Grinspoon. Sunrise, sunset... has is it really been ten years?
After bursting onto the scene out of nowhere (ok, Lismore,
NSW) in 1995, Grinspoon have proven to be Australia's undefeated
champions of good-time rock through album after album, all
the while holding that rare position of massive popularity
and credibility. Their current release, 'Thrills, Kills And
Sunday Pills' will see them heading out on the road throughout
April for the national 'Show Pony Express' tour with Shihad,
so for once you really can believe the hype..
Architecture
In Helsinki In Case We Die Tailem Bend/Inertia
Disclaimer:
you either love Architecture In Helsinki or hate them. If
you had to describe the sound of their debut album and several
(brilliant) EPs in one word, that word would undoubtedly be
"cute". And yes, there are plenty of songs on this, their
second album, that fall into that category. They will either
capture your heart or turn you off the band completely...
As
I leaf through a programme which appears to be about 40 pages
of excellent performances packed into two weeks of actual Cabaret
Festival, it occurs to me to ask Festival Director Julia Holt
whether she feels at all constrained in what she can present
to the ticket buying public.
"I think the great thing is we've got 14 national and international
premieres, and the return of a lot of good shows with some great
new things," she says, Festival Director's hat very firmly in
place. Ye gads, it's very nearly that time of the year again...
We're giving stuff away!
And it's not just because we love you, it's because we respect
you, dear reader, and we do this kind of thing every issue.
So what are you waiting for? Get yerself some free stuff...
