The film is scheduled for release on October 5, 2012, and it will be the first stop-motion film to be released in IMAX 3D.

Rapidly rising British group Bombay Bicycle Club pen songs which are full of brooding, atmospheric sounds combined with a strong indie-rock sensibility. These fashionable North Londoners have createdthree contrasting albums in as many years, churning out a kind of soft-serve sweetness that completely neutralizes your critical reasoning skills. Their latest tour de forceA Different Kind of Fix hones in on a more stripped back style of beauty, with songs like “How Can You Swallow So Much Sleep” and “Beg”, sheer cherries on the top of a majestic musical cake.

Review by Billy Geary
After spending the last few months writing for their next album, Perth progressive rockers Karnivool were back in Melbourne for three sold out shows. Friday night was the second show in the huge run around Australia, with Karnivool showcasing a few new tracks to tide fans over until the album’s release.
Sydney based post rockers sleepmakeswaves and Melbourne locals Redcoats were the lucky musicians selected as supports.
The wall of sound from sleepmakeswaves made for an outstanding start to the evening. Despite being entirely instrumental, the quartet quickly won over the entire crowd as they progressed through their short set. The majority of their set was taken from their 2011 album …and so we destroyed everything, with ‘To You They Are Birds, To Me They Are Voices In The Forest’ and ‘(Hello) Cloud Mountain’ being particular highlights.
