Kisschasy Are Back: The Reunion

They’re not just back - they’re stepping straight onto a monster lineup. In this episode, Kisschasy break down what it means to return after 15+ years and land on a tour with two of the biggest pop-punk exports of the 2000s: Good Charlotte and Yellowcard. Key sits down with Darren Cordeux and Joel Vanderuit from Kisschasy to talk about: * Reuniting with the original lineup * Going from burnout to a full-scale comeback * Sharing a stage with international heavyweights * The pressure (and nostalgia) of playing the songs that defined a generation * What fans can expect from the live show For anyone who grew up on the MySpace era, Vans Warped energy, and mid-2000s festival chaos — this lineup hits different. This isn’t just a reunion. It’s a full-circle moment. #CreativeCreaturesPodcast #Kisschasy #GoodCharlotte #Yellowcard #PopPunk #AustralianMusic #BandReunion #MusicPodcast #WarpedTourEra #LiveMusic

Frenzal Rhomb: The Doctor AKA Lindsay McDougall

Lindsay McDougall - aka The Doctor - guitarist of Aussie punk institution Frenzal Rhomb joins Key for a sharp, funny and surprisingly thoughtful chat about surviving three decades in a band that was never meant to be this organised. We get into the bizarre science-textbook origin of the name Frenzal Rhomb, how the band has stayed tight for 30+ years, and why enjoying each other’s company has mattered more than chasing industry approval. Lindsay opens up about songwriting, running workshops with young musicians, and why creativity rarely shows up the way you expect it to. There’s also classic Frenzal energy - harbour cruise gigs, chaos at sea, and stories that prove punk rock is still very much alive.

Nathan Phillips (Wolf Creek, Snakes on a Plane)

In his first and only podcast appearance, Nathan Phillips opens up about a career shaped by instinct, experience, and a genuine love of cinema. From his breakout role in Wolf Creek, to international projects like Snakes on a Plane, and defining Australian films including Australian Rules, Balibo, These Final Hours, Takeaway and more, Nathan reflects on a career that’s moved naturally between Australian and international screens. With projects like Badlands Rising, The Comedian, and The Beast in Me on the way, he also talks about how acting has changed - what it was like coming up then, how the industry feels now, and what still matters to him as a performer. Along the way, he’s always chosen life, authenticity, and adventure alongside the work. We talk beginnings, career decisions, the stories picked up along the road, and why he still loves doing what he does best. A rare, relaxed conversation with an actor who values living fully just as much as he values the craft.

360 (Matt Colwell) Addiction.Fame.Faith

360 - Matt Colwell From the early days of Aussie hip hop to festival-level fame, this is the unfiltered story of 360.   360 (Matt Colwell) talks to Key about the beginnings - From starting in a rock band to breaking through with Festival Song, rising alongside his best mate Pez, and riding the wave of huge tours, parties, attention and expectation. On the outside it looked like success. Behind the scenes, it was chaos. Addiction, burnout and self-destruction quietly took hold until everything eventually collapsed.   In this episode, 360 opens up about hitting rock bottom, going to rehab, and the unexpected path that followed — faith, church, and rebuilding his life from the ground up. We talk honestly about the personal shift that saw him go from writing Boys Like You - a song built around casual sex and excess - to choosing no sex at all until marriage. Matt also addresses the long-rumoured Triple J fallout. He shares his perspective on being effectively blacklisted, how his views sharpened after the COVID era, and why he believes the station isn’t about the music anymore — plus what that’s meant for his career and creative freedom. This is a raw, reflective conversation about fame, identity, addiction, belief, and what happens when the party ends - and you’re left to work out who you actually are.
