HARRISON INTERVIEW

W

hen I spoke to Harrison Craig, the 18-year-old was in the car, en-route to a shopping centre somewhere outside of Perth. He’s embarking on a multi-state tour of Westfield Shopping Towns - one of his first duties as the newly-crowned winner of hit TV show The Voice. Whilst it might not sound like the most glamorous expedition, but for this newcomer it’s a golden opportunity to come face-toface with his fans.

“It’s really amazing”, says Craig, when quizzed on experience “Just so great to know that so many people enjoy seeing me doing the thing I enjoy doing so much”.

Such humility is typical of the young man that won the hearts of legions of viewers over recent weeks. Mentored by dulcettoned English singer/songwriter Seal, Craig was presented as the classic reality-TV-show underdog. Brought up in a single parent family, he was man of the house from a young age.

He also suffered from that most inconvenient of obstacles for a perfomer – a pronounced speech impediment. Craig found singing provided a welcome escape

through his early teenage years and, better still, he could do it without stuttering.

Growing up on the Peninsula (he now lives in Chelsea), the singer took whatever opportunities he could find to perform for an audience. He joined the Victorian boys choir and took private lessons from well-known vocal coach David Jaanz. As far as musical influence goes, his early discoveries set him in good stead for his appearances on The Voice.

“The first disc I ever bought was a Ricky Martin album,” he recalls.

“I really admire his drive and his passion – the commitment he puts in to his performance – he’s quite inspirational”.

Despite his overtly pop beginnings, Craig’s musical taste soon broadened. “I listen a lot to Buble, Frank Sinatra, Andy Williams, Andrea Boccelli, Johnny Mathis”, he explains, “as well as some Johnny Cash”.

Perhaps it’s the influence of the latter that has sparked Craig’s interest in song writing? “Writing my own pieces is a really important thing for me,” says Craig, adding that he’s hoping to have at least a few of his own compositions on the next album

“I listen a lot to Buble, Frank Sinatra, Andy Williams, Andrea Boccelli, Johnny Mathis, as well as some Johnny Cash” when it comes out. The title track of his debut album, More Than A Dream, is indeed his own original composition.

“The tie that you have to your own song is really direct”, explains Craig, “as long as it’s a good song!”

I ask Craig exactly what constitutes a good song, in his opinion. “For me it needs to give you space to open up into those really rich, creamy tones,” he says. “It has to have a good popness about it too, and the lyrics have to really mean something.

You have to be able to relate to it when you sing it, and so does the audience (when they hear it)”.

So does that mean that, when choosing songs, Craig is more of a lyrics man? “Absolutely” comes the emphatic reply.

More than a Dream, released through Universal Music late last month, features a bunch of cover songs drawn from the popular music canon including Can’t Help Falling in Love, Unchained Melody and You Raise Me Up. Several of the tracks were performed by Craig on The Voice, a fact that ensures fans will get

exactly what they’re hoping for.

For the young singer, the album release provides a launching pad for an intense period of writing and performing.

“After the Westfield tour I’ll be writing with some international songwriters” says Craig, “and then I’ll be heading out on a two or maybe three month tour starting in September. Of course in between all that I’ll be recording a new album”.

The new album he speaks of, if the singer gets his way, will be out around Christmas. “I would definitely like to have something new out again by then – that’s what we’re aiming for” he says, “it feels like it would be the right time”.

One thing’s for certain, the weeks and months between now and then will fly by for Australia’s newest (and possibly youngest) national celebrity.

In the meantime, local Peninsula fans of this home grown success story can look out for More Than A Dream on iTunes or at local record stores, out through Universal.

A word from the editor...

One of the greatest aspects of being involved in PEARL is hearing about all of the awesome stuff happening around town, as well as about some of the great achievements from some of our very own local artists, songwriters, performers and residents.

To be honest, I had absolutely no idea (until about 3 weeks ago) that The Voice 2013 Harrison Craig - was from our neck of the woods, but instantly I’m not surprised.

Alongside Craig is the outstanding Michael Paynter and a number of others.

Dig a little deeper and you’ll discover Jackie Sannia has performed at ‘The Lineup’ showcase at Frankston Arts Centre and there’s quite a few more stories of well recognised artists either coming from or having come through our neck of the woods.

Issue 17 of PEARL highlights

Craig, as well as The Lineup showcase (to move down to Baha in Rye), alongside interviews with local Chris Swayn (from The Warrains), Benny Walker, Josh Pyke, Frankston Theatre Group’s Roy Thompson, the man behind ‘The Drop Shadow Project’ Shane (Chewy) Tags, Wilbur Wilde and more.

We welcome some new foodie friends to town in the form of Trax (in Carrum) and the newly revamped Beach

July 2013 St Garden & Gallery, now called ‘BEACH162’! Washing that all down is Andrew Gow from Morn. Peninsula Brewery with this month’s Beer Talk!

Retro is back, Morn.

Peninsula Youth Services have their own page with HEAPS happening, there’s Dance & Theatre news, and plenty of school holiday activities around the Libraries and Peninsula.

I’ll be playing a little acoustic set at The Derinya Art & Craft Exhibition on Friday July 19.

Drop by, say hi and check out one of the area’s premier art shows, first hand. :-) That’s enough shameless self-promotion... Enjoy PEARL once again, and remember to join the conversation online via Facebook for heaps of giveaways and goss!

MEET BENNY WALKER INTERVIEW Growing up in Echuca, Indigenous artist Benny Walker formed his first band at the age of 12. He’s all grown up now and his blend of acoustic roots music accompanied by his rich, soulful voice is showcased on his second album released earlier this year Saints & Sinners.

PEARL: You spent 9 months travelling around eastern and central Australia which you came home from with a “pocket full of songs.”

What experiences inspired these songs?

WALKER: My now wife and I bought an old yellow campervan, quit our jobs and travelled from place to place. I had my acoustic guitar and all the time in the world to take in all these new places and new people we were meeting.

You get an amazing sense of freedom when you do something like that.

PEARL: Growing up in a musical family with a father & grandfather who were both musicians, what bands or artists did you listen to and which have influenced you the most?

( 4

PEARL MAGAZINE JULY 2013

WALKER: The first album I owned was Nirvana, Unplugged in New York on cassette. From there I bought the Eric Clapton unplugged album. I really loved Clapton’s versatility as far as guitar playing and songwriting. I think he’s had a big influence on me.

PEARL: Congratulations on winning the Victorian Indigenous Performing Arts Award for Best New Talent in 2012. How much influence has your indigenous heritage had on your music?

WALKER: Thanks. I think having an Indigenous heritage gives me a strong connection to the land. That definitely comes through in some of my lyrical content.

PEARL: Your latest album Sinners & Saints was released this year. What inspired the album and tell us about the lead single, Woman?

WALKER: I try to keep myself at the ready to take inspiration whenever or wherever I can. I had a lot of ideas in notebooks, on my phone and in my computer. I then had the opportunity to travel on the Ghan and play in the dining cart for a little bit each night.

During the day I worked on the songs and consequently there are a couple of references to trains in there. As for Woman, it’s basically a song about making love (laughs).

WILBUR WILDE

Many moons ago, I lounged in the Green Room of Channel 9 drinking two bottles of wine over a few hours chatting to Wilbur Wilde and Red Simmons; they’d just finished a Hey Hey its Saturday show. I can tell you it was a very funny afternoon spent with two intelligent musicians with very definite opinions.

When I realised Wilbur and his band, The Trouble Makers were performing at the Mornington Jazz Fest, I had to catch up and find out what he was up to.

Watching Wilde perform is still a treat. His affable nature is synonymous with his music style, relaxed, intimate and easy going, and his repertoire was ripe for the mature wine drinking punters there, singing along to Daddy Cool’s Come Back Again and Dragon’s Still In Love With You and more. Between songs his banter and joke telling was contagious and had punters giggling and clapping.

I chatted to Wilde during his first break; he was suffering with a terrible chest cold and was battling through.

UP CLOSE

I inquired about his sax as it looked familiar. He’d bought it from a mutual friend, musician Joe Camilleri. The 40+ year old sax was made in France in 1971 and it was Wilde’s favourite one, played on Hey Hey many times.

Wilde’s comedic, yet sardonic views on life inspire him to search for truth, beauty and laughs. Being a passionate muso, he loves going out and watching live music. As a professional, he urges people to enjoy live entertainment. It’s what they do, so they want and need people’s support.

Recently he drove up to see friends perform at the Mt. Macedon Music Society, calling it a brilliant and inspiring performance. Wilde’s warm and genuine interest in people endears him to his fans, as he claims everyone has a story behind them - granted some more intriguing than others. Wrapping up the chat, I asked him what advice he has for up and coming musicians. With a glint in his eyes he said, “Be kind to each other!”

Wilde plays jazz at Uptown Jazz Café in Fitzroy and through the Melbourne Jazz Cooperative, also venturing down to Coast in Blairgowrie semi regularly. For more info on the cooperative, visit www.mjc.org.au.

Until next month…

REVIEW

UNPLUGGED FROM A DISTANCE Towards the end of the 2012 Byron Bay’s Bluesfest, I was fortunate to meet, review and befriend Tim Everett (slide guitar, stomp box and foot percussion) and Kiam Adcock (harmonica/vocals) of Mojo Bluesmen. Punters literally went wild during their performance and everyone realised they were witnessing a unique, raw uncensored, generational take on the impromptu/ad-lib dirty blues the guys were performing. It was a once in a lifetime gig that sadly can never be repeated. I’ve kept in touch since and here is their story.

Everett was doing a solo road trip around Oz in 2007 when he came across Adcock busking on his harmonica in Port Macquarie. An instant friendship was born and the two busked their way back to WA, performing their very first gig as the Mojo Bluesmen in Kalgoorlie and going on to travel around and perform across Australia for a long time, living and sleeping in their car. In doing this, many, many people experienced their busking and wanted to hear more and a huge fan base grew, with many fans following Mojo’s journey on their face book page. In fact, due to popular demand, their first album, Whiskey and Women was recorded in Sydney in Feb 2009.

