LANIE LANE has announced that she is returning to the stage to play her first live shows of 2013. Performing in stripped-back mode, Lanie will play a swag of brand new tracks and old favourites before heading into to the studio to record her much anticipated 2nd album, the follow up to her gold selling To The Horses.
The success of To The Horses was built largely upon Lanie’s ability to play intimate shows, often with no amplification or PA, in front of audience who were close enough to feel as much a part of the show as they were listeners and observers. They were an all-inclusive affair. These return shows will see Lanie reconnect with old friends on and off stage to showcase her unique and fantastic voice, new songs, old songs and the charisma and warmth that made us all sit up and take notice the first time around.

The GARDEN OF GOOD TIMES that is the Meredith23 Lineup is (way) out now. So are Round One Ballot Results.
There’s a workman like edge to the stage as the steady four piece of Northern NSW’s Grinspoon launched into their set. The wild flailing and feigned punk-rock disinterest from frontman Phil Jamieson are long gone, in its stead are the once-ironic rock poses: the furious grip on the mic stand, the perfectly timed lunge on to the stage monitors and, crucially, the almost trademarked index finger thrust decisively skyward.
Northlane have announced local supports for their fast approaching “Springularity Tour”. Due to take place throughout September, the tour will see the Sydney-based band take to stages in regional and greater metropolitan areas across Australia’s East Coast in the wake of their sold-out capital city tour in June. “The Springularity Tour” marks Northlane’s last set of dates in Australia before an all-out global assault which includes live dates in the UK, mainland Europe and North America over the space of three months before returning to Australia to play Big Day Out 2014 in January. Joining them for the shows will be Perth hardcore act Saviour, who opened the East Coast Rampage tour in June and have amassed over 100,000 YouTube views in one month across their most recent music videos for “Jaded” and “Morning”. Tickets for all shows are on sale now!
In a remarkable feat, EMMA LOUISE has taken home a whopping three awards from the annual Queensland Music Awards (QMAs), held last night at the Tivoli in Brisbane. Currently on a promo trip in Italy where she has a Top 5 hit with ‘Jungle’, gongs were collected on her behalf for Album Of The Year (for her 2013 debut Vs Head Vs Heart), Export Achievement Award and The Courier Mail People’s Choice Award for Most Popular Female.
Grammy Award-winning multiplatinum hard rock innovators KORN have revealed that their 11th studio album, will be released on October 4 2013. Titled ‘The Paradigm Shift’, it marks the emotional return of much-revered co-founding guitarist Brian ‘Head’ Welch for his first album with Korn since 2003’s ‘Take a Look in the Mirror’. This record serves as the follow-up to the band’s critically acclaimed 2011 dubsteb-metal hybrid ‘The Path of Totality’, which entered the Top 10 in the US Billboard chart and was hailed by Revolver Magazine as their ‘Album Of The Year’.
