<br />A five-year sojourn that culminated in one of Australia’s finest-hip hop releases this year, The Out Of Money Experience has been robustly received. Triple J’s Hip Hop Show made it their ‘Album Of The Week’ as did 3d World (Sydney), Zebra (Mel) and Zebra (Bris) saying:
<br />
<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic;">“The Brisbane group’s long-awaited sophomore record is the kind of meticulously crafted listening experience which could only be sculpted with a significant allotment of time and dedication. It’s also a remarkably consistent and enjoyable Australian hip hop album. In short – it’s amazing. You should get it.”</span>
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">‘Album Of The Week’ – Matt O’Neill, Zebra Brisbane / Zebra Melbourne and 3D World</span>
<br />
<br />With the album debuting at #37 in the Australian ARIA Urban charts – the response across the board was emphatic:
<br />
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">“This is quality start to end.”</span>
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Shane Scott, Onion Magazine</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">“In a move that goes against the guns, bitches and bling attitude often found in modern hip hop, The OPees show they really are more about mic checks than paycheques.”</span>
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Nils Hay, Rave Magazine</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">“Aussie Hip Hop, and a good exponent of it. Obviously lyrically driven, with great understanding and a perfect mix. Samples and beats drive the many and varied stories the boys tell. A new addition to the mix to get bodies grooving.”</span>
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">ZEDblog</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">“The Boomtown boys are finally back ... if you were a fan of their upbeat bass lines and rowdy rhymes The Out Of Money Experience still delivers.”</span>
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Beat Magazine</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">“Despite the occasionally sober lyrical content – and don't mistake that for criticism, as I'd much rather hear hip-hop that discusses real issues, as opposed to self-aggrandising hyperbole – The Optimen's overarching optimistic attitude is the biggest take-away from The Out Of Money Experience.”</span>
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Andrew McMillen, The Vine</span>

<br />Though the title might sound like a desperate plea for help in these trying times of economic uncertainty or, more predictably, the ‘old as the ages’ cliché of the starving artist, The Out Of Money Experience is really anything but. This much-anticipated sophomore album by The Optimen (The OPees to their friends – and they will take all the friends they can get) is the result of work: hard work.
<br />
<br />Featuring some of their favourite emcees, both from Australia (Tommy Ill, The Archetypes, Pure Product, Adverse, Lazy Grey and Rainman), two international legends in the field – Jehst (UK), Phil The Agony (USA) – and local Brisvocalists Laneous (Mr Laneous) and Kel (The Kelly Gang), The Out Of Money Experience is galvanized by its strength of guest appearances, not stirred into a turbulence by them as can be the case.
<br />
<br />The Out Of Money Experience displays a far greater diversity of sounds and assortments of instruments than ever before heard on an Optimen record, but the album isn’t only advanced and progressive in terms of its production values and musicality. It is also the most diverse work that The Optimen have released topically.
<br />
<br />Indeed, for The Optimen, the last five years in the culmination up to this sophomore release have been a journey of epic proportions – and for the listener that’s what The Out Of Money Experience brings – it’s a journey.

<br /></div>
<br />Some bands come along that are family-friendly; you can buy their CDs as presents for your mother, play their music in shopping centres, or as background music at all-ages family get-togethers. The Good Ship are NOT that band.
<br />
<br />Drawing inspiration from fellow denizens of the deep like Nick Cave, The Decemberists and The Pogues, The Good Ship’s tunes do somewhat explore the seedier side of humanity somewhat.
<br />

<br />
<br />For the success that The Good Ship has so far garnered, it’s still a strikingly new vessel. Seeded when John Meyer and Daz Gray caught up one night back in 2009, bitching and moaning about the state of their own respective bands at the time. As the night wore on they started swapping songs and soon realised they had a whole album’s worth of material. They gathered together a motley collection of musicians, and the rest is a history still being written.
<br />
<br />No one realized it would happen quite so quickly though. With a devastating live show, risqué lyrics and more ‘in-your-end-o’ than innuendo, the band quickly gained punters’ attention, but it was the rich layers of folk, rock, country and pop textures that kept people coming back for more. After little more than a year, they’re already filling venues right across the east coast.
<br />
<br />The Good Ship’s calling card has been a willingness to lyrically engage themselves in not oft covered subject matter, coupled with a pop sensibility strewn across blindingly infectious sing along melodies.
<br />
<br />But there’s a poignant side to The Good Ship that can be missed if taken at face value. There’s a lot here for anyone willing to scratch the surface a little, as without looking past first impressions it’s easy to miss where these songs are really coming from. 18 When You’re 44 for example could be easily perceived as Daz Gray taking a jab at ‘cougars’, and in some ways it certainly is. But as with all good songs, it’s a lot closer to home than that, as he himself explains: “It’s primarily about my Mum. When I was 15 we moved to a small country town in central western NSW called Grenfell. On the few occasions that my Dad was actually working Mum would get tarted up and go to the pub. No one would actually admit to having sex with her but suffice to say, it was known she was up for it & didn’t have any issues with putting out. She was a mother of six after all.”
<br />
<br />Another example is the Gray penned track 6000 Cocks which approaches the oldest profession from an interesting angle, as Gray explains: “I’ve worked in a shop for quite a few years, my day job. One of the girls I work with used to work as a prostitute – she’d fill me in with the many stories from her brothel days and one night estimated that she must have seen approximately 8000 penises during her working life, but because she had a lot of repeat customers it was probably actually closer to 6000 different members. She is still a good friend and actually now calls ‘6000 Cocks’ her song, which is quite lovely really.”
<br />
<br />The Good Ship is not testosterone-fuelled teenage bawd, the songs are more late-night SBS than internet-porn. Indeed the mature sexual nature of their lyrics has seen The Good Ship harbour as many female fans as male.
<br />
<br />So from the profane to the macabre, says Meyer; “unless you’re one of those easily offended wowsers that like to call the ABC to complain about boobies, it might be worth sticking around to explore the deeper side of the Good Ship. You may quite possibly even be a happier human being for it.”

