TesseracT Aussie Tour

POLARIS is the bands third album and follows 2013’s highly regarded Altered State. A band sometimes lumped in with terms like ‘tech-metal, progressive or djent as an easy way to categorise, TesseracT are much more. A band full of melody, dynamics and groove, they sit outside the bounds of any genre specificity to truly create a sound that has always been pioneering and creative. An unstoppable force of off-kilter riffs, soaring melodies and disorientating atmospherics, TesseracT are ...

A Walk In The Woods Comeptition

Reluctant to settle into retirement, Bryson (Redford) challenges himself to hike the legendary Appalachian Trail – over 2,100 miles through some of the most spectacular and rugged wilderness in America. But the peace and tranquillity he hopes to find on the grand trail proves elusive when he agrees to make the journey with his old high school buddy Katz; a wisecracking, larger-than-life personality who is out of shape and arguably out of his mind. As the two men set off into the wildern...

She’s Funny That Way Movie Review

It casts some big names in familiar roles such as Owen Wilson as the goofy good guy, Rhys Ifans as the tinsel town lothario and Debi Mazar as a powerful lady behind the scenes. It also successfully casts some against type such as Jennifer Aniston who is great as the crazy shrink and Cybill Shepherd who is very convincing as a frumpy housewife. The snappy repartee brings to mind the feel of a Woody Allen film but without the baggage. The cinematography and set design make sure the viewer ...

Chet Faker 2015 East Coast Tour

It will be a final celebration of his multi-platinum, chart-topping album Built on Glass. Chet completely sold out his entire 13-date tour earlier this year including a remarkable two Hordern Pavilions and five Palais Theatres. The 'Built on Live’ Tour, the last time Chet will be on home soil in quite a while, is set to be just as popular. Chet says: “I’ve played over 200 shows since the album came out, and during that time the songs and the show itself has evolved so much further ...

Hitman: Agent 47 Movie Review

The film starts with a very European feel and then transcends into a fairly typical format of chase scene, hand to hand combat (with only one winner) and bad guys who never hit their target while the good bad guy never misses. The pace is frantic with only the cityscape and country change to provide a temporary respite of the onslaught. Friend is effective as the experiment in killing machines with the trace of a conscious but it’s hard not to miss Olyphant and his Manson lamps. The ...

The Waifs Beautiful You Tour

Victorian singer songwriter Sal Kimber will open shows in WA, and long time friend and guitar player extraordinaire Mia Dyson will join the band for the Eastern States shows. With more than two decades of solid international touring under their belts, The Waifs have built a reputation of faultless live shows, earning them a dedicated and loyal fan base here at home and across the globe. The emotionally raw but musically buoyant Beautiful You demonstrates the easy chemistry that has ...

Southpaw Movie Review

The film also provides further proof (if any more is actually needed) on how fine an actor Jake Gyllenhaal has become. His take on the lead role, that of boxer Billy Hope is absolutely mesmeric. His time in the gym and time spent training to learn the techniques of boxing have paid real dividends. Gyllenhaal fills the screen with electricity and menace and he makes the most out of what is a rather pedestrian screenplay. Sutter’s ability to plumb the depths of emotion is slight in this ...

Sam Smith 2015 Return Australian Tour

“Australia, I am so so happy to finally have some good news for you.. I can now announce that my cancelled IN THE LONELY HOUR tour dates have been rescheduled!!   I’m unbelievably excited to get back onstage and perform for you all again, and I promise it will be so much better than it would have been before when my voice was damaged. The past few months have been incredibly difficult, but the support, love and patience my fans have shown me is absolutely unreal. I am so grateful to ...

Tkay Maidza National Tour

Last week Tkay dropped the long-awaited clip for her current hit single ‘M.O.B’ which sees the return of the cartoon Tkay depicted in last year’s ‘Switch Lanes’ and introduces a new badass space Maidza. In a blaze of lasers, spaceship drag races and mad skills, the two battle it out in the quest to reign as the ...
