New The Prodigy video – Omen
“Since the days of Voodoo People, British act The Prodigy have made things clear in their music videos – they love banging sounds over popping visuals. This is definitely the case in new video Omen, and the group’s interpretation of a live video sees heavy use of flash cuts, fisheye lenses, and in the crowd footage.” [ref: The Music Slut]

Big Day Out 2009 Gold Coast Review
Author: Tara Kai Hammond
Whilst 2009’s Big Day Out line up contained more locally-grown artists then big- name-crowd-pulling international acts; other activities and entertainment like the dunking-pool, the movie theatre, and the ‘ carny’ style rides; all helped this years festival to be a big day out of live sun, fun and music for all styles and ages.

Sporting band leader outfits, The Grates to took the stage and were an obvious crowd favourite. Patience has an instant reapport with the massive crowd and has them singing along and on each others shoulders, poppin and bobbin.

Leonard Cohen Australian Tour 2009
“He is our Shelley; he is our Lord Byron!” – Bono
“Leonard Cohen was the first artist I discovered by myself. He is the symbol of my musical independence. The sadness of Cohen was inspiring; it gave me a lot of energy. I always remember all this when someone says that my records are morbid or depressing.” – Nick Cave