A stint in Byron Bay saw the guys invited to stay and enter the following week’s busking competition, they’d just come second in said comp against Kim Churchill, the winner.

This time they won and received two-days in a studio, which lead to the release of their second album Dirty Love. Following this success, they continued their busking lifestyle

and lived off their CD sales and busking coin, with their dream gig to perform at the Byron Bay Bluesfest becoming a reality in 2011.

Feeling invincible, Mojo Bluesmen actualized another dream; going abroad and busking around the USA for three months. With a crappy boxcar that kept breaking down (which they bought for $700), they learned valuable life experiences and performed for hundreds around the world.

Back in Oz, Everett flew to Cairns to drive their van back home from where they’d left it before flying to the USA, however while driving home, he had a terrible road accident…

One of the best and worst things about the alt-country scene is the plethora of highly underrated artists – any one of which could turn up somewhere in your hometown on any given night and play a great show. It’s great for fans, for we can take ownership of a particular underrated artist and introduce them to all our friends (which is kind of what I do with this column) but, for the artists themselves, the lack of exposure can really testing. As an artist and a fan, I appreciate both sides of the coin – but it makes me particularly appreciative of the great artists that continue to toil under the radar for years, if not decades, all for the sake of the song.

One such artist is Sime Nugent. I’ve known about Sime Nugent for just about as long as I’ve been going to gigs.

For the music-loving residents of Melbourne’s north, Sime is something of an institution – it seems like he’s played a residency at just about all of the good pubs, filling rooms large and small with his subtle song-writing, deft guitar skill and soaring vocal range. For me, Sime epitomises Melbourne folk/country scene – he’s a household name to those in the know but, despite wonderful reviews and even a role in ‘super-group’ The Wilson Pickers, he’s drastically under-exposed on a national level.

One of Sime’s latest projects is Sweet Jean – a collaboration with Alice Keath – and it’s starting to get some of the attention that Sime has deserved for a long time. The duo are launching their dreamy debut album Dear Departure (a disc which has met with praise from the likes of Paul Kelly) at Oakleigh’s Caravan Music Club on Friday, July 12 and I urge you to check them out.

The Caravan Club has another upcoming date that interests me and, even though it’s not until August 2, I recommend punters get in early and buy tickets. The show I’m speaking of is a solo performance from legendary American songwriter Kevin Welch, with one of our own legends Bill Chambers in support. Welch’s songs have been covered by artists such as The Highwaymen and Linda Ronstadt, but it’s when he performs them himself that audiences really get to appreciate his gift. Local audiences should look out for his song Marysville – written for the Victorian town that suffered great losses in the 2009 Black Saturday Bush Fires. In this writer’s opinion, it’s one of the finest Australian songs ever written – despite being penned by an American.

Next month I’ll have some big news about our own local country music festival on the Peninsula, but in the meantime I suggest you warm your hearts through this cold snap by seeking out some great, undiscovered country and roots music.

LOCALS LAUNCH UP TOWN

Sunday July 28 will see The Warrains launch their third album The Art of Listening at Collingwood venue The Bendigo Hotel. With the pub typically hosting punk, rockabilly, metal, rock and grindcore bands within its walls, the sound of The Warrains may seem out of context, yet the Peninsula born band have never been the type to conform to structure.

Lead by vocalist Chris Swayn, whose skills in guitar and singing stem from the 90s grunge rock scene, The Warrains are completed by Sophie Pound’s varied skill set in singing, songwriting, bass, keys and wind, lead guitar Grant MacMillan from The Toothfaeries, and the varied experience around the traps of drummer Brendon White. A diverse background and style between band members has leant to the afro-beat / country / urban-folk sound that distinguishes The Warrains.

Undefined by genre, The Art of Listening, - like the band’s first self-titled release The Warrains and follow-up Come to Life - was collaboratively written and developed by the band members, with the help Swayn’s father/band manager. Dealing with the varied themes of politics, love and loss, and family, the latest album carries the classic Warrains stamp of individuality, uniqueness and charm. While August last year saw The Warrains release a prominently maritime themed EP titled Here to Stay, Swayn says The Art of Listening definitely brings back to the usual eclectic mix, a varied collection of songs connected by their more ‘up’ than ‘down’ sound.

SIME NUGENT Lachlan Bryan is primarily a singer/songwriter, with his debut album Shadow Of The Gun out now through Core/Sony. He also moonlights as a gifted observer and music journalist, writing monthly for PEARL Magazine on all things folk/country/bluegrass. If you’ve got a new release, upcoming show or you’d like to get in touch with Lachlan, drop him a line at countryfolk@pearlmag.com.au LACHLAN BRYAN

Art of Listening saw the band toy with the 1920s theme, borrowing a friend’s car and making a trip to Seawinds to capture a dramatic narrative. The involvement of community evident in these videos, be it through participation or the help of friends, forms a large part of The Warrains’ work, furthering the local charm proffered by the band.

Dealing with the varied themes of politics, love and loss, and family, the latest album carries the classic Warrains stamp of individuality, uniqueness and charm Launched at Rosebud’s Carrington Park in May, Swayn says The Art of Listening has been well received by crowds within all of the usual traps played by the band across the Peninsula. With airplay of The Art of Listening on both PBS and 3RRR, The Warrains have garnered a following beyond the local crowd that’s come to know and love their signature quirky style over the years. A pull toward the city music scene has inevitably lead The Warrain’s to book the upcoming Bendigo Hotel gig, with support acts Suga Tree and The Pimlott Twins with Mitch Dean completing the Mornington Peninsula set. Playing at 2pm in the afternoon will ensure the typically hardcore venue’s carpet is a little less sticky than most late night gigs might entail, instead showcasing the classic laid back Peninsula vibe in a cool urban setting.

Make the trek to The Bendigo Hotel in Collingwood with The Warrains on Sunday July 28 for their gig at 2pm. You can check out their latest videos and gig updates on Facebook, Myspace and YouTube.

Also continuing in classic Warrains style is the production of quirky music videos, with clips for title track The Art of Listening and Pretend I’m Happy available online.

28 DAYS

BACK ON THE ROAD Thirteen years ago 28 Days were at the top of the Australian music industry. They had just released their sophomore album Upstyledown and were living the dream. The album gained much attention with hit singles Rip It Up and Sucker. PEARL Magazine caught up with lead singer Jay Dunne ahead of the band’s regional tour around the country.

The album debuted at number one on the ARIA Charts to which Dunne explains, “I was watching a VCR that we taped episodes of The Simpsons on when someone called me and said the album has gone to number one. I then went straight back to watching The Simpsons. It was pretty exciting but we did not know what was happening.”

INTERVIEW

He went on to discuss the tracks on the album, “I never really understood why Rip It Up became a hit, but I like playing it and hearing how much people dig it. When we recorded the track the guys said they had this tone going through the whole song, which apparently was a target they used when advertising something to fourteen year olds (laughs). Sucker is a great nu metal song and I had been listening to Limp Bizkit and Rage Against The Machine around that stage. Goodbye is one of my favourites too.”

The Upstyledown Tour consists of a few changes that notably include the lineup. Dunne mentions, “Jedi Master Jay had a four year hiatus and came back because he missed playing with the band. When Scott Murray passed on we felt like we were a cover band of ourselves at that stage and the heart and soul had gone. We had some really good drummers to fire us up and play again, but we approached Dan Kerby of Behind Crimson Eyes to join the band and not just sit behind the drums. Music was not meant to be a job for us and we love having Dan around. We have been in the industry so long and it is nice to have someone who is not jaded.”

He goes on to compare the life of touring in the early 2000s to the current tour, “Back then we could pack a house out in Sydney. Rip It Up was big and the shows were massive. We never really knew what was going on because we were enjoying ourselves too much. This time around the rider is a bit smaller (laughs), but we are paying more attention to whether we are playing the songs right. This is the first time we are playing the album from start to finish. We are playing songs that we have never really played live before like I Remember and Song for Jasmine.”

Growing up in the Frankston area, Dunne has some fond memories of the Mornington Peninsula. He explains, “I am pretty happy about playing at Chelsea Heights. It is a good place but we have never played there before, although it does make me feel like we need to release something new. It feels like it has been thirteen years since we have released anything.”

PEARL: The Beginning and the End of Everything is about to be released. How do you feel at this stage of the process?

PYKE: It’s different for every record, but for this one I’d definitely just say excited! This album just feels great to me. When I think of the songs I can imagine myself playing them live, and feel the response from the crowd, in my head.

PEARL: Is there a song on the album that you are particularly happy with?

PYKE: Well one that I really loved was Feet Of Clay. It went in a completely different direction than I would have taken it, which is a real testament to (producer) John Castle.

PEARL: Are there any rituals that you use when writing these songs?

PYKE: Ah, not really. Whiskey’s a good helper (laughs).

It’s always nice to go to the shed in my backyard and jam on a few ideas, but really inspiration just needs to strike. That’s kind of what the title track is about; most of the time artists and creative people are walking around in a slightly anxious state waiting for something to happen. You can’t really force it. You can read books and go to galleries and do lots of things to fuel the fires, but really you just have to kind of wait and be in the right frame of mind to accept ideas when they come up. It’s a strange existence.

PEARL: Have you got a favourite song to perform from this album?

PYKE: White Lines Dancing feels great to play because I can sort of lose myself in the song when I play it live, definitely.

PEARL: Something that’s been keeping you busy is The Josh Pyke Partnership. How did that come about?

WWW.PEARLMAG.COM.AU

PYKE: Well everything was going great - I’d been touring and I was a full time musician - and it had taken such a long time to get to that point that I had had a lot of time to reflect on what that meant. I remember I was staying in Texas in the Hilton and it was all like fancy, and I was kinda going, “what the hell is happening?” I just had this epiphany that if things continued, I wanted to give something back. So I came up with the idea of ‘Busking For Change’ on that night and sent an email to my manager saying I wanted do a gig to raise money for a cause. We raised almost $60,000 for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation! The other part of the plan was to start a grant for other artists. I got two grants when I was starting out and that helped me massively.

