The Steady As She Goes: Live at The Bearded Lady, West End, 26 October 2019 The Steady As She Goes is the solo project of Brisbane musician and occasional music journalist Tal Wallace. After the dissolution of his band The Smokestack Orchestra, Wallace began making music on his own as The Steady As She Goes in 2012 with a series of drum machines, guitar effects pedals and his own unmistakably deep voice. A highly prolific artist, Wallace has released a long string of EPs and albums, the latest full-length being 2019's "Symmetry". He was also previously featured on Live Delay in episode 146 back in 2015, a performance at The Triffid that was later released as the live album "Blind Cave Things".

Recorded by Matthew Malone & Scott Mercer Mixed by Sam Louis Michael Beach & The Artists: Live at Sonic Masala Fest, Greenslopes Bowls Club, 17 August 2019 Michael Beach is originally from the town of Merced in central California.

Timi Temple: Live at Greaser, Fortitude Valley, 21 November 2019 Timi Timple is a committed DIY musician who runs his own ship and puts out a consistent string of releases from his home base in Sydney. Since 2017 he has released the "PHUZZ BOY EP" and a dozen singles, the latest of which, "Fa-Fa-Fading" came out in April. While Timi writes, records and plays just about everything himself, he was backed on this tour by drummer Cat Hunter. A few backing tracks may also fill out the sound, but as you'll soon hear Timi's exuberant guitar playing is the real live deal, as is his charismatic ability to make friends with a rowdy new audience. This set is notable in that it was the first Live Delay recorded at Fortitude Valley's Greaser bar, which before the COVID-19 lockdown was a popular dive-style watering hole beneath the Elephant Hotel popular with local punters due to its regular live gigs and free entry.

Mum's Tennis Friends: Live at The Bearded Lady, West End, 19 January 2020 Mum’s Tennis Friends is a project comprised of members of Dopamine, Harry Wall and Eliza & The Delusionals. The band formed in mid-2018, when lead singer Ruby Lee deferred university and was looking to create a new project different to her usual bass-playing gigs. This set you're about to hear was from a bushfire benefit at The Bearded Lady that raised over $1000 for the Animal Rescue Collective and the Red Cross, and was originally supposed to be the band's last. Ruby Lee also plays bass in Eliza & The Delusionals, who had an extensive tour of the United States booked from February to May. When the COVID-19 pandemic shut down music venues across America in March, the tour was cut short. Lee has since regrouped and redefined Mum's Tennis Friends as a recording project and a new single is expected to be released within the next few weeks.

The band's debut, self-titled EP was released in 2016 and was a live recording of interpretations of song from the history of film. Their debut album from 2019, also self-titled, showcased both original material and a few older standards. While normally a six-piece, this set recorded at Yonder Festival's Wunderbar Stage featured the band as a slightly stripped-down four-piece, with Jo Davies on vocals, Gareth Mewes on violin and Rory Dollard and Conor McDonald on guitars. Recorded by Lauren Holyoak Mixed by Joseph McCormack This set was mixed by an audio production student from the Queensland University of Technology as part of their course.

Laura Imbruglia: Live at The Bearded Lady, West End, 10 May 2019 Melbourne-based singer-songwriter Laura Imbruglia began on her path in music with the release of the witty, folky EP "It Makes A Crunchy Noise" in 2003. Since then her music has taken elements from many genres including alt-country, indie-pop, punk-rock and shoegaze, all the while retaining her particular dry sense of humour from her self-titled debut in 2006 to "The Lighter Side of..." in 2010 and "What A Treat" in 2013. Since then she has produced two seasons of the variety webseries Amateur Hour, featuring all manner of segments such as artist interviews, music, comedy skits and cooking tips. In late 2017 Imbruglia was selected for a Bundanon Trust songwriting residency in rural New South Wales, where she wrote the majority of what would become her fourth album, "Scared Of You". It was at the Brisbane launch of that album that this set was recorded. Recorded by Nell Forster & Scott Mercer Mixed by Zac Womal Special thanks to live enginee
