Album Reviews: Ed Banger Records - Ed Rec. Vol X (2013 LP)

Ed Banger Records - Ed Rec. Vol X (2013 LP)

“French electronica” is a phrase I have used on various occasions to sway friends towards seeing various acts on festival line-up and it has rarely ever failed. This is because the French have consistently produced and exported exciting and progressive electronic music for years whether it be Daft Punk, Air or M83 such artists have always led at the forefront.

Adelaide Cabaret Festival Review: Rramp - Space Theatre, Adelaide (12.06.13)

Rramp began its Adelaide Cabaret Festival run tonight and the Space Theatre filled quickly with punters, great to see on a Wednesday night in this town. I had no idea what I was getting into, just that the brilliantly interesting Christine Johnston was behind this production and that alone sold me.

Sydney Film Festival Review: Heaven (Australia, 2013)

The Dendy shorts nominated film Heaven continues the proud Australian screen tradition/obsession of ‘films about drugs’ (Candy, The Mule, Wasted on the Young, etc) that has been a pretty constant theme of the past 10 years. Despite this saturation, the short film is quite touching and masterfully pulled off by Writer and Director Maliar Lahooti.

the AU interview: Ian Berney of Birds of Tokyo (Perth)

Birds of Tokyo - fair to say that the band is one of the country's best live bands going at the moment. With killer live shows and a penchant for forming some damn catchy anthems which have the ability to rouse high levels of off-key-in-the-shower singing both in the privacy of ones home and in the company of thousands, the lads are fitting members on this year's Splendour in the Grass festival bill. Ian Berney chats with me about the band's year so far, new material, and the irony of him taking on interviews.
