  Pnau Hits the Big Time
  Disco, Release (3)

  Apparently Koshy is a bit of a fan... I had a chat with Pete Mayes from Pnau yesterday about their live show, the hazards of large suits and Elton John. We'll be chucking up some edited highlights very soon!

  The E.L.F has an E.P
  Release, Tour (0)

  Everyone has known about and crapped on about The E.L.F, Darren Cross of Gerling's side-project, for ages now. That's because it's pretty good, ya know. Like, really good. He's taken the sweeping, party-starting vibe of Gerling's originals, added a dash of epic and two slices of 'pow - right in the kisser' , and so he has created the Stevie Nicks Heart EP. Sweet. Everyone knows that already. But did you know you can B.U.Y the E.P from a S.H.O.P such as J.B HIFI or I.TUNES in two (count em', 2) days? Bet you flippin' didn't. Did you also know it ...

  Big Day Out: A retrospective continued
  Melbourne, Reviews, Tour (7)

  Sorry Sydney (Hi Bec!), but Bjork was amazing - such a powerful voice in such a tiny freak. The most exciting thing about her set wasn't the 20 million piece horn section dressed like extras from The Mummy 3, the ethereal sounds emanating from her back up singers or the very fact she hasn't come to Australia in about 13 years. The real highlight was the super-dooper-sick magnetic fuck-a-tron synth from the future that her band used. The large screens either side of the stage were fixated upon it for almost her entire set, which i actually missed the end ...

  Big Day Out: A Retrospective
  Reviews, Tour (3)

  I went to the Big Day Out and it was good. It's the eighth I've been to, and while it wasn't VERY good, it was still good. Melbourne's new venue at the Flemington Racecourse (as opposed to the Showgrounds located at Flemington racecourse - go figure) was very spacious and well managed. You could stand a few light-years away and still see the band without comprising too much on sound. For example: And it still kicked arse! But it wasn't all peachy. I was front row for Midnight Juggernauts, and could barely hear what Vince was mumbling about. They still kicked ...

  The Scientists of Modern Music
  Exclusive, Tour (1)

  If you're Australian, then you've heard of Boags Draught, Boags Premium Lager and Boags St George Super premium Lager, but what else is Tasmania (mainland Australia's shunned little brother) good for? Well, Nek and myself (ie: Duncan) went to see Tasmania�s hottest new export last Friday at the Espy in Melbourne. They�re called The Scientists of Modern Music and they gave us all a practical class in kicking out the jams. After knocking out the kids at Falls Festival with their fists of synthesized fury, the Scientists have turned their synth-pop gaze to the mainland - and they�ve set phasers to ...

  Danger is his first name…
  Tour (6)

  Danger is coming to town in early February. Danger you say? Danger as in unfenced pools and recently mopped floors? Of course not, you big fat silly dick! I mean Danger, that mysterious French electro producer who, like his esteemed countrymen, has a strange affinity for pyramids. But while Daft Punk's pyramid was constructed of flashy lights, steel and 100%-pure-visual-ecstasy, Danger prefers more traditional, terrifying materials for his own pyramid designs. Seriously, check out his MySpace... Shits scary! The Trashbags crew in Sydney have already shotgunned him for a gig on the 9th and 16th of February. According to my abacus, that leaves ...

  You know when you're just trawling the internet and despite being fully aware that the sum of human knowledge is at your finger-tips, you can't seem to find anything interesting to look at? Well it was during one of these extended sessions that i stumbled upon this tid-bit of fun on Crooker's myspace.... 7 Mar 2008 12:00 P Australian Tour @ Electric Circus (one love club) Adelaide 8 Mar 2008 12:00 P Australian Tour @ One Love (Tank Nightclub) Sydney 9 Mar 2008 12:00 P Australian Tour @ One Love (Prince of Wales) Melbourne 13 Mar 2008 12:00 P Australian Tour @ One Love (Monastery Nightclub) Brisbane 14 Mar 2008 12:00 P Australian Tour @ One Love (metropolis nightclub) Perth 15 ...
