On this feel-good episode of The Mixtape, we hang out with Perth’s own 46 Brigade—a band blending big hooks, heartfelt lyrics, and a deep love for all things Australian music.
We chat about their recent performance at Gidestock Festival, swap stories about our mutual friend and WA music legend Dom Mariani, and dive into a shared obsession with 80s Australian movie soundtracks. The band also opens up about the unexpected emotions of seeing Crowded House live, and how those moments shape their own approach to songwriting and performance.
As always, the band creates an imaginary mixtape—curating a nostalgic, heartfelt, and sometimes surprising playlist of the songs that influenced their journey.
🎶 If you’re into Aussie music history, festival vibes, and cinematic soundscapes, this episode hits all the right notes.
