Triple M Concert Series presents Grinspoon! The band’s history speaks for itself. After landing on a line-up that would continue through to this day, Grinspoon’s star rose fast after claiming triple j’s inaugural Unearthed competition in 1995. Two EPs paved the way for their double Platinum 1997 smash-hit debut, Guide To Better Living. Two years on came the Platinumselling Easy, and in 2002 their Top 2 album New Detention garnered four ARIA Award nominations for the band and their production team. An ARIA was in their grasp soon after, with 2004’s Top 5 Thrills, Kills & Sunday Pills picking up Rock Album of the Year.
Sometimes the best way to bring the team together is to let your ‘inner bogan’ shine. Or if you just want to laugh at two disillusioned guys who think they are rock stars calling out bingo for a living then they may make you feel pretty good too.
Since Bogan Bingo featured on Getaway and Australia’s Got Talent (and somehow featured nicely on A Current Affair) the world’s biggest bingo ‘supergroup’ Bogan Bingo is available nationwide. The show is the perfect mix of music, comedy and crowd interaction that has traditional bingo buffs turning in their graves.
If you like the idea of your friends, punters or colleagues making a fool of themselves as they play air guitar to “Sweet Child Of Mine”, Bogan Bingo may just be the event for you. You’ll find yourself rocking out to all your favourite old school rock songs as you join in the altered version of all the traditional Bingo calls that these guys have created to get you in touch with your inner rock child!
More than your usual trivia night or Karaoke show, the evening includes air guitar competitions, fashion parades, jokes and tunes that rhyme with all the numbers and take you back to the days of bad hair, tragic fashion and great rock and roll.
Each two man show has one wanna-be rock star host, and one misfit DJ, that work together to take everyone on a journey of self discovery that eventually, has the crowd becoming the stars of the show.
Our team is professional and experienced and has run small shows in boardrooms for clients like Tennis Australia, Rip Curl, NAB, to larger venues of over 800 on the P&O Comedy Cruise. It’s is a proven formula that works. And one that will definitely get everyone talking and sharing photos the next day at the office – which may never be the same again!

Since the release of their 2010 album, Lost Boy, MyChildren MyBride have been touring non-stop. In fact guitarist, Robert Bloomfield, when asked what the future holds for the band, has responded, “Touring. This time the world over.” Having already toured the U.S. and Europe extensively, it is now time for this five-piece from Alabama to hit Australia for the very first time.
The Drones are without a doubt one of the most acclaimed and revered bands of modern Australian music. Famous for their exhaustingly brutal live shows, lyrical honesty, and uncompromising approach to their music, The Drones will take to the road to support the release of their Live DVD – A Thousand Mistakes (In Store September 16th 2011 independently through Shock Records).
By Chantelle Sievers The Ivys have set the bar high for themselves, with a reputation for amazing live shows, supporting big names like Keane, and releasing a well received debut EP. Their long-awaited new EP, “In The Company Of Wolves” demonstrates that they still have plenty to offer.
This is a solid collection of new tracks with a more complex and mature sound. Luke Hannaford’s voice soars through each song. There are plenty of riffs not thrown in but cleverly worked in, so no track gets dull at all.
Brisbane vocalist Bec Plath has an amazing voice. On her second EP Nightfall she puts her vocal prowess to good use, sweeping through strong melodic rock ballads, with her voice the strongest element of each song.
In addition to her burgeoning solo career, Plath is a member of successful Brisbane band The Bloodpoets and her bandmates have joined her to provide the instrumentals for this EP.
Things kick off with “Obsession”, an intense track with strong vocals, majestic piano and eerie strings. Plath could have done with some stronger lyrics, but the sheer power of her vocals saves the day. Plath also provides the piano for the piece, playing with prowess.
“What I Was Looking For” is perhaps a stronger song with slightly more complex lyrics and flowing piano that builds into a dramatic instrumental mix. Plath imbues the track with raw emotion and gives a passionate performance that makes you wonder what it would like to see her live. If the level of passion in her voice in this track is anything to go by, it would probably be something spectacular.
“Absent Mind” is more reined in with accomplished strings and flowing piano punctuating the piece which builds dramatically for a strong chorus. Plath’s vocals start out softly and remain held back throughout the song, compared to her other tracks, creating a measured sense of melancholy.
“At The End” is a slow burning track which starts softly and builds in intensity. A dramatic piano intro helps get the song started with Plath ramping up her vocals throughout the song, specifically taking on a sharper quality during the chorus.
Bec Plath has created an accomplished EP full of quality tracks with a dark edge, and powerful vocals. No pop princess, Plath belts out each song with passion. If I have any complaint, it’s that there is a lack of diversity on the album with each track sounding rather similar to those around it. That aside, Plath has a distinct style and brings talent, sheer emotion and technique to her vocals, creating an emotive body of work to make the listener reflect and feel as they are swept away by the music.
Art vs Science’s debut album The Experiment has picked up a nomination for the prestigious J Award, triple j’s award for Australian Album of the Year. The Experiment – which was released in February – debuted at #2 on the ARIA Album Chart and was the youngest album on triple j’s Hottest 100 Australian Albums of All Time.
