BRANDS AND BANDS: Witchery with Angus & Julia Stone

You may remember Witchery getting quite a lot of promotion early last year for a campaign they ran (with Naked) which involved a fake report of a young woman searching for a man she had met at a café who had left his jacket behind.




Witchery are back in the media, but this time they have partnered with some real Aussie talent - in Sydney duo Angus & Julia Stone and Sydney director Kiku Ohe (who has also directed music videos for the duo, as well as Beautiful Girls in the past).

The ad looks like a mini movie… but the highlight is definitely the soundtrack, which features Angus & Julia's track “Draw Your Swords” from their Down The Way album (due to be released 12 March 2010)

NEW RELEASE: Friendly Fires vs Holy Ghost

Friendly Fires and Holy Ghost were both on a festival lineup in Corsica back in July last year. And apparently the partying led to them agreeing to release a split single - covering each others tracks.

It seems their partying commitment has been honoured, and "Friendly Fires vs Holy Ghost" will be released on March 8, on download and 12 inch.

For the release, Friendly Fires have covered Holy Ghost’s “Hold On”, and Holy Ghost have put down their version of Friendly Fires' "On Board"

Check out the covers below:

Sprite turns Drake into a robot

This latest ad from Sprite features Canadian rapper (and ex Degrassi cast member), Drake.



I can't recall any other musicians who have been involved with Sprite recently... so I wonder if this is a new move into the urban music space for them?
