Finally Adelaide has not one but TWO monthly breaks nights being launched this month. 'Pop Ya Cherry' happens once a month at Tonic and features John Doe & Anzac in the back room with Brendon, James & Damage taking care of proceedings out the front on Fri 18 Nov. Each month a selection of Adelaide's finest will be making guest appearances with 2004 breaks DJ of the year K2 steppin' up for a 2 hour jam!
The second monthly club is the ABC Spring Jam at Sugar on Fri
25 Nov. DJs John Doe, Noodle, Didge, Spark, Anzac and Lachy
Pender have joined forces to create the Adelaide Breaks Collective
in a concerted effort to get breaks to the forefront in this
town. They are going all out on promoting our homegrown talent
and their ability to destroy a dancefloor, so if you're curious
about the sound that the rest of Australia has been digging
make sure you get along!
Schoolies is on again in Victor Harbour on Sun 27 Nov, and for all the hip-hop heads Da Klinic are hosting a throwdown stage with Terra Firma and Shep, along with the Da Klinic breakers. There's also going to be a MC battle, judged by Terra Firma, on the second stage right after Joel Turner does his thing. This is expected to be one of the funniest MC battles ever as every MC is expected to roast the Idol upstart good and proper.
With an unprecedented success with their 2003 album 'The Calling',
released on seminal hip-hop imprint Obese Records, The Hilltop
Hoods have been busy playing to packed out shows and festivals
everywhere. To celebrate the South Australian trio's success
a brand new DVD, featuring live performances, film clips, backstage
antics, a photo gallery, outtakes, special features, and an
sneak peek at some of their latest material is being released
this month, ahead of their forthcoming as-yet-to-be-titled album
which drops in the Autumn of next year.

And in what I think is the greatest news of this year, the incredible
Pop Will Eat Itself are recording a new album, the first one
in nine years. Announced on the official 'unofficial' website
PWEINation.org, a brief 10-minute mash of ten new tunes was
released in MP3 form and distributed via bittorrent. The sonic
noise byte wasn't nearly enough, leaving desperate fans hungry
for more. Another act that announced their long awaited album
was Massive Attack. Vocalist/producer Robert Del Naja recently
appeared on their official forum saying, "We've recorded vocals
on about 5 tracks and have vocals to put down on at least 15
more before Christmas which is drawing horrifically close".
We live in a golden age.