PEARL: You have just come off your ‘Fans First Tour’, what were your highlights from that?

PYKE: To me the highlight of the shows has been meeting the people who have been supportive of my career. When you’re at home or in the studio, you kind of exist in a vacuum. You forget that people out there are listening to your music and it’s pretty good to reconnect with people before you kick off an album cycle again.

Don’t miss your chance to see Josh perform songs off his brand new album The Beginning And The End Of Everything live when he hits Melbourne this August/ September and plays The Corner Hotel on Saturday August 17 and Sunday August 18. Tickets are available from www.thecornerhotel.com.au or 1300 724 867. As an added bonus, fans will receive a free download of Josh’s gorgeous and previously unreleased track Confessions For You with every show ticket purchased!

THE LINEUP HEADS DOWN SOUTH

Talent will be showcased on the southern end of the Peninsula as The Lineup moves to the new venue of Baha in Rye. An independent musical mentoring initiative, The Lineup develops young musicians by showcasing their talent and offering a point of entry to the music industry. Designed by The Little Theatre Company, The Lineup provides mentoring for young accomplished performers in a nurturing forum and professionally run space alongside other similarly talented musicians. Previously held at Cube37 in the Frankston Arts Centre, The Lineup is now set to bring a range of talent to light at the popular coastal venue of Baha, a cultural hub in its own right.

Speaking of the move, The Little Theatre Company’s Sally Baillieu says, “We were approached by the Southern Peninsula Youth Foundation and asked if we were interested in doing something down that end of the Peninsula. There’s such a culture developing and going on at Baha that we thought it would be foolish not to make use of that. Nathan of Baha is very motivated and enthusiastic about supporting young artists on the Peninsula.”

Indeed, the move will see doorways opened for young musicians who may have previously been inhibited by their geographical location. “We’re working with kids between 12 and 20, who for the most part, rely upon their parents to get around or use public transport.

Sometimes it’s impossible for them to get to Frankston, let alone up to the city to access cultural opportunities or doorways. Kids might be finding their music lessons really boring, but as soon as you present them with a gig, something to be a part of, all the practicing and rehearsal takes on a whole new meaning and they get really into it.”

Many young musicians have risen to the challenge, with Sam Saunders, Max Rowe, local band Roundhouse and indie-folk band Wishful confirmed for the Baha performance, and a range of other talent still to be confirmed. While some acts have been a part of The Lineup previously, others will be joining for the first time, each performance facilitating the formation and solidification of professional relationships.

“We want these kids, who are young and starting out, to meet other musicians and develop networks to make their music meaningful and develop them as professional artists. We’re putting people together and making recommendations, to write new songs, push certain material. We encourage them all to be in one room, do sound checks together, help each other out and even swap instruments.”

The Lineup is fortunate to have the continued support of Peninsula boy James Reyne, former lead singer with Australian Crawl, and now an acclaimed solo artist. Hosting the Lineup from its conception, Reyne has become the patron and role model for young performers within the program.

“He’s has been a champion for us, participated, been our host, a mentor for the kids, he loves the project. We also have to thank both the Southern Peninsula Youth Foundation and the Bendigo Bank Enterprise Foundation for their generous grant in making The Lineup, Down South possible.

The Lineup Down South will take place on Sunday July 28 at Baha, 2209-2201 Nepean Highway, Rye. Ticket prices will be available on the Baha website www.bahatacos.com.au MATILDA HEGGIE

n a recent interview Kanye West talked about the days before his first album The College Dropout was released. “At the time, they used to have the Virgin music [stores], and I would go there and just go up the escalator and say to myself, ‘I’m soaking in these last moments of anonymity.’” Now when I first read this, I laughed out loud for a solid two minutes and then remembered why I love Kanye West. He’s a dreamer. Every person with an ounce of ambition secretly hopes they can say the same thing about themselves one day.

It’s talk like this that has made West the most polarising figure in pop culture since his hero Michael Jackson. The difference between a hater and a believer is about as vast as the one between the KKK and Martin Luther King Jr…Now I’m sounding like Mr. West.

Yeezus (A play on his nickname ‘Yeezy’ and ‘Jesus’ - who needs no introduction) is a fascinating album when you consider the context of its creation. West’s previous effort My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was a universally praised critical and commercial success. While Yeezus might be a hit with

It’s a raw and defiant album of gritty minimalism. This is his Kid A, this is his What’s Going On. This is the album his record label wouldn’t have wanted him to make, but he did anyway. Hearing the album opener ‘On Sight’ is as shocking as hearing Radiohead’s Everything Is In Its Right Place after their previous release OK Computer.

Black Skinhead is the sound of glorious chaos, the sampling of Nina Simone’s Strange Fruit, genius, and on ‘New Slaves’ West fiercely embraces his darkness, his heritage, and the part of his father that was a Black Panther.

With all that said, West is a smart man. Surely he knows this album won’t be a commercial success? Yet he finds it necessary to put it out.

One in a million artist get into a position to create and release ex ‘make it’ or just trying to stay in the game, West has a broader approach to his place in the music scene.

Here is a man who I’m sure goes to sleep at nights contemplating what people will say about him once he’s gone. He constantly questions his relevance and this forces him to create music that will outlast him. Give Yeezus a chance, it’s brilliant. Sure it has its weakness’ but you’ll grow to love its flaws.

BEER TALK

H

ello Pearl Readers! Well, who would have thought a brewery bar established in the industrial backblocks of Mornington, two and a half years ago, could have proved such a roaring success.

Mornington Peninsula Brewery opened its doors to the public in October 2010 and, reflecting the Australian Craft Brewing industry as a whole, has gone from strength to strength.

A fully functional brewery sits as a backdrop to our bar and patrons area which also includes a mezzanine area overlooking the brewery and a spacious beer-garden. Our wood-fired pizza oven serves up a delicious selection of pizzas to compliment our six different ales on tap. Quality local wines and cider round out the offerings.

Our regular or ‘core’ range of beers are a Pale Ale, Witbier, Brown Ale and India Pale Ale, which is a hoppy higher alcohol interpretation of a Pale Ale. For those unfamiliar with Craft Beer, our Pale Ale is a great entry point to those brought up on mainstream lagers, though with a more fruity bouquet and lower carbonation to allow the flavours to announce themselves.

At last months Australian International Beer Awards we were proud to win ‘Champion Stout’ for our seasonal speciality ‘Russian Imperial

Stout’. Tipping the scales at 9.5% ABV (alcohol), our stout is a bold yet luscious and oily affair, boasting liquorice and coffee notes to die for. It competed against not only stouts from all over Australia but also a vast number from around the globe. We were also nominated for three other major awards on the night including ‘Best Australian Beer’ for our Stout and ‘Best Small Australian Brewery’, achievements of which we are mightily proud.

Within the next month the Brewery will be running Friday evening brewery tours whereby an informal and educational half hour will be spent on the brewery floor, taking patrons through the brewing process. We also have a ‘brewcrew’ club, which offers patrons the first chance to taste and enjoy our very latest ‘specialty’ offering.

So if you haven’t ventured out to Mornington Peninsula Brewery as yet, we look forward to seeing you in the near future, and for those who have we hope to see you again very soon.

I look forward to writing every few months for PEARL on all things beer!

• With one of the largest meal requests, Dennis Wayne Bagwell asked for beef steak cooked medium rare, three fried chicken breasts, three fried chicken thighs, BBQ ribs, a large order of French fries, a large order of onion rings, a pound of fried bacon, a dozen scrambled eggs with onions, fried potatoes with onions, sliced tomatoes, a salad with ranch dressing, two hamburgers with everything, peach cobbler, ketchup, salt and pepper, milk and coffee, ice tea with real sugar.

• Timothy McVeigh requested two pints of mint chocolate chip ice cream.

• Philip Workman declined a special last meal for himself, but instead asked that a large vegetarian pizza be given to a homeless person in Nashville. Prison officials denied his request, but homeless shelters across the state received pizzas from all over the country honouring his last request.

• Ronnie Lee Gardner requested steak, lobster tail, apple pie, vanilla ice cream and 7-up for his last meal, and spent his last hours watching the Lord Of The Rings trilogy.

• Velma Barfield was the first women in the US to be executed after the 1977 return of capital punishment and made no special last meal requests but settled for a can of Coca-cola and a bag of Cheez Doodles.

• With perhaps the strangest request, James Edwards Smith asked for lump of dirt for a Voodoo ritual. As dirt was not an approved list of prison foods his request was denied and he settled for a small cup of yoghurt instead.

RANDOM ROCK STAR RIDER REQUESTS Since Van Halen’s infamous demand for all the brown M&M’s to be removed from bowls of the popular coloured sweets backstage, the rider requests from rock stars and divas alike have got increasingly weirder...

Marilyn Manson demands every room he enters to be chilled to a deathly freeze with air-conditioning on full, a never-ending supply of Coca Cola and a bottomless bucket of ice.

Prince’s demands to have a physician on hand before every show to inject him with a Vitamin B12 shot and that all food in the dressing room “must be covered by clear plastic wrap” until he uncovers them.

A BRAND NEW BEACH ST HOTSPOT Every now and then you drive through the back streets of the Peninsula and discover a corner store or shopping strip that you never knew about, tucked away in amongst family homes and suburbia. For years, one of those gems has been found on the corner of Kelman St and Beach St in Frankston, where stables for the old dairy - which serviced the suburb in the 1950s and 1960s - used to lay. A few months ago high painted fences sparked the curiosity of locals as the venue (formerly the Beach St Garden Gallery Café) transformed into an exciting new culinary and entertainment hotspot!

Stepping inside ‘beach162’, you’ll discover Rome, Venice and Mexico inspired wrought iron décor, uniquely themed separate rooms and an atmosphere that, with the menu, will certainly set them apart from the crowd.

