Listen "Episode 79: Hamish Cowan – Cordrazine"
Episode Synopsis
For close to 30 years now, the Australian music scene has sporadically played host to the exceptional Cordrazine.Fronted by Hamish Cowan, who formed the group following time spent in the group Blindside, Cordrazine were the very definition of a star that shone brightly, and for a period far shorter than they should have.Releasing their 'Time To Leave' EP in 1997, the group's singular sound saw them making it into triple j's Hottest 100 of the year when their track 'Crazy' hit the No. 17 position, and by 1998, debut album 'From Here To Wherever' hit the national top 10 and resulted in two ARIA Award nominations.Sadly, Cordrazine were not long for this world, and they split soon after. Cowan would go on to form the duo Hamish with Bryan St James, but we wouldn't see Cordrazine again until 2010, when the 'Always Coming Down' album was released into the world.Since then, it's been a little sporadic on the live front, though we've recently seen a handful of new tunes released by the group in the lead up to the release of the 'You See In Me' EP, which arrives today.The EP will be followed by a launch show at the Northcote Social Club next week, which is being billed as the final opportunity to see Cordrazine live.This week, I was lucky enough to be joined by Cowan, who was kind enough to take part in not just one, but two chats, after we simply ran out of time in our first meeting to talk about all the things we had to. Anyway, have a listen to Cordrazine's 'You See In Me' EP, buy a ticket to their final show, have a listen to our chat, and I’ll see you at the end of the episode for some general housekeeping.