<br /><span style="font-style: italic;"> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Undulating Tales Of Woe & Intrigue</span></span>
<br /></div>
<br />Featuring 12 “Undulating Tales of Woe and Intrigue,” the Good Ships debut album ‘Avast! Wretched Sea’ hits shelves Monday July 5th through Autumn Recordings. Recorded over a long hot summer with Neil Coombe (John Steel Singers, Go Betweens) and Janie Trevaskis (Wilson Pickers, Texas Tea) it’s a triumph of dark, sweaty heaving beauty, featuring the Good Ship’s trademark blend of sweet melodies and debauched lyrics.
<br />
<br />Track one and first single ‘A Harbour Fair’ is already racking up strong radio-play. By now a bit of a ‘theme song’ for the band, it’s a rollicking revelry that tells you everything you need to know about the Good Ship – without the swear words.
<br />
<br />Next up, inspired by the much loved classic tune from The Sound of Music, ‘These Are A Few Of My Favourite Flings’ offers a series of vignettes, a perverted laundry list of past sexual exploits. Some of the seedy characters populating the song (apart from the songwriters...) include a tattooed punk, a prim and proper Christian lady, and a transvestite. It may or may not be autobiographical...
<br />
<br />‘Sea Monster’ is a dark and stormy ballad that tells the tale of a wayward lad who sells his soul to the forces of evil, sacrificing his crew members in return for future glory and riches. The album takes a sonic left turn with the haunting classical guitar sounds of ‘6000 Cocks’. Telling the true story of a former prostitute, the song hints at the double edged sword of her profession, with the seedy world constantly beckoning her back to its dark attractions.
<br />
<br />Elsewhere, ‘Don’t Kiss Me With Your Lips’ is an all-out country hoedown that never fails to get the crowd jumping. In a strange mirroring of Olivia Newton-John’s ‘Let’s Get Physical’, it’s a weird kind of love song, with its female character imploring her man to stop being so sweet and lovely, and just give her what she wants.
<br />
<br />‘Tavern Song’ is just that: a song for a tavern. It’s the story of a man who just can’t tear himself away from the pub. ‘No Shortage Of Company’ is one of those songs that creeps up on you slowly and works its way in deep. With a soft and haunting jazz club vibe, the song speaks of the conflict between a heart that wants to go one way, but is pulled another by the temptations of the flesh.
<br />
<br />Written by the Good Ship’s former accordionist Brett before following his heart to Canada early this year, ‘Bury Me’ is an old style country gospel sing-along, a heart wrenching call and response between a dying man and those that have gone before him.
<br />
<br />‘I Can Make Her Laugh’ is perhaps the most melodically gifted track on the album, perfectly encapsulating The Good Ship’s ability to combine sweet sounds with debauched lyrics. In a way the sister track to ‘Don’t Kiss Me With Your Lips’ it’s all about strong women and wimpy guys. The creepy and disturbing track ‘Cut Off My’ creates a Silence of the Lambs vibe as its sadistic tale slowly builds to a devastating crescendo.
<br />
<br />The aching ‘Last Song Of The Night’ is the perfect closer. Refined, resolved and offering an antidote to some of the questionable content that precedes, it tells of the lonely and solitary life of the performer.
<br />
<br />In all, it’s an album that deals with the topics many have experienced or may be able to relate too in some fashion, without removing the spice that makes life enjoyable.

<br /></div>
<br /><div style="text-align: center;">Live, The Good Ship are a seething maelstrom of decadent musicality, with 8 to 9 members on stage at any one time and a whole heap of archaic instrumentation from mandola, lagerphone, fiddle and trumpet to accordion. This sense of joy and anarchy hasn’t been lost on audiences and after only a year on the scene the band have gathered a substantial loyal following. To celebrate the release of their debut album, The Good Ship are hitting the road this June/July to take their collection of saucy tunes to the nation. Get on board when The Good Ship play:

<br />
<br />Drawing inspiration from fellow denizens of the deep like Nick Cave, The Decemberists and The Pogues, The Good Ships tune’s explore the seedier side of humanity.
<br />
<br />Since forming only 12 months ago, their rousing live shows have seen them quickly snag a strong fan base and score some sought-after supports in their hometown of Brisbane including Skipping Girl Vinegar and Mick Thomas (Weddings, Parties, Anything). While risqué lyrics certainly grab the punters’ attention, it’s the rich layers of folk, rock, country and pop textures that keep them coming back for more.
<br />
<br />The Good Ship’s debut single 'A Harbour Fair' is a rousing singalong that tells the story of a band of sailors headed for shore after a long journey, eager for the triple delights of booze, ladies and gambling that await them in their Harbour Fair. Pursuing whales across the waves these past thirty days, the lads are well ready to hit solid ground.
<br />
<br />The single is the first off the Good Ship’s debut album 'Avast! Wretched Sea'. The album, recorded over a long hot summer with Neil Coombe (John Steel Singers, Go Betweens) and Jamie Trevaskis (Wilson Pickers, Texas Tea), is a triumph of dark, sweaty, heaving beauty, featuring the Good Ship’s trademark blend of sweet melodies and debauched lyric.
<br />
<br />Live, The Good Ship are a seething maelstrom of decadent musicality, with 8 to 9 members on stage at any one time and a whole heap of archaic instrumentation from mandola, lagerphone, fiddle and trumpet to accordion. This sense of joy and anarchy hasn’t been lost on audiences and after only a year on the Brisbane scene the band have gathered a substantial loyal following. The Good Ship will be touring east coast Australia through May / June to support the release of 'A Harbour Fair'.

<br /></p><p style="text-align: left;" class="MsoNormal">Named after their favourite St Kilda café, four piece Adelaide based Indie-rock band Galleon was born in mid 2008.</p><p style="text-align: left;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><p style="text-align: left;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal">Says frontman Nick Deegan<i> “we were recording a bunch of songs in Melbourne with the four of us, and we still didn’t have a name. During these recording sessions I would leave the studio to write lyrics at this local café called galleon. We had a bunch of potential names, but Galleon ended up feeling like the most appropriate</i>.”</p><p style="text-align: left;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><p style="text-align: left;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><p style="text-align: left;" class="MsoNormal">With drummer Ryan Robinson, bassist Tim Anderson and guitarist Brad Iversen completing the line up, Galleon spent the best part of 2009 writing and recording what would be their debut release, a small collection of songs hand-picked out of roughly 30 other songs which were written alongside them.<i><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"> </span></i>The songs, which later this year will form the band’s debut album, were engineered and mixed by ARIA nominated Jimi Maroudas (Eskimo Joe, The Living End, The Little Stevies), and produced by Patrick ‘Patch’ Robertson, singer/songwriter of now defunct Australian rock band Motorace.<i><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"><o:p></o:p></span></i></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;" align="center"><o:p>
<br /></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;" align="center"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;" align="center">Explains Deegan<i> “we purposely gave ourselves time to record the album at our own pace, and hence the recording process was very chilled at times. I wrote the skeleton of one of our songs during a lunch break. Patch and I then recorded the bed track to this, and wrote the rest of the parts together over the remainder of the day.</i>”<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>
<br /></o:p></p> <p style="text-align: left;" class="MsoNormal">The first of these songs to fall on public ears is ‘Kamikaze’, a song schizophrenic in nature and a good first impression of galleon’s knack for light and shade.<span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"> </span>Says Deegan: “<i>Kamikaze to me is about transition of youth to adulthood and everything in between. Kamikaze was the word that best described the amount of new, cool and fucked up shit you go through in such a small period of your life, in that sometimes life is seamless and sometimes you crash and burn. Overall we live and learn…”</i><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"><o:p></o:p></span></p><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><p style="text-align: left;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p style="text-align: left;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p>
<br /></o:p></p><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><p style="text-align: left;" class="MsoNormal">Alongside the writing and recording, Galleon has taken time out to play a handful of shows between 2008 and now. Such shows have included Schutzenfest w/ the Galvatrons, Ed Castle w/ The young Heretics, The National Jack Daniels tour and the 2010 Clipsal 500 after race concert w/ British India and Eskimo Joe to name but a few.<o:p></o:p></p> <p style="text-align: left; font-weight: bold;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p style="text-align: left; font-weight: bold;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p>

