If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, the old saying goes, and as we all know there’s nothing about Shannon Noll’s gutsy voice that warrants first aid. Just give him a song to sing and he will take it to where only he can. We’ve heard it ring out from the top of the charts so many times over the past 15 years and now we’re about to hear him in the finest voice of his career on his new album, Unbroken.
 

Seven years since the release of his previous album A Million Sons, Unbroken, his Warner Music debut, is Nollsie declaring he’s still got the passion, the dedication and the voice that has made him one of the most successful male performers in Australian music history.

​

“It’s been a testing time for me in the past few years, just trying to adapt and survive,” he says, “so it’s just to say I’m still going and that it would take more than that to stop me.”

“If there’s a thread through my songs, it’s my positive spin on life. It’s a wonderful experience and you need to have fun even when you’re facing up to its challenges.” 

This Welcome Diversion is packed with guitar-driven songs, at once both sharp and worn a little around the edges. The album was recorded with U.S. producer Matt Wallace (Faith No More Maroon 5, Bic Runga) at Sound City Studios where Fleetwood Mac, Nirvana, and Tom Petty cut their classic records.

Turning small town dreams into international streams as Isaiah notches up millions of streams globally and turns his focus to more success in 2017.
 

With a population of just over 5000 people, Moama is hardly the kind of place you expect to find a superstar. Well, no one told Isaiah that.
 

In the past two years, the talented teen has transformed from a small town singer with big dreams, to one of Australia’s most successful artists. Along the way he’s won The X Factor, released a debut single that charted all over the world, and notched up millions of international streams. All that at just 17 years of age.
 

It’s a long way from Moama.

​

Isaiah is certainly no stranger to hard work. He knew what he wanted, and he was determined to make it happen.

​

“I always felt in my heart that I knew what I wanted to do in life and that was make music,” admits Isaiah.

The Show

Take a trip back to the 80s. An era of frizzy perms and shoulder pads, tax deductible lunches, CDs and music that shaped a generation.

​

The Absolutely 80s show was born 11 years ago, featuring much loved Aussie pop icons performing their massive hits from the 80s and creating hours of epic flashbacks.
 

The Absolutely 80s show doesn’t just focus on the hits of our singers, but mixes it up with a wide range of famous songs from the 80s. This approach - along with the outstanding showmanship of our stars - makes for all-round, broader entertainment appeal. In the 80s, each of our acts sold hundreds of thousands of records, Australia wide and internationally, also holding house attendance records in many venues.
 

You’ll still see some of our stars making regular appearances on TV (AFL Grand Final, Footy Show, Spicks & Specks, Rock Wiz, The Morning Show & Sunrise).

SLINKEE MINX first arrived on the music scene in impressive style in mid-2004, with their explosive remake of the 1989 Belinda Carlisle classic ‘Summer Rain’.

International success soon followed with the release of ‘Summer Rain’ in more than 50 countries including the UK, where it reached #3 on the UK Mainstream Dance Chart and #9 on the UK Commercial Club Chart...

Respected throughout the music industry for sticking to his guns during his time on Australian Idol by staying true to his original big-band style, persistence has paid off 'Swing King' Carl Riseley, as he starts 2009 off swinging. 

Hailed as the next Harry Connick Jnr, there is no argument that the future is bright for this young and incredibly talented musician...

The musical evolution of Michael Paynter has been a series of obsessive    love affairs. At the age of 7 it was the piano, at age 12 it was the guitar and by the age of 15 he was crashing through a set of drums.

It's a natural progression that, at the age of 22, the Melbourne-born singer, lyricist, and multi-instrumentalist unleashes his debut record, This Welcome Diversion, a travelogue of expectations and disappointments through the eyes of an optimist. 

“If there’s a thread through my songs, it’s my positive spin on life. It’s a wonderful experience and you need to have fun even when you’re facing up to its challenges.” 

This Welcome Diversion is packed with guitar-driven songs, at once both sharp and worn a little around the edges. The album was recorded with U.S. producer Matt Wallace (Faith No More Maroon 5, Bic Runga) at Sound City Studios where Fleetwood Mac, Nirvana, and Tom Petty cut their classic records. 

“The experience of making this record took me to a whole new level. Matt was very encouraging, and working with someone of that calibre in a studio with that kind of history just brought out the best in me.”
