BLACK BYRD Recent visitor to the state, Bertie Blackman is gearing up to release her new single ‘Byrds of Prey’, and has just been confirmed to take part in Decembers Falls Festival!

ENTRIES OPEN FOR AMP The Australian Music Prize (The Amp) is back for another year, with $30,000 up for grabs for first prize, as they continue to try and promote excellence in the world of Australian Music.

Considering the turn out at her recent shows in Hobart and Launceston, Bertie has a lot of fans in the state, so the new single, with its atmospheric and textured sound, is sure to go down just as well as the electronic thrills of ‘Heart’ and ‘Thump’, all coming off her Secrets and Lies album.

Supported by PPCA and Channel [V], and now in its fifth year, The Amp has put the call out for all Australian recording artists in any and all musical genres to submit original, album-length works released in 2009.

HOBART FRINGE If you’ve always wanted to get on the fringe, now’s your chance. The Hobart Fringe Festival is now on the lookout for volunteers, and you’ll score a free ticket for your trouble!

FANCY A SNOG? With the Dubstep craze seemingly popping up everywhere lately, there’s probably already a few people out there who are already fans of David Thrussel, aka SNOG. The cinematic electro star has gained himself a sizable cult following internationally, and his releases have invaded electronic and alternative charts in Germany, France and the USA. He’s also fit these countries into his touring schedule, with recent headline dates in New York, and a three-day electronic music festival in France.

The stage spectacular managed to recreate the fantastical world created by the band in their music, styling and film clips, despite missing one half of the due Nick Littlemore, who was busy overseas recording the new Pnau album.

After selling over 100,000 copies of Walking on a Dream in Australia, and global sales approaching half a million, there’s sure to be a few fans looking forward to what the Empire are going to put together for Soundscape!

0 9 January @ The Domain Regatta Grounds, Hobart

Hobart rockers The highLows (featuring former Sir Veto members), have just released a rather shmick looking video for their new song ‘Under The Waves’.

Taken from their album No Space, No Time, released last year, this will be the first single off the album.

The clip was filmed in Adelaide over two days, by filmmaker and ex-pat Tasmanian Robert Davies of Indie House Productions. Locations in Port Adelaide were chosed for their industralised urban feel.

NEW SOUNDSCAPE ACTS If you though that the line-up for Soundscape, which includes hot-as-can-be headliners Empire of the Sun, quirky pop-rockers The Grates, US hip-hop trio Ugly Duckling, Ash Grunwald, Grafton Primary and Children Collide – then you were wrong. The second line-up announcement is here, and what a big one!

Bursting on to the scene, British rap-prodigy Roots Manuva is joining the Tassie festival, ready to perform hits such as ‘Witness the Fitness’. 28 Days have been ripped out of retirement and are ready to ‘Rip it Up’ on stage with Perth band The Panics, and roots-infused artist Bonjah.

Rarely making his way back to his home Australia for performances, you can catch him when he comes to Hobart this October.

The band have been steadily growing a reputation for their live act, and are hoping that you’ll hear a lot more of them in the future! Their next show is slated for Wednesda October 21 with band Ejecter. So, check out their MySpace at myspace.com/thehighlowsband, or watch the video linked below.

Early bird tickets for the festival have sold out, but general admission is still available. But with this new line-up announced, you’ll have to get in quick if you want to be at the Hobart Regatta Grounds come January 9th! To pick up your tickets, or to find out more info about the now jam packed Soundscape Festival, simply head to the website.

DANCE - SYDNEY // MDX

The Dynamic Dynamix

Mark Dynamix has been creating dynamic mixes at the head of the Australian dance scene for over fifteen years. Known as one of the country’s hardest working DJs, MDX (as he is also known) as released a significant number of compilations and mixes, many with Ministry of Sound, and is now working on his own label, Long Distance Recordings.

After so long in the business, how do you keep things fresh, for fans and for yourself?

You know, I don’t think about that too much. I listen to different kinds of music all the time and try to incorporate as much new music into my set as I can without alienating people. I tend to move pretty quickly when I get bored of a certain sound so you probably wouldn’t ever hear the same two sets from me.

What do you think it is about your music that’s kept you so close to the top?

Ditto the above. People get sick of hearing the same top 40 blasted over and over again at them with no variation. I like to think that I come to the table with a sound that is unique and isn’t saturated in Australia like the way electro house has become for instance.

People do want to hear alternative sounds, and I think people appreciate something different.

How does your approach vary when you go from a live set to the studio?

With a DJ set, I tend to know what kind of style I’m going to play before I start. Whether it’s a tech house night or a full-on techno set. When producing, I find it impossible to write anything with the intention of it fitting neatly into a genre. I can start off a track with techno percussion and it invariably ends up as a progressive track or something completely different.

That’s the interesting part about producing; you never know what the end result is going to be, even when you have a clear idea about what you want from the start. What you want and what you get are usually two different things! But not that’s a bad thing – you can be pleasantly surprised by what you have subconsciously created!

Do you have a reliable track up your sleeve that’s guaranteed to get a crowd going?

Lately I’ve been playing a lot of Umek, Ellen Allien and Deepgroove tracks, but D-Nox & Beckers ‘Cala a Boca’ has been doing the business for me over the last couple of weekends.

What’s the best time you’ve had wearing headphones throughout your long career?

If my memory still worked I’d be able to answer that question!

What’s the strangest thing that’s happened or that someone’s asked during a set?

Three girls started stripping behind me in the DJ booth at a club on the Gold Coast once, and then proceeded to hoe into each other. Made it really difficult to concentrate on the task at hand. Gotta love the Gold Coast. What dreams are made of…

What’s one piece of advice you’d give all the budding DJs out there?

Get a real job.

Where would you like to see the Aussie dance scene headed over the summer?

