Miami Horror “The Summersun” Tour – June/July 2011 – Tour News & Tickets

  In the midst of a highly successful world tour, MIAMI HORROR have announced their last Australian shows for 2011. Come August, the indie-electronic adventurers will re-locate to L.A for a busy Northern hemisphere summer spent performing and writing new material.

The June/July Summersun Tour will end a snowballing run of dates across the globe. Including standout showcase performances at South By South West in Austin, Texas, where they played to crowds who jammed themselves into clubs and venues so tight that fire marshals had to eject some punters due to overcrowding.

The crazed tour has seen MIAMI HORROR gather in-store airplay at H&M throughout Europe, a #1 airplay song in

Denmark, radio and music TV play in Switzerland, sell-out shows in L.A and Mexico and dates from Vegas to Rio.

Album Review | Heroes For Hire – ‘Take One For The Team’

Review: Sibel Kutlucan
Take One For The Team, the second full-length album from Sydney pop punk act Heroes For Hire definitely has a strong pop punk sound that plants them on the same page of any well known Fueled by Ramen band.

When I first heard the intro of track 1, “No Milk Will Ever Be Our Milk”, I was flooded with memories of being 14 and bouncing around to Simple Plan and Fall Out Boy in my bedroom. For those who don’t favour the whiny vocals and energetic drumming and guitar riffs reminiscent of bands like Blink 182 and Sum 41, then this definitely isn’t an album for you.

Steve Kilbey (The Church) & Ricky Maymi (BJM) Announce The Wilderness Years, By David Neil

Steve Kilbey (The Church) & Ricky Maymi (BJM) Announce The Wilderness Years, By David Neil


Who is David Neil? An enigmatic and ephemeral rock star from days past, who somehow slipped through time’s arbitrary clutches; his premature death (or triple death, as the coroners put it) seeing him drizzle down a clotted drain hole into a dank sewer, joining the collective waste and wonder of many a has-been and never-was. Lying there stagnant, his music could only be heard in ghostly whispers by sewer rats and underground junkies alike for decades, until, legend has it, his touring bassist Steve Kilbey (of The Church) dug it up.

The Dandy Warhols @ The Tivoli, Brisbane – 31 May 2011 – Live Review

Review By: Denis Semchenko


[Photo Credit: Stuart Blythe]		   The Dandy Warhols: the post-grunge band who never knew how to take themselves seriously and were ultimately never really taken seriously by the listeners. It was cool to like them. As someone born on the cusp of two different generations (X and Y), I’ve witnessed their heyday first-hand during my late teens and early twenties, while the number of copyists they spawned (the majority of them disappearing almost as soon as they popped up) is quite remarkable. Sure, we’ve all got a soft spot

for simple, catchy ditties like Not If You Were The Last Junkie On Earth and Bohemian Like You – however most of us have since grown up, whereas the band members themselves have merely got older.

Bluesfest 2011 – Day Six, Featuring: Bob Dylan, Gurrumul, Paul Kelly and Buffy Sainte-Marie. – Live Review

  One of the beautiful things about a festival as large and varied as Bluesfest is that the discovery of something new and exciting, at least for the listener, waits around every corner. For this reviewer, Canadian First Nations singer-songwriter Buffy Sainte-Marie was the jewel of this year’s hidden treasures.

Already familiar with her 60s hit Universal Soldier and the rocking Bury My Heart at

Wounded Knee, as well as her Academy Award winning effort Up Where We Belong (who isn’t?), it was a pleasure to become acquainted with the other varied dimensions of her 40 plus year repertoire, and to experience the woman behind the music.

Bluesfest 2011 – Day Five, Featuring: Bob Dylan, Elvis Costello & The Imposters, BB & the Blues Shacks, and the Old Spice Boys. – Live Review

by: Pepa Wolfe
Monday was another delightful mix of new discoveries and big names, with a good dose of puppetry and performance art thrown in.

The day saw the some rocking blues with plenty of keys down at the Crossroads tent as German outfit BB & the Blues Shacks charmed the crowd. Physically dynamic and looking sharp, BB and his boys really ramped up the audience participation. It was an onstage/offstage love-in, complete with dancing girls on stilts.