Upon hearing his demo’s, producer Vicki Kerrigan said the lyrics were like ‘bedroom philosophy’. The announcers started calling him ‘The Bedroom Philosopher’ and the name stuck. As Justin himself says: “I’m glad, it’s better than the other name I was gonna go with - Damp Slacks”.<br /><br />In stores April 16th, Songs From The 86 Tram is the third studio album from The Bedroom Philosopher. A genre swapping LP that's as comedically profound as it is musically diverse, Songs From The 86 Tram is a full-blooded concept album about Melbourne’s iconic 86 tram route.<br /><br />Explains Heazlewood <span style="font-style: italic;">“I understand that some of the aspects of the album are specific to the</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">Melbourne area, but for anyone outside I can give you a crash course, a tram is when a bus and a</span><span style="font-style: italic;"> train have sex, and the train smokes during pregnancy.”</span><br /><br />The album was crafted from writer / performer Heazlewood’s (Frankie magazine, John Safran's 'Race Relations') award winning Melbourne International Comedy Festival show of the same name, which won the ‘Director’s Choice’ award in 2009 and the Green Room award for ‘Best Production’ in 2010. To help turn the show into an album, in the studio he enlisted the help of producer Chris Scallan (Avalanches, Akon, Cut Copy), Harry Angus (The Cat Empire) on brass, and his hipster slayin band The Awkwardstra. The album was mastered by Greg Calbi of New York's Stirling Studios whos credits include David Bowie, John Lennon and Bob Dylan.<br /><br />From the lamington lament of Middle Aged Mum to the scenester satire of triple J hit Northcote (So Hungover), Songs from the 86 Tram sees Heazlewood masterfully construct twelve different personas, which each then receive their own unique musical treatment. From Aussie hip-hop, to indie-shoegaze, piano ballad and yacht rock to spoken word and prog-folk, every genre gets its turn. Each song is a story, told by a different character. Think Paul Kelly meets Flight Of The Conchords.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">“This album is an exercise in character exploration. In comedy, bogans get made fun of all the time, and old people and junkies are all easy targets. I was interested in also taking on demographics that are rarely satirised in any way. Indie muso’s, wanky artists, middle aged women and refugees all get a mention. The 86 tram is what you get if you cross a rollercoaster and a psychiatric hospital so this album is basically ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’ for people watching. This CD holds a mirror up to society - I mean literally, I often use the CD to do my hair on the tram.”</span><br /><br />Currently receiving rotation on triple J, FBI and Austereo’s Radar Radio - hit single Northcote (So Hungover) is the first time someone has captured the 'nu Australian' accent. From beneath the safety of a long fringe, our antagonist protagonist 'uh's' and 'ya's' his way through the exploits of his band. ‘Inpress single of the week’ Tram Inspector has also made a splash on radio and at live shows. Prompting comparisons to Beck and Bowie, the song casts light on the surprisingly sexual overtones of copping a fine. We Are Tramily is an authentically banging Aussie hip-hop track, complete with sitars, (a timely pro-Indian salute) whilst In My Day (Nan) is a Python-channelling comedy classic.<br /><br /><object width="100%" height="81"> <param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fheapsawill%2Fthe_bedroom_philosopher-northcote_so_hungover"> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"> <embed allowscriptaccess="always" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fheapsawill%2Fthe_bedroom_philosopher-northcote_so_hungover" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%" height="81"></embed> </object> <span><a href="http://soundcloud.com/heapsawill/the_bedroom_philosopher-northcote_so_hungover">The Bedroom Philosopher - 'Northcote (So Hungover)'</a> by <a href="http://soundcloud.com/heapsawill">HeapsaWill</a></span><br /><br />There’s Trishine - the bogan love song with its timeless “words can get f**ked” refrain, Man On A Tram - a blisteringly simple piece of Dr Suess brilliance and live favourite New Media - which lifts the macbook lid on the stadium sized ambitions of the Melbourne arts scene. Final track of the album Old Man At End sees a reflective old man with a hipflask prepare to check in with ‘the big tram inspector in the sky.’ It’s Khe Sahn meets Radiohead.<br /><br />Songs From The 86 Tram captures The Bedroom Philosopher’s unashamedly dense lyricism. From the inner monologue of a hopeful Sudanese refugee to the charmingly cynical diatribes of a marooned Irish backpacker, The Bedroom Philosopher treats each of his protagonists with intellect and empathy. Songs from the 86 Tram is resolutely Australian: “ I kind of resent the bombardment of American and British culture I had all through my childhood. Growing up in Burnie in Tasmania was a very isolating experience – I didn’t own an Australian album until I went to Uni. So from that angle I try and over correct by making my stuff capture a flavour that is uniquely Australian. You tend to get a lot of people banging on about ‘focus on the UK and US markets, don’t make it too localised’ blah blah, so with 86 Tram I went, ‘oh yeah, how about a concept album about Melbourne tram culture. Sell that’. Oh, I’m sure if Sufjan Stephens did it about the New York subway system we’d all be creaming our cardigans.”<br /><br />Songs From The 86 Tram follows in the footsteps of The Bedroom Philosopher’s previous hits I’m So Postmodern (JJJ's Hottest 100 - 2006), Folkstar and Golden Gaytime, his ironic wit-hot comedy finding him a cozy niche on Triple J and community radio Australia wide, performing everywhere from The Melbourne International Comedy Festival to the Big Day Out.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Random fact #278 - The Bedroom Philosopher holds the world record for the longest continuous singing of John Farnham’s ‘You’re The Voice’. Heazlewood: </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">“I sung it for 9 hours. I intended to go for 12 but I got bored in the end. It was a publicity stunt. I like the idea of endurance performance. In the end my voice held out fine but my wrist got RSI from all the strumming. The best thing about it was I had the lyrics on a sheet in front of me, and after nine hours, I still didn’t know the lyrics, as if my brain was rejecting them. Channel 7 came down to film it and I was the odd spot at the end of the news that night – but they said I was promoting the Melbourne Comedy Festival and didn’t mention my show at all. The lesson is, never try.”</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Shows</span></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />Solo national tour dates have just been announced for April / May:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Wednesday April 28 – The Front Café, Canberra</span><br />2 Wattle St, Lyneham - (02) 6249 8453<br />Doors 8pm. $12 (door sales only)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">SYDNEY COMEDY FESTIVAL</span><br />Thursday April 29 – The Vanguard, Sydney<br />Doors 6:30PM The Vanguard, 42 King St, Newtown | Bookings <a href="http://www.sydneycomedyfest.com.au/">sydneycomedyfest.com.au</a> 02 9020 6966<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Friday April 30 - View Factory, Newcastle.</span><br />8pm.