I’d like to see more gigs like “I Love Techno” happen around the country. There’s not enough proper techno around Australia these days, and it’s a shame because overseas they’re enjoying resurgence in the sound.

What’s the most exciting thing for MDX at the moment?

My label has really taken off, www. longdistancerecordings.com. Check out the player on the website to hear all of the releases so far. I’ve got two new singles about to drop, plus a remix for Melbourne’s The Sargents.

You’re down here to play on Syrup’s I Love Techno Night. What’s there to love about Techno?

Playing techno gives you the freedom to chop and change tracks quickly and to really get into using the FX to create something original. Other styles of music tend to be more structured in arrangement so you don’t have the space to change large parts of the song, like you can with techno. But there’s more to it than that. It’s the intensity and the originality of the sound that keeps it sounding fresh. I Look forward to giving it some at Syrup very soon! sMEEGAN MAY Show your Techno love: 0 9 October @ Syrup, Hobart

HIP-HOP - SYDNEY // URTHBOY

Urthboy’s Time to Shine

“…You can’t be that arrogant that you think every time you pick up a pen you’re dropping some Picasso sh*t. So I generally just write and write, and certain songs will reveal themselves as worthy of pursuing....”

We speak to Tim Levinson, aka Urthboy, when he’s just about to begin his twenty-three date solo tour. He also happens to have an ankle the size of a basketball, after injuring it playing sport. But luckily Tim and his team have been rehearsing and preparing enough that he won’t miss a show. “I think that the best way the situation can be described is – giving yourself enough time to change a tire if you need to get somewhere. That’s the way I always look at preparing for a tour.”

Over the past few months Tim, also of hip-hop group The Herd, has been rehearsing with collaborators (and producers of the new album Spitshine) Janey and Elgusto. They’ve had to battle Swine Flu, scheduling, and now injuries, but they’ve managed to prepare something worthy of the fans’ attention. “It’s fine to sit down and rehearse all your lyrics and get your lyrics remembered, but…that’s just being able to deliver your music to someone, and that’s unfortunately what a lot of artists settle for. So we have many more things that we try and get happening in our live show, which means it requires a lot more time then just a few rehearsal sessions.”

Tim admits that the true Urthboy experience won’t be as spectacular in a smaller venue like the Republic Bar, but it’s not going to stop him bringing down the visuals and other elements to enhance each song, elements which they’ve spent so long perfecting. “The main goal is for it to be really engaging, and for it to be a show. And shows don’t have to be a constant jumping up and down thing. That’s what we’re trying to do. But who knows, we might not pull it off with all the things we’re trying to achieve, but we’ve spent a lot of time

trying anyhow.” With that kind of dedication, we’re sure concertgoers won’t be disappointed.

The tour itself is in promotion of Urthboy’s new album Spitshine. His third solo album, Spitshine is the follow up to 2007’s The Signal, which was nominated for the Australian Music Prize, two AIR Awards and a J Award. An impressive act to follow, Tim has been overwhelmed with reception of the album, many identifying it a progression from his previous work.

With the same perfectionist attitude taken to the album as it has been to the tour, it’s no wonder why.

“I felt on one hand we tried to take the best parts on how we worked on The Signal, and that included working with Count Bounce and Elgusto, and then on the other hand – to push the production in a new direction, and try to step up the vocal element as well.

So we had a record that sounded very different, but we were potentially using the same set of tools that we used with The Signal…It can be a difficult process finding out how to progress, and doing it in a cool way.”

The album, released on Tim’s own label Elefant Traks, is a break from the usual “committee process” he experiences when working with The Herd. “The Herd is very much based on compromise and a group dynamic of a constant stream of ideas. So you’re getting ideas left, right, and centre, but sometimes too many ideas just makes things cluttered,” says Tim, but with Urthboy “it’s all about purely following the idea, and there’s almost no compromise.”

But almost as soon as he’s made that last comment, Tim realises that it’s not entirely true. Since he works so closely with his producers and other collaborators, there is still that group element and compromise, such as when he was working with Elgusto. He also was in a similar situation when Hermitude came in to work on a track. “I wrote a whole song to one of their beats, and we didn’t end up using it because they weren’t totally feeling what I had done vocally, and I wasn’t 100% sure how to come at it from a different angle. So I ended up writing for this particular beat, three whole songs. And none of them hit the mark. That meant that the song was never used.”

What may seem like a waste is simply another indication of Urthboy’s attitude towards getting his creative pursuits just right. He tends to “play the percentages” and is happy to write and create a huge number of tracks, only to throw them away, in order to find the special ones. “You can’t be that arrogant that you think every time you pick up a pen you’re dropping some Picasso sh*t. So I generally just write and write, and certain songs will reveal themselves as worthy of pursuing. And I’m quite happy to let go of the others.”

What’s left is the album Spitshine, a carefully planned and rehearsed tour, and an ankle the size of a basketball. Because try as he might, not even Urthboy can get everything right. sDAVID WILLIAMS & MEEGAN MAY

HIP-HOP - USA // UGLY DUCKLING

Ugly Duckling

The Appleton Estate is going Tiki loco! On behalf of their Jamaica Rum, the Appleton Estate is holding a cocktail competition open to Tasmanian bartenders and bars! The idea is to make a drink consisting of the Appleton Estate Jamaica Rums, that is also ‘tiki inspired’. Contestants have been lining up to show off their mixing skills, and now it’s your chance to test the concoctions! We spoke to a few of the entrants to get a sneak preview of the finale.

Name: Ben Thain

Name: David Hernyk

Age: Old enough to know better –cheers mum!!

Age: 23

Venue: My home is Round Midnight @ Syrup NIightclub, Hobart

Venue: Prickly Cactus Position: Bar Supervisor

Position: Bar Supervisor Who has had the biggest influence on you, as a barperson?