“We want each and every one of our clients to have an experience when they come through our doors... a little piece of Europe right in their own backyard,” says venue owner Lachlan Doughty. “There is nothing quite like beach162 anywhere we’ve seen and our dedicated team would love to share it with everyone!”

The menu combines distinct Eastern Europe influences with modern Aussie favourites including spectacular wood-fired pizzas, Tuscan beef, handmade Gnocchi and formidable Antipasto options. As of July 5, you can enjoy the menu in the new Pizza and Tapas Bar, perfect for predinner drinks or a quick bite.

On the weekly calendar, you can look forward to a $14.90 Pizza/Pasta night each Wednesday, a FREE drink every Thursdays with a main meal purchase and Friday evening happy hour between 5:30pm-6:30pm. Plus, you can catch live music on the first Friday of the month in the tapas bar, with Sunday sessions and weekly live music planned for the Roman beer garden in Spring, when the weather warms.

Come and discover (or rediscover) beach162, quite aptly located at 160-162 Beach St, Frankston. For all the info on their menu and upcoming events, and to book a table, phone 9783 7109 or go to www.beach162.com.au

Iggy Pop once made a bizarre request for seven dwarves, American Spirit cigarettes (which he doesn’t smoke) and broccoli (which he hates).

Questioned about this bizarre request, his response was that he wanted the broccoli so he could throw it in the bin – obviously to express his hatred for it.

Pharrell Williams of N.E.R.D. has made a name for himself in the diva stakes requesting to be supplied with a mammoth 20 crates of Grey Goose vodka, 15 magnums of Perrier Jouet Belle Epoque champagne and 20 crates of Bacardi rum. At one gig he also demanded that his posse be entertained by belly dancers and driven wherever they chose in a Rolls Royce.

Jennifer Lopez demands that her coffee be stirred counter-clockwise only.

Mariah Carey’s demands have included bunny rabbits, puppies, and kittens to keep her company backstage and she once sent 20 assistants to redecorate the toilets in a music store before an album signing to ensure the toilet paper was in her preferred shade of pink.

The Bloodhound Gang once requested a monkey, Christina Aguilera asked for Flintstone vitamins, Aerosmith wanted corn on the cob and fresh ears cooked for 3 minutes only, a large supply of napkins was demanded

by P Diddy with his name printed on all of them, corn starch for Nine Inch Nails, and underwear for Moby and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Modest Mouse also asked for socks to be purchased for them as they “don’t do laundry” and throw them all out, whilst Beastie Boys demand mountains of condoms in assorted rainbow colours.

Nibbles & Naughties... with Louise Plant (Holistic Nutritionist & Herbalist – Raw on Rye Tea House)

SO, SO, SOY

“Can I please have a soy latté?” ”No.” I reply. They look at me in horror. This is supposed to be a ‘healthy’ café. “Soy has far too many negatives and not enough positives,” I say. How many more times I will I have to say it? Too many, so I think it’s time to tell all.

“So what is the problem with soy?’ she asks.

“Cows have been fed soy and it has killed them,” I start. “Soy was only ever eaten as a fermented bean in Asia. What’s more, the bean they historically ate was not the genetically derived bean grown now. In fact, almost 90% of soy beans are genetically engineered and are grown in heavily chemically controlled conditions.”

“Oh,” she said.

Silence, so I decide to carry on. “It interferes with iron absorption and thyroid metabolism,” I continue, “plus in it’s processing, the proteins in the soy are denatured or damaged upon of turning the soy into soy milk.”

More silence “In fact children who have been fed soy milk in the past are now showing hormonal disturbances, years later on. It is estimated that infants fed soy are believed to have five birth control pills worth of estrogen every day.”

“Soy is a well known allergen and a hormone disrupter and it contains high levels of aluminum.”

More silence. I wonder if anything that I have actually said has gone in. Will she think about the hazards of eating soy milk when she reaches for her next ultra heat tested long life milk or is it in one ear and out the other?”

“What do you have instead?” She asks What can I say? Long life milk equals short life people…

The sound of stylus on vinyl can sometime only be properly matched by the sound of an ice-cold squealer being opened. It just so happens that with the vinyl & CD re-release of three of Aussie rockers You Am I’s seminal albums Hourly Daily and HiFi Way, the band has teamed up with Young Henrys Brewers to create something they’re very proud of - Brew Am I. “Capturing the spirit of You Am I in a bottle is a challenge, but one we feel equal to. Brew Am I is a new world pale ale clocking in at 5%, made with ingredients sourced from parts of the world that each band member calls home; rolled wheat from Tim and Rusty’s western state, Davey’s Victorian malt, and Andy’s Kiwi hops all combine to make the perfect accompaniment to the band’s music,” says Richard Adamson, Brewer and founder of Young Henrys.

After all, it’s music that has inspired brewers for many years!

Following on from successful shows in previous years, the 2013 performance will take place on July 26 at The Hallam Hotel. Doors open at 8:30 and tickets are $25, available from the door or to prebook via www.hallamhotel.com.au/shows. html#item_18058. For more information, phone 8786 0200.

The second annual Baha Battle Of The Bands kicks off Thursday July 11 at 8pm, with some new sponsors, great prizes and surely some awesome talent to be on offer.

With the help of Peninsula Hot Springs and Herradura Tequila, the Battle will consist of heats every Thursday night for four weeks of heats, each with three bands. The process is simple; the best band on the night of each heat goes through to the final on August 15. Judges will include Baha staff and local muso legends who will be looking for the best band, full stop. That means whoever plays and performs the best, not whoever looks the coolest or brings the most people to the gig - after all, it’s all about the music!

Winners from each night, in addition to a place in the final, will win sponsor prizes and cool stuff from the venue. Judges will be looking for originality and songwriting, musical ability, stage presence and professionalism, and the only criteria for entry is that you need to be an 18yrs + Peninsula act. It’s easy. Then all you have to do is perform set up, perform four original songs and pack up – all in the space of 45mins.

The grand prize will consist of $500 Baha voucher, sizeable equipment/instrument voucher from The Guitar Shack, live gig at Baha on a Saturday night (complete with recording of gig off the desk) and more! All musical styles can enter, from solo acts to 10 piece bands, so enter now on bands@bahatacos.com.au (Include your band name, lineup and contact details and we’ll get back to you soon!)

MUSIC July is set to heat up at the Mordialloc Sporting Club with a roster of great live acts including popular local act ‘Dirty Laundry’.

With the band’s two previous shows resulting in a lockout, eager fans will no doubt turn out in droves to hear the five-piece.

The group has been together for three years after originally forming from two separate 90’s acts called The Torpedo Punts and Jimmy Silver & The Steal. Rest assured, though, this is not a tribute act, with the guys putting their own unique twist on songs by legendary artists such as David Bowie, Mick Jagger and Bono and lead singer Andy Wilson (pictured) giving a sometimes grungy, but accurate illustration of their greatest tunes. The band’s 25 years of experience shines through, giving the crowd a live, very sweaty, “anything could happen” show that has them always coming back for more.

“We like to give musical accuracy of good harmony’s, everything is live, no keyboards”, says Wilson.

Inspired by the likes of Dave Grohl and the Cars, the group usually play once or twice a month with regular lockouts due to popularity.

Songs such as Don’t Change (INXS), Streets Have No Name (U2) and Get It On (T-Rex) are just a few of the favourites. The performance is always a mix of light and shade that ends up with a few crowd members on stage with the band still pumping out the power.

If you’re looking for a raw, live, accurate rendition of some timeless classics, then don’t miss out… get out to see Dirty Laundry. The band play the Mordialloc Sporting Club (Main St, Mordialloc) on Sunday July 14, from 3:30pm. For more info, visit www.mordiclub.com.

WED'S KARAOKE KOOL GOOD GIRL'S NIGHT OUT

FRI & SAT'S There’s new music entering the fray at one of Mornington’s favourite weekend party venues, with Melbourne cover band Eastwood Ravine set to debut on July 13, presented

by Lucky Productions.

Formed in late 2011 with a goal to change what it is to be a rock cover band in the current music scene, the five-piece quickly started to bring an infectious rock show to venues around town, far and above the typical and standard covers set of 70s/80s classics. Music from the 90s through to today became the focus for the group, who resurrected one hit wonders and some of the forgotten grunge anthems of the last 20yrs. Like the popular cover bands of that era like The Flaming Moes and Voodoo Surf Gods, Eastwood Ravine bring a high-energy show with plenty to sing about.

Featuring former Australian Idol finalist Phill on vocals, Brad on Percussion, Burky on Guitar, Jim on Bass and Jeremie on Guitar, the band was a last minute entrant into the ALH Group’s Calling All Cover Bands competition at the Hallam Hotel. The band had great crowds and high scores across the entire range of pubs, but won the venue final, enjoying regular work with the prestigious hotel. The overall competition final was held on the main stage at the Hallam, with Eastwood Ravine finishing runner-up out of all 22 bands.

Catch Eastwood Ravine at Beaches in Mornington on Saturday July 13. Entry is free and for more information, find the band on Facebook or via www.luckyproductions.com.au

JAZZ CONTINUES IN FRANKSTON H THE

ot on the heels of the hugely successful Mornington Winter Jazz Festival, the Frankston Arts Centre & Cube37 have booked two very special jazz performances from two revered and unique artists.

The first is Elly Hoyt, a gifted artist who with her debut self-titled album won the prestigious Bell Award for Best Australian Jazz Vocal Award. It was an album backed by a stellar cast of seasoned professionals, including Phil Stack, Tim Firth, Matt McMahon, James Sherlock and John Hoffman. Shortly after winning, Hoyt was accepted into Stanford Workshop where she studied songwriting with Gretchen Parlato, Rebecca Martin and Becca Stevens and went on to perform in Stanford, California and New York. “She is a brilliant young musician who is already singing like someone beyond her years,” says John Hoffman. “I feel that Elly has a very sensitive spirit, and a rare artistic sensitivity.” It will be an evening of smooth, seductive and versatile vocals in an intimate, atmospheric setting on Friday July 1 from 8pm.