The festival was established in 2001 by local Inala elders in partnership with Brisbane City Council as a way of instilling their youth with pride in themselves, their community and their culture.<br /><br />It now attracts crowds from across Queensland in excess of 15 000 each year, and has grown to become Australia's largest Indigenous Hip Hop and R&B music and dance event that celebrates youth and contemporary Indigenous culture.<br /><br />Produced with and for young people in Brisbane and across Queensland, Stylin' Up is also an award winning, nationally lauded contemporary Indigenous creative arts development program (winning the 2004 Premier of QLD award and the National Reconciliation Award in 2008). One of Stylin UP's key outcomes has been the fostering of a mutual respect between the South West Brisbane corridor Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community and the Brisbane City Council. The collaboration has been declared a rare success, because of its long term commitment to the community and reconciliation.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Kelvin Lui</span> (Project Officer from Inala elders and Community member) explains, <span style="font-style: italic;">“Such collaboration between Indigenous community and government is rare. Stylin UP has worked because it wasn't a one off, it has been a commitment to the long term and ultimately - a positive step towards reconciliation and connecting young people to peace and long term resolution.”<br /></span><br />Stylin' Up's mantra Pride in SELF / Pride in COMMUNITY / Pride in CULTURE, emphasises its commitment to young Indigenous people to take a positive step towards personal and social change, which ultimately contributes to community change. Stylin UP has been developed within a community development framework including a large workshop program facilitated by leading local artists in the run up to the event each year. The workshops run in local schools in the South West Brisbane Corridor as well as through a regional program facilitated by Human Ventures. These workshop programs nurture the next generation of artists as well as passing on the inherent values of Stylin UP no shame - step up and be proud; represent your culture and your community.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Stylin' UP breaks down the barriers between community and police and community and government and encourages young indigenous people to step up and grab opportunities and engage themselves in them. </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" ><br />Music</span><br /><br /><object width="580" height="360"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/YyRbRW9X-1o&hl=en_GB&fs=1&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999&border=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/YyRbRW9X-1o&hl=en_GB&fs=1&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="580" height="360"></embed></object><br /><br />Though not exclusively a music festival, Stylin’Up combines some of Australia’s finest Indigenous Hip Hop and R&B acts alongside a host of local and national emerging acts, providing Indigenous youth throughout the Inala district and greater Queensland, the power and support to express themselves artistically on a national level.<br /><br />Over the last ten years headliners have included <a href="http://www.jessicamauboy.com.au/">Jessica Mauboy</a>, <a href="http://www.christineanu.com.au/">Christine Anu</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/savagedkonz">Savage</a>, <a href="http://www.lastkinection.com/">Last Kinection</a> and many many more. This is combined with the aforementioned 'emerging artist' line up, many of whom have gone on to become headliners in their own right. Examples include locals <a href="http://www.myspace.com/indigenousintrudaz">Indigenous Intrudaz</a> - 2 local Inala MC's with a massive local following who have grown up alongside Stylin' UP playing every gig in its 10 year history."Stylin’ Up is basically like Christmas for us in Inala" laughs Indigenous Intrudaz MC Damien Bani. Indigenous Intrudaz won the won JB Seed Grant in 2008 and have just finished recording an album at the prestigious 301 Studios. Damien Bani also works as a producer on Stylin’ UP, one of his tasks is implementing the ‘emerging artist’ line up. Fellow Intruder MC Dougie Patrick also facilitates local Stylin’ Up workshops.<br /><br />Other examples are fellow locals <a href="http://www.myspace.com/banawurun">Banawurun</a>, who took out the 2006 Deadly Award for Band of the Year and <a href="http://www.myspace.com/impossibleodds">Impossible Odds</a> - emerging artists in 2007, Impossible Odds have since gone onto have a number of tracks receive high rotation on triple J.<br /><br />The Inala Community through the Stylin'Up Community Crew decide who performs at Stylin' Up each year. Their mantra in 2010 has been to support the local Inala and Queensland talent to shine for The 10th year anniversary Stylin' Up. The program this year will see many key performers from previous years asked to return celebrate and showcase their success.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" ><br />Workshops</span><br /><br />The Stylin’UP program also consists of an extensive workshop program. Workshop’s run for four to 6 months leading up to the festival in Brisbane and the South West Brisbane corridor, and year round throughout key regional Queensland Indigenous communities, including Logan, Cherbourg, Hopevale and Woorabinda.<br /><br />The workshop process is an integral part of Stylin' Up. Amongst many other things, it provides young people with routine through rehearsals and places an emphasis upon the importance of process and skill development. Nurturing and empowering the next generation.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Music and Dance:</span> Workshops in Music creation, beat production, lyric writing, streetfunk, breakdance and performance technique.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Ladeez Business:</span> A program of arts, cultural and skills development workshops, specifically for young women.

There are a multitude of performances and competitions right throughout the day. Workshops run prior to the event culminate in on the day performances. Whilst traditional dance groups feature alongside contemporary dance - many groups also incorporating unique qualities of their traditional dance in to contemporary dance formats.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Community</span></span><br /><br />Ultimately – though now of national significance, Stylin UP is all about community.

