There are 2 bands called UB40. With brothers from the same family. And they don't talk. It's pretty awkward.
in music, ABC Radio, blogpost, Interviews
So, you know the classic 80's hits, right? I Got U Babe, Red Red Wine etc etc (and yes, they literally have their own brand of wine) Well here's the thing. Earlier this week I had the original lead singer Ali Campbell from the iconic Birmingham reggae troupe on ABC Radio. And I brought up the idea that there is, in fact *another* touring UB40 which is technically the *original* version of the band which Campbell left in 2008. He calls this other version "The Dark Side" even though at least 2 of his brothers are in it. The whole situation is very, very odd and I'll let Ali explain...

The Price of K-Pop Stardom: JJCC's Prince Mak
in Interviews, music, SBS, The Feed
Never in a million years would I have truly understood the work ethic that goes into being a pop star until I sat down with Henry "Prince" Mak. Mak had a fairly normal childhood growing up in western Sydney. And then, he ran away to China to try his hand at the music world. Now better known as Prince Mak - one fifth of K-pop group JJCC - the 25-year-old has a profoundly life from the one he left behind in Australia.