Following Hoyt in August will be ARIA Award winner, Sarah McKenzie, who has been a mainstay at venues like Bennett’s Lane, The Paris Cat and at major festivals. Having been mentored by legends like Graeme Lyall, Jamie Oehlers, and James Morrison, McKenzie’s musical pedigree is impeccable lead to an ARIA award in 2012 for Best Jazz Album. After her victory and subsequent touring, McKenzie travelled overseas to study at Boston’s Berklee University with finest teachers of Jazz in the US. Now, on her summer break from Berklee, she returns home for a small run of shows before jetting off to the Umbria Jazz Festival in Italy. Don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy this rising star of the Australian Jazz scene before the rest of the world claims her on Friday August 30 from 8pm.

The Frankston Arts Centre & Cube37 are located at the corner of Young & Davey St, Frankston. Tickets for both performances are available by calling the box office at 9784 1060 or online via www.thefac.com.au ( 26

ROCKABILLY

The Rattlesnakes are a red-hot rockabilly act seeped in the traditions of the great music of the 1950s and post punk revival of the 1980s. With primordial jungle rhythms, combined with a fat, slap back bass sound and punchy guitar riffs, this band delivers a high energy sound that is impossible to stop your toes tapping to.

WITH VENOM

Since 2006 the outfit has played hundreds of gigs, releasing their debut EP Venom in 2007 and debut album High Noon In Hell Town in 2010.

Currently promoting their new album Moonlite Motel, their sound has evolved to encapsulate an eclectic mix of original rockabilly and alternative country, often throwing in cover versions from some of the more obscure artists of the late 1950s such as Warren Smith, Glen Glenn and Pat Cupp in their live shows.

This July the band will launch their new album at Moorabbin’s famous Lucky 13 Garage, having already successfully debuted the record in Newcastle in March. Don’t miss your opportunity to experience Moonlite Motel live at one of Melbourne’s much-loved rockabilly establishments.

For more information on The Rattlesnakes, visit www.facebook.com/ pages/The-Rattlesnakes-Newcastle-Australia. There are also a variety of merch options available, as well as music for purchase online via CD Baby and iTunes.

A BIG COUPLE OF MONTHS FOR THE MUNSTERS A band formed by accident (and thankfully so), Munster Terrace have been rocking around Victoria for almost 30 years.

Debuting at the Tropicana Club in Richmond in May 1985 the Oz Pub-Rockers have come a long way. What started out as an attempt to keep the spirit of Oz Pub-Rock alive has turned into a life of bringing great music to live audiences.

Munster Terrace features Greg (Sudge) Sullivan on lead vocals and keyboard, Paul (Jika) Williams on drums, John (The Rock) Morris on bass and vocals and Rob Broatch on guitar and vocals. Broatch returns to the Munster stage after a 17-year hiatus.

With the retirement of long time band member Dave Roberts (guitar and vocals) at the end of 2012, the transition for Rob and the Munster’s has been a smooth one (almost as though he’d never left)! To welcome back Rob, Munster Terrace will perform a live to air Radio Special on 3RPP on Sunday, July 14, so tune in between 12 noon and 2pm to 98.7FM for a very special performance.

If you’re looking to catch the band first hand, these locals do have an uncanny knack for delivering energetic live shows with a mix of classic rock numbers and Munster originals. Having begun playing at The Conti and The Rye Hotel in the mid 80s, it seems only fitting that the boys are still performing locally today.

Munster Terrance will be playing at the Rye RSL on Saturday, July 20 and Beaches in Mornington on Friday, August 2. For more information on upcoming gigs, visit: www.munsterterrance.com.

Don’t forget their live-to-air radio special on July 14 from midday.

SOPHOMORE ALBUM FOR ONE OF THE FOO’S

BUCHANAN HIT THE ROAD Melbourne band Buchanan have are midway through an east coast tour in June/July to promote their acclaimed debut album, Human Spring. The tour has been in support of the album’s title track getting positive recognition around the music industry and by Triple J and many other leading community stations around Australia. Co-produced with Catherine Marks (Foals, Death Cab for Cutie, Interpol, Kanye), the album was recorded across seven different studios, with the bulk of the work done between Tender Trap studios in Northcote and lead singer Josh Simons’ home garage studio. Things stepped up a notch when the record was mixed on an analogue desk by Andy Baldwin (Bjork, Midnight Juggernauts) and mastered by Geoff Pesche (Radiohead, Coldplay, LCD Soundsystem) at the world famous Abbey Road Studios.

Catch the band when they return to Melbourne on Saturday July 20 to perform at The Workers Club, and check out Human Spring, available now on iTunes. For more band info, visit www.buchananband.com

MELODY POOL, NEW ON THE HURTING SCENE 21-year-old Melody Pool from Kurri Kurri in NSW has spent the past few years working primarily as a supporting musician on her local circuit before using crowd-funding to get her to Nashville and to record and produce her debut album alongside U.S singer Jace Everett and producer Brad Jones (Missy Higgins/Josh Rouse/Justin Townes Earle).

Importantly, with strings and full band, the gentle production of her album is never allowed to mask the essential ingredients, which are Pool’s surprisingly mature and at times gut-wrenching words and the irresistible emotional reach given to with a seemingly effortless assuredness and clarity in her voice. The lyrics - tales of love lost, of domestic abuse, of infidelity and more - are so well-crafted, so poetic and so insightful that it’s hard, initially at least, to relate them to someone presenting their first full collection of songs.

Check out Melody Pool’s debut album, The Hurting Scene, is out now through Liberation Music.

Chris Shiflett and his band ‘The Dead Peasants’ have announced release of their sophomore album All Hat and No Cattle. The album follows on the band’s 2010 self-titled debut, which introduced the veteran Foo Fighter Shiflett’s skill for writing understated, infectious Americana-influenced rock songs.

He was inspired with the idea to learn an abundance of old school honky-tonk songs and then hit the road as a cover band while touring with Foo Fighters around their last album release. Once home, the Dead Peasants reconvened and spent months rehearsing before playing shows all through Spring and Summer 2012 before recording the record live and all together in one room, with only vocals and pedal steel overdubbed.

DOWN TO DIRTY

EL PISTOLERO

GARGANTUA

Destroy She Said

Tracer

(RELENTLESS MUSIC)

(MASCOT RECORDS)

Ash Grunwald (with Scott Owen & Andy Strachan)

In Down To Dirty, from Melbourne rockers Destroy She Said, you’ll find some great moments with glimpses of AC/DC, Black Sabbath and Cosmic Psychos. Early on, Game Over has hints of Bon Scott’s voice, with some heavy chords to compliment the charging vocals. Overrated is the opening track that has a simple line in the chorus of, “medicated drama queen”, prompting a curiosity that just hounds me. Who this was written for?

Is it just me, or is the Aussie connection just too familiar.

Grab your mates, grab a box of beers and listen intently to tracks like She Fanged It, Squirter and my fave, Fanta Pants. Epicness starts with rock - as it always should - and these guys deliver tracks that are smart, clean and musty.

Well done you good old rockers, this is good sh*t!

The new release from Aussie 3 piece, Tracer, is all about full-on huge heavy riffs, with a gorilla playing drums (powerful, not dumb) and it’s awesome. A very loose concept album, El Pistolero follows the life of a gunslinger; the spaghetti western theme interspersed into the music. The title track kicks it off, and sets the foot stomping grooved up pace of the album early.

The only real break on the album comes from the Ballad of El Pistolero with some relaxing flamenco guitar, but there’s more experimentation on the back half of the record.

Hangman has a sitar and Arabic feel to it, whilst Until The War Is Won is a standout, with tonnes of attitude.

MATT RIPPON

UP WITH THE ANCHOR

The Warrains

Andrew Swift & The Rattlesnake Choir

(SHOCK RECORDS)

(INDEPENDENT/BAREKNUCKLE)

Gargantua is the musical love child created and birthed from the mouths and limbs of Ash Grunwald and The Living End’s Scott Owen and Andy Strachan. It was a rapid series of events that brought these three Aussie gents together for what can only be described as an impromptu six day magical music recording session, culminating in the release of a truly amazing blues/rock album. Gargantua features a smattering of Grunwald’s original tracks that have been revamped and refashioned into something fresh and tasty.

You will also find a couple of very cool covers, including a gritty rock rendition of Break Out. And just to sweeten the deal, there are two brand new tracks – both ring true to the signature Grunwald blues sound with a very satisfying rock edge.

The Warrains have released The Art Of Listening, an album continuously testing the boundaries of genre. Four tracks in and you think you have it placed until Gringo begins. The Spanish-style guitar erupts and suddenly you feel like you’re on set of The Good, The Bad And The Ugly.

The contrast of vocals between main man, Chris Swayn, and leading lady, Sophie Pound, is quite extraordinary as the level of intensity changes dramatically. This allows for the band to showcase their many talents, venturing from exciting pop-fuelled brilliance to sweeter and more docile ballads.

Each song offers something to the listener, whether it the handy guitar work or the array of emotions it conjures up with its variety, there is always a pay-off at the end. One very promising effort from the Peninsula locals, an effort they should be proud of.

JESS SCUDAMORE

HADYN LEVETT

WAKE David Bridie (MUSHROOM) I was looking forward to having a totally open and unbiased listen to Wake, and wasn’t disappointed in the slightest.

Bridie’s voice is amazing… and he sings in tune! (A rare thing these days.) The sounds are rich and rare and the songs force you to listen. I like how the bottom end is used sparingly to emphasize the light and shade of the composition, and then the samples and synths carry them off to other far-flung places. This is no album for the conversational gaps at dinner parties.

(1827) Five tracks long, the new EP from Melbourne fourpiece Andrew Swift & The Rattlesnake Choir features kick ass guitar and some pretty cool song writing.

The Dockland Lights starts it off with a summer sound, then it’s into the single and standout of the EP, Refer To Atlas.

