Aerosmith

Around a decade managed to pass between Aerosmith’s previous release this century, Honkin’ On Bobo, and their latest studio album Music From Another Dimension! You can safely assume that Aerosmith are still writing and recording music out of sheer love and not just to pay the bills. While the band will rise to the expectation of flicking through their back catalogue, this is no... Read More

Daray At DV8 Who went to the drum clinic by Dimmu Borgir drummer Daray on the weekend? I couldn't make it to the clinic itself (I was busy getting the house ready for my kid's Adventure Time-themed sixth birthday party, if you must know) but I rocked up to DV8 that evening to check out his DJ set, which was killer. Duray is a cool guy with great taste in metal, and it's always good to hear... Read More
Joe Bonamassa Announces Melbourne Show

With a growing reputation as one of the world's greatest guitar players, Joe Bonamassa is coming to Melbourne to play the Palais Theatre in October. The charismatic blues-rock musician continues to create more and more of a virtuoso mix of roots-influenced Delta sounds and lively 1960s British blues-rock enthusiasm, heard through his work on his last two albums, Dust Bowl, and Black Rock, which...

Stonefield

  What started out as jamming in the family shed soon turned into something extraordinary for Stonefield. Coming from a tiny rural town just north of Melbourne, the four Findlay sisters – Amy, Hannah, Sarah and Holly, were just coming to the end of recording their first EP, Through The Clover, when their mum mentioned that they should apply for triple j’s Unearthed competition. Apprehensive... Read More
The Darkness Australian Tour 2012
1 Comments. 2,833 Views. Posted 27 Mar 2012 @ 10:41am.
  Few in the 2000s rocked harder than The Darkness. Breaking through with the fucken awesome debut Permission To Land, the band endured many bust-ups, a revolving door member policy, and a terminal case of sophomore album syndrome before combusting in a veritable snowstorm. Now in 2012, the classic lineup is back, better than ever. Fuck. Yes. With follow-up LP One Way Ticket To Hell... Read More
CSS, Thursday January 5, The Corner Hotel
0 Comments. 731 Views. Posted 31 Jan 2012 @ 4:04pm.
  Cansei de Ser Sexy might translate as ‘tired of being sexy’ but last week’s show at the Corner Hotel proved CSS are far from it.  Visiting our shores for the first time as a foursome since the departure of Adraiano Cintra in November, the curtains of the Corner open to reveal the Brazilian party crew in a pose and ready for action. Lead singer Lovefoxx sets the tone, asking the... Read More

60 Seconds With... The Lockhearts
0 Comments. 998 Views. Posted 23 Nov 2011 @ 11:41am.
So then, what's the band name and what do you 'do' in the band?   We're called The Lockhearts from Sydney, NSW. I'm Tim, you'll see me on vocals and guitar.     Bearing the terrible clichéd nature of this question, what do you reckon people will say you sound like ?   Our sound is rooted in classic rock, but with a modern edge, we draw influence from a lot of '70s and '80s...

Howl At The Moon : Let the Mainsheet Down, My Love
0 Comments. 1,334 Views. Posted 23 Nov 2011 @ 10:33am.
Let the Mainsheet Down, My Love is grim and angular, an interesting new single from Melbourne's Howl at the Moon. They walk a careful line between theatricality and melodrama, with psycho sexual lead vocals and jagged guitar riffs that stalk their way through the song. It works, though. All that wailing and gnashing of teeth makes for one cool single. Read More

Although many more ladies have formed or joined bands in the last ten years or so, rock music still has somewhat of a 'boys club' feel to it. The majority of modern rock bands are still all-male, or at least male dominated. It's still fairly rare to see female members in rock bands and to find all-female bands playing hard rock is even more of an oddity. There are, of course, a few bands... Read More

Making his first tour down under in 18 years, Lenny Kravitz will finally be returning in 2012 for two Melbourne shows. Kravitz will be visiting during the Melbourne Formula 1 weekend.   “Not only will rock fans around Australia get to enjoy these three great artists, highlights of Lenny’s performance will be broadcast around the world via the F1 Rocks network to a huge international...

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

Given the multitude of side projects that the various members of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah are involved in, they've kind of re-emerged without warning, with their third album in six years,Hysterical (what on God's hot earth possessed them to go with that title) and an impending visit to the Antipodes. There was a point where Hysterical might not have eventuated at all. Up until six... Read More

Award-winning American comic artist Rob Guillory is very much an artist of the modern age. With a heavy presence on the internet through both his blog and various social networking sites, Guillory is open and approachable with his fans about his creative process. However, having just announced a month-long break from two of the most prominent of those resources, has Guillory changed his mind... Read More

What's your name then? Oh. And the name of your event? Paling Black, and it's our The Hallway EP Release at Chapel off Chapel.   And what do you do?   My name is Daniel Rickard and I'm the lead singer, song writer and guitarist.   When did you start doing that?   Writing songs since I was 15 and guitar and singing properly since I was about 16.   Why did you start...

