IntotheMask aren’t content with just bringing commedia dell'arte to Perth, they are seeking to form a unique version of it on the shores of the swan.
Fringe World Festival: EastEnd Caberet, Dirty Talk
This entrepreneurial duo will attempt any kind of seductive ploy to swindle the audience into the world of their salacious antics. No seat is safe from Bernadette’s promiscuous eye or her determined perusals amongst the audience, especially since her microphone is cordless.
Midlandia Locale
Not burdened by success, Midlandia is worth attending because it has to be.
Film Review: All Is Lost
As the final credits rolled, I felt completely satisfied. The film concludes without falling into any clichés and the ending itself is equal parts dramatic and graceful. All Is Lost is a fantastic look into the despair of a hopeless situation and one mans journey through it.
MTNS Talk Salvage, Recording and Disney Records Ahead Of First Gig In Perth
Crowd response is so critical to our performance... A good indicator of a successful night is when we notice the crowd subtly closing their eyes and moving their head to the music, little things like that make a big difference.

Fringe Festival Opening Night: DeLuxe Tent
Everybody loves to laugh. Live comedy id one of my absolute favourite things so I decided that I would spend most of my time trying to make myself laugh until my brains fell out. I spent the opening night at Fringe in the DeLuxe tent and it was an interesting and eclectic lineup, and if last night was anything to go by, Fringe this year is going to be a good one!
Karnivool, Dead Letter Circus and sleepmakeswaves @ Red Hill Auditorium 23/1/14
The blend of songs that the band dished up was perfect. Their longer progressive pieces kept the stoners happy, whilst there was enough heavy numbers to get the moshpit well and truly pumping.
The Vaudevillians - Teatro - Perth Fringe Festival
From start to finish I had a smile on my face, clever historical jokes from the era opened the performance and an upbeat and catchy duet sung by the couple showed the audience what they were in for.
Modern Classic Albums Part 6: 50-41
After some severely tardy article production from this writer, part 6 of the 100 Modern Classic Albums is finally here! As we move into the second half of the list, things start getting seriously interesting. Would any of these albums make your top 10 modern classics?
Film Review: The Wolf of Wall Street
Hugely morally ambivalent and carefree, The Wolf of Wall Street is a lighthearted trip through a world, through the eyes and the life of a man who really does not give a fuck about anyone or anything outside his own desires. A lighthearted trip through a fairly dark space.
GALLERY: Karnivool, Dead Letter Circus and sleepmakeswaves @ Red Hill Auditorium
On the last date of their Polymorphism Tour, Karnivool produced a perfect performance, shadowing both of the openers' sets, leaving a collective grin across the face of the crowd.
FRINGE World Perth: The Calm Before The Storm
This year’s Fringe Festival is the most ambitious to date; With over 200 acts performing over the 4 weeks beginning with tonight’s VIP launch, as well as expanding into the Swan region with Midlandia (so much class with the extra ‘i’) nobody could argue with that.
Homelessness in Perth: A Week on the Streets
Homelessness in Perth exists and it is confronting. There were rich stories and insights into what happens in the underbelly of our city. I heard of prostitution, drug creation and seeking jail as a place of desire. It was difficult for me to listen to sheer disrespect of the law.
Half Moon Run w/Tiger Towns - Fly By Night, Fremantle
Regardless of drunk tourists talking in front of me the whole show, I had an inexplicably amazing experience watching a band I can only describe as effortlessly enchanting, with a dirty grunge appeal. A band I will see again and a band I will recommend to all my friends and anyone reading this. Kudos to Half Moon Run.
Oliver Tank Chats About His Latest EP, Touring Perth in February
I'll be playing a bunch of new tracks plus some old favourites. The live show has come a long way since I last played in Perth and I'm just excited to get in front of everyone again. Plus the Bakery is a really cool venue and it'd be good to chill there again and have some drinks
MTNS - Salvage EP
It’s post-rock, experimental, synthy and has an undeniable pop element to it. This Brisbane three piece have seemingly struck a winning formula early on their debut EP Salvage.
POND with Doctopus @ Metropolis Fremantle
POND, as a live animal, give a lot to the audience. When frontman Nick Allbrook isn’t wide-armed screaming to the crowd he is throwing himself around, writhing on the floor in the sweat dripping from his oh-so-Fremantle flanno.
the GROWLERS - Gilded Pleasures EP
The Growlers' Gilded Pleasures is a great EP, however given the current popularity of nostalgia soaked rock on first listen it can lack a certain punch. However, Gilded Pleasures' opener 'Dogheart II' will drag you in, and the EP constantly rewards on subsequent listenings, before heading into high rotation on your playlist.