The grizzly vocals work well on this track as the band creates a thick atmosphere much darker than the opener.

My only (miniscule) problem was that, with the lyrics being so complex & compelling, it would’ve been nice to have them printed on the cover, but having said all that, standouts for me were You’re No Flower, The Shortest Day of the Year and Black Islands, with a special mention to the rework of an old Hank gem.

Sorry Holly has a kind of whiney hook that I couldn’t really get into, but they change it up for the last song, going more acoustic with a welcome sing-along feel to it.

t’s not often that a classic track makes a classic album, but that’s exactly what happened in 1968 when Californian band Iron Butterfly released their magnificent piece of proto heavy psychedelia, entitled In-AGadda-Da-Vida.

The organ is followed by one of the most recognizable riffs in rock history and has featured in countless shows and movies over the years. This 17 minute masterpiece epitomises the sound of early seventies proto heavy psychedelic rock to a tee.

Featuring growly vocals from founding member and keyboardist Doug Ingle (who also wrote this epic track), some mean guitar from Erik Brann and a two and a half minute immortal - drum solo from Ron Bushy; quite revolutionary for its time.

And, of course, with a title like In-A-GaddaDa-Vida there had to be a story to it. Simply, it was a very drunk Doug Ingle trying to demo his new song called, In The Garden Of Eden but it was just sounding like he was saying,

WROTE A SONG FOR EVERYONE John Fogerty

...with Ray McGrotty (Record City)

“In A Gadda Da Vida”, so they decided that would become the title.

Side one of the album is neither here nor there although it is certainly okay, but the title track is what sold the album. It’s definitely worthy of a place in every decent record collection.

CALLING ALL PERFORMERS TO KINGSTON Applications are now open for musicians, performers, dancers, cultural groups, street theatre performers and kid’s entertainers who want to perform at one of the major festivals hosted by the City of Kingston during 2014.

With Miodrag (Mick) Jankovic

SOUND

PASSION

JAMES VINCENT

J

ames Vincent has a unique ability to somehow combine all aspects of musical life. He is an accomplished guitar player, a more than capable singer, a photographer and damn good sound engineer. I found in him a stickler for detail and an attitude that nothing but perfection will do when I was called one day to sit in on one of his gigs to play drums and percussion. That was four years ago and he is still playing tunes most nights of the week somewhere on the Peninsula.

PEARL: In short James, how were you hooked on music and recording?

VINCENT: I started playing guitar when I was 11 years old, because a girl I liked in primary school was learning to play and talked me into going along to a lesson. I soon forgot about the girl and fell in love with music! I was playing in bands by the

INTERVIEW age of 14 and by 15 we were performing in live venues. Having little, if any money at that age, I had to make do with some pretty ordinary equipment, but I learned to get the very best out of it by trying to emulate my favourite artists and their sound.

PEARL: How did you get started recording?

VINCENT: Again with limited equipment, I learned the value of mic placement . I devoured music books and took small courses in large studios. I built my own home studios, where I recorded not only my own music, but other artists and radio commercials etc. In the quest for ultimate tone, I ventured into mastering back in 1995 and had 2 boutique mastering suites in Melbourne, before shifting to the Mornington Peninsula with my family to start Masterlux Mastering. I have a freakish obsession with tone, so mastering was such a natural progression.

PEARL: Who are some of the artists that you have worked with in the past?

VINCENT: I’ve recorded and mixed albums and songs for Lou Opie, Ash Grunwald and local artists Paul Dillon and Kristina.

I’ve mastered albums for Palorus Jack, Overproof Groove, Producers Steve McLaughin and Alf Touhey and a few independent record and production companies from Sydney and overseas to name a few. I’ve also edited and mastered the dialogue and music tracks for a french film by local filmmaker Adam Mackey.

PEARL: What work are you most proud of musically?

VINCENT: I’m proud of all my work, but I got a real buzz mastering Palorus Jack’s last album, which they were initially going to get done with the big boys in New York - Sterling Mastering. Both Sterling and myself got to do a test track each and I ended up getting the album job, due to “the warm and open quality of my tone and attention to detail” they said. That still makes me proud!

PEARL: What have you got on the go at the moment?

VINCENT: For photography, which has been my parallel universe since my teens, I own and operate Groove Imagery, which does commercial photography and video, as well as weddings etc. Musically, I’ve always got 3 to 4 gigs a week on the go.

Every Thursday at L’Aqua in Dromana (I’ve been there every week for 6 years) and almost equally as long at various times through each month at The Rose GPO in Rosebud, Pier 10 in Shoreham and Baxter Tavern to name a few local venues.

Dedicated to providing an annual season of quality festivals the city of Kingston has added an additional acoustic stage to each major festival.

QUEENSCLIFF WARMS UP QMF WINTER WARM UP –SATURDAY JUNE 22 @ QUEENSCLIFF TOWN HALL

CHRIS RUSSELL’S CHICKEN WALK

( 36

PEARL MAGAZINE JULY 2013

WWW.PEARLMAG.COM.AU

With 150 days to go before the 17th annual Queenscliff Music Festival, late June saw the Queenscliff Town Hall host the festival’s official ‘Winter Warm Up’ concert. Organisers brought together a diverse mix of artists for the night including Chris Russell’s Chicken Walk, EMPRA, Eagle and the Worm and Darren Percival and it was Geelong locals the Frowning Clouds who took to the stage first. Their musical flair and feel for 60’s style tunes was exciting.

Chris and Dean (Chris Russell’s Chicken Walk) stepped up and delivered a raw and intense set of boogie and “Chrisissippi” blues tunes.

Chris’s effortless delivery of some intricate numbers was a pleasure to watch. The hard rock spirit of the night was delivered by EMPRA who gave us a wonderful high-energy performance to raise the temperature in the hall. As the floor started to bounce, the crowd was drawn to the stage like a magnet.

Darren Percival (the runner up on The Voice 2012) is truly a vocal artist of the highest calibre. In a solo performance, Darren’s talent and artistry took the audience on an amazing ride. With the clever use of a looping pedal, Darren had the audience enthralled. The extended set included Darren playing piano and even a ukulele.

To close out the evening, Eagle and the Worm brought the party mood to the stage, with the eight-piece music machine delivering a wonderful blend of styles and flair. Their 3 piece horn section, pop and 60’s vocal harmonies was a fitting final act, treating the approx. 250 crowd members to an exciting preview of the upcoming festival.

All of the aforementioned acts will be appearing at the festival later in the year, with other headlines and acts revealed on the night. The 17th annual Queenscliff Music Festival will be held November 22-24th 2013. For more details see www.qmf.net.au GREG FISHER

Not just a Blendor-Mix BAKELITE EVERYTHING!

The Gulbransen Blendormix was marketed in the 1950s as a unit that “made a professional job of mixing”!

CONCERT MEMORIES - DEBBIE GIBSON Can you remember the first band or artist you saw in concert? Has your music taste changed over time and would you still pay good money to see that same band or artist if they toured though your part of town?

earlier to secure the tickets.

It was the first big concert any of us had ever been to in the big smoke, without the folks. I even had mum make me a new top and matching scrunchie for the big night (oh no you di’int!).

CH ECK O U T M O R E FR O M DONNA MCCOSKER AT www.hunguponretro.blogspot.com

HEY YOU GUYS!

I’ve been to various concerts since Debbie over the years: Madonna, Crowded House, U2, Kylie Minogue, Pearl Jam and others. The next big one I am heading to is Pink in August, so I guess I haven’t moved that far away from my love for pop/rock after all.

The first real concert I ever went to was Debbie Gibson in 1989. Hardly retro cool I know, but there it is! The venue was the Melbourne Entertainment Centre aka ‘The Glasshouse’, and Indecent Obsession were the support act (remember David Dixon?!).

Debbie Gibson was only 19 at the time of her Electric Youth Tour, and had been named the youngest female artist to write, record and perform a #1 single a year earlier in 1988. Four of us had lined up at dawn at Chaddy Shopping Centre months

CH CH CHOKITO There are few chocolate bars on the shelves that excite me as much as a Chokito. The retro favourite simply disappeared from Milk Bars and Supermarkets during my teens, but has thankfully made its way back from near extinction.

The good people at Nestle saw something in this old 70’s favourite, and decided

Now, you can hardly put Debbie Gibson in the same basket as Pink, but both are singer/songwriter pop artists who have obtained international success. In recent years, Gibson joined forces with fellow 80’s popstar Tiffany (I Think We’re Alone Now and Could’ve Been) as they toured throughout the US with their Journey Through the 80’s show. She also featured in Katy Perry’s Last Friday Night music video, playing Katy Perry’s mother alongside Corey Feldman (The Goonies, The Lost Boys, Stand By Me).

So, do I own a Debbie Gibson cd and do I have her songs playing in the car? No. Would I get the original crew together for a night of retro nostalgia should Debbie come back to town and play the Chelsea Heights Hotel? Absolutely!

(Minus the scrunchie).

DONNA McCOSKER

to relaunch the Chokito in 2010. New packaging, a new logo, smart marketing and most importantly a new and improved recipe (gone is the compound chocolate used in the 70’s bar), and the Chokito is back baby!

BIG HAIR – BIG MUSICAL!

So, while I generally agree that the original is always best, in this case Nestle have outdone themselves improving and rebooting a much loved 70’s classic.

Mmmmmm, Chokito.

POLISHED Looking directly into the faces of Australian icons is an arresting and slightly confronting experience, particularly if they are larger than life versions thereof. The Archibald Prize is always a treat, but sweeter yet that we have it here on our doorstep. Equally impressive were the portraits created by hundreds local schoolchildren dotted around the Peninsula in the inaugural Friends of the Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery’s Children’s Portrait Prize. The top 12 are hanging at the MPRG along with the Archibald Prize. Both openings were wonderfully well attended and appropriately celebratory.

Interestingly enough, at the Archibald Opening Gala, I met a former Mt. Eliza schoolgirl, Sarah Hendy, whose Archibald portrait of Jasper Knight is now hanging in the gallery she used to visit as a child.