A five-time platinum and multiple Aria winning recording artist, Katie is in fine voice on Emperor’s Box, a dynamic piece comprising 13 personal, emotive works. Co-produced by Katie and Grammy Award-winning rock specialist Nick Didia (Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen, Stone Temple Pilots, Powderfinger), Emperor’s Box marks a return to some wonderful and familiar territory for Katie. Emperor’s Box is the sound of a confident, accomplished artist. It’s a lush and at times muscular affair, captured in the studio by a tight unit clearly at the peak of form. And of course, Katie’s vocals shine.<br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><br />“It feels like the best thing I’ve ever done,”</span> Katie says. <span style="font-style: italic;">“Music is about freedom for me, I’ve always followed my muse and been very lucky to be able go on and make different records. This is definitely the album I’m most proud of.”</span><br /><br />Over the last two and a half years Katie and ‘The Captains’ (Cameron Deyell – guitar, Stu Hunter – keys/bass, Declan Kelly – drums) have been slowly building a vessel of exciting, unique songs and they are very excited to be taking the new album on the road this June and playing these new tunes around the country.<br /><br />‘Emperor’s Box’ is a real return to form for Katie – back to her beloved lush, organic band sound and strong and inspiring personal stores and has been widely critically acclaimed, with <span style="font-weight: bold;">Rolling Stone Magazine’s 4 star review</span> saying <span style="font-style: italic;">“it is a joy to hear Noonan return to the more traditional pop of Emperor’s Box, albeit with a sumptuous and skewed take on the art form that combines the experimental beauty of Sigur Ros and Radiohead with the dark, dreamy atmospherics of 27”</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">Kathy McCabe</span> describing it as <span style="font-style: italic;">“deliciously overthe- top alternative pop”.</span><br /><br />EMPEROR’S BOX is Katie’s second release for Sony Music, and is the follow-up to the Brisbane-based artist’s Blackbird, her well-received jazz and 2009 Aria-winning project issued in 2008. This time round, Katie has penned all the songs. As has been the case throughout much of her stellar career, the songstress has teamed with some of the best in the business. The likes of Split Enz great Tim Finn, rising star Sia Furler, Cold Chisel icon Don Walker, pop troubador Josh Pyke and acclaimed Australian writer/poet Tom Shapcott are some of the big names who share writing credits on the new effort. Josh Pyke and Sia also appear on the album on their respective co-written tracks.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />EMPEROR’S BOX NATIONAL ALBUM TOUR WITH VERY SPECIAL GUESTS THE JEZABELS **</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">JUNE 5, TANKS ARTS CENTRE, CAIRNS</span><br /><a href="http://www.ticketlink.com.au/">www.ticketlink.com.au</a> 1300 855 835<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">JUNE 11, THE GOVERNOR HINDMARSH HOTEL, ADELAIDE **</span><br /><a href="http://www.thegov.com.au/">www.thegov.com.au</a> <a href="http://www.moshtix.com.au/"></a> 1300 GET TIX (438 849)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">JUNE 12, THE FLY BY NIGHT, FREMANTLE</span><br /><a href="http://www.flybynight.org/">www.flybynight.org</a> 08 9430 5976<br />w’ Timothy Nelson & The Infidels / Goodnight Tiger<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">JUNE 13, THE FLY BY NIGHT, FREEMANTLE</span><br /><a href="http://www.flybynight.org/">www.flybynight.org</a> 08 9430 5976<br />w’ Ghost Hotel / Wolves at the Door<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">JUNE 18, THE HI FI, MELBOURNE **</span><br /><a href="http://www.thehifi.com.au/">www.thehifi.com.au</a> 1300 843 434 <a href="http://www.oztix.com.au%20/">www.oztix.com.au </a>1300 762 545<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />JUNE 19, METRO THEATRE, SYDNEY **</span><br /><a href="http://www.thmetrotheatre.com.au/">www.thmetrotheatre.com.au</a> (02) 9550 3666<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">JUNE 25, THE POWERHOUSE THEATRE, BRISBANE **</span><br /><a href="http://www.brisbanepowerhouse.org/">www.brisbanepowerhouse.org</a> (07) 3358 8600<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">JUNE 26, JOE’S WATERHOLE, EUMUNDI **</span><br /><a href="http://www.musicliveatjoes.com%20/">www.musicliveatjoes.com </a>(07) 5442 8144<br />Tickets also available @ Joe’s Waterhole Eumundi,<br />Backbeat Records Maroochydore and Shake it up Music Nambour<br /><br />EMPEROR’S BOX IN STORES FRIDAY APRIL 9TH THROUGH SONY MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT AUSTRALIA<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRIlqeqlvcqAqMDTY5lEK7LnBEFS_gR2az-v6Fp6Ag9-Nd3ACmjmxjAd6AjTDbBRZJqQc7amMzAianNqjhLUIxZ8Fg07tqg_Yjf1DBZv7wi2WpNjJNhs4MZk7LdXCRlnMzhsDQcFmslK4/s1600/KATIE+NOONAN+%26+THE+CAPTAINS+020+small.jpg"><img style="display: block;

It’s tradition for Carnivale goers to come in masked or costumed ‘gangs’ (groups) – and this year the festival will offer group discounts for those who come and add to the colour. This year, Rio Rhythmics will return with their famed costumed dancers and percussion ensemble to form the nucleus of the Carnivale parade. They will be joined by fire dancers and roving performers to create what is undoubtedly the festival highlight.<br /> <br />The Carnivale will also feature an outside bar, food and craft markets and a workshop venue.

