Blue Mountains, Australia
A real hotspot at the moment for psych inspired tunes is the mountainous surrounds of Sydney that are so often referred to as "blue". Weather it is the air, the trees, the rivers, i'm not sure. One thing is true, nature flows through this type of music and bands such as Painted Stones are capturing that earnest essence and distilling it into tasty tasty Indie-Folk tunes. Painted Stones follow in the success of other mountains-based acts Belles Will Ring and Cloud Control. The brainchild of Peter K Beat, Oska Trouble and Brian Stone, Painted Stones create a unique blend of acoustic indie and folk that is truly addictive.

Catch Painted Stones at the opening night of Folk-Art, a night devoted to Indie-Folk tunes at Candy's Apartment this Thursday 4th October with Jamie Hutchings (Bluebottle Kiss), Man Ray and The Wahas.
