Cloud Control aren’t the band you’d expect to be super secretive about a new song, let alone an upcoming record, but when it comes to their anticipated sophomore LP – the follow up to the AMP Award winning Bliss Release – mum is definitely the word from both band and management. Which makes it especially…

The degustation is now a staple of modern dining culture, with chefs from around the world keen to show off their signature dishes – as well as road test a few new ideas – to their customers, through a night of multiple courses, matching wines and, as is all the rage, a theme to go…

The Sydney Theatre Company’s production of Fury is the latest play from Melbourne playwright Joanna Murray-Smith whose past works including The Female of the Species and Honour have scored her a myriad of awards and acclaim, both at home and abroad. Fury has been garnering a similar level of critical success since it premiered at…

Indie darlings Tegan and Sara have come a long way over the last eight years since their first visit to Australia. It was 2005 and they had come as the support act for Little Birdy.

Spring Break forever, or not for forever, that is the question. I had the opportunity to see Spring Breakers last month at the SXSW Film Festival and ever since then I’m been struggling to articulate how I felt about the experience.

There is a lot that can be said about Stone Music Festival. What happened to the event before tickets went on sale was something quite telling of the nature of the current industry, and what happened after tickets went on sale perhaps showed the organiser’s lack of foresight, albeit a strong ability to adapt. And…

Has there been a more anticipated album release in recent memory? Sure, Justin Timberlake got everyone talking… but not like this. Every announcement comes with more mystery than the last, and there are more rumours out there than facts. All we know is that we can’t wait to hear the next Daft Punk record. Update:…
