100% Melbourne

  Statistics isn’t usually a word associated with fun or creativity. Without faces to a number or stories to a percentage, it’s hard for anyone to muster the energy to care about how John and Jane down the street filled out last year’s census form. 100% Melbourne is putting an animated spin on those usually lifeless numbers, attempting to encourage people to stand up and take notice of their...

New Found Glory

  Upon doing research for my upcoming interview with Florida pop punk veterans New Found Glory, the thing that struck me the most was discovering that the band has the same lineup now as when they first burst onto the scene way back in 1997. Considering the number of personnel changes that most bands have to endure during their existence, it certainly is an incredible feat and its one of... Read More

  Since leaving seminal LA hip hop sextuplet Jurassic 5 (yeah, there were six of them) back in 2004 to focus on his eclectic solo material, Cut Chemist has been putting in the work. He’s released two classic records and headlined the Hollywood bowl with DJ Shadow, been an opening act for Shakira, put out an acclaimed full length debut solo record, and remixed, collaborated and produced for...

In Good Company

What sometimes starts out as a bit of fun with your friends can easily turn into an actual career defining opportunity. Having been a part of the Australian rap scene for a good few years, Melbourne-based MC Whisper made his name alongside Mantra as part of the duo Equills before deciding to take the solo route. However, when he hooked up with his pals Breach and Syntax last year to release a... Read More
Tracy Dods Melbourne Exhibition
0 Comments. 1,586 Views. Posted 23 Sep 2011 @ 4:26pm.
In a day and age where living under the corporate umbrella has, for a lot of people, become the norm, Tracy Dods has used her artwork to encapsulate the deeper messages behind this lifestyle choice. Her work reflects about introspection, about the goals that people set themselves, the quest for individualism and hence, the loss of social interaction – a lifetime of earning money in order to keep...

Misfits

Misfits is a dark, sexy and badass English drama which is usually described as Skins meets Heroes. While that gives a pretty good idea of the premise, it doesn't do justice to the fact that Misfits has more than just crazy powers and big special effects, but characters that are both believable and relatable. The sci-fi elements are really well done and the effects... Read More
Allure

My 13 year old self is unable to contain his excitement. As I close my eyes I can still picture my cousin Stanley arriving from LA with a bunch of CDs that he thought I might enjoy.  At the top of the pile was a rather foxy girl band, whose first single Head Over Heels had just been released. I have to admit that rather shamefully rather than looking through the remainder of the pile, I... Read More
Blame
0 Comments. 1,832 Views. Posted 21 Jul 2011 @ 9:43am.
Blame is another strong local production that should appeal to audiences who love tense dramas. This taut new Australian film is a variation of the home invasion thriller, in the vein of Funny Games, Death And The Maiden and The Strangers, etc, but it lacks the rather nasty, relentlessly sadistic edge of Michael Haneke’s film. It begins strongly when a group of strangers, dressed in black and... Read More
Naturally 7

You might have caught Naturally7 back in February when they were in Australia supporting Michael Buble. Now they're back in Melboure playing Melbourne Recital Centre. I first heard about them when a friend from Sydney emailed me saying she'd been to Buble and I had to check out the support act. Unusual. Unusual they are. Seven guys on stage imitating instruments and one sound guy somehow keeping... Read More
Féfé

Modesty, it would seem, is one of Féfé 's strong points. It's not that Saian Super Group was a Wu-Tang style outfit that changed the world, but certainly in their native France, they were a unique force - and they gained recognition outside too. Ironically, the first time I'd heard them was in a Wu-Tang collaboration - or at least affiliation - and from there, they catapulted... Read More