Main Street Mornington also has all eyes on us as Oak Hill Gallery’s plentiful Little Archies exhibition entries spill out of the gallery and all along Main Street. Flinders Art Show exhibited an astonishing variety of paintings and prints in a reconfigured space that gave the viewer room to stand back and contemplate the work. Well hung.

Last blast of visual arts bliss I’ll shout out is Frankston’s ExUrban Screens projection art exhibition that spectacularly electrifies the night sky until July 5. What a brilliant start to winter! Enjoy the arts and read on to see what’s coming up next.

Happily, Your Arts Editor

On his way to school in Belfast, Ireland, seven-year old Roy Thompson stumbled upon a movie shoot. Odd Man Out, starring James Mason, was filming in the street and Thompson was riveted to the spot. All thoughts of school left his mind. He spent the day watching the shoot and assisting the crew. This experience sparked his interest in acting and it has been burning brightly ever since.

Fast- forward to Australia where Thompson’s family moved seven years later and the passion for acting was still in his blood. After high school, Thompson started studying acting formally. He worked part-time at the National Theatre in Ballarat before moving to Sydney where he studied a variety of acting techniques while picking up professional roles along the way.

While he’s studied acting, dancing and singing, two left feet pushed him into more dramatic roles. He’s been in show business his entire life, either acting, directing or writing, but it’s the acting he likes best. He loves the initial fear, but then he INTERVIEW feels invincible and at home on stage. “The audience can’t touch me, I’ve got a proscenium,” he explained.

Having worked for virtually every amateur theater production company on the Peninsula over the years, Thompson found his home with the Frankston Theatre Group (FTG). He’s been there for 30 years acting, directing and writing. He’s handled the front of house and worked backstage thereby experiencing all aspects of the theatre.

Thompson’s second original play, Eric’s Homecoming, is a comedy filled with laughs and a surprising twist when Eric, the proverbial Prodigal Son returns home after a long absence. His family had always admired Eric for his sporting prowess, but when he returns from overseas, he has a new distinction to share and it’s not quite what the Lowery family was expecting.

Insomnia has its upsides. For Thompson it’s often the middle of the night when he is struck with the inspiration for his writing.

Eric’s Homecoming came to him this way. The beginning, middle and end arrived all at the same time one night, but it took him 18 months to complete and he is still tinkering despite the fact that he’s now directing FTG rehearsals of the play.

Commitment seems to be the driving force in Thompson’s life whether it’s 50 years of marriage, raising his three girls, running a real estate business or a life in the theatre, Thompson understands follow –through. This is the secret to his success. After Eric’s Homecoming, he will work on directing The Diary of Anne Frank for the FTG. Thompson shows no sign of slowing down and he most likely never will.

Eric’s Homecoming plays at the Mt. Eliza Community Centre Fridays, July 26 and June 2 at 8 pm, Saturdays, July 27 and Aug 3 at 8 pm and Sunday August 4 at 2 pm. Bookings 1300 665 377 www.frankstontheatregroup.com.au

Around the corner on the other side of the tracks is an antiques treasure trove at the Tyabb Packing House as well as two art galleries. Tyabb also has the Peninsula’s only airport where one can learn to fly or take a joy ride.

WRITING

“Yeah, but what’s your real job?” is a question many writers complain is often directed at them. Somehow using one’s imagination or intellect is not real work.

Writers frequently have to do vast amounts of research before they even begin to write and massive amounts of editing to get to the final draft, but that’s not real work. Writing is just a hobby. Or is it? What do you say? Consider, discuss and share your views on our PEARL facebook page. If you have a hot topic you’d like to see addressed, send your topic to: artseditor@pearlmag.com.au

ARTY SCARECROWS

ARTS

Birds Of A Feather

ARTISTS SOUGHT Mornington Peninsula artists, groups, schools and businesses are invited to create an artistically interpreted scarecrow for the 2013 Scarecrow Competition and Festival Touring Trail to be exhibited in the Mornington Peninsula Hinterland.

MAKE ART TOGETHER

It makes sense that our nearest genetic link to the animal kingdom might have some traits in common with humans, but who would have thought it would be artistically? This is the subject of McClelland Gallery’s latest exhibition, NEST: The Art of Birds. Alongside NEST is another new exhibition, Air born, also inspired by the lives of birds.

NEST explores the innovative architecture and delicate construction of birds’ nests.

While appearing fragile, nests are actually incredibly strong. Each bird species makes particular building adaptations based on available materials, environmental conditions, safety, and family life. Sound familiar? Why does some birds collect seemingly frivolous materials to decorate its nest? Probably for the same reasons people do.

NEWS FROM MORNINGTON PENINSULA SHIRE’S CULTURAL PLANNING DESK The first Mornington Winter Jazz Festival was a huge success.

Now it’s time for reviewing how the festival was received and begin planning for the next one. The organising committee of: Melanie Sayers and Jeni Doherty from The Mornington Chamber of Commerce, Lisa Walton of Mornington Life, Simon Mills from Pearl Magazine and myself, as the Shire representative, pulled this first festival together in only 10 weeks by working closely together.

It represented one of a number of events drawing people down to the Peninsula over the Queen’s Birthday weekend.

Marty Williams (Peninsula SongRiders Club) created the rich local program of talent including: Deb McLeod, Peter Kaigin Trio, Oldscool, Brad Kennedy, Olive and Steve Romig, Aaron Roberts, Mojo Pearls, Oldscool and Fordy’s Jazz Line. Marty also made arrangements for visiting artists Joel Plymin and Mule Train and DC Cardwell. The ‘jazzy’ sounds of the Navy’s Admirals Own Big Band crowd favourite, Western Port Regional Band, should be part of any music program. The streets were alive with the tango and swing courtesy of visiting Ela Rose Dancers, the Orlando Combo and Gypsy guitarist. Main Street’s Market enjoyed over 20 roving musicians while our Farmers Market in Mornington Park saw 2000 people enjoying the free music.

Simon Mills from Powerhouse Entertainment booked and arranged production for visiting jazz greats: Vince Jones, Andy Cowan, Frank Bennett, Wilbur Wilde and James Morrison, Flap, Charlotte Jane, and Bugsley Buzzard along with locals Sarah Gardner and Maddison Wilson.

Coinciding with the MPRG’s Archibald Prize exhibition, the festival hosted: the Little Archies Portrait Prize exhibition at Oak Hill

DARKNESS Emptiness fills the room Gallery and throughout Main Street shop windows, Heritage walks and Mornington Library’s Studio 12 portraiture exhibition and the Friends of the MPRG Children’s portraiture competition made for a rich tapestry of local visual arts.

I’d like to commend the venues, sponsors, production crew, creative industries and the Mornington Chamber of Commerce in driving this great event for Mornington. The program of shows in public and private spaces worked very well. The festival debrief reviewed what worked, what could be better and considered some ideas and refinements for the future.

Next month the Mornington Library Foyer Exhibition Space displays Annie Dowd’s charcoal drawings from July 5 – August 2.

A carnivorous pot plant and a wildly enthusiastic cast performing a classic camp production, what’s not to like?

Little Shop of Horrors is a riot of song and dance guaranteed to have its audiences tapping their feet, laughing out loud and singing along.

with the world’s best choreographers. He’s wowed audiences on stage and on screen as the lead dancer in Baz Luhrman’s film, Moulin Rouge, and as a key choreographer in So You Think You Can Dance.

PLOS Musical Productions is just the company to bring this show to life. With fifty years of experience under their belts, they have staged a staggering variety of shows. While technically a non-professional theatre group, their performance standard is very high, which is all the more remarkable for the fact that the majority of these performers and stage crew also work full-time jobs in other fields.

Peter Jenkins is a primary school teacher by day, but by night he’ll be moonlighting as lead character Seymour Krelbourn, in Little Shop of Horrors. He describes this part as his dream role as he has a penchant for crazy characters.

Seymour discovers an unusual plant at the Skid Row Florist where he works.

Lovelorn and looking for attention wherever he can get it, Seymour develops a relationship with the plant when he discovers it can speak. The plot unravels into a madcap adventure of carnivorous proportions.

See this crazy little shop come alive in surprising ways at the Frankston Arts Centre from July 19 to 26. Bookings 9784 1060 or through the PLOS website www. plos.asn.au.

Give me a wave if you see me on Peninsula Link because Melbourne International Film Festival runs July 25 to August 11 and the line up is predictably exciting. Although the festival brings us quality and cutting edge films from across the globe, it is also focused on screening the best local films in this category. My first ever MIFF film was The Price of Milk from New Zealand in 2000.

This film taught me that our Kiwi neighbours crash a lot of cars and their landscape is epic, long before any Hobbits showcased this fact to the world. I would not have had access to this obscure film, forever burned into my memory, if not for this much loved festival. Here are some of the excellent Australian films programmed for this year: Not Quite Hollywood director Mark Hartley has re-made the 1978 cult horror classic Patrick featuring Rachel Griffith and Charles Dance (Game of Thrones). The original psychological thriller is regarded as one of the better quality films of the Ozploitation era, and its Hitchcock inspired direction earned international acclaim.

For me, part of Patrick’s charm is the authentic 1970’s snapshot, so it will be interesting to see this film’s modern day evolution. Will the new Patrick be as creepy as the original killer in a coma?

Ghost Films have made a documentary about Triple J regular Father Bob Maguire, In Bob We Trust. Possibly the only priest known to younger generations, he is loved and admired by everyone, except it seems, the Catholic Church. Father Bob was forced by the Archbishop to retire at age 75, against his wishes; his main crime being an intense desire to help the poor.

This film tells the story of the Church’s attempts to control and banish Father Bob and his fight to keep going since.

Aim High in Creation by Anna Broinowski looks fascinating and bizarre. I am not really across North Korean politics or modern history, but apparently the late Kim Jong-Il was a major film buff and he created a manifesto of perfect filmmaking.

