What our indie bands have been up to

Melbourne's Vance Joy joins the roster at Liberation Music just in time for the upcoming release of his EP God Loves When You're Dancing. He's managed by UNFD.

Meanwhile, Cub Scouts are continuing to fire on all cylinders, after their EP Told You So landed at number 16 on the CMJ Top 200 chart.

After emerging from their long five year hibernation, Something With Numbers will play three headline shows in February following the release of their latest single, We Kill The Weekend. The lads will appear at the Crowbar in Brisbane on 14 February, Northcote Social Club in Melbourne on 15 February and the Annandale Hotel in Sydney on the 22 of February respectively.

Following up on a very successful 2012, Fremantle band Rainy Day Women have announced the upcoming release of their new EP Friends, as well as an east coast tour. Friends was recorded with help from Andy Lawson and Brian Lucy, as the WAM song of the year winners hit the road in late February.
