For some time now there’s been a rather bizarre rumour that Nick Cave wants to raise thousands of dollars to erect a bronze statue of himself in his hometown of Warracknabeal, Victoria. As the story goes Nick wants a full size likeness of himself, semi-nude and riding a horse.
Now I’m not sure whether all the […]
Not content with winning ARIA Awards and selling bucketloads of albums, Sarah Blasko’s decided to branch out a little. She’s currently composing the score for the Bell Shakespeare company’s latest adaptation of Hamlet.
This is her first foray into the world of theatre, but Sarah told The Sunday Telegraph she’s thoroughly enjoying it.
“I was so nervous […]
If you missed out on Splendour in the Grass tickets I’ve got some good news. I can’t get you in to see the whole thing, but I can tell you that The Wombats have announced some sideshows. This addictive British band is one of the festival’s biggest drawcards, so these shows are sure to be […]
If you haven’t got your Splendour in the Grass tickets yet it looks like you might be out of luck. All 17, 500 tickets were snapped up yesterday by enthusiastic fans … or at least the ones who didn’t suffer the online glitches.
Many customers experienced lengthy delays using the ticketing website Qjump, while others got […]
Long time readers of this blog may remember me writing about Krista Polvere last year. This Adelaide singer songwriter was hanging out in the USA with the likes of Ryan Adams and Ray LaMontagne while preparing her debut album Here Be Dragons.
Fast forward several months and the album is finally ready to be unleashed. And […]
Sorry Queensland Guy Sebastian fans. The newly married soul star has postponed his upcoming Queensland shows.
Apparently The Memphis Album was a bigger success than SonyBMG every dreamed of, so they’re preparing to release the album globally early next year. Guy’s also going to release his next album around the same time.
All that means Guy has […]
Could a Canadian snag the Australian Song of the Year Award? They just might, after the song “1, 2, 3, 4″ penned by Canadian singer Feist and Aussie girl Sally Seltmann was nominated for the APRA song of the year award.
But the dynamic duo will face stuff competition from Silverchair’s “Straight Lines,” Powderfinger’s “Lost and […]
One of the things I love most about writing this blog is that it allows me to discover some fantastic new music. The most recent disc to rev me is Dave Anderson’s soon to be released debut album Wish it All Away.
It’s an album with all the right ingredients. The songs are original, yet accessible. […]
With all the excitement of Jason Mraz’s tour announcement yesterday, I forgot to check the ARIA charts. So I did it today, and I was thrilled to see Gabriella Cilmi has taken back to the top spot with “Sweet About Me.” She ousted the powerhouse duo of Madonna and Justin Timberlake to do it, so […]
One of my favourite singer-songwriter’s Jason Mraz is heading back to Australia. After his last Sydney show clashed with my sister’s sweet 16 party, I’m thrilled. Jason’s back here to promote his new album We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things, which hit shelves yesterday.
He may have been out here just two months ago, but […]
