Listen "Episode 23: Jason Katsaras – Hard Rubbish, Big Town, Dead Roo, Burnside Mums"
Episode Synopsis
There’s no denying that the Adelaide music scene is one which is equally small and large. Small in the sense of its physical size, but large in just how far and wide its influence reaches thanks to the talented, welcoming people who comprise it.
One of those people is Jason Katsaras, a musician whose influence over the last decade is still felt despite his current absence from his hometown.
If you’ve been a regular of the classic SA venues, then you very well might have seen him as a member of bands like Burnside Mums, Dead Roo, or Big Town. Needless to say, he’s been around the place, and he’s a familiar face throughout the City of Churches.
For the last couple of years, he’s been working on a new project, one called Hard Rubbish. I’d be lying if I said it was anything less than the stellar quality we’re used to receiving from Jason, and it’s yet another project in a long list of Adelaide artists I wholly recommend.
This week, Jason is releasing a new single called ‘16 Walls, and it’s the sort of thing you need to be adding to your current playlist wherever you are. Fittingly, Jason is also my guest on this week’s podcast, which serves as a perfect opportunity for me to ask all the typical Adelaide questions. (No, not exactly “Which school did you go to?” but pretty close!)
Anyway, I strongly urge you to check out Hard Rubbish’s new single, ‘16 Walls’, and once you’re done giving that a spin, have a listen to our chat, and I’ll see you at the end of the episode for some general housekeeping.