Broinowski and her crew travelled to North Korea and made a movie as set out exactly in this Socialist Manifesto. In the process, they were granted access to never before seen aspects of North Korean culture.

Kim Jong-Il commanded, “Aim high in creation!” as one of the key ingredients to a successful film, which seems kind of endearing for a terrifying dictator/ film director and I can’t wait to find out more.

You can also see Geoffrey Rush in the collection of short films The Turning (multiple directors including Cate Blanchett). And These Final Hours, by Zac Hilditch, starts out at a music festival and finishes at the end of the world. Such a great metaphor because after a huge night partying, who hasn’t felt momentarily apocalyptic? There are over 400 films screening over 17 days so just go along and see anything at all.

In local news, The Peninsula Short Film Festival has set a date, February 1, 2014.

This will ensure a warmer night than last time! Submissions open in August.

Follow @PenShortFilm on Twitter for more updates.

Penny Ivison writes monthly for PEARL on film & TV. If there’s anything you’d like to let Penny know about that’s happening in the Bayside or Peninsula area in 2013, you can find her on twitter on @pipsicedtea or email her at whattowatch@pearlmag.com.au.

GOING FORTH THE PATRICK O’NEILL INTERVIEW PEARL: What is FORTH and how did the idea come about?

O’NEILL: Born in the cold south of Australia, FORTH is a collective powered by skateboarding, art and photography. I had always wanted to have my own collective, something to call my own. Mid 2011, I started designing and printing stickers just for a bit of fun and that’s when the name FORTH came to mind. Early 2012 the start of a school project occurred and we had to design our own magazine. This felt like a good time to put the FORTH name to something so i launched a one-issue magazine which explored the lifestyle of surfing and skateboarding. Since then, I’ve created a Facebook Page, blog and Instagram account where skateboarders and like-minded individuals follow the collective.

PEARL: Who is involved?

O’NEILL: Currently I am the one running the collective with designers and volunteers always helping out whether it be designing products, running the Facebook page or shooting some FORTH product photos.

When I speak about FORTH I say ‘We” or ‘Us’ because it’s not just me who’s

running the brand, volunteers, designers and photographers are a big help and considered a huge part of the FORTH family.

PEARL: Where do the inspiration and ideas come from for artwork, stickers, prints and blog life?

O’NEILL: A lot of inspiration stems from heshy skateboarding flicks, good rock and punk tunes. Magazines like What Youth and Monster Children also help to inspire us. Designers like Jamie Browne really know how to capture what FORTH is about. A lot of our designs capture the heshy skateboarding environment that we don’t see much of these days, something big name brands don’t seem to capture anymore.

PEARL: What is the main goal for FORTH? Do you have a 12-month to 5-year plan?

O’NEILL: Designing and bringing out new product is really the main aim for the future, and hopefully flow some gnarly skaters in years to come.

PEARL: Can we expect to see any team riders for FORTH as of yet?

O’NEILL: Footage is always being sent in from many of our rad Facebook fans, which I’m stoked to see. Currently we are just working on bringing out new product and running

PHOTO BY PATRICK O’NEILL AND TIMID

INTERVIEW the blog. In the future we would definitely consider flowing some skaters, a few people are in mind and we would love to get PEARL: Apart from tees, stickers and blog, what is another focus of the company?

O’NEILL: Sponsoring skaters is a future focus of the company and in years to come, we plan to design skateboards and help to extend the interest and love of skateboarding within the local communities.

Also being a part of some local art and photography exhibitions would be gnarly.

Instagram account and shoot us a ‘Like’ or ‘Follow’. These are really our main social network platforms where we drop big news and products. If you are keen on rocking some FORTH threads then head over to our Big Cartel Site.

Find FORTH on Instagram, on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ forthskateboarding or via www.forth.bigcartel.com DANIEL DIETZEL

PEARL: What does FORTH stand for?

O’NEILL: Forward Movement.

PEARL: Where can people go to pick up any merch or find out about what you guys are up to next?

O’NEILL: Head over to our Facebook Page and

EXTRADITION LOVE FUNDRAISER

Friday June 7 @ Baha, Rye ShedNine’s Extradition Love Fundraiser at Baha was a huge success. Starting early at 6 allowed a couple of hundred groms of all ages to completely pack the venue, all keen to watch the three junior bands and check out the art. Once the young groms cleared out, the solo guitarists, songwriters and DJs kicked off to a special blend of old and modern surf and skate films on the projector. It was an awesome night thanks to the culmination of talented surf photographers, artists and musicians who all came together to make something special happen.

As we speak there is approximately $2500 in trust to be spent on reuniting Scotty and Guia Mraz with more funds still being raised and plans for a similar event next year on the Queens birthday weekend. Till next time…

THE

DROP SHADOW PROJECT SHANE ‘CHEWY’ TAGS INTERVIEW

INTERVIEW PHOTO BY ZUZY ROCKA

PEARL: Tell us the story of ‘The Drop Shadow Project’.

TAGS: Whilst we were in NZ we were constantly on the lookout for a sick spot to shoot some photos. We found some that were perfect, but due to the poor snow levels we couldn’t pull them off. That didn’t stop the crew from BudderUp; we found the spot in this photo (pictured) just behind the street that ran along the lake. It was behind the pub and in the front yard of someone’s house so we knocked on the front door and were invited in for a beer. Four beers in and we had arranged to make a wall ride in the front yard of this local man’s house.

The goal was to use only what was lying around to make something rideable, so there was an old hay bale conveyer belt that we converted into a drop in ramp and hoisted it on top of a shipping container that was on the property. The crew form BudderUp invited some people they had met whilst in NZ to come and hit the wall ride from hell.

PEARL: How’d it go?

TAGS: The hay bale lift was barely wider than a board and there was no turning back once you’d decided to go! We had asked some photographers that we had met to come down and take shots and, although we had very little money to offer, they came down to get amongst the action. One of the riders was from Japan and friends with Fujii Tomohiro who was in town to film the World Heli Challenge and halfway into the night Fujii brought down the whole crew with all their high tech gear to come and see what they thought. There ended up being 9 photographers and one epic slow motion camera so when the Riders started to hit the wall, cameras started to flash and the vibe began to grow.

PEARL: Who was involved in the set up?

TAGS: The BudderUp Family, David Schaerf, Alex Beer, Devan Peeters, Rhys Hampton, Ryan Sykes and some friendly locals (you know who you are). All behind the Ale House, on the South Island of New Zealand in Wanaka.

PEARL: What was the vibe like on the night?

TAGS: The vibe was EPIC. It started off really quite as it was riders by invite only, we had a very tight crew to shoot and ride. In the beginning there were about 12 people, which continually grew as the night got later. At one stage in the night there was a traffic jam on the middle of the street and about 60 people sitting and standing anywhere to get a good view. We had a ghetto boom box pumping beats and the growing crowd getting louder and louder as each rider dropped in.

PEARL: How did you get all the snow to the centre of town?

TAGS: We paid a local truckie to bring down two tandems of snow from the Proving Grounds. The truck got bogged and could only dump the snow near the front of the yard which meant that it all needed to be moved the length of the property by hand.

PEARL: Would you consider running something similar in one of the towns below the Victorian mountains?

TAGS: We would love to get something organised here in Vic. There are a few spots we have in mind.

PEARL: Any final words?

TAGS: Just want to say thanks to everyone that was involved, without the help of friends this would never have happened.

SOUTH EASTERN SKATE & BMX LEAGUE WRAP UP

YOUNG PEOPLE

ASKED TO TELL US WHAT YOU WANT! Mornington Peninsula Shire is now recruiting for its Youth Advisory Group to help inform the Shire’s provision of services and facilities on the Mornington Peninsula.

Andrew Joseph, Shire Team Leader Youth Services, said: “we want young people to have a big voice on the Mornington Peninsula.

Following on from feedback received from our Youth Forums last year attended by more than 100 students from secondary colleges across the peninsula we’re are inviting all young people with an interest in local activities and services to join the Youth Advisory Group to tell us ‘what they really want’ to see,” he said.

T

he Mornington Peninsula Shire hosted the South Eastern League (SEL) Skate and BMX competition at Sorrento Skate Park on June 1, with the 10th heat of the series the penultimate round before the Grand Final.

With more than 200 patrons coming out for the day, the event did not disappoint and despite the less than favourable weather, the crowd was thrilled with acts of daring and skill, and with great prizes available there was certainly no holding back from the competitors.

The event was a partnership between the YMCA Skate Services and the Mornington Peninsula Shire FReeZA youth committee - Impakt FReeZA who host all ages, drug,

alcohol and smoke free events across the Peninsula.

Another hit of the day was the free sausage sizzle and veggie burgers put on for the crowd by volunteers from the local Sorrento Rotary Club. Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Youth Programs Coordinator Karl Kasbach hailed the event as a great success. “It’s always exciting to have so many people come out and support an event like this.

Mornington Peninsula Shire and its Youth Services team bring a range of events to

Do you want to have a say?

Do you want to make a difference?

Care about what’s going on around you?

“

He said the group will discuss issues and ideas that are relevant to young people, and bring a ‘youth voice’ to services and facilities being offered by the Shire. “We want to hear from our young people about what they need within the community and for them to have input into facilities and services being run throughout the shire,” he said.

To the young people on the Mornington Peninsula he said: “This is your chance to have a say and make a difference within your community and represent the needs of other young people in a space that is informal and welcoming”.

Mornington Peninsula Shire’s youth services team hosts a number of events across the Shire for young people such as music and skate events, offers a range of programs and referral services, and manages youth services hubs at Rosebud (YLounge) and Hastings (Shed 11).

Young People aged 10 to 25 are being invited to express their interest in being part of the new Youth Advisory Group that will meet monthly from the 1st August on Thursdays at 4pm at the Mornington Peninsula Shire’s offices in Mornington.

Interested in joining? Applicants can go to www.mpys.com.au/yag to download an application form and submit to Youth Services before July 22nd.
