Spit Syndicate and Horrorshow both released two singles from their upcoming albums, with the latter also embarking on a huge national tour with B Wise and Omar Musa. The Meeting Tree also played their last ever show at Splendour In The Grass in July, while Raph Lauren rebranded himself to Yves Saint Lauraph. Power moves all round!
As a collective, their One Day Block Party also hit most capital cities as well as regional towns, and come January, it’ll be coming back to its birthplace of Sydney. Anyone who attended One Day Sundays knows that these lads can throw one hell of a box social, and it’ll all be poppin’ once more on January 14 at the spacious Greenwood Hotel in North Sydney.
One Day’s in-house selectors will be joined by an all-star cast including the Serbian wonder Nes, Newcastle’s own Jayteehazard, upstanding trio GIRLS, Triple J’s Shantan Wantan Ichiban and block party favourite Klasik. Tickets for the One Day pop-up party are well on their way to selling out – grab yours right here.
As One Day will be starting 2017 right with their hometown event, we asked the crew to name their new year’s resolutions. As always, they’ve provided some truly insightful and inspiring words to outline their ambitions for the next 12 months. Read below, and we’ll see you all on January 14:
No mercy for gronks. Be the best dressed big cheeky boy.
I used to think that the most important thing in life was earning money, now I realise that spending it is far more important. In 2017 I will spend more money.
2017 is to my enemies as 2016 was to legends of rock.

My new year’s resolution is to spend more time with nature. I might buy a big boat.
So many people worry these days about using the new year as a time to change and grow. My life is built around constant reflection, plus I don’t subscribe to the traditional Gregorian calendar.
I wanna be a better DJ than Lupi by Q2.
Pack light, stunt heavy.