One of Australia favorite troubadours, Greene has just announced that his eagerly anticipated new album 'Everywhere is Home' will be released April 26th through his own label Whirl records, distribution by One Stop Entertainment.<br /><br />Greene was 'discovered' by Midnight Oil's Rob Hirst (with whom he formed the aptly titled duo; 'Hirst & Greene') in 2005, but it was his 2008 album 'Distance Over Time' that saw the pieces really begin to fall into place. With ABC's Radio National making it their 'Album of The Week' upon its release, 'Distance over Time' justified the many critics who regarded Greene as one of Australian music's best‐kept secrets. Illustrating the depth of appeal, at the opposite end of the spectrum, Nova anointed him Australia's best unsigned acoustic act of 2007.<br /><br />A regular on the Australian festival circuit, in the past 12 months alone Greene has performed at; East Coast Blues & Roots Festival, Toyota Gympie Muster, Queenscliff, Festival Of The Sun, Coastfest, Caloundra Music Festival, Woodford and Peat's Ridge and his work has drawn praise from the likes of Ani DiFranco, The Waifs, Patty Griffin and Pete Murray – to name but a few.<br /><br /><object height="81" width="100%"> <param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fheapsawill%2Fpaul-greene-everybody-gotta-little-love"></param> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param> <embed allowscriptaccess="always" height="81" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fheapsawill%2Fpaul-greene-everybody-gotta-little-love" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%"></embed> </object> <span><a href="http://soundcloud.com/heapsawill/paul-greene-everybody-gotta-little-love">Paul Greene - 'Everybody Gotta Little Love'</a> by <a href="http://soundcloud.com/heapsawill">HeapsaWill</a></span> <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">'Everywhere Is Home'</span><br /><br />After showcasing at the Canadian Music Week in March 2010, Paul returns to Australia this April to launch his brand‐new album 'Everywhere Is Home'. Featuring 12 new tracks of Paul's distinctively versatile voice, full‐bodied acoustic guitar and tuneful harmonica, 'Everywhere Is Home' brings together all the appeal of his previous releases and augments them with a set of new experiences and lessons picked up on the road. From the plaintive lyrical assessment and insistent alt‐country pulse of Going To Take A Miracle through the fly on the wall self analysis and musical meander of Stay On, 'Everywhere Is Home' is the sort of album that feels like the road dust has only been brushed gently off.<br /><br />In Greene’s own words: <span style="font-style:italic;">“This album is the most challenging thing I have done in my career so far. Every album begins as an unscaled mountain: You start off knowing where the summit is, but you can never know for sure the best way to get there. All that anyone else really gets to see is a snapshot of the view from the top. I have spent a few years wondering what would be the best approach, and I decided that using what I had was going to be more interesting that going into a studio where I would have every trick in the book at my disposal. I have been mucking around on 4 tracks since I was a kid, so I have been experimenting with recording for a long time. I have also recorded a few albums of my own, a few albums for or with other people, and a stack of production demos for friends. This, however, is the first time I have ‘released’ an album I recorded myself.<br /><br />Hence the album features a wine glass solo, drums that don't sound like drums, and also features my wife on flute – one of two guest musicians on the record – which she hadn’t played the whole time I've known her. I think that this recording blew a few circuits in my brain – but I am proud of the results, because it captures what I sound like to me.<br /><br />In regards to the title: we were on a particularly grueling 3 month run of shows to north Queensland with no air conditioning in our converted school bus. My Daughter (Lily, age 5) was missing home and her friends. I was trying to comfort her by saying that the bus was our home; and that she was Australian and we were in Australia, so she was home; and that she was from the planet earth, and we were on<br />earth, so she was home. She went silent for a long time, then from the back seat said to me in the rear view mirror ‘so dad – everywhere is home’.”</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">The Tour</span><br /><br />The upcoming tour to launch 'Everywhere is Home' will be a rare treat for fans in that it will be the first time Greene has toured with a full band for a number of years. It will be the best of both worlds though, with all shows also featuring a solo set. For further incentive, the 'Everywhere Is Home' tour will be the last run of dates for Paul before he returns to Canada for the prestigious North by Northwest taking place in Toronto in June. Support is by Penny & The Mystics. Fronted by Penny Hartgerink (whose 'Four Days', hit No.1 on the national independent EP/Singles chart in 2008) the group has been quietly making a name for themselves performing regularly around the NSW South Coast, where their original mix of rock, reggae and new age roots music has won them a strong local following.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Paul Greene ‐Everywhere Is Home Tour</span> <br />Supported by Penny & The Mystics (except WA) <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Thursday April 15 ‐The Basement, Sydney NSW</span> Call the Basement Box Office to book on (02) 9251 2797 (Mon ‐Fri 10 am ‐5:30 pm) or online at <br /><a href="http://www.moshtix.com.au/Event.aspx?id=30875">http://www.moshtix.com.au/Event.aspx?id=30875</a> <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Friday April 16 ‐The Heritage Hotel, Bulli NSW </span><br /><a href="http://www.heritagehotel.com.au">www.heritagehotel.com.au</a> or (02) 4284 5884 <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />Saturday April 17 ‐Milton Theatre, Milton NSW </span><br />Plus The Lucky Wonders Ticket Sales: Country Leather (02) 4455 3056 or online at <a href="http://tickets.oztix.com.au/Default.aspx?Event=13937 ">http://tickets.oztix.com.au/Default.aspx?Event=13937 </a><br /><br />Sunday April 18 ‐Playhouse Theatre, Mittagong NSW <br />Ph (02) 4871 1086 or online at: <a href="http://tickets.oztix.com.au/default.aspx?Event=14874">http://tickets.oztix.com.au/default.aspx?Event=14874</a> <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Thursday April 22 ‐Lizotte's, Newcastle NSW </span><br />Book online at <a href="http://www.lizottes.com.au ">www.lizottes.com.au </a>or (02) 4956 2066 <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />Thursday May 6 ‐The Curtin Band Room, Melbourne VIC </span><br />Tix online at <a href="http://laingtix.oztix.com.au/default.aspx?Event=14131 ">http://laingtix.oztix.com.au/default.aspx?Event=14131 </a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Friday May 7 ‐The Baha Music Bar, Rye VIC </span><br />For Tix (03) 5985 2077 <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Saturday May 8 ‐Home Tavern, Wagga Wagga NSW </span><br />Tix (02) 6921 3117 or online at <a href="http://laingtix.oztix.com/default.aspx?Event=14062">http://laingtix.oztix.com/default.aspx?Event=14062</a> <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Sunday May 9 ‐Front Gallery & Café, Canberra ACT </span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Thursday May 13 ‐Mojo's Bar, Fremantle WA </span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Sunday May 16 ‐Redcliffe on the Murray, Pinjarra WA</span> <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />Thursday May 27 ‐Brisbane Powerhouse (Visy Theatre), Brisbane QLD</span> <br />Tickets available online at <a href="http://www.brisbanepowerhouse.org">www.brisbanepowerhouse.org</a> or via Box Office on (07) 3358 8600 <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />Friday May 28 ‐The Soundlounge, Currumbin QLD </span><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />Saturday May 29 ‐Joes Waterhole,, Eumundi QLD </span><br />Tickets available via (0 7) 5442 81444, or at Joe's Waterhole Gaming Lounge, Backbeat Records and S hake It Up Music <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Thursday June 10 ‐Grace Emily Hotel, Adelaide SA </span><br /><a href="http://lainngtix.oztix.co m.au/default.aspx?Event==14088 ">http://lainngtix.oztix.co m.au/default.aspx?Event==14088 </a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />Friday June 11 ‐Sand Bar, Mildura VIC</span> <br />Tickets online at <a href="http:///laingtix.oztix.com.au/default.aspx?Evvent=14430">http:///laingtix.ozti x.com.au/default.aspx?Evvent=14430</a><br /> <br />Saturday June 12 ‐Deniliquin Club,, Deniliquin NSW <br />Tickets online at <a href="http:///laingtix.oztix.com.au/default.aspx?Evvent=14092">http:///laingtix.ozti x.com.au/default.aspx?Evvent=14092</a> <br /><br /><object width="580" height="360"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zW1pZUTldwI&hl=en_GB&fs=1&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zW1pZUTldwI&hl=en_GB&fs=1&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="580" height="360"></embed></object><span style="font-weight:bold;"></span>Heapsawillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12794930427659079309noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434178423232137623.post-12197551859766258092010-04-22T16:01:00.004+10:002010-04-22T16:28:54.409+10:00Optimen's Second Album Has Finally landed!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2xfdyjAKeeALB_toexmJjl3e0zvUa4XdIVmUt4EBpj115ZYZCZGSVXebIGOKV7GdVyoSplGP429ktgu9RdPsCz59nq1YFxAi1Glo2F3x50gffqO0gxar2LZnl5cvA-ej2X4IG2v3Dw5Y/s1600/TheOptimen-300.jpg"><img style="display:block;