Would be a tied contest between fluffy-nut Trev G for his guidance through my puberty bar years and the fossil Adam Turner. Both these dudes are walking encyclopedias and friendly approachable guys.

If American hip-hop is about money, fame and scoring hoes – then nobody told Ugly Duckling. The only time you’ll hear themes like this in their music, is when they’re making fun of people who take it seriously.

Instead you get an old-school alternative hip-hop group from Long Beach, California, who would rather have fun, take the piss, or incorporate themes like love, forgiveness and rejection of worldly values.

Ugly Duckling formed in 1993, and has kept the older style of turntabling and MCing, with the group’s DJ Young Einstein (Rodney Pleasant Jr) known for his complex scratching both live and on the band’s six albums and two EPs, which is a different focus than a lot of other hip-hop bands, which tend to put the spotlight on the MCs. The MCs in question make up the rest of the band – Dizzy Dustin (Dustin McFarland) and Andy Cooper.

Renowned for their live-show antics, and ability to get a party started, Ugly Duckling have produced another good time-inducing album, with their latest offering, Audacity. Totally independent, Ugly Duckling have attempted to bring us something musically different that manages to push the boundaries, and they believe they’ve pulled it off with Audacity.

With more complex arrangements and melody added

1 4 3

to the vocals, there is more musicality to the new record, though without losing their footing in their old-school hip-hop foundation. The songs are also more personal than ever before, including tracks like ‘I Want to Believe’ about faith and ‘Right Now’ touching on the topic of indecision. But don’t worry, there’s still plenty of the fun and games that Ugly Duckling Fans are used to.

Created over a year, Audacity has been born from a time-consuming creative process, but one the band believes was worthwhile. And although they’re not a hugely famous band, plenty of fans will still enjoy this new CD. Because, as Andy puts it, “In the end, good music will find a place. We may never have a huge video budget or a massive marketing campaign but as long as we deliver the songs, we’ll stick around” The band will be sticking around long enough to play at Soundscape, so get a hold of your tickets before they sell out!

Why work behind the bar, instead of another job?

It started as a way 2 get out of the scene yet still be in it, doing so led me away from the normal tastes u get from raiding dads hidden liquor stash and into more elaborate and exquisite tastes, recipes and products.

Now I want to share, learn, laugh and appreciate with others.

Where would you like to take your career?

There’s a whole world out there full of exciting new tastes and places 2 b part of…

Favourite cocktail to make: To make would be Round Midnights Blueberry Mojito, its bold in taste and the presentation is eye candy OR a Plymouth based White Lady Sour, because it’s strong with just the right bitterness to keep the peeps on there toes and is not your usual overpriced lolly water.

Don’t be fooled, the Lady packs a killer left hook!

Who has had the biggest influence on you, as a barperson?

I can’t put it down to one, but I have done 4 or 5 trainings with Mick Formosa, and that taught me heaps.

Why work behind the bar, instead of another job?

I do both, but that’s only because I can’t give tending bar up! It’s fun, social and you get to see people enjoy themselves and their drinks.

Where would you like to take your career?

I’m happy doing what I do, but perhaps one day I’ll be a brand ambassador for some crazy liqueur or spirit.

Favorite cocktail to make: Mojito pressing limes, free-pouring loads of rum, stirring mint, Nice!

Favorite cocktail to drink: Vodka Martini, or Caprioska Why you entered the competition: For fun, to smash out a winner!

Strategy to win: Research, knowledge and pure skill of course!

Favourite cocktail to drink: Would have to be my Hot Rum and Lime Toddy to keep the winter blues away. I know it’s arguable but defiantly a man-tail for me.

Why you entered the competition: To spread the love, man!

Strategy to win: Giving out some free hugs.

The state final will see the best of the the best mixing it up, with samples available to attendees!

Irish Murphy’s 211 Brisbane Street, Launceston

Although he hails from South Australia, one might be forgiven for thinking Vorn Doolette comes all the way from the 1940s.

With his signature vintage style (showcased superbly at his album launch, where you weren’t allowed in unless your outfit predated 1950), and old-fashioned use of expressive instruments and rich vocals, Vorn stands apart from most other Australian folk musicians.

A feature artist on triple j’s Unearthed website, where he was one of the winners of their Top Song Competition (for his broken hearted ‘9 Songs a Problem’), Vorn’s rich simplicity has been impressing people both on the web and off.

His debut album, self-titled, is full of the folky oldfashioned vignettes, with a sound a little reminiscent of Lior and the vocal lyricism of Rufus Wainwright.

The intricate acoustic guitar is prevalent in most songs, with careful, timeless strings and piano weaved throughout.

· Live music 7 days a week· · Great meals in our family restaurant· · Shamrocks restaurant open 7 nights a week· · Wood fired pizza oven· · 3 bars including roof beer garden· · Outdoors in summer & cosy fires in winter· · Accommodation for genuine backpackers·

Two years in the making, the album in independently produced, and was partially recorded in Nicky Bomba’s studio ‘Noah’s Ark’ and partially in Vorn’s home studio. Two days of post-production and mixing turned into two weeks, as Mix Master Mick Wordley worked hard to match Vorn’s musical skills.

The Adelaide launch saw the majestic 1940s style Burnside Ballroom as the venue, and a theme of classic 40s Hollywood glamour to match, Vorn has been touring up a storm since then, and soon he’ll be in Tasmania for four big shows – where vintage fashion is optional!

To do the time warp again, and see one of Australia’s bright new talents, check out one of Vorn’s shows: 0 7 October @ The Republic Bar, Hobart 0 8 October @ Stage Door The Café, Burnie 0 9 October @ The Alley Cat, Hobart 0 10 October @ Brookfield Vineyard, Hobart 10

ARTS - CLARENCE // ST.ART

Get St.Arted!

