Running until the end of May, the @joltarts Autumn Season spans everything from avant-garde noise to classical Indian tabla, acousmatic opera to stand-up comedy; all threaded through JOLT’s commitment to neurodiverse artists and pushing sound into unexpected territory.
Highlights include I Hold The Lion's Paw (IHTLP) and guests at @northcotesocialclub on Wednesday May 27. Drawing from the abstract playgrounds of their third studio album, Potentially Interesting Jazz Music, IHTLP are hosting a surrealist happening. Expect grungy durational performance, psychedelic ambience, unhinged funk, spoken word, avant-garde electronics, and (of course) some potentially interesting Jazz music.
Check out the full program and get your tickets via: pbsfm.org.au.

This Thursday on Sunglasses After Dark, Phil MacDougall takes us on a journey down memory lane, resurfacing an interview he did with John Lydon of the Sex Pistols and Public Image Ltd.
Recorded in Lydon's hotel room at the Old Melbourne Motor Inn in December 1984, this PBS interview was taped when Public Image Ltd were touring Australia for the very first time. This special broadcast covers them chatting about punk rock in the UK, reggae music, and plenty more.

Blending searing, emotive vocals with a washed-out, psychedelia-steeped sonic palette, @ruby.jones.music crafts a tempestuous and hauntingly beautiful sound that is uniquely her own. Jones cut her teeth on the local scene before rising to international prominence as a core member of Clairy Browne & The Bangin' Rackettes.
Now, with her sophomore album Souvenir slated for release in 2026, Jones turns her gaze outward. The record wrestles with themes of existential climate threats, intergenerational trauma, guilt, loss and ultimately rebirth, delivering a body of work as urgent as it is timeless.
Don't miss when Ruby Jones stops by PBS for a special Studio 5 Live performance on Stone Love. Tune in on Friday May 15 from 5pm for this exclusive set and interview with host @richie1250 .
