Editor’s Note
Dry January is over. Now it’s time for freaky February.
With all of the fuss of the holidays behind us, now it’s time to sit back and soak it all in. Stay out late on a work night. Spend too much money on a festival ticket. Give up on your New Year’s Resolutions – you’re perfect just the way you are. Summer’s not forever, so we suggest you throw caution to the wind and make it as hedonistic as you can.
In the spirit of the season, we’re profiling a handful of artists who know how to have a good time. Our cover stars, Folk Bitch Trio, give us a lesson on gratitude following their banger breakout year. Inside, BARKAA shows love to the fans, sleepazoid prepare for a Laneway throwdown, Total Tommy talks touring overseas and Nilüfer Yanya discusses the power of a good artistic partnership. Plus, we’ve got guides for St Kilda Fest, regional events and more, so you’ll always know where the party’s at.
On a more personal note, my time as Beat’s print princess is officially coming to a close. Thank y