“…I think [street art] makes art so accessible to people and the way it challenges and broadens what people see as ‘legitimate art’...”

Spring is here, and the smell of aerosol paint cans is in the air…Well, that’s probably more due to the fact that the Clarence City Council’s St.Art festival is on its way – featuring street art competitions, great music from acts like Astronomy Class and The Tongue, free workshops, food and fun!

We got the word on the street from newly Tasmanian artist Aedan Howlett.

How did things change, art wise, coming from Perth to Tasmania?

Moving from Perth was a big upheaval in general. Art wise it meant putting everything on hold for a bit while I got settled in Hobart. Since then it’s been pretty much starting from scratch getting work out in a new place and getting to know heaps of new people and the town its self.

Having a bit of a break and then having to work at rebuilding with a fresh start has been really great. It’s got the juices flowing afresh and made me want to do more and more.

What medium are you working with on the day?

Do you have any ideas for your work yet?

I’ll probably combine a few mediums. Freehand aerosols, stencils and some brushwork.

I’ve got a few ideas but I think I’ll keep them under my hat for now.

What’s your advice for younger artists who might want to move from the street to the canvas?

Do it. I don’t think the two should be at all mutually exclusive. The more varied kinds of work you do the better. It keeps things more interesting that way, and

diversifies your work. I work on canvasses and boards a lot. It gives you a different kind of freedom in what you can do and often means you can have more time.

Anything that helps get your work out to more people has got to be a good thing. There’s nothing to stop you.

What do you think is important about street art?

I think that it makes art so accessible to people and the way it challenges and broadens what people see as “legitimate art.”

What are you most excited about seeing or doing when the festival finally arrives?

Meeting more artists and seeing their work. I’ve still really only scratched the surface here in Tasmania. sMEEGAN MAY

The festival, and competitions, are open to all ages. It’s also free if you arrive before 4pm! So grab your cans, stencils, or just your dancing shoes, and head to the website for more details, and to download an entry form: www.ccc.tas.gov.au.

PUNK - VIC // 28 DAYS

28 Days Later

Having been around since 1997, it’s been a long 28 Days for these Aussie punk-rockers. Even retirement hasn’t stopped them!

Although the band announced their end in 2007, after ten years of ripping it up across the country and the globe, 2009 has seen new demo tracks, a tour with Body Jar set for November – and now a slot in the highly anticipated summer festival, Soundscape.

Their debut album release came in 1998, with a selftitled record to be followed up by the Kid Indestructible EP, which helped get them on the Triple J airwaves and score them a pretty hefty following.

From there the original band members, Jay Dunne (on vocals), Simon ‘Hep’ Hepburn (on guitar), Damien Gardiner (bass) and drummer Scott Murray, added a different element to their sound – DJ Jedi Master Jay, otherwise known as Jay Howard, on samples and turntables. With this shift in their sound, featuring a harder edge and more rap influence, came the single ‘Rip It Up’ – a song which would peak at #12 on the ARIA charts, their highest charting single to date.

The song managed to feature on the soundtrack to Mission: Impossible II and helped catapult their second record, Upstyledown, to a number one debut on the ARIA album charts, and eventually elevate it to gold status. But the professional success was marred with personal tragedy when the band lost drummer Scott Murray to a car accident in 2001. He was later replaced

by Adrian Griffin, the now current drummer.

Although unable to match the success of ‘Rip It Up’ and Upstyledown, over the next five years the band produced two albums, Stealing Chars and Extremist Makeover. The outspoken band eventually left their label after Extremist Makeover, with some speculation that they were dropped, but the band maintain it was their decision to become independent.

With the 2006 EP Bring ‘Em Back coming out on their own label, the band soon announced their 10 Years of Cheap Fame tour, and promised it would be their last.

Cut to March 2009, when a brand new demo made it’s way onto the 28 Days MySpace. It seems they just couldn’t quit for good, and the band have recently announced their spot on the farewell tour of their good friends Bodyjar. So as Bodyjar say goodbye, we say welcome back to 28 Days!

INDIE - MELBOURNE // MICHAEL BEACH

Staying on Course Born in California, Melbourne based singer-songwriter Michael Beach is also known to us as one part of indie band Electric Jellyfish. After losing one of their band members to a horrific car accident, the band took a break, which led Michael to a period of increased self-reflection and solo songwriting. Now he’s here with his thoughtful solo record, Blood Courses, a tribute to the friends he lost.

Born in the US, and having spent a lot of time touring there, what’s different about the music scene compared to Australia?

In my experience, there has been little perceivable difference. In both countries I have found bands and venues to be very supportive towards independent musicians. For the Hobart show, I had contacted Sam J Nicholson and the Brisbane Hotel randomly through the internet, and they were immediately helpful. For the most part, I’ve had the same experience all over Australia and the US. If there is any difference, I get the sense that there is a closer musical community in Australia, but that’s not to say that it doesn’t exist overseas.

How does the solo process differ from working with the band?

I guess it’s an obvious answer, but the solo process is a reflection of exactly what I want it to be at the time.

Though that will constantly change, it is always a very singular vision. My work in Electric Jellyfish is very collaborative, so the music tends to be very different.

I really enjoy both solo work and collaboration, and feel like they are both necessary means of expression.

How does the music differ?

Though both tend to be intense, my solo work is much more sparse. I tend to use dynamics and space much more than Electric Jellyfish. Not to mention that it’s just me and a guitar, rather than a full band.

Do you find it difficult being so open and personal with your songwriting, or do you find it helpful?

The only difficulty in being open and personal in songwriting for me is to make sure that the material is understandable. My hope is that anything I write, no matter how personal, will have something that anyone can relate to. I have no interest in being self-indulgent, but I do think that everyone experiences very similar things in life.

