Fringe - Adam Hills

To say that 2008 was a colossal year for comedian Adam Hills would be an understatement.

"Yeah, it's most certainly gone alright," modestly responds the man in question after I list a few of his achievements: firstly his Gold Logie nomination for hosting the hit quiz show, 'Spicks & Specks', and, along with his co-stars, Myf Warhurst, and Alan Brough, appearing on the cover of 'Rolling Stone' magazine. Sharing his excitement for the latter, I ask Hills if he then duly bought 'twelve copies' for his mother? "Well, she certainly got a few," he replies, "and I've also got a massive A3 poster of that too which I'm going to get framed for when I finally get a study."


  The P.K. 14
City Weather Sailing
Maybe Mars/ Tenzenmen

Two things become overwhelmingly clear reading the press release for 'City Weather Sailing' - the record company want you to know that The P.K. 14 are THE NEXT BIG BAND OUT OF CHINA and that they should be seen as a contemporary Asian version of NY art-punkers Television. Add to that a list of influences which essentially includes all American music from 1950 onwards and an album cover that looks like a Mars Volta cast-off, and you could understand why I was somewhat dubious.
