Tim Minchin was a highlight at the Adelaide Cabaret Festival’s opening weekend, where a decidedly AstraZeneca-eligible crowd lapped up Alan Cumming’s program.

Tom Aspaul recruits MNEK for club remix of fan-favourite single Traces
Tom Aspaul has dropped his MNEK-assisted remix of Traces.
While the melody and overall vibe of the track has been completely revamped, the new version still retains that triumphant sensation of getting over a former lover.
Speaking with GAY TIMES, Tom says MNEK – who produced his first ever single Indiana – was the perfect artist to hop on the remix because he’s “at the zenith of it all, he’s the gold standard at the minute, blazing a trail for all of us.”
Remembering the moment the Head & Heart chart-topper sent him the final version, Tom said: “I didn’t have any notes!
Black Country Disco on the world – and it was exactly what the queer community needed.
Black Country Disco begs to be heard in a gay club. Across 10 tracks, the Wolverhampton singer-songwriter explores love, intimacy, heartbreak and sex – all against the backdrop of glorious, life-affirming, disco-infused pop. Coursing through the album is the influence of the Black Country, the part of the West Midlands where Aspaul grew up and recently returned to after more than a decade of living in London.
The album hasn’t had a proper outing yet for obvious reasons (thanks, COVID-19). Instead, fans have had to make do with swaying in their bedrooms, a gin and tonic in hand, imagining throngs of sweaty revellers surrounding them.
‘What A Conversation With Brendan Maclean & Jack Colwell Taught Me About My Own Queerness’
Jackson Langford shares his touching discussion with Brendan Maclean and Jack Colwell on self-care, feuds, and their forthcoming Sydney co-headline show ‘Brendan Maclean + Jack Colwell: Together, And Apart’.

Brendan Maclean and Jack Colwell have both been staples of the Sydney music scene for almost a decade. Brendan's music? Electric, fun, invigorating, unapologetically queer. Jack's music? Raw, vulnerable, introspective, unapologetically queer. For 10 years, these two have battled against an industry that wanted to exploit them for their sexuality, and use their sexuality as a way of pitting them against each other. They were boxed in, they fell out and, now after so many years apart, they have fallen back together again for a special joint headlining concert, 'Brendan Maclean + Jack Colwell: Together, And Apart', in Sydney later this month. As I sat down with both of them to discuss their friendship, their falling out and the forthcoming concert, I learned things about myself, and my queerness, that I'm not sure I would have otherwise.

Daft Punk Broke Up And We Felt Our Feelings
Over on Music Junkee, it was… a big week to say the least. Conor Herbert had the tough job of pulling together a ranking of Daft Punk’s most essential songs. (We couldn’t get the speaker in our new office to work, but we all sang ‘One More Time’ in our heads all day.) We also looked back on the duo’s genre-defining 2017 Australian Nevereverland tour and dug into the MJ archives to remember that time the Daft Punk starship descended on Wee Waa.

For many of us in Sydney’s inner-west, Saint George was our patron. A tribute to the late George Michael, this benevolent two-storey mural by Scotty Marsh lived on the Erskineville home of local artist-icons Paul Mac and Jonny Seymour. Saint George – irreverent under a rainbow-hued halo – was a remembrance, a blessing, a beacon.

Brendan Maclean is ready to cap off his 2020 with the release of his third and final single of the year, the crunchy and bass-heavy ‘Sensational’.
The song, produced by New Zealand’s Missy with toplines from Kings and Jon Lemmon, was written while Maclean attended APRA NZ Songhubs 2020 earlier this year, held in Neil Finn‘s studios.
‘Sensational’ is a markedly different song than Maclean’s other two releases of the year – the disco-infused ‘Easy Love‘ and the Yeo-produced ‘Gemini‘.

“The camp was held in Neil Finn’s studios, so besides the place being aesthetically and technically gorgeous, it was also full of amazing literature,” Maclean explained of the song’s origins in a press statement.
