The Shane Oliver Experience

That's Not Canon Productionsthatsnotcanon.com
Our generation more than any other is steeped in politics, feminism, mental health awareness, and the arts. Over the last 10 years, Shane Oliver has been at the hub of it all: the Brisbane live music scene. As an avid gig-goer, friend of many musicians, and aspiring musician himself, Shane offers a unique perspective on the highs and lows of the world behind live music and how it shapes our worldview, with the help of musicians from around Australia and beyond.

Tom Wooler & Hugh of GigUp

Tom and I met a while back and told me he recently started working with a bloke who was working on a local music app and I just had to find out more about it and why we haven't jumped on this sooner. It honestly never occurred to me to use an app for musicians and venues to promote on but luckily someone was. Both Tom and Hugh have a great passion for live music and and everything inbetween. I had such a great and informative chat with the guys and genuinely can't wait to see GigUp launch. https...

Jack Henry of SLUGG / Kaviti / Scumbag / Skirmisher

Jack has been involved in music for a damn long time, it shows with the impressive list of bands he's played for (no doubt I've forgotten a few) This is the kind of normalcy I've grown used to hearing though as being an amazing drummer in Brisbane especially is always in demand. He's also an active supporter at the protests for the release of the refugees from the Kangaroo Point Hotel where over 100 detainees are being held (some up too as long as 8 years) Originally his new Doom band SLUGG plan...

Tom Lee Christen and Chloe Garrett (Dreamworm and Harshmellow)

It felt strange recording in my own bedroom, not in a bad way since distance rather than the virus made that happen, probably more so the fact it was my second attempt at a skype recording and normally I record in the studio. Dreamworm has a fascinating story and the lore behind the band is pretty mindblowing, Harshmellow is a comedic musical combo started by a shared love for art and each other. We talk about coping in crazy times, storytelling in music and so much more. I had such a good time ...

Kenny of King Lears Throne

Well hot damn it's good to be back. First episode since the craziness of COVID19 had the owner of King Lears Throne aka King of the shit talk Kenny onboard for a chat and it stayed on track relatively early but as you guessed it we talked a lot of shit.

We talk favourite shows played at his pub, getting the foot in...

Cowboys and Injuries (Live Episode)

I hadn't been to a Thursday night show in a while, of course I picked a rainy night to do so. Absolutely worth it though to catch up with the guys in Cowboys and Injuries, Andy and Nick are such good dudes and I'm a little bummed I couldn't get them in the studio but this is exactly why the live format has come into play. The goldy punks have just dropped a 2 track release on spotify and have more shows and songs coming at you in the near future. The audio does get a little dicey here and there ...

Garlic Nun (Live Episode)

Sometimes guests can't make it in to the studio because of schedules, life, you name it; that's totally okay in this instance I had the chance to meet up with the Garlic Nun boys for a few beers down the road from The Bearded Lady in West End before their show and full disclaimer, the sound won't be the greatest, there's background noise from the markets next door and a lot of back and forth chat it's hard to work out at times, but this is the feel I'm going for and especially more so for this e...
