Kieran Lama is the drummer and founding member of Spacey Jane, one of Australia’s most successful indie rock exports of the past decade. Originally formed in Western Australia, the band has grown from playing backyard shows in Fremantle to selling out iconic venues across North America, including Brooklyn Steel, First Avenue, The Fillmore, and the 9:30 Club.

Alongside his role in the band, Kieran also works in artist management and has played a key role in navigating Spacey Jane’s international growth alongside setting the pace for soon-to-be global headliners Phoebe Go and Polly. Fresh off major festival appearances and an expanding presence in the US, he joins Adam today from Hollywood, California, to talk about building an Australian band from the ground up and taking it to the world.

Hatchie is the project of Harriette Pilbeam, an Australian artist blending dreamy shoegaze textures with shimmering pop melodies. After breaking through with her debut album Keepsake in 2019, she returned with Giving The World Away in 2022, expanding her sound into something more expansive and emotionally raw. Known for her lush, immersive live shows and unmistakable sonic palette, Hatchie has built a global following and continues to carve out her own space in the indie pop landscape. She joins Adam today here in sunny Hollywood, California.

We kick off 2026 with Charlie Needs Braces. Charlie Needs Braces is a combination of Charlie and her sister, Miri. They are GuriNgai people now living down in Melbourne. The duo released their first EP in 2022, and last year saw them double down with the release of their second full-length album, NYAA WA. They've already won an Upstart Award and the Archie Roach Award, and join Adam today here in sunny Hollywood California.
