Indie Shuffle
A San Francisco music blog with a penchant for Australian tunes.
Overview
In 2008 an email went out to a group of friends circulating some of the best new music found over a two-week period. Twelve emails and about 50 bands later sender Jason Grishkoff launched this here blog from somewhere in San Francisco, and then this here user-friendly website that now reaps over three million page views per month.
These days Indie Shuffle has no less than 10 writers scouring the web for the most exciting new tracks, two of which are regulated to traipsing through the musical landscape of Australia. There their travels have been punctuated extra satisfyingly by jangly melodies from Palms, dream-pop hooks from Australian Music Prize nominees Made in Japan, the reverb-heavy tunes of City Riots and dance floor-cramming stuff from Olympic Ayres and Jubilants DJs.
The latest development is that Grishkoff et al. have rounded up all those artists for a big old party at FBi Social. Tickets are $15 on the door, which works out at a somewhat loco $3 per act. You’d be mad to miss it.