This much-anticipated album by The Optimen (The OPees to their friends – and they can take all the friends they can get) is the result of work: hard work. The sort of work that keeps you up late at night and makes you late for the next day’s “working for the man”. And it shows.<br /><br /><object height="81" width="100%"> <param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fheapsawill%2Fthe-optimen-pay-cheques"></param> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param> <embed allowscriptaccess="always" height="81" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fheapsawill%2Fthe-optimen-pay-cheques" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%"></embed> </object> <span><a href="http://soundcloud.com/heapsawill/the-optimen-pay-cheques">The Optimen - 'Pay Cheques'</a> by <a href="http://soundcloud.com/heapsawill">HeapsaWill</a></span> <br /><br />The three original members and emcees of The Optimen (Sammsonite, DATS and Kristoff The Russian) have never wavered in their commitment to being independent. From release to release, whether their own or for label-mates, and all on their own Red Tape Entertainment imprint, they have done it their own way – even turning down record contracts that most upcoming artists would lay aside a baby-maker for to do it. Add DJ Damage on the turntables and Peter Beaty on live samples and studio mixing detail and you have one of the country’s few thoroughly independent acts, through and through. <br /><br />This insistence on in-house production carries forward from the beats (courtesy of Sammsonite and DATS) to the cuts and scratches (a tip of the hat to DJ Damage), and even the samples used to give the album its sonic slap to the face were provided by Kristoff The Russian (with the occasional offering by former crew member DJ Sheep). This self-reliance has also been integral in the cultivation of their truly unique sound – warm brass, even warmer bass, gripping guitar riffs, shimmering strings and drums that move through you so freely they could make a religious sister renounce her faith and take a part-time job at a bikini carwash. Add to this the trademark Optimen rap presence and precision of Damage on the cut and you might begin to have an idea of what The Out Of Money Experience sounds like.<br /><br />Only it’s bigger… And it’s better.<br /><br />Featuring some of their favourite emcees, both from Australia (Tommy Ill, The Archetypes, Pure Product, Adverse, Lazy Grey and Rainman) and two international legends in the field – Jehst (UK) and Phil The Agony (USA) – and also local vocalists Laneous (Mr Laneous) and Kel (The Kelly Gang), The Out Of Money Experience is galvanized by its strength of guest appearances and not stirred into a turbulence by them as can be the case.<br /><br />The Out Of Money Experience also represents some standout ‘firsts’ for The Optimen: First time using session musicians – including drums, saxophone, trombone and a range of keys, the first time working with some of their own international rhyme idols, with Jehst bringing his signature introspective reflection and effortless flow for Dust (an exploration into what it means to be human when you take away all of the constructs that society has placed here), and Phil The Agony (Likwit Crew/Strong Arm Steady) with his characteristic commanding of attention on the album ender (and bonus remix track) Number One.<br /><br /><object height="81" width="100%"> <param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fheapsawill%2Fthe-optimen-80s-babies"></param> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param> <embed allowscriptaccess="always" height="81" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fheapsawill%2Fthe-optimen-80s-babies" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%"></embed> </object> <span><a href="http://soundcloud.com/heapsawill/the-optimen-80s-babies">The Optimen - '80's Babies'</a> by <a href="http://soundcloud.com/heapsawill">HeapsaWill</a></span> <br /><br />To enhance The Experience for the listener, The Optimen have continued to show considerable growth from their 2002 EP release Breath Control, their debut album Boomtown (’05) and label-showcase Red Tape Renegades: Vol 1 (’07), both in their musical inclination, with a far greater diversity of sounds and assortments of instruments than ever before, beginning with a brooding horn section reminiscent of a Japanese monster flick, sounding the impending doom and destruction like the fading echo of an air raid siren on album opener O Shit!, to the sunshine and lollipops wrapped in a mother’s hug on 80s Babies, in the form of a this time bright horn arrangement that is threaded together with a retro saxophone loop by a hand that just can’t stop snapping its fingers.<br /><br />The album isn’t only advanced and progressive in terms of its production values and musicality, however. It is also the most diverse work that The Optimen have released topically – which is what really gains attention. While they still deliver their standard (though stepped up) form of ‘battle’ inspired rhymes, replete with ‘bragadociousness’ they have dug deeper this time around, mixing through a palette that begins with reminiscing on days past (80s Babies and time pre-money troubles in Pay Cheques) to the approaching of 30th birthdays (all this year) for emcees Sammsonite, DATS and Kristoff in 30 Rock. On The Rocks gives insight into the rocky relationship goings on the boys have with alcohol, which has been personified here, and Something in the Air featuring local hero Lazy Grey is a pseudo-socio-political address on how we could all be making greater efforts to connect with each other and put our differences aside in the name of getting high… really, really high. Before the album is through, though, The Optimen have to pay hommage to the mostly African American musicians who paved the way for them as a sample-based act but also just for the incredible and inspirational music they have gifted the world with. This track, Respecognise, features the newest Red Tape signess, The Archetypes, as well as the powerful and soulful singing voice of Kel, who takes the track out appropriately.<br /><br />Indeed, if this album were an outside-of-the-genre musical performance, it’d be Frank ‘Old Blue Eyes’ Sinatra, complete with the New York Philharmonic, performing ‘My Way’ to a packed Madison Square Garden in the mid 70s – only you know that to reach that earth-moving crescendo at the end you first get to enjoy the journey it takes to get there. And that’s what The Out Of Money Experience brings – it’s a journey. An expedition for over an hour that will leave you wishing there were more artists out there who were in it for the music and not the semi-permanence of praise and empty accolades.<br /><br />If this isn't your new favourite album for this year then it won't be far from it, or your money back*.<br /><br />*Not a real guarantee.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG6bKut6qh50ahoMQJNYI01k-lsPoxWTgiR7W_EPMPGa9HKM-Hw3KbluNhYje2f8HkwwVl_PKBdEIw1-KsMk5G7BsaTxTxIGPkD9jSMm4u1cLz-BGU9IMFj140ztWw-l9E6JucJyl0V2k/s1600/rt0510_newcover_1600.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG6bKut6qh50ahoMQJNYI01k-lsPoxWTgiR7W_EPMPGa9HKM-Hw3KbluNhYje2f8HkwwVl_PKBdEIw1-KsMk5G7BsaTxTxIGPkD9jSMm4u1cLz-BGU9IMFj140ztWw-l9E6JucJyl0V2k/s400/rt0510_newcover_1600.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462844357885104066" /></a>Heapsawillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12794930427659079309noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434178423232137623.post-46654465248660728072010-04-16T18:23:00.005+10:002010-04-16T18:58:02.505+10:00Georgia Fields Releases New Single 'Something Borrowed, Something Blue'<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ2LDQZbSDnpeF4BsqbITcrjzq8g1Y2wcjM2dXrUk5iFNuH3tGIErwuplAfdNsbAHI0gyGPV4gwu73f4FDYv4L924KEOAYFMt13FBc8rzqJYlDqpDfNN49Dj791vgV73auGIzxXNp8Npw/s1600/Georgia+Fields_Press+Photo1280x200.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ2LDQZbSDnpeF4BsqbITcrjzq8g1Y2wcjM2dXrUk5iFNuH3tGIErwuplAfdNsbAHI0gyGPV4gwu73f4FDYv4L924KEOAYFMt13FBc8rzqJYlDqpDfNN49Dj791vgV73auGIzxXNp8Npw/s400/Georgia+Fields_Press+Photo1280x200.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460654748112228690" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/georgiafields">Georgia Fields</a> is earnestly applying the finishing touches to her debut album. In the meantime, the charismatic songbird is releasing the second single from her forthcoming record, to tide us over until the winter LP release. <br /><br />‘Something Borrowed, Something Blue’ intertwines the childlike naivety of experimental sounds with mature and considered orchestral arrangements. Romantic without dissolving into a swamp of twee, the track features a charmingly bizarre animal toy sample. B-sides include ‘Sinking Relation Ship’ – a mournful, maritime-y tale of a couple who are “falling apart like pavlova”… and the string-lush ‘Happy Accidents’, recorded in her cellist’s lounge room.<br /><br /><object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zSrIyGELfFk&hl=en_GB&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zSrIyGELfFk&hl=en_GB&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br />Since her 2007 debut, Fields has earned a reputation for her impressive live shows. Her ‘Mini-Indie-Orchestra’ is a 12-piece ensemble of Melbourne’s musical heavyweights, featuring a string quartet, brass, woodwind, tuned percussion, full band, and even a cordless drill.