Since live music is so important to you, how did you go about capturing that atmosphere on the record?

My favorite aspect of playing this material live is feeling the tension of dynamics in the music, and seeing that in an audience. The way that we translated that to the album was by recording to an 8-track tape machine, and leaving the loud tape hiss. As a listener, you forget that its there until the music gets quiet, and then you get an eerie feeling of silence or vulnerability.

Why the title Blood Courses?

Hmm...I don’t normally go into it, as it’s not something I brood on or look for sympathy with, but I guess it’s necessary to answer this question. During the first Electric Jellyfish US tour, we were involved in a fatal car accident, where I lost two very close friends. This album was written in the immediate aftermath, and the title was meant to represent the brutality of what had happened, as well questioning the unexpected course of one’s life.

Tell me about the album art, featuring a man with no head or hands, on a dock, with a stormy sea behind him. There’s something hauntingly beautiful about it.

It was painted by my friend Bridget O’Brien. She was traveling with the band as a photographer when she was killed in the accident. We were all roommates and used to paint together for fun, and that was an unfinished painting of me. Looking at it, you would never know it was unfinished, as it seems very natural without a head or hands. It’s very suiting to the album, and a perfect tribute to her many talents.

What kind of performance experience can Tasmanian fans look forward to at a Michael Beach performance?

To me it always seems very intense, moving, pretty, harsh, warm, etc, but I guess everyone hears things differently. sMEEGAN MAY

DANCE - AUS // DJ PERPLEX

A DJ Star Is Born!

“…It’s just like the real thing, but I don’t have to be out to 4am on a Sunday morning to do it!...”

Seeing as he’s been the National DMC champ three years running, and has a heap of mixtapes, releases, and performances up his sleeve – DJ Perplex is definitely one of Australia’s star DJs. Perhaps that’s why he’s also the spokesperson for the new Nintendo DS game – DJ Star!

So, what has Australia’s 3 time National DMC champion been up to lately?

I’ve had a really busy year. Lots of shows and heaps of time in the studio, busy getting my production skills up to scratch. I did a tour of Asia in April/May which was great and I will be heading over there again soon.

I have played pretty much every capital city here in Oz over the last 6 months, which has been rad. Also, Mixtapes, radio, showcasing, giving DJ lessons, you name it.

What kind of music are you playing in your DJ sets at the moment?

I like to keep changing it up, it’s so easy switching up styles when you DJ with a laptop. I’ve been dropping a fair bit of what you would call Bassline music i.e. any dance floor orientated music really with big ass BASS! I’m still really feeling the Baltimore stuff and this UK Funky/Fidget house music too. I just like to get the dance floor pumping and keep it that way till I play my last record.

You’re a DJ star in the real world, so what are you like at DJ Star the game?

I’m probably better at DJing in the real world, but it’s a cool game and I am hooked. The aim of the game is to get people on the dance floor, going off, so there is definitely a parallel to what I’m do in the clubs!

What’s your favourite part of the game?

Probably using the DS’s in built microphone to hype up the crowd! That’s a really cool feature, making it even more interactive. Besides that it’s fun to try to scratch with that DS pencil.

Have you been able to get to the top in career mode & how does it compare to your rise to the top?

Ha ha, its funny I haven’t been able to clock the game yet. It’s hard. It took me five years to get to the top of the DJ world, maybe I need a bit more time before I master the game too! It’s not quite as hard as getting to the top in the real world though.

Anything weird ever happen to you at a gig, that makes for a great story?

Oh for sure, plenty of weird things have happened at gigs. The most recent would have to be two giant bananas dancing with me on stage at a show in Perth!

It was close to the end of my set and I was really tired.

I was in the zone and had my head down for a while concentrating on the mix. I couldn’t work out why the needle was skipping so much but when I looked up two giant fluorescent bananas are jumping around on the DJ console! Hmmm. It was pretty funny though…

What’s next for DJ Perplex?

I’ve kind of been taking it easy this year on the DJ battlefront, seeing there was no DMC battle here in Oz this year and all. It’s been good actually because

the last 3 years have been super stressful around this time. I’m planning an EP release of all original tracks for October/November. But before that happens I have to finish Volume 2 of my ‘Digital Killed The Vinyl Star’ mixtape series. The first mix is up online for download, head to www.myspace.com/deejayperplex to cop that.

When can we next expect you down in Tassie?

Hopefully soon, it’s been too long. I’ll probably be down in Hobart rockin’ out some time over the summer. Peace! sMEEGAN MAY All you budding DJs out there are in luck, we’ve got 3 copies of DJ Star to give away!

Signed by the man himself, DJ Perplex, all you need to do is be one of the first to send your details under the heading of DJ Star to the e-mail address below. Good luck!

POP - SCOTLAND // JIMMY SOMERVILLE

Summer Lovin’ “…I like to think I’ve done a version of a song that people know, but it’s a different version, from a different perspective...”

“Twenty-five years ago this month, ‘Smalltown Boy’ was released. It’s starting to show in my face.” Although Jimmy Somerville may be a little hard on his appearance, twenty-five years later, people are still talking about his landmark hit.

What was so remarkable about the song, which told the story of a young gay man leaving his ‘hostile’ small town for the more understanding city, is that it was a song with strong gay themes, that managed to cross over into the mainstream and become one of the biggest obviously gay records of its time. “It wasn’t lyrically clever, intellectual or art house. It was very simple. It just crossed over, and I think people latched onto it for their own emotional stories.”

It also managed to be successful despite being obviously gendered, which is something Glaswegian Jimmy sees as almost unique among gay performers.

