We scored some of Daphne Ashbrook's time ahead of the Doctor Who convention set to come through Australia, Lords of Time 2. As the Eighth Doctor's companion Dr Grace Holloway in the 1996 movie, Ashbrook's turn in the show saw the Doctor and his companion go beyond the normal relationship boundary, effectively setting up the romantic connection between the characters the revived series sees quite regularly today. She was also kickass. Check out what she had to say about coming to meet the Australian fans!

The Lords of Time 2 convention is coming through Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney and Brisbane this month, bringing some great Doctor Who goodness to the Australian fans. Featuring many classic companions and even the Eighth Doctor himself, this is a chance for Whovians to get up and close with the actors and celebrate this wonderful show, in its 50th year. Frazer Hines travelled with Patrick Troughton's Doctor through the 60s as companion Jamie McCrimmon and is a favourite with Aussie fans; we got in touch to see how he's been and looking forward to coming back to Australia.

Well known and highly regarded photographer Roger Ballen (Born in New York City, lives and works in Johannesburg, South Africa) is coming to Australia to exhibit a series of works at the MONA Gallery in Hobart, Tasmania. We caught up with Roger to talk about this exhibition, his latest book Asylum of the Birds and much more to learn more about his craft...

Until very recently, garage-rock quintet The Ninjas were probably Brisbane's best kept musical secret, but the release of their excellent new single 'Yeah Yeah' may be about to change all that. The band already have support slots for the likes of The Cribs and Sticky Fingers under their belts and with more recordings in the pipeline, the future looks bright for the group. We spoke to Pat Ferris (guitar) and Josh Stewart (vocals).

In This Issue: Big releases from Metric and Kid Rock, as well as new announcements from Band of Skulls and Sky Ferreira! Read on...

UK band The KVB are playing a headline show at Boney in Melbourne on December 12. 'Again and Again' is the opening track to the band's album Minus One.

The Little Stevies - sisters Sibylla & Beth Stephen - have been busy touring around Australia this October & November promoting the release of their new album Diamonds For Your Tea.

Dan Webb has been releasing demos of tracks for free download, one per month this year, leading up to the release of his debut album in May 2014. 'Departure' is the latest track to be released, featuring Kylie Auldist.

My relationship with Muse started in…2005, I believe. In between Absolution and Black Holes and Revelations, my best friend showed me one of a music video because she thought Matt Bellamy was a total babe. Duh. Since then, I feel like the collective fan base have been through a lot with them. We stuck through the Twilight period, recovered from Bellamy’s engagement to Kate Hudson, indulged Dom Howard’s love of leopard print and bodysuits and stuck up for the trio when the idea of featuring ‘dubstep’ seemed to be blasphemous. The ‘2nd Law Tour’ that the trio recently kicked off in Australia evidently is as much about thanking the fans as it is about showcasing their latest album and by the end of it, it's hard to believe they played their first SA show over the road at The Gov over three albums ago.

Nazia caught up with Ed Saloman, frontman of Indie quintet Louis London to have a chat about their latest EP The Big Deep, stripping down and nutting up for the "This Night Time" clip and the hazardous effects of late night Bikram Yoga on tour.

A regular fixture at Berghain and co-founder of party-label Dystopian, Rødhåd has built his reputation primarily through his marathon techno sets, although his more recent foray into production has earned the German native a broader following.

There's nothing quite like the feeling of sitting down, listening to an album and doing nothing but allowing the music to completely absorb itself into every pore of your body, whisking you away into the world it inhabits. It may sound crazy, but that's exactly the feeling Nashville duo Hammock manage to evoke with their sixth studio album Oblivion Hymns. A soothing, ambient collection of primarily instrumental tracks, this album finds a way to carefully reach its way into the heart of those listening and bring to the surface every little emotion in a tidal wave of hypnotic guitar work.

Securing its position among Sydney’s elite NYE soirees, Falcona has again teamed up with Cargo to present the hottest ticket in town, New Years Eve On The Harbour 2013.

Them Bruins have launched the clip for their new single "Outrun the Future". The Melbourne band has played with the likes of Jeremy Neale and APES.
