Sarah shared a beautiful message about her kids for Mother's Day. New Music Friday delivered as always. Katseye stopped by fresh from Taronga Zoo and 12 hours of sleep to chat Coachella, their upcoming EP Wild, and the fact that they are genuinely terrible at short answers. Angus and Julia Stone came in to perform their brand new song live, accidentally named our brand new segment Karaoke Bar Fridays in the process, and confirmed an Australian tour for 2027. Caller of the Week wrapped things up. Happy Mother's Day to all the mums listening.

Angus and Julia Stone come in to perform their brand new song live, making them the very first guests on Karaoke Bar Fridays, a segment that didn't have a name until they walked in and accidentally suggested it. The song was written in a stunning Paris studio about a year and a half ago and they hadn't actually rehearsed it together before coming in because Angus had been in Japan. We also find out Julia does Jagged Little Pill at karaoke for the catharsis, Angus does Wicked Games because of course he does, and an Australian tour is being planned for 2027. We are not angry about it. Okay we are a little.

Katseye stop by fresh from a day off at Taronga Zoo, 12 hours of sleep and the kind of reset that touring life never usually allows. They talk Coachella, where they rehearsed 12 hours a day until every moment was second nature, cried watching Carol G, and finally got to have that holy shit I'm really here moment on the actual stage. They also reveal they are terrible at short answers, which tracks given the entire interview. A new EP is coming in August and an Australian tour is being manifested in real time. Also Tim cannot dance and Katseye prescribed yoga and not looking in a mirror. We are taking notes.

Rove McManus stops by ahead of his show Tomorrow Night at the Grand Electric, a celebration of 25 years on Australian television featuring clips, stories and audience questions. He reveals he used to handwrite thank you cards to every single guest who appeared on Rove Live, and Ricki found hers in a box of memories while moving house. Beyoncé did not get one. He also tells the story of going backstage after her concert expecting VIP access and being turned away at the door, which is deeply relatable. Taskmaster is also on Channel 10 tonight featuring Rove and Joel Creasey, who Rove describes as watching a newborn duckling waddle around every single day.

Billie Eilish joins us for a chat when she was here for her Hit Me Hard And Soft Tour in Australia. She opens up about being sure of herself from a young age (even if teenage Billie didn’t have it all figured out), her hyperfixation on music and visuals, and the weirdness of playing Sydney clubs at 15 — too young to be in the audience, but old enough to be on stage. Plus, Billie gets a sweet gift from Tim’s daughter!