“Even though there are a lot of men and performers who are gay, none of them seem to grasp the statement of he or him within the love song. The gender specific tone, and you make that obvious.” It’s something that

he’s held on to for his new CD of cover songs, Suddenly Last Summer. “It still seems to be the last hurdle for some people, so for me it’s really special to do that, because I like to think I’ve done a version of a song that people know, but it’s a different version, from a different perspective.”

The album includes Jimmy’s take on hits as varied as Blondie’s ‘Hanging On The Telephone’ to The Doors’ ‘People Are Strange’. It marks Jimmy’s fifth solo album, since ending work with bands Bronski Beat and The Communards in the early 90s. The songs were chosen almost randomly as Jimmy flicked through his iTunes. It was a fairly rushed process, as the album came together very quickly – and unexpectedly.

“I came [to Australia] to do Mardi Gras and the Evolution shows, which were all put together by this fantastic fella…Colin Tate…For some reason Colin has the knack, he’s almost like your favourite magician. He may as well have a top hat, because we went from doing these shows to suddenly him finding out that there was a studio…and then suddenly finding an incredibly cheap rate to have this studio and the technicians for six days, and it was like ‘Oh my God!’ And when he worked out the exchange rate from dollars to pounds, I just thought, ‘This is too good of an opportunity.’”

All brought together within days, Suddenly Last Summer was something that Jimmy can only compare to the excitement he felt when he went to New York to record that first album with Bronski Beat, The Age of Consent, “because all of the elements were just so

Agent Fontaine saying yeah, we’re #1 in the Unearthed Charts

Green Fingers All the freshest produce from The Greenhouse, Irish Murphy’s, Hobart.

Bonjour et Bonsoir everybody, welcome back to the Greenhouse show, four for a dollar, four for a dollar, something for the little lady yeah.

Mang and Mang, have we had some good shows. The Jonno Coleman, Sam Cole and Prairie Nischler epoch was bootylicious, and many hi-jinks were recorded for posterity - including a now infamous shoe throwing incident.

due time, and hopefully one he can bring back here for a night on the mad cans. We will be celebrating with a large scale farewell party in December so keep your nose peeled for that one.

It’s cooming up, it’s cooming up, it’s dare . . .

Also raging back onto the stage and into the #1 position on the Triple J unearthed charts – Agent Fontaine!

We’re very pleased to have them rocking out with us again and wish them the best of luck with their upcoming shows in Saigon.

Also it’s a sad sad sad sad time for one of our regular stalwarts of the off-beat, Dali and the Paper Band.

Monsieur Dali himself is off to chase his lovely lady to Switzerland and we wish him the best of luck with this move. There is no doubt that he’ll have a new band in

Bright Yellow, those beefcake wingnuts from NSW, bring their unique tight-pants rock to Irish Murphy’s for a knees up of the old-fashioned variety, stink fisting the Greenhouse with the likes of La Vista and Andrew Marshall on the 1st of October.

Sunday the 4th of Oct we witness the bizarre and compelling hi-jinks of Oberon Carter and he brings his birthday side-show carnival to the Greenhouse for one night only. Travelling through his years of

songmanship, with the equally fistable Dominic Francis, this show will be fully engorged.

Emily Smart and the Clever Girls, and James Parry’s new band, all on one night and at the same venue!

Woot, double that - woot, woot! For beautifully crafted folk rock stylings and fragile yet adamantine vocal journeys, the 8th of October brings a touch of grace and a slice of the new. Tres excitement.

Also keep your fist up there a little longer (in the air), Show Day Eve is gonna smack one out on October the 21st at the Greeny.

We’re doing a dub and reggae MOSSIVE! Featuring four dub and reggae bands and DJs til very late, this one will get you jumping up in the air and coming

down in slow motion so hold your breath... Full details in your next Sauce!

Just to remind y’all. At Irish Murphy’s The Greenhouse, running Sunday-Thursday, we feature all original and mostly Tasmanian music, it’s always free to get in and check out what’s on offer, so if you’re in Salamanca after 9pm on any weeknight (and Sunday), come and pop your head in to check what’s on offer, we love our music and oh boy do we have some great bands!

Hasta la choy amigos!

Saucy Sparkle A sparkly column for Sauce Magazine where you will read wonderful tales of tease and all things sparkling from Hobart’s own Diamonds of Burlesque!

Being part of “The Diamonds of Burlesque” I though that I had to become all girly girl, flirty and playful.

However, that is not me at all, and I thought that it would be fitting to introduce not only me, Miss Eternal Princess, but a different side of burlesque as well.

I’m sure you have read the typical definitions as to what burlesque is and are now becoming familiar with this glamorous world.

Perhaps we have got you thinking about corsets, sparkles, feathers and lacy lingerie? But let me stop you right there. Allow me to take you to a darker corner where your innocent minds can play for a while - or longer. Welcome to the world of dark cabaret!

Now, sit back and take a sip on your luminescent Absinthe - I assure you that you are not hallucinating - and picture this; a long black sparkling dress, boa, heels, gloves and a cigarette placed between blood red lips. Let me introduce you to a performer who has taken the Big Apple by storm: Nasty Canasta.

With a name like this, Canasta promises to offer you a non-typical burlesque experience. Nasty Canasta has been dubbed “Brooklyn’s greatest Burlesque star” by a Brooklyn newspaper and is Co-producer of Pinchbottom Burlesque, a monthly themed burlesque production in New York. She describes herself as a “schizophrenic performer” and a “tremendous geek” which is not what you would expect of your typical burlesque queen.

Nasty Canasta is sure to shock. She thrives on all that is different and captivates the audience with her weird and twisted dances.

As she herself describes of her dances, “I do a classic ostrich feather fan dance,” Pretty classy and normal for a burlesque dancer you might think but there is a twist - Miss Canasta performs this dance to a loop of car alarms...

Want more? Of course you do.