Most of the album was recorded in the early hours of the morning at Studios 301. During the day the band had to nail blankets over the windows and doors “to adapt to the vampire lifestyle”. At that stage The Lucky Wonders were the duo of Emma and Jessie. They were joined by Ben Franz (The Waifs) on bass and lap steel and Dave Sanders (Acre) on drums on the album.<br /><br />The album has a theme of connection: with yourself, a lover, the world. Also the connection between hard times and the journey towards happiness.<br /><br />Explains Emma: “This album covers a lot of ground, the individual tracks read like chapters in a bigger story, and in the end you’re left with something real but optimistic. Despite our contrasting life experiences we create something special when we write together. It’s like, yeah, life can hurt sometimes, but if you stay open, there is a chance at something bigger and fuller.”<br />And immediately, people have been connecting with The Lucky Wonders' music. On Triple J ‘Unearthed’ users raved about Happy Pill: “I love the harmonies and melody of this great pop song, it’s simple but beautiful”, “Classic Aussie acoustic pop at its finest” and “Really, really like this song and this band.

Amazing stuff.”</span><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Polaroids Of Androids – 27 February 2009</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">“For fans of Liddiard’s verse, the unplugged show was a way to experience its horrible, apocalyptic glory free from rock postures and the distracting volume of amplification. His is a savage vision and one that’s often based in the past, but somehow it still feels more relevant than a thousand columnists in The Weekend Australian trying to give utterance to similar themes. If you haven’t listened yet, listen. And if The Drones’ screeching guitar hurts your ears, read the lyrics instead. As for Liddiard, if he plays solo again, don’t miss it. He’s likeable, he’s brilliant and he’s ours. And for better or for worse, compatriots, we’re his too.”</span><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Musicfeeds.com.au – 5 March 2009</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">“You can certainly hear the influence of that period's dark local underground in The Drones' capacity for assault and febrile movement, not to mention singer Gareth Liddiard's lean charisma and often brilliant lyrical ability.” </span><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Sydney Morning Herald – 30 October 2008</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">“But it was in the final song for this evening, Sixteen Straws, when Liddiard broke a string and declared that he doesn’t do encores, that the crowd really showed their appreciation for the talented fellow who happens to front one of Australia’s most loved underrated music success stories.”</span><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Fasterlouder.com.au – 12 March 2009</span><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/uN1bFLpGjPQ&hl=en_GB&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/uN1bFLpGjPQ&hl=en_GB&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>Heapsawillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12794930427659079309noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434178423232137623.post-2545511144950104182010-03-05T13:28:00.008+10:002010-03-13T11:47:11.312+10:00New Single from The Bedroom Philosopher<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAS9dVl43INc8sh4RB7ilrCSY6v4fHiNUeHOSzhodYQSWcEaFwUYrFms2xG0UHuEkryZ2sNKB68E1DO45bywCr-ZJxxSL0zZptI2zabT4ir10NO-o6ilVzZNhOBrp-a5X78qzinRLIV8g/s1600-h/Sally.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 72px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAS9dVl43INc8sh4RB7ilrCSY6v4fHiNUeHOSzhodYQSWcEaFwUYrFms2xG0UHuEkryZ2sNKB68E1DO45bywCr-ZJxxSL0zZptI2zabT4ir10NO-o6ilVzZNhOBrp-a5X78qzinRLIV8g/s400/Sally.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444997471075727010" /></a>

Nashville has the Dynamites, whose approach is about three-quarters James Brown — especially mid-1960s James Brown — with touches of Memphis, Motown and New Orleans.</span> “<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The New York Times</span><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Direct from Nashville, Tennessee, deep soul 10-piece The Dynamites featuring Charles Walker are preparing to make their first trip to Australia this April. In support of their first Australian release Burn It Down (out April 2nd through MGM), The Dynamites play the East Coast Bluesfest in Byron as well as their own headline sideshows.<br /><br />Soul music is here to stay, and it’s still evolving. The Dynamites Featuring Charles Walker are living proof. Lead singer Charles Walker doesn’t imitate, emulate or try to resuscitate a bygone nostalgic era. He is soul, the real deal, still carrying the flaming torch of funk and soul lit back in the late 60’s at the Apollo Theater where he opened up for icons like James Brown and Wilson Pickett.<br /><br />The Dynamites have proven that national treasures of soul and funk like Charles Walker still walk amongst us. What’s more, the fresh songwriting approach of Dynamite band leader Bill Elder, a.k.a. Leo Black, continues to push the deep funk envelope, propelling Walker to sound equally at home singing a scorching hot, up-tempo rocker as he does on a heart wrenching 60’s-style soul ballad.<br /><br />A 2008 article in USA Today included The Dynamites in the short list of “<span style="font-style: italic;">acts that are wowing live audiences coast to coast with fresh songs and slamming performances.</span>” The article also got it right in asserting the relevancy and freshness of the deep funk movement: “<span style="font-style: italic;">These critically lauded acts aren't cover bands, paying homage to old heroes. They're creating their own legacies in a genre that the industry seemingly shelved long ago.</span>”<br /><br />Apropos to being timely, The Dynamites second album, Burn It Down has something to say about life right now. From its raw opening notes, it wastes no time getting to the gritty heart of the matter. Punctuated by staccato horn section bursts and Walker’s intense proclamation that “it’s been a long time coming,” the vibe evokes the ominous flames of incendiary times.<br /><br />Their commitment to being a hard working touring act, throughout Europe and the U.S., has solidified an international following. When the band recently played the esteemed Austin City Limits Festival, a local journalist urged attendance but cautioned to: “<span style="font-style: italic;">just make sure you know where the nearest defibrillator is.</span>” While their recordings capture much of the excitement, seeing the band live takes the experience to a whole other level. As Walker puts it: "You can only do so much on a record," he says. "The performance is a lot different. I can't stand doing songs exactly the same. I have to stretch out a little bit. That's part of my thing."<br /><br />An essential authenticity comes across in The Dynamites music and message. Without a doubt, Burn it Down acknowledges that not all is right in the world, but it doesn’t get stuck there. Times might be rough and people might be grumbling about doomsday, but Charles Walker and The Dynamites are here to remind us that “<span style="font-style: italic;">it’s a sunny day.</span>” Sure we could bitch and moan. But we could just as well get down to some funky assed grooves and burn that negativity down.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Some Quick The Dynamites feat.
