Lane's rock credibility intact. For that, he should be lauded" - Drum Media, Single Of The Week

"a ripper electro-rock track that wastes no time launching into a beautifully wasted chorus, this intoxicating collection of notes that is deeply romantic in a bad-boy arsehole kind of way. A big, big hit, I think." - Beat Magazine, Single Of The Week

"A dark sliver of pop with one of those great single note quasi-funk-guitar riffs through the verse and a big, sweeping chorus replete with plenty of synth pads that add a kind of lush feel to the song." – TheMusic.com.au