While I am not even close to filling Nasty Canastas stilettoed heels - I, Miss Eternal Princess Diamond, bring you my interpretation of dark cabaret. My interest in gothic and punk culture brings an alternative beauty to the stage, going beyond the normal pink feathers, sequins and bubbly champagne.

I will now offer you another glass of Absinthe as you follow me to the darker side of burlesque, where you can experience a fantasy world as I keep you updated on chilling tales of seductiveness and weird doings.

With a Halloween show right around the corner this is the perfect opportunity for you to sink your fangs in and get a taste for my Burlesque world. sMISS ETERNAL PRINCESS Photography by Emilija Saleta

CINECISM - COMEDY // FUNNY PEOPLE

One Funny Guy

“…Those movies are also really fun and challenging to work on. But I’m not sure I have many more really awful personal problems to work out after this movie, so we’ll see...”

ONBA OPEN 7 DAYS

MONDAYS / TUESDAYS

Judd Apatow knows what’s funny. After all, he’s been a student of comedy since his childhood, when he’d transcribe the sketches on the legendary US comedy show Saturday Night Live.

In his teens, he’d contact comedians in the hope of interviewing them, most of whom took him up on his offer. And in his twenties, while trying to break into the comedy industry as a stand-up comedian and a joke writer, he shared an apartment with a young up-andcomer named Adam Sandler.

someone recovering from a serious illness and “having a nervous breakdown once they’ve got better”.

“He actually left to do Saturday Night Live, and I tried to get a job there as a writer,” recalled Apatow. “I kept handing in my sketches; I could never get them to read them.”

“I didn’t want to be a director for hire. It really just took me a long time to learn how to direct and to feel up to the job.”

Don’t feel too bad for Apatow, though, because while his former roommate went on to become a superstar, Apatow’s career slowly but steadily gained speed.

His work on TV shows like The Ben Stiller Show, Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared made him a cult hero among comedy insiders.

And when he directed his first movie, The 40-YearOld Virgin, he instantly became something of a brand name, synonymous with comedy that expertly balanced humour and heart.

Apatow’s follow-up, Knocked Up, was equally wellreceived, and now his third film Funny People sees the writer-director branching out into new territory, telling the sometimes sad, sometimes cruel story of a successful comedian who’s made as many wrong decisions as right ones.

And the film sees him reunite with Sandler, who suggested they work together on a project.

So Apatow considered a number of ideas he’d been working on before deciding to combine a story about the lives of aspiring comedians and another about WWW.SAUCE.NET.AU

“I always wanted to do a movie like this, which was a personal movie that I could direct and that I had written,” he said.

Funny People, which revolves around comedians enjoying varying levels of professional and perosnal success, is “more truthful to my psyche than it is to actual events”, admitted Apatow.

“It’s all made-up and it’s all true. The truthful aspect of it was how much I loved comedy and I couldn’t believe the comedians I worshipped would let me hang out with them, let me write for them.

“Most of those people were incredibly kind to me, so it took me a little time to fabricate a character that would be complicated enough for a movie because I had a really good experience with comedians who mentored me.”

In addition to Sandler, Funny People also features a number of Apatow’s unofficial repertory company of actors, including Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill and Apatow’s wife Leslie Mann. (The couple’s two daughters, Iris and Maude, also appear in the film.)

And in a role that makes great use of his comic skills, Australian actor Eric Bana also appears. According to Apatow, Bana was the one actor he didn’t know he was going to cast.

“Our producer Barry Mendel also produced Munich, and one day we were talking about it and he said maybe Eric Bana would do this role [in Funny People],” said Apatow.

“He’s a really hilarious guy. He hasn’t done comedy in a long time. He’s actually as funny as anybody around, but for whatever reason he’s just done more serious work.”

Anyone who sees Funny People could say the same about Apatow himself. After all, it’s not quite the full-on comedy audiences have maybe come to expect from him.

“I’ll go back and forth between sillier movies and movies like this,” he said.

“This was just the tone the story demanded; each time out it will be different. I really think more about being honest and truthful about feelings and how people behave for the movies that I direct, but I also love movies like Anchorman, where it’s about how much you can make people laugh in one 90-minute period.

“Those movies are also really fun and challenging to work on. But I’m not sure I have many more really awful personal problems to work out after this movie, so we’ll see.” sROBERT ROSSER

SOUNDCHECK - out and about in the hottest venues LISA MITCHELL

September @ Syrup

@ Republic Bar, 18 September

Of all the adjectives that might describe Lisa Mitchell’s admirable mix of blatant youth and insightful maturity, none convey her presence, music and spirit like adorable. From the moment she hit the stage, joined by grinning band members and an array of exciting handheld instruments, the eyes of girls and boys alike glossed over and sparkled. As one, we bathed in the realisation that the emotions her new album, Wonder, elicit are but a whisper of what she is capable of on stage. It was all I could muster to resist the sickly sweetness of induced adoration!

And what’s not to adore? Showing off her own impossibly cute style of dance and donning a golden dress complete with a red dragon bib, Lisa glows in her own little world, and the crowd happily succumb.

The clever little band of friends preserve the link to the intended album sounds, while giving freedom to the live performance, and as a result - Lisa’s effortless,

gorgeous tones shine through the unique set.

Of worthy note are ‘Oh! Hark!’ – a wonderfully contradictory tune of death and drear, wrapped in a bouncy melody. Her emotive rendition of Dire Straits’ track ‘Romeo and Juliet’ had the audience quietly and politely miming the words until a raving applause ensued.

It’s hard to pinpoint just what compels one to adore, but the intrinsic readiness of a young girl trying to be nothing more than herself is a winner. It’s exciting to think that her natural and effortless approach to simple, beautiful music is so easy to achieve.

