Gwendolyn Lee brings us this photo gallery from The Script‘s intimate show at the Metro in Sydney tonight.

While she was at BIGSOUND last month, we sat down with the beautiful Thelma Plum to talk about her latest EP Monsters, where she wears her heart on her sleeve to say the least. We look ahead to her massive national tour – which kicks off on October 30th – and talk about how things…

the AU review captures artists Angie Hart, Katie Noonan, Sam Buckingham and Maples performing the Prince track “When You Were Mine” off the collaborative album Songs That Made Me. 100% of the album’s profits go to Cancer Council and it is released Friday, October 17th ahead of a November/December tour in celebration of the record….

One lineup we keep seeing pop up around the internets at the moment is the Las Vegas based Life is Beautiful, which will see OutKast play their final scheduled performance, Foo Fighters return to the festival stage and Kanye West treat Kanye West to headlining a festival once again. And let’s not forget the Australians…

I was fortunate enough to travel around India with Sheppard back in 2012 (you can look back at the interview I conducted with them HERE) and by the end of that trip, having seen them live a good 5 or 6 times, I never wanted to hear their catchy single “Let Me Down Easy” again….

Yesterday we brought you the first six games in our feature on the best Nintendo 64 games of all time – just in time for Nintendo’s 125th Anniversary (yep, that’s not a typo). Today, we bring you the top six… counting us down to number one! 6. Donkey Kong 64 Another Rare gem. Taking all…

In the world of The Walking Dead you are “either the butcher, or the cattle” according to the once-benevolent folk of Terminus, and so we continue exploring the rewritten rules of humanity in this horribly bleak, post-apocalyptic landscape. In “No Sanctuary”, the epic premiere of the fifth season, there was a perfect balance of this…

Some of cinemas most celebrated titles are set to return to the big screen at Event Cinemas George Street, with the recent launch of the In The House Cinema Series.

Lee (Keener) is a photographer who documents the plights of refugees in war torn countries. Her most recent assignment brings her to Libya where she is detained for brutal questioning.

Armageddon Melbourne is coming up this weekend, giving fans of sci-fi, pop culture, anime and more the chance to meet some amazing actors, animators, illustrators and more. Taking place at the Melbourne Showgrounds on October 18th and 19th, you can bet that there are going to be some killer cosplays, hilarious panels and more coming…

David Fincher’s Gone Girl has proven itself to be the must-see movie of the moment by smashing the competition to take the top spot at the Australian box office for the second weekend in a row. The film made an incredible $4.1 million over the weekend, only dropping around $0.6 million from last weekend, which is an incredibly…

So here we are at the midway point of the eighth season of revived Who. And what a ride it’s been. I’m not sure about anyone else but I feel like Capaldi’s first season as The Doctor has flown by and Jenna? Who’d have thought Clara would have developed into the character we’ve seen her become, especially in the last…

When all you’ve known is wealth and privilege, it’s a long fall from the top of the social ladder. But some do fall, and that’s exactly what happened to Jackie O’s aunt and cousin, Edith Ewing Bouvier Beale (Edie) and her daughter Edith Bouvier Beale (Little Edie). The demise of two eccentric yet ultimately enigmatic…

Rock N Roll is full of myths, legends and tall tales. In 2012 with the release of the award winning documentary Searching for Sugarman, the extraordinary story of Detroit musician Rodriguez was revealed to the world. Since the release of the documentary and the re-release of his albums Cold Fact and Coming from Reality, Rodriguez…

At the age of Eighteen, musician and producer Chase Coy signed to a major label, released a debut album, toured the United States and recorded a duet with Colbie Caillat. However after only six months, in a perfect example of the fickleness of the music industry, Coy was dropped by his label. Cut to nearly…

Having unfortunately missed the always wonderful Caitlin Park, Castlemaine rising star D.D Dumbo hit the stage at the Oxford Art Factory not long after I arrived, serving as the precursor to Melbourne’s Courtney Barnett, playing her second of three sold out shows in Sydney tonight. Looping guitar, vocals, recorders and percussion – potentially even with…

Kim and Pete Kicks make up Melbourne duo Satellite Sky, who currently find themselves based in Los Angeles (where we once caught up with them out the front of an In n’Out Burger) and have had a busy year off their back of their EP Bleary Eyed Fashion. Today, in conjunction with Los Angeles Fashion…

Do a quick Google search on the sleepy French village of Bugarach and you’ll find that its economy “is based on agriculture and tourism”. Sounds pretty quaint and quiet, right? You’d be right to think so. In Sergi Cameron and Ventura Durall’s documentary, also called Bugarach, the town looks like the set of Chocolat. When word…

It’s safe to say that the anxious and impatient fans of the world’s currently most popular anthology series can rest at ease with the arrival of Season Four of American Horror Story. This Season, Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk have brought their devoted fans ‘Freak Show’. Like its previous season, Freak Show appears to be…

Hector & The Search For Happiness is about a psychiatrist who sets out on an overseas journey in order to find joy. The idea is hardly a new one, especially as the self-help genre has already seen the likes of Eat Pray Love and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, among others. Unfortunately, Hector’s story…

Project Spark is kind of a hard game to review. The reason for this is that it’s hard to describe it as a game, per se. It’s a game that allows you to create games, and some pretty complex ones at that. It’s another in a flurry of titles in this post-Minecraft world that are…

Monday You Only Live Twice, GO! 9:30 pm AEST The 1967 instalment of the James Bonds series stars the suave Sean Connery as the famous 007 agent.

AMC’s The Walking Dead has really grown into something much more than what many initially thought it would be. Based on Robert Kirkman’s graphic novels, the series has gone from a six-episode Season 1 to the most in-demand, involving show on TV. It’s done this with a consistent, potent mix of high-end drama, genuinely terrifying…
