  Name/Band: Quiet Child.   Define your genre in five words or less: Vaguely progish.   Bearing the terrible clichéd nature of this question, what do you reckon people will say you sound like? Long and tedious.   Describe the best gig you have ever played. Opeth support at Palace Theatre in Melbourne.   Tell us about the last song you wrote. A tribute song to Christopher... Read More

  The second single from So Pretend has a watery, shimmering surface and a folksy vocal melody. The combination is sweet and familiar, evoking both The Church and Paul Kelly, or maybe Paul Kelly singing with The Church. The chorus is more like a gentle riff on Empire Of The Sun, sailing dreamlike on the back of a rippling synth and some lovely male harmonies.   Read More

Contrive questions A Lonely Crowd:   What is the message and or inspiration behind A Lonely Crowd? We’re not that deep, but we always wanted a band name that's also an oxymoron.   Do you think flutes are too grim to be added to Metal? Not if you play them upside down.   What approach do you take musically to stand out of the somewhat currently overcrowded heavy music scene? We... Read More

What's your name then? Oh. And the name of your band…   "My name is Carey but you can call me Kez from Tijuana Cartel."   And what do you do?   "The style of music we play has always been hard to pigeonhole but we've been called indie electronica lately - that's a good way of putting it. Paul's flamenco-esque shredding has always been a big part of the sound along with the Afro-... Read More

Eight or so years ago, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost were throwing vinyl at zombies (on the set of Shaun Of The Dead ), when bad weather forced a shooting break - and Pegg joked that for their next film they should do something set in the desert… As he tells it, it wasn't much of a stretch from the desert to Nevada, and from Nevada to Area 51, that most infamous of fanboy wet dreams. By lunchtime, he... Read More

  Paul F. Tompkins is a well-dressed dandy of a comedian. He is NOT a fop. Fops keep lacy handkerchiefs tucked into their sleeves and paint beauty marks on their cheeks. Paul’s sleeves contain only shirt and arm and all of his beauty marks are 100% natural. For his first visit to Australia, he’ll recount his journey from standing before retail counters to standing in front of movie cameras... Read More