Lisa returns to perform at the Falls Festival over New Years Eve. sNICK BALCOMBE

OFF THE SHELF Hey all and welcome to Off The Shelf, our fortnightly rant on what’s happening at Irish Murphy’s, Launceston, every Wednesday night where Top Shelf brings you the best acts from the north of the state. So here’s a run down of what’s been and what is to be.

It has been just under a year since Shoe brought their energetic Devonport pop to the Irish stage and last Wednesday September 23 was another step up for the trio. I say another step up, not to be condescending, but to show that they have improved their live show to match the sound of their amazing debut EP recorded

by Greg Stace. With so many guitar over dubs etc. on the record (which I must say are awesome!), and additional vocals, it’s hard to know that the three guys on stage are the same band! Yet the quality of their hooks and energy of their live show always prevails and prove time and again why this band has so much potential.

If you didn’t get a chance to catch Shoe then this week, Wednesday September 30, sees them return to the stage as Top Shelf at Irish hosts the annual Falls Festival Playoff. Joining Shoe for the northern playoff are The Dirty Love, Breakfast Balcony, Sheyena and Charles Du Caine. Each act will perform a 30 minute slot then at the end of the night two winners will be added to the Marion’s Bay Falls Festival line-up. A great chance to catch up on the northwest scene.

The brothers Lizotte, otherwise known as Halfway To Forth, returned to the Top Shelf stage on Wednesday September 16 bringing their melodic, chilled out blues sound with them. The country twang of the north west is prevalent in their music but they manage to avoid the cheesy side, rather offering up a “late night by the camp fire” mood that leans closer to the roots scene. The brothers harmonies are a highlight, as is their ability to draw in peoples attention. Speaking of capturing people’s attention, Frankie Andrews opened the night and while it wasn’t the best show I’ve seen of hers (she has set the bar pretty F**king high!), Frankie still managed to deliver such brutally honest songs such as ‘Like Wolves’.

Wednesday October 7, Top Shelf is hosting an energetic night of entertainment featuring sevenpiece funk/soul outfit Mayfield with very special guest, all the way from the home of risqué performance, Emma Dilemma. Emma has recently returned from a season in Berlin where she performed her one-woman burlesque show to packed houses and it is a real treat to have her grace the Top Shelf stage. Mayfield will deliver their unmistakable booty shaking sound having not played a lot over winter are keen to sweat it out for an hour or so. Come down for a night you’ll never forget!

Friday 2nd October Mick Attard Saturday 3rd October The Titz Wednesday 7th October Andy Collins For those of you who are regular readers of STM, you’ll remember that my last post (insert appropriate bugle music here) was from a little town in country Victoria, as I was driving back to Tassie from Adelaide with my mum. Even if you haven’t read the previous installment, you’re probably shaking your head already.

We start on the road early in what has become less of a road trip for me and more of a tour of the ladies toilets of South Eastern Australia. I think we stopped at all of them. We take a detour off the highway to visit Ballarat. It’s cold, dirty and full of roadworks. No snow domes there either. We don’t stick around too long and drive into Melbourne. Mum insists on giving me directions over the Westgate Bridge. It’s like having a GPS that only gives information about interesting trees, where a child might be hiding and the location of the nearest ladies loo. All of which is fascinating.

We drive to the pier in Port Melbourne, Mum goes to the loo, and then we get a tram into the city. Mum says great things on the tram like “That’s a big building, isn’t it?” She’s pointing at the Rialto building. I get to say interesting things in response, like; “Yes.” And so it goes. We have a bit of a wander around the various ladies toilets in Melbourne CBD and then she decides she needs new pyjamas. Right. Into Myer we go. We eventually find the relevant department and while Mum looks for what she wants, which now includes a giant pair of Nanna undies, I get to stand around holding her handbag and her walking stick. I’m wearing some pretty punk looking stuff and get a lot of raised eyebrows from the other Nannas wobbling around in there, but add the handbag and the stick, and quite a few of them made for the escalators as an escape. Mum finally gets what she needs and we tram it back to the boat. We drive from the car park, to the inside of the boat, which takes the same amount of time as driving from Adelaide to the car park we just left.

It’s not until I see the size of the cabin we have, that the true horror of the journey sinks in. I can’t be in the same cabin at the same time as my Mum. She takes up too much space. For a tiny lady, she just gets everywhere. I give up and get in bed, she can’t sleep, I can’t sleep, then I do sleep, but she snores and wakes me up, then I can’t sleep, then I do, then she wakes me up by asking if I’m awake. I lose my temper and rant at her. She goes very quiet. I feel bad. I wonder to myself if they still bury people at sea. Eventually we get off the boat and do the drive back to Hobart, she then says, “Do you mind if we stop at the library? I need to pick up a book.” I feel like we’ve just driven a thousand K’s just to get her a library book. I’m tired, so the wittiest thing I can think of to say is “Ok.” True Story. sMICK LOWENSTEIN

BY REBECCA TAYLOR Model: Emily Cappelletti

Spring has sprung…and not a moment too soon! It’s not consistently warm enough to pack away the winter woollies, but it’s certainly time to start thinking about it, and definitely time to start bringing out the spring fashions.

Up until this winter, I had thought it a fallacy that grey skies give you the blues.

But then, sandwiched in between a day of rain storms and thunder and one of wind and rain, Mother Nature threw in a sunny 19 degree day, and I became consciously aware of how much my mood elevated. Oh the joy of knowing what the months ahead will bring!

Celebrate the warmer months with vibrant colour and festive designs. Turquoise and purple will be hot favourites, as will deep oranges and stunning pinks. Invest in some Indian inspired jewellery and lots of gorgeous beads and chains, and definitely keep a few pairs of strappy sandals around.

You can’t go wrong with a pair of silver or gold ones to really add sparkle to an outfit.

Here’s hoping spring is putting a smile on your face too, and remember; dress for fun!
