We took some time to review Foxing's new album. Read all about it!
Midland Grain Silo
Every now and then, you’ll find somewhere that captures you. One of my spots is the Midland Grain Silo. What was a huge symbol of agricultural history of Midland, is now a hotspot for street art.
Soairse Ronan shines in period drama "Brooklyn"
I generally balk at the love dichotomy so often presented in movies – I’m certainly not one to gasp “Oh my stars I wonder who the young lass will choose?! How absolutely DELIGHTFUL to be young!” – but I feel that Brooklyn hits a deeper note than the surface may initially suggest.
Deafheaven - New Bermuda
So the release of New Bermuda was always going to come with a certain weight of expectation that the gang had to live up to this masterpiece of modern post-black-metal-shoe-gaze-funk. And it does.
Mathas - Armwrestling Atlas (AT LAST!)
Mathas is at his best when he makes the political personal, as on “Nourishment”, which has an excellent contribution from Abbe May. All of this is delivered in a flow that often sounds a bit like Mathas is just having a particularly stimulating conversation, and he just happens to be talking quite fast.
Cosmic Gratitude: Beach House delivers an unexpected gift
Delving deeper into the album, it becomes clear that this release has higher highs and lower lows; there’s an edginess that was not present before. If Depression Cherry was walking into the waves at sunset, TYLS is jogging along a cliff during a blood moon.
LAST DINOSAURS | Live at Jimmy's Den (U18s)
Drummer Dan Koyama’s energy was inimitable – alongside cathartic guitar relief via Lachlan Caskey and Michael Sloane, who accompanied on vocals. Such an unmistakable dynamic had loyal gatherers on their toes, comfortably singing along to old school Last Dinos.
"Legend" doubles down on Tom Hardy; skimps on everything else
Movies these days try too hard to please all audiences. I say just pick an approach and stick with it, who cares about people on dates. As the great Ron Swanson once said, “Never half ass two things, whole ass one thing”.
Angove Street Festival - 25th October
For music lovers, the most exciting aspect of the one-day event would perhaps be its string of musicians performing live at the Rosemount main stage.
"Learning to Drive" plays it safe; keeps us firmly belted to our seats
Learning to Drive follows Wendy (Patricia Clarkson), a book-reviewer who has been recently dumped up with by her cheating husband of 21 years. And quite predictably, thanks to the on-the-nose title, she decides to learn how to drive (shock, horror, gasp!)
TRACK BY TRACK – OUGHT’S NEW RECORD “SUN COMING DOWN”
It’s difficult to pin point exactly what’s so alluring about Ought. Almost exactly equal parts visceral to cerebral, their music lays all of its influences out on the canvas but presents post punk in a fresh and exciting way.
Hitting the bottle: a (non)definitive list of our favourite bottle episodes
Coming off the high from this year's Emmy awards, we take a look at 10 fantastic bottle episodes of television in the past decade.
LAST DINOSAURS | A Chat with Sean Caskey, Ahead of ‘Wellness’ Tour
We spoke with the Last Dinosaurs ahead of their tour next month. Read all about it here.
Film Review: "People, Places, Things"
Being a fan of Flight of the Conchords, the prospect of seeing Jemaine Clement back in his natural habitat (New York, obviously) was an exciting one. I walked into the film feeling quite confident that I’d be getting a few laughs in, apparently so was the lady who sat next to me. Her cackle was often so loud and piercing, I’d miss the punchline completely.
Code Orange Are Touring Australia and Put On Your Dancing Shoes
Thanks to Resist they'll be stopping by all major cities and Newcastle, tickets are going quick, and are available at oztix.
Hiatus Kaiyote 'Choose Your Weapon' Album Launch
GCR & CPN brought over Hiatus Kaiyote to play a few of their neo-soul tunes from their new LP Choose Your Weapon. Koi Child & JAALA supported & we had a jolly good time.
The Drones at The Rosemount, 2015
The Drones walked their way into our sights to welcoming applause. Whereas their counterparts were mostly silent beneath their titanic sounds, front-man Gareth Liddiard was all to ready to engage in some blatantly Aussie 'banter' about how far Perth is behind the rest of the modern world.
"Not Truly Defective" : In Defence of True Detective Season 2
I’m going to admit something controversial. I liked the latest season of True Detective.
Please, withhold ditching your snide remarks and moldy fruit at me quite yet and let me explain myself.
The Drones - Interview
For all those excited about welcoming local favourites The Drones back home this Friday the 22nd at The Rosemount, we managed to get a quick interview in with these Australian rock titans before their celebratory performance of the 10 year anniversary of 'Wait long by the river and the bodies of your enemies will float by'.
