MEAT LOAF – GUILTY PLEASURE TOUR
![]() Buy Meat Loaf merchandise here! |
Some people think big. Some people think huge. Then there’s Meat Loaf.
While other artists may have tried to match his scale and sound, so far none have come close. Happily, he’s heading back to Australia & New Zealand for a massive run of arena and A Day On The Green winery shows proudly presented by The Frontier Touring Company and Roundhouse. |
Meat Loaf certainly requires no introduction, he burst onto the world music stage in 1977 with his landmark release Bat Out of Hell, which transformed him from a stage actor into a rock ‘n’ roll icon. This album has sold more than 43 million copies worldwide and is the third biggest selling record of all time, selling in excess of 200,000 copies a year! Significantly, it is still the number one selling international album in Australia with 1,610,000 copies sold and has been awarded 23 x Platinum status.

Roger Waters will perform his masterpiece The Wall to Australia in 2012, continuing the sell-out success of his extensive 2010/2011 tour of North America and Europe.
The Wall, written and produced by Roger Waters, was first performed live by Pink Floyd in 1980.
Originally released in November 1979, The Wall was America’s top-selling album of 1980 and is still in the US Top 5 best-selling albums of all time.

Since their inception in 2007, YOU ME AT SIX have turned heads worldwide with their unique take on pop punk, with “intricate guitar riffs, well placed beats, and a catchy chorus, what more could you ask for?” – Messamusic. The sounds emanating from their latest album ʻHold Me Downʼ give the picture of a band who are proud to have learned their trade the old-fashioned way “and they deserve the right to be in the position they have found themselves in… as a pop-rock powerhouse” – Alter The Press |

There’s a warmth to Colin Hay’s vocals which instantly resonates. There’s no confusion as to what’s to be expected when an acoustic guitar and that Scottish-via-Sydney vocal kicks in. Like others of his ilk – namely Robert Forster, Paul Kelly and to a lessor extent The Church’s Steve Kilbey – his peculiar brand of Australian-ness swells the heart and instantly proves to be a soothing salve.
Suffering from an abundance of talent by a fairly lackadaisical approach to career direction, Hay’s name seems to have dropped out of the contemporary consciousness. Save for the odd appearance on an American sitcom (he seems to be the darling of the US medical satire Scrubs) and a recent legal stoush thanks to an opportunistic claim for copyright infringement, Hay has been relatively out of the public eye since the 1985 implosion of Men at Work.

Frankly! is back for Brisbane Festival 2011 with more esoteric songstresses, enigmatic audio mavericks and otherwise audacious pop deconstructionists. The 2011 festival features a collection of visionary artists and bands from the USA, Japan and Australia.
Making its debut in 2009 and graduating its sophomore year with acts such as Xiu Xiu, High Places and Crayon Fields, Frankly! quickly raised eyebrows in Australia’s indie scene for its innovative program and unique setting at Brisbane’s Powerhouse.

Would you sell your soul for youth, fame, power and love? Michael Gow’s adaptation of the classic tale of Dr. Faustus, the man who sold his soul to the devil, is currently conjuring praise as it plays Brisbane Powerhouse. Presented by the Queensland Theatre Company, together with Bell Shakespeare, the twisted journey is imagined through a mix of live action, video and music – from German arias to death metal, and brought to torturous life by a wonderful cast.

Review: Victoria Nugent
I was a little disappointed when I discovered Marianne Faithfull’s latest album Horses and High Heels consisted mainly of covers. The folk singer better known as a former lover of Mick Jagger during the heyday of the Rolling Stones has over thirty years of singing experience, and I was rather hoping to hear a full body of original songs rather than the mere four present on her 23rd solo album.
Nevertheless Faithfull has gathered a stellar group of supporting artists such as Lou Reed and Dr John to flesh out the album, turning her hand to songs from across a wide range of genres and styles. Produced again by Hal Willner and recorded in the New Orleans French Quarter, the album makes use of New Orleans musicians in the band.

After a few years together, a change of line up, an east coast tour and multiple trips to the studio, The Chutes are ready to launch a new sound. On July 8 at The Zoo, the band will release their second self-produced E.P, A Word to the Wolves.
After releasing their first E.P in mid-2009, The Chutes quickly established themselves as a powerful, rock-driven group whose repertoire not only conveyed a true confidence in music ability, but also ‘put bums on seats’. In the year following, The Chutes sold out their two headlining shows at Brisbane’s premier live venue, The Zoo. Their new release, recorded only 4 weeks after a change of drummer, diverges from the rock and blues flavour of their |
first E.P. While still holding onto some of the same sounds, The Chutes‘ new E.P draws on elements from progressive, experimental, and electronic genres.

What started out as a jam in a pool side cabana, turned into months of sleeping on floors in LA and has now resulted in Australian band Stone Parade’s second full length album ‘Stratosphere’. Their latest offering was mixed by renowned US world class producer Mark Needham, who’s past works include The Killers and My Chemical Romance. Needham was high in his praise of the band “Stone Parade is one of the most talented bands we have worked with |
this year. All of us here are BIG fans of these guys.”
