Sydney-based electronic wizard Mickey Kojak stepped into triple j studios this morning to perform an original and a cover, and the cover he chose just happened to be one of Australia’s best electronic songs of all time. Kojak decided to pay homage to Art Vs. Science’s 2009 debut single ‘Parlez Vous Francais?’ and absolutely nailed it. […]
Sydney heavy band, Northlane took on fellow Sydney band, The Vines for this week’s Like a Version. They kept all the original goodness of the 2002 tune, ‘Get Free’, making sure to preserve all the desperation and pace that makes the track what it is. Still, they made it their own, distorting the guitars a […]
Hermitude have joined the list of excellent Like a Versions this year. Teaming up with Jaguar Jonze on vocals, they took on a 1993 classic: Nirvana’s ‘Heart-Shaped Box’. Hermitude kept the lyrics and the darker grunge anthem vibes, but that’s about it, putting their classic electronic-dance production skills to work and turning the song into […]
Rapper, singer extraordinaire, Dominic Fike was up for Like a Version this week after wrapping up his Aussie Tour a few days ago in Melbourne. He showed off his diverse musical talent by taking on Clairo’s ‘Bags’. It’s one of those magical Like a Versions where they shake the song up really nicely. It puts […]
Angie McMahon is known for deeply powerful and slow burning songs, and now she’s given an ABBA classic the same treatment on the latest instalment of Triple J‘s ‘Like A Version‘. While the original ‘Knowing Me Knowing You’ sounds worlds away from a place McMahon might be used to musically, she transformed it into a […]
It’s always bloody awesome to see musicians support each other, especially when it’s an international pioneer supporting one of our very own, and that’s exactly what’s happened between Gerard Way and Alex Lahey. In case you missed it, Alex Lahey took to triple j‘s ‘Like A Version‘ studio for the second time last Friday, where she […]
Okay so 2019 has seen Denzel Curry do Rage Against The Machine, Ceres do ‘A Thousand Miles’, and Cub Sport take on Billie Eilish. So it’s a big call, but I reckon this is THE Like a Version of the year. Alex Lahey —and a bunch of pals— have given us a rendition of My […]
Mate, happy Like a Version day because Japanese Wallpaper has brought the goods. That’s right, after featuring on just about everyone else’s, Japanese Wallpaper has finally been given the LAV reigns. What tune did he pick for his time to shine? ‘California’ by Phantom Planet. Or, more recognisably, the theme song from The O.C.. You […]
Holy Holy was up for Like a Version this week on triple j. The BAND took on the 2017 hit, ‘Green Light’ by Lorde and upped the loveliness factor by bringing along some special pals. They rounded up CLEWS to take on the vocals and grabbed a somewhat-regular on Like a Version now, Japanese Wallpaper […]
GRAACE was up for Like a Version on triple j this week. She served up a slowed down, sparkling, feels-filled piano ballad version of Avril Lavigne’s ‘Complicated’. With GRAACE on the vocals and piano, along with her own small strings section, she strips the track back and slows it down. The smoother and more emotive vocals […]
