Last week saw Kim Churchill’s national tour roll into Western Australia, with a selection of dates, including Saturday night’s show at Fremantle’s Norfolk Basement. The venue’s intimate nature providing perhaps the perfect setting to see the evenings two acts at work.

New Kids On The Block and the Backstreet Boys pulled a big crowd to the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on Monday Night. The AU Review's Kerrie Geier was there to capture the spectacular event.

Cassette Kids broke onto the Australian music scene after winning the prestigious Triple J Unearthed competition in 2008. Following on from that early breakthrough the band continued to build their success with the We Are EP, before gaining widespread acclaim for their support slots with the likes of The Presets and Lily Allen.

Mystery Jets are back in full force with the release of their fourth studio album Radlands. The band has had promise since the beginning, following the steady success of their debut album, Making Dens back in 2006. The polished follow up, Twenty One, had an unmistakable air of success, while the slower build up of Serotonin left us all wondering what to expect next.

It's interesting to note that for Alex Scally and Victoria Legrand - the duo known as Beach House - Bloom isn't exactly the bright, luminescent, or flowery album title some of us may have imagined. In fact, as explained in an interview with Pitchfork, for the Baltimore-based musicians it has a slightly darker tone, encapsulating the temporal and "cyclical nature of all things".

Worried about the sun dying in fifty billion years? Never fear, you have company.

Australian comedian Charlie Pickering is a little bit nervous too, but mostly about the evolution of the human race. You know, because somewhere along our journey in this Darwinian world we started having trouble operating microwaves.
