Fascinator: Live at Yonder Festival, Mary Valley, 30 November 2019 Fascinator is the solo project of Johnny Mackay, A.K.A. Lord Fascinator. In a parallel life he is also the guitarist and lead singer in rock band Children Collide. Fascinator started as a side project in electronic music at the peak of Children Collide's success. After Mackay moved to New York in 2010, he got more serious about the side project, becoming known for wild, experimental live shows that could either feature a dozen people onstage playing air instruments or just him DJ-ing. The first Fascinator studio releases were the EPs "Birth" and "Earth" in 2013, followed by albums "Man" in 2016, "Water Sign" in 2018" and "Beyoğlu" in 2020.

Shandy: Live at The Tivoli, Fortitude Valley, 17 April 2021 Shandy are a five piece-piece rock 'n roll group from Brisbane. They formed at a local soccer match in 2013 when singer JJ Speedball pitched bass player Viktor Guard an idea for a new band. It would be inspired by British "bovver rock", mixed with the Australian "Sharpie" youth subculture from the 1970s. Guard agreed it was a great idea and ordered a round of shandies from the bar to celebrate, thus giving the band their name. Originally a trio, Shandy expanded to a five-piece and released their debut album "Tough Pucker" in 2015. They toured Europe several times, which led to the release of live album "Live in Rennes" in 2021. They are currently working on their second studio album, "Hard Yakka". This set you're about to hear was recorded at Blowhard's "The Last Blow" gig.

Spinks has been the sole mainstay on guitar and vocals, and the current version of the band stabilised in 2008 with the rhythm section of Ash Jenkins on bass and Alex "Sleepy" Morrison on drums. Over the past decade Gravel Samwidge have often been joined by Matt Kennedy on second guitar, as you'll hear in this set.

The band released the albums "Blowin' Off" in 1993, "Hornbag" in 1996 and "The Toxic Swing" in 2009, along with countless EPs, singles and compilations. Rollo was a larger-than-life character whose wild onstage antics left a mark on generations of punters. Offstage, he was a champion of DIY music, helping countless other bands get their start as a gig organiser and owner of record label Splurt Records. Rollo died suddenly of natural causes in 2019, and the following year a park in the suburb of Norman Park was renamed in his honour, reflecting both his stature in the local music community and his years of service as an employee of Brisbane City Council.

It's no secret that the past year hasn't been the best year for live music. While Brisbane was not as badly affected as other areas, the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic continue to be felt. Snap lockdowns meant cancelled gigs at very short notice for local bands, and the closure of the Queensland border for most of the year meant very few interstate acts were able to tour. Still, Live Delay has persisted, bringing you previously unheard sets from the vault to bring you your live music fix. Featuring highlights from The Mouldy Lovers, Madboots, May Lyn, Velociraptor, MC Triks, Majestic Horses, The Jensens + Luminescence, PYNES, RAT!hammock, The Double Happiness, Rivermouth, Jamie Hutchings, Captain Dreamboat and Emily Wurramara. Show production, engineering and host: Scott Mercer Originally aired via Zed Digital, 7-8pm, Sunday 26 December, 2021
