Admirers of seminal alternative rock and genre-bending music take notice; Chugg Entertainment today announces the landmark return of Radiohead to Australia & New Zealand.

Live Review | Roxette @ Brisbane Entertainment Centre – 24th February 2012

Review by Lauren Sherritt
Twenty-three years ago, on the week I was born, Roxette topped the Australian charts with smash hit The Look. Little could I have known then that over two decades on I would be watching the Swedish duo, still full of pop-energy and sing-along-able choruses, playing that very song to a crowd of over ten thousand of their most dedicated Australian fans.

The second Brisbane show of Roxette’s first Australian tour in over sixteen years was kicked off by tour companions 1927. Crowds poured into Brisbane’s Entertainment Centre, saturated by the heavy rain outside, excited to see this first rate band smash out old favourites If I could and That’s When I Think of You. Singer Erik Weideman dedicated the ever moving Compulsory Hero to those serving in the armed forces and it was clear to see that the audience were touched. It was easy to get a sense of Weideman’s excitement to be touring with Roxette, his schoolboy smile and the bounce in his step leaving no sense of playing things rock’n’roll cool, and as he left the stage his energy infected the already super-hyped crowd as they waited for the band to appear.

Fresh from her main stage performance at Falls Festival and jam-packed Big Top appearance at Southbound, Gossling (aka Helen Croome) has revealed plans for her new single, EP and several live performances in the coming months.

Groovin’ The Moo line-up update: Chiddy Bang cancel.
Ball Park Music joins the tribe.

Groovin’ the Moo (GTM) regrets to announce Chiddy Bang will no longer be part of the GTM 2012 National tour. Unfortunately they have chosen to cancel their Australian commitments preferring to focus on new TV and radio promotional opportunities for their upcoming album in the USA.

This decision is very disappointing and totally out of our control. However GTM is very pleased to announce that J Award Unearthed Artist of the Year winners Ball Park Music will be joining the GTM tour.

Tour News: The Exploited – Australia & New Zealand Tour | April 2012

This April, riot starting, bouncer bashing, cop baiting, hotel trashing, foul talking, noise making, chaos causing, venue wrecking, government hating, rule breaking, piss taking, unrelenting, punk rock band THE EXPLOITED bring their politically charged live show to East Coast Australia and Auckland.

THE EXPLOITED announce another support act for their Melbourne show in April. Local four-piece hardcore street punk band, The Worst, join the Melbourne line up at The Corner Hotel, alongside hard punk rock outfit Chainsaw Hookers – who will join The Exploited in all three cities – and rock ’n roll juggernauts, Wolfpack.

Coast three-piece, The Scam complete the Brisbane bill and Sydney’s home-town rhythm driven, noisy guitar three piece, skinpin will get the Manning Bar off to a pounding start.

The Exploited are not ‘punkers’ or any of the other cutesy, watered down, TV friendly names you might want to call them. The Exploited are punk rock.

Formed in 1979, the quartet created a simple, no-frills sound characterized by speed and aggression. Led by vocalist Wattie Buchan, The Exploited is one of the UK’s most politically outspoken thrash bands, who has built a strong and loyal following both at home and abroad for its anti-authoritarian stance and criticism of the government, particularly in the Reagan/Thatcher era.