The Big Pink : Stay Gold
0 Comments. 1,069 Views. Posted 12 Oct 2011 @ 11:42am.
If ever a band slit its own throat, it was Big Pink. They released a spectacular debut record a couple of years back then played a frankly embarrassing set at The Hi-Fi, in which singer/guitarist Robbie Furze strutted around like a great posturing eejit, making it impossible to take seriously their stadium-scale indie rock anthems. Stay Gold has the same bombastic thrust as Dominos, and the... Read More
Frenzal Rhomb

It's pretty much a nightmare scenario if you happen to be a vegetarian or vegan - but Frenzal Rhomb lived through it to tell the tale. Recording and living in Bill Stevenson's pet food factory-located studio in Colorado was the worst possible location for the Aussie punkers to churn out their new record Smoko At The Pet Food Factory , and as frontman Jay Whalley explains, the horrifying...

Dream On Dreamer : Heartbound
0 Comments. 2,367 Views. Posted 26 Aug 2011 @ 9:36am.
The metalcore train left the station about four or five years ago, and these guys may have missed it. If these guys had released Heartbound in 2005, they would have been a chance to (momentarily) dominate the world; such is the quality of what they do. These Aussie boys do the melodic metalcore thing about as well as anyone on the planet right now; it's just that they might have to be content... Read More
Dream On Dreamer

In just two years Melbourne six-piece Dream On Dreamer have managed to climb to the top of the Australia hardcore heap, but frontman Marcel Gadacz claims his band still has a long way to go. Nope, they don't plan on taking a minute's breather until their final destination - Berlin, Germany. "It's pretty important to me because I was born in Germany," he explains. "I only just came out to... Read More
Drop Macumba : Elsewhere
0 Comments. 1,318 Views. Posted 15 Jul 2011 @ 11:27am.
Another Perth act with a flair for the dramatic, Drop Macumba features ex-members of The Silents, Pond and Scotch of Saint James – people who know people in far flung WA. The curiously stark lead vocal warbles through the middle-upper registers favoured by eighties hair rock singers; a sort of cheesy but impassioned power plea. The music is grinding and dark, but in a pedestrian way – the singer... Read More
We The Kings : Friday Is Forever
1 Comments. 2,533 Views. Posted 7 Jun 2011 @ 11:16am.
I swear I crossed my fingers and prayed for a We The Kings single in this week’s packet, having just seen the video for their 2008 single Check Yes Juliet, which features lead singer Travis as a very unlikely Romeo. Such luscious flowing ginger locks, such unapologetic pubescent acne. I was both repulsed and transfixed by the Floridian pop punker… but leaning towards transfixed. Little dude is... Read More
Joe Bonamassa

Officially dubbed a ‘child guitar prodigy’ at age 12, there’s only one man that’s had the privilege of calling the legendary B.B. King a personal mentor over the last 22 years… His name is Joe Bonamassa and he’s currently “killin’ it all across the U.S. of A,” he laughs, on the back of his twelfth solo album 'Dust Bowl'. Full of hard rockin’, gritty blues, courtesy of one of America’s best... Read More
Michael Bolton Is So Damn Great

OMG Michael Bolton did a song with Lonely Island about Pirates Of The Caribbean and also he is releasing a new album OMG. HOW CAN WE BE LOVERS IF WE CAN'T BE FRIENDS?!?! I dunno Michael Bolton, you don't even answer my emails.   The man himself will be releasing his 21st studio album with Gems - The Duet Collection on June 24 this year.    The album features a duet with...

Boy & Bear : Feeding Line
0 Comments. 3,468 Views. Posted 11 May 2011 @ 2:34pm.
Boy & Bear’s new single comes just ahead of three sold out shows at The Corner (and a good long while before their debut album). Feeding Line is a tight, energetic indie rock tune that moves decisively away from seventies folk harmonies towards a more complex, muscular sound. It’s a better representation of what makes Boy & Bear such an electrifying live band than the tracks on the With... Read More
Tol & The Certifiables : Dropping The Charges
0 Comments. 1,603 Views. Posted 12 Apr 2011 @ 11:58am.
Every now and then I get a track that is so off-the-wall crazy that I wonder if I should tread lightly or risk getting stabbed. This is one of those. The lead singer of this mangy Melbourne punk act is a dude called Hugh Tolhurst – the ‘Tol’ of the title – who couldn’t find the rhythm if you beat it into his skull. He sings like Animal from The Muppets, in both tone and technique, swinging in at... Read More
The Bad Boys of Musical Theatre: A Fine Bromance
0 Comments. 834 Views. Posted 30 Mar 2011 @ 8:12am.
It's the kind of romance where party is always fighting to have their way, where tensions run high but at the end of the day it's alright; where there's two blokes, it's bromance. The Bad Boys Of Musical Theatre have been one-upping one another on on Melbourne's Channel 31 breakfast show and kicking goals at Short + Sweet Cabaret festival and now they're coming to Melbourne International Comedy...

Local Natives Live at The Corner Hotel

I had promised to take an American friend out to a gig in Melbourne before she flew back home. A Californian band seemed appropriate, but I was more excited about taking her to the Local Natives show at The Corner Hotel. It's the perfect venue for alternative music and perfectly encapsulates the unique urban culture that makes Melbourne such a good place to live.   The Paper Scissors... Read More
