Over the last few months, maximalist nail trends have been popping up left and right. Last week, it was pop art manicures, and even before that, it was all about “bimbocore” nails.

The trend originated on TikTok, but is still going strong, both on social media and on the hands of some of our favorite celebs. The mostly neutral look is one part quiet luxury and one part…

There’s been a big push to normalize body hair in recent years, which is great because, well, everybody has it. That said, some people still like to get rid of it (and both choices are OK). If you’re of the party who’d rather be hairless, you’ve probably asked yourself the following questions a million times: How should I remove it? Shave? Wax? Splurge on laser hair removal? Try sugaring? The hair-removal options are plentiful, and that goes for removing hair anywhere on your body, stomach hair included. Although many people…

Judge me if you must, but I’m the type of girl who will go get her hair done in the morning, then head to a Pilates class (or two) straight after. And there is no shame in my game! When I shared this with celebrity hairstylist Andrew Fitzsimons the morning of his salon event for the Andrew Fitzsimons x Bellami 24″ Ponytail ($295), his new line of ponytail extensions, he took a second to finish smoothing my hair back, then asked me if I was joking — and I said…

Glass Animals Announce Australian Tour – Backseat Mafia
Grammy-nominated and Platinum-selling British band Glass Animals have announced an Australian tour for this November and will be performing in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. “Australia. We love you so f***ing much. When we first came to tour over there, we only had like four songs. So we played them twice. And you forgave us. And then you gave us our first ever hottest 100 success with Gooey. And then you embraced Heat Waves so hard I tattooed the shape of Australia on my arse cheek. It is my only tattoo. I forget it’s there sometimes and it startles me when I get out of my bubble bath. But it makes…

Tasmania’s Bully Hay unveils immersive video for the thrilling anthem ‘Wash Off The World’ ahead of debut album release. – Backseat Mafia
We are honoured to premiere the anthemic single and immersive video for ‘Wash Off The World’ from indie Tasmanian rocker Bully Hay. The single itself is augmented by The Tea Party’s Jeff Martin on production, and the result is an anthemic gem that shines with passion and authenticity. Bully Hay is the nom de plume of Jonathon Coleman, and he says of the track: The sound is reminiscent of the early Powderfinger albums but has this (John) Bonham solid drum sound powering through. And Jeff Martin’s influence throughout lent itself beautifully to really fill out certain sections. Often, it’s a process where the sound is shaped kind of unconsciously throughout…

Wingz Of The Monkey / No Ripcord / Ben Coaten – NE Volume Bar, Stockton 22.06.2024 – Backseat Mafia
The night was perfectly constructed with the Gerry Cinnamon Esq Ben Coaten opening things up, alt-rockers No Ripcord sending the night on a slow descent into chaos that punks rockers Wingz Of The Monkey cemented with a guitar snapping set. The venue was full of the young and the weird, which isn’t surprising considering the headliners are barely scrapping twenty. However, this does not reflect on the quality. Each act is worthy on their own, but the three together encapsulated a sweaty rock ‘n roll night. Taking to the stage, singer/songwriter Ben Coaten, complete in a Pretty Green shirt and sunglasses, was a diminutive figure until he started singing. Those…
