Ep. 65 - Luke Steele (Empire Of The Sun/H3000)

'The Bottom Of It' with Joshua Moriarty

Luke Steele knows how to create magic. From his accomplished work in the early 2000’s with The Sleepy Jackson to the grandiosity of Empire Of The Sun and the bold musical exploration and experimentation of his project Dreams with Daniel Johns from Silverchair, Luke has written some absolute first class tunes that contain that inexplicable quality which transcends language and trend and resonates with people of all ages. His new project H3000 is a collaboration with producer Jarrad Rogers and is a meritorious continuation of Luke’s musical journey. We talk about Luke’s new bushman beard and his bear-proofing skills, waiting for the right musical calling, ignoring the fear of people’s opinions, meeting Rocky and a bunch more.
