0 Comments. 667 Views. Posted 22 Jan 2013 @ 3:24pm.
Marking 40 years to the day since The Rolling Stones' matinee set at Kooyong Tennis Centre, a stellar lineup will take over The Corner for a lovin' recreation of the day's setlist. The legendary set will be recreated by local all-star supergroup The Monkey Men, featuring Tim Rogers (You Am I) on lead vocals, Ash Naylor (Even), Davey Lane (You Am I) & Stephen Hadley (Tex Perkins) on...

Guitar Wolf

There's a story that Seiji, lead singer, guitarist and spiritual leader of Japanese punk rock band Guitar Wolf, is so immersed in the rock 'n' roll aesthetic that he sleeps in his trademark leathers and sunglasses. As impracticable as it might sound, it's notionally plausible; since bursting onto the punk rock scene in the '90s with Guitar Wolf, Seiji has defined his entire existence, fashion... Read More

Maddy Hay : Tell Me A Story
0 Comments. 1,759 Views. Posted 26 Oct 2011 @ 10:11am.
Maddy Hay is a prodigious jazz artist, and Tell Me A Story is her second record of jazz/pop. Jazz singers have a hard time of it when it comes to making a living. As a genre, it's hard to market, there's not that much of a place for it in popular culture. Backstage at most music festivals, you'll normally find a young jazz prodigy who shouldn't be around that many drugs/Tim Rogers, but... Read More

The next generation of the Valmorbida family will host Amore Mojo at the Lavazza Bar at the upcoming Stakes Day event. The young influentials will shift the atmosphere to create a cool and unique experience in the Birdcage. Mojo Wines and Lavazza have combined... Read More
The Grinders : Heartbreaker
0 Comments. 1,177 Views. Posted 24 Aug 2011 @ 1:31pm.
A competent but uninspiring slice of Melbourne mood music; post-Nick Cave pub rock blues with a rhythm lifted straight off of a Rolling Stones record and a gravelly, grim, faux masculine vocal of the too-many-cigarettes-and-too-much-whiskey variety. Feels both forced and flat. Read More

The Music On Film Festival
0 Comments. 1,868 Views. Posted 28 Jun 2011 @ 2:28pm.
Though every music festival these days has managed to branch our far and beyond their respective initial niche market, we’re yet to see a disparity on the scale of something like having bonafide pop superstar P!nk performing on the same bill as revered darlings Sigur Rós. But those willing to indulge in such a wildly eclectic offering needn’t look any further than the maiden instalment of the... Read More
The Delta Riggs : Time
0 Comments. 2,854 Views. Posted 7 Jun 2011 @ 11:31am.
Cracking, swampy rock and roll from local boys The Delta Riggs, from their debut EP Talupo Mountain Music No 1. They’ve got everything you want from the skinny-jeaned sons of The Rolling Stones – a gnashing appetite for the blues, boundless youthful enthusiasm and a crafty, cocksure gift for songwriting. Melbourne turns out a truckload of wannabe rock stars, but they are rarely even worth a... Read More
The Harlots : Lady Maria
0 Comments. 2,018 Views. Posted 31 May 2011 @ 11:59am.
The Harlots are launching Lady Maria at The Evelyn on Thursday, a blues rock number that hobbles through some late seventies Rolling Stone references. In a town where blues rock is something of a noble plague, this is strangely uninspired. The arrangement is decent and they play it well, but the whole band needs a shot of adrenalin up the keister somehow. They also need to get their chops up to... Read More
Gurrumul

" Gurrumul's one of few musicians I work with that brings complete arrangements. He'll do beautiful, subtle things like write verses with phrases of three, but the final verse in four. Occasionally, [I suggest something] but I don't ever want to be seen as someone who rearranges things." Three lines from Michael Hohnen - whitefella, producer, double bass player for indigenous phenomenon Gurrumul... Read More
Blow Up Cinema

Many of us went through that phase in our teenage years of theming our approach to movie watching. For some it amounted to making it dark for scary stuff; others a whole new world of leg warmers for a screening of Fame. Filmmaker Gus Berger has taken the idea and run with it. Blow Up Cinema takes films to environments appropriate to their subject matter. "I came up with the idea for Blow Up... Read More

Define your genre in five words or less: “Vintage, classic, blunt, rock ’n’ roll.” Someone is walking past as you're playing, they go get a beer and tell their friend about you... what do they say? "'I haven't seen anything like it! I guess they sound a bit like a few of my parents' records under the TV cabinet. It's fuckin rad!' Then they presumably run to the gig in a manner not unlike the...

The Backsliders

The term 'roots 'n' blues' has become common fare in recent years. Its precise meaning isn't clear - though John Butler can always find a spot, physically or spiritually, in any festival proclaiming an affiliation with roots 'n' blues. It's also a term that Dom Turner, founding member and guitarist with blues-surf band The Backsliders, finds misleading. "All contemporary music... Read More
Pearl Jam : Live On Ten Legs
0 Comments. 2,510 Views. Posted 19 Feb 2011 @ 11:45pm.
Let's be clear, the grunge survivors aren't so much a band in the traditional sense anymore as a live institution. Like The Grateful Dead before them, Pearl Jam have established their persona through a ceaseless schedule to rival that of even Dylan's Never Ending Tour. They don't so much tour extensively as they do live on the road. As such, their studio output is now a more rare occurrence... Read More

Ronnie Wood : I Feel Like Playing
0 Comments. 1,808 Views. Posted 9 Feb 2011 @ 9:26am.
Ronnie Wood has featured regularly in the media over the past decade. If not for his work with The Rolling Stones, then for his many stints in rehab (which is likely to happen when you're best mates with Keith Richards) and an affair with a Russian waitress 41 years his junior. But unlike the trashy, young popstars who share those glossy magazine pages, Wood hasn't let his personal life... Read More
Ten Years Of The Cat Empire

Many bands in the history of popular music have fallen victim to the "seven-year-itch", most famously, The Beatles. It is said that if a band manages to survive the "seven-year-itch" then they'll probably last forever. The Rolling Stones can stand testement to this. 2011 sees Melburnian rock band, The Cat Empire, celebrate their ten year anniversary.   In celebration of... Read More
