Unbelievably broad and detailed portrait of (let’s be honest) the best decade for independent music ever, the 90’s. So much gen x nostalgia. Super well researched and presented. Loads of “behind the scenes” content. Awesome Pod! Going back for a second listen!

Thanks so much, Just Ace has been just that. So fun to hear you geek out on the bands I loved but equally good when you took me into 90’s niches I didn’t connect to at the time. I’ve got some homework to do. Bring on season 3.

Perfection in a podcast. Not just talking about the great music and culture of the era but how and why it happened. A thorough look at all the pieces that led us to the most amazing time in Aussie music. Don’t stop. This podcast is the best yet.

Thanks Danny for cataloguing a very formative decade of music and the scenes surrounding it. I was there in the 90s for all of it, and Danny you capture the time so well. I just introduced this to my partner and he loved it too, in fact we just drove around aimlessly to listen for hours today....Read full review »

Danny has covered some excellent topics from 1989 (and earlier), 1990-1999 and beyond! I have found this really interesting and I am currently re listening to some episodes from series 1. I’ve found myself smiling and laughing; and I am always learning something! As a former 90’s “Aussie Rock...Read full review »

Loving this podcast! Danny’s passion for 90s music and his delivery of the details are inspiring, addictive and informative. Binged through the first season while walking around New York and now bingeing the second back in Melbourne. Brilliant work, great listening!

Fantastic and informative podcast about the 90s Aust alternative music scene. Keep it up!
Fessanator via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/06/24
A nostalgia trip but it wasn’t that long ago, was it? Not only a tribute and labour of love but importantly curating Oz musical history of the 90s. The episode on You Am I was a ‘ball tearer’. We’re so lucky to have experienced the era, witness some of these instances with our own eyes. D,...Read full review »

Brillant podcast
travelfoosh via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 12/14/23
Love this podcast. Really well researched, well presented and plays the music he talks about, (something never guaranteed in podcast land). Also appreciate the confidence it’s presented with. Doesn’t try to be funny and totally avoids that self depreciation that Australians can sometimes try to...Read full review »

A really well researched podcast covering the Australian alternative music scene of the 90’s, which for those of us who lived it was a formative, colourful, and vast experience. Danny does a great job and deserves more ears on this. Jump on in if you were there and if you weren’t, it’s a great...Read full review »

If you’re into Indy Aus music of the ‘90s this - is - it 👊
BGsevenThree via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/20/23
What a great podcast. So informativenad brings back oh so many great memories from the 90’s scene. Looking forward to the rest of the episodes, I have a feeling there’s going to be some crackers!! Danny does a great job presenting and must do so much research, it’s brilliant.
GCWarren via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/20/23
This is so nostalgic!! Danny makes me feel like such an amateur 90s music fan but I’m loving the education.
Coffees Purchased via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/19/23
Great history of the Australian music scene! My wife was the Art Director of Juice magazine and therefore I can confirm the accuracy of the episode on that ground breaking magazine - this guy knows his stuff !
Db7GTgrigio via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/18/23
Polished, informative and a great trip back to the 90’s when I was young and free! 😀

I’m turning 50 next year & this is made for me!! It’s making me get out all my old CDs & create playlists on Spotify from all the music I forgot that I adored!! Lemon Heads, The clouds, rat cat, You am I, Regurgitator! Waiting patiently for rock magazines where a huge part of this too. I...Read full review »

Thanks for such a great podcast. Enjoying highlights of the great music stuff we all lived and loved, so much of which is now sadly gone. Our culture. Music stores, street press, bonus discs etc. I’m not even an indie fan but loving stepping back to all that beautiful scene that I wish would come...Read full review »

Very well researched and insightful podcast that is genuine and created from the perspective of somebody who was there to live it and captures the essence of the time perfectly . Well played !

OMG! How how good was todays episode about Frente! I hope Angie Hart’s ears are burning and she comes on the show to be interviewed by you! I didn’t even remember being such a big Frente fan, but after hearing the back story in the podcast and hearing all their songs the memories just kept coming...Read full review »

Great podcast! Highly recommend. Podcast host, Danny, is easy to listen to & has researched extremely well. Love how the podcast has been put together.

A well researched and loved period of time in Australian music. This is the music of my teens and early 20s.
Locuts13 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/17/23
This podcast is just great ! It doesn’t matter if you’re into 90’s Australian alternative music or what. It’s super interesting super exciting and the coverage is just superb. Danny is a great narrator and takes you on to a journey back to a border breaking music era.
Punk Monica Explosion via Apple Podcasts · Sweden · 01/28/23
Such a detailed snapshot of a pivotal time in Australian music culture told with personal perspective and passion. Can’t wait for the You Am I ep!
kirvis84 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/18/23
Bravo Danny … can I go back and live it all again please?
Eug8 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/10/23
I stumbled across this gem of a podcast while looking for something else, and was dragged back into my youth (and the period just before I discovered alternative music as a country lad)! Danny’s research and story telling is on point, with great anecdotes and humor injected throughout. Trivia...Read full review »

It’s the trip back in time that I didn’t know I was craving. So good.

Found my face aching while listening to this & realised I was grinning like a fool. Absolutely brilliant stuff (though Ratcat suck and always have)

So thorough So comprehensive So objective So passionate So good

With not a single ad to interrupt you, season 1 is the perfect escape over a few lazy summer days. Let’s all do our bit to keep season 2 ad-free by supporting him with whatever coin you can spare!

Excited to be going to see The Clouds soon, I stumbled across this and have loved reminiscing about nights at the Annandale, Hopetoun, Strawberry Hills, Selina’s, etc etc. Thanks Danny - so well researched and compiled. Looking forward to season 2!

First time I’ve heard of Danny Yau, won’t be my last! As a Gen Zer who never got to live through the bliss of Australian alternative like the 90s, I’m silently screaming as I listen to every episode which feels more and more like grandpa’s embrace. What a legend Danny is for making this podcast,...Read full review »

Brilliant trip down memory lane. For anyone who started listening to music in the nineties this is a well researched and insightful exposition of the era. So many great bands but also the other media we used pre internet- ie street mags and Rage.
GordsGords via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 12/11/22
Top marks to Danny for enthusiasm and research. But he seems a bit too young to have fully experienced the 90s music scene first hand. The late 90s was very different to the early 90s. For lots of this stuff it really helps if you were there. So it’s somewhat a 2nd hand account of the 90s, and...Read full review »

This is such a walk down memory lane, and at the same time this podcast is opening my eyes to so many things I didn't know or overlooked at the time. Thoroughly researched and also just fun. Thanks Danny for taking the time to create this wonderful podcast us all!Read full review »

Fantastic history of the scene in the 90s, so many great bands and insight into the scene.

Also nice to hear Danny’s personal experience of the scene. Entertaining and enjoyable. Great work.

Yep, that’s exactly how I remember it.

Have just started listening to this podcast, and absolutely love it, and discovering bands to enjoy.

As an ex-pat Pom of a certain age who emigrated to Brisbane in 2010, I had no idea about the rich and fabulous indie music scene that existed in Australia in the 90s. A terrific podcast full of brilliant music and engaging presenter who clearly knows his stuff! My playlists are now groaning under...Read full review »

Love the pod! Tight detailed research and embraces the personal story of the podcaster. It takes me back to my early 20s and all the bands that I forgot about after throwing out my cds. Enjoy every episode
