Getting To Know Your Local Muso Deb Brunotte

By Sue Hedley Deb Brunotte has been singing for most of her life. She is a performer who is comfortable singing a ballad or belting out a rock song. Deb has fronted various bands over the years and has also done backing vocals for many local and well known Australian artists, plus being a session artist and a vocalist on advertising jingles.

Also she plays a mean tambourine.

MEGAscene spoke to Deb about how her singing career began. me to a singing teacher for a while. Later in What age were you when you realised that you could sing?

I’m not sure when I actually realised I could sing, I just always sang as a kid (around 5 years old) mainly into a hairbrush because I didn’t have a microphone to begin with. I eventually got a microphone and used to put on shows in the lounge room and make my family watch plays and songs I would make up and sing to. My parents enrolled me into modelling school at the age of 6 which I did for 10 years but during that time I always wanted to be a singer. I guess the modelling helped me become used to being on a stage from a young age, so when I did start singing live the stage was a natural place for me to be.

Did you have any formal singing lessons?

I had a few lesson at one of the modelling schools I attended but don’t really remember learning much from that as it was so long ago.

At the age of 14 I met Jim Hermel whilst I was a checkout chick at Pooraka Tom the Cheap … he was wearing a t-shirt with his band name on it and I told him I always wanted to be a singer.

He invited me and my parents to his place so he could play a few tunes and listen to my voice. From there Jim invited me to do guest spots with his Stone Mountain Band and sent

my career I went to a few seminars – one lady was a voice scientist … I learned a lot from her and how the voice works – as there’s more involved than just practising scales and reading music. The voice is an amazing instrument and learning how it all works is very important to use it correctly. I guess I’m a little dubious about many singing teachers as most wouldn’t know the right technique and just teach scales and music. I believe I also learnt a lot from working with great singers like Ian Polly Politis and Tracey Canini ... more than I learned from any singing lesson.

When did you take up singing as a profession?

Probably around 16 but I was still very green.

It’s been a long journey but I wouldn’t change a thing. Singing may not always pay all the bills and gigs come and go … but it’s healing for the soul and I’ve been blessed to meet and work with many amazing musicians. I have now been singing professionally for about 38 years.

You have been the voice on various jingles.

Which advertisements have you sung the jingle for?

Ummm gee, so many I can’t remember. The main one that is still playing after over 20 years is the Rite Price heating and cooling ad. Some

others are SA Quality Home Improvements, Rockwell Finance, Galligans (Mattresses), Portside Mitsubishi, Paramount Browns etc. I also sang on a few Humphrey B Bear albums, The Music Shop as well as many original songs for other people as a session vocalist.

Many people remember you from your band Sioux City in the early 90’s. How different was it performing back then to what it is now?

Lots!!!! Firstly we got paid more money and on time!!! The music scene was alive and happening. These days it’s a bit of a joke on the local scene. Back then booking agents looked after their acts and paid them decent money and on the night. These days some musos are playing for peanuts just to get the gig … which I find very annoying because it’s ruining it for the rest of us as well as upcoming artists. Some agents need to realise that without us, the musicians, they wouldn’t even have a job! More respect for musos is a must, as some hotels and agents don’t realise how time consuming being good at what you do is and how hard we work to do what we do - as well as the cost of equipment and maintaining our art. It seemed a lot more fun back in the 90’s with more venues and good bands.

MEGAscene • Issue 13 - 2018

Have you written or co-written any original songs?

I have collaborated on many songs that others hired me to sing on. I’ve written a few songs but don’t consider myself a song writer. Lately I’ve been writing songs with Louise Pearson in the Box Head Bitchez which is a silly fun thing we have created.

Timepieces Photo supplied

What other bands you have been singing in over the years?

Before Sioux City, I joined Tu Tu Z around 1986.

I was lucky to work with great musicians in that band (Steve Matters, Steve Fleming, Tony Smith and Rod Ling). In 1993 Timepieces, created by Rob Pippan, was a great band playing rock classics with Polly, Trace Canini, Carmine Scalzi and I fronting the band. Later various other singers and players joined us over the many years that we recorded and performed interstate for Omega Trend at the Melbourne and Sydney Entertainment Centres. ZAHARA in 1995, an original 3 girl group that Rob Pippan also created – one of his songs “Release Me” winning Australian Song of the Year by the Australian Songwriters Association. I was in Salvation Jayne for a while and we released a 6 track original EP but the band didn’t stay together for long. I also fronted DB Smash with Alexander Tomlin and recorded some originals with him. To this day they are still on my favourites list of original songs I have sung on. After that I have been involved in a few other bands but not really anything worth talking about. The past 7 years I managed, mixed and sang in my duo Acoustic Blonde, which is currently going through a line-up change and having a break until next year. I am currently looking to join a new band.

Box Head Bitchez Photo supplied

What has been the highlight of your singing career?

All of the bands and gigs I mentioned in the previous question. The Grand Prix Street

Party in 1990 singing with Sioux City to 30,000 people in Hindley Street was a definite highlight.

You have also performed as backing vocals for many Adelaide and interstate artists.

What are your favourite memories of those?

So many! Just some of them would be ... The Grand Prix Balls, they were fun, plus The Clipsal 500 in the year 2000 with Glenn Shorrock, Ted Mulry, Wendy Stapleton, Joe Camilleri, Ross Wilson, and other stars was also awesome. In 2007 working with Polly and other friends with the Adelaide & Brisbane Symphony Orchestra playing QUEEN was also a highlight.

Anything you would like to add?

Firstly, I would like to give a big shout out to Rob Pippan for having faith in me all those years ago. He is the reason I have experienced so many big gigs with the stars. Doing the gigs and many recordings I have done with him over 20 years has been a great learning curve and also introduced me to some amazing people that have become good friends for life.

Secondly, if any up-coming artists read this, I’d like to tell them to have faith in yourself and follow your dreams. I was told by someone once in the 90’s “Don’t give up your day job”.

charity founded in 1997 by the music industry, for the music industry.

Lastly, thank you Sue Hedley for including me in your Mag and making me remember all of those great times. Plus for all the great photos you have taken of acts I’ve been involved with over the years.

Gee, thanks Deb. :) Thank YOU for being in MEGAscene.

It really hurt and made me doubt my ability. If I had listened to that mean person I wouldn’t have done the amazing things I have been lucky enough to do. Stay true to yourself.

Work on your craft … never stop listening and learning and don’t become complacent.

Believe in yourself and surround yourself with positive people as well as good players that can lift you rather than keep you down.

Thirdly, one of the highlights I forgot to mention was being introduced many years ago by John Vincent to the Daisy’s Debonairs Luncheons (Support Act). A couple of years ago I was lucky enough to be invited to sing there a couple of times. It was such an uplifting experience and still is, being in the room with so many amazing people that put their time in for free to help the industry.

I urge fellow artists to join Support Act and become a member. Support Act is a registered

Paul Dempsey

By Writer on the Road: Michelle McGoldrick Paul Dempsey exists in a parallel universe: he plays country Victoria theatres one week – and stadiums in South America the next.

With 23 record releases, stints overseas, gold sales and collaborations with internationally recognised musicians - Dempsey’s career has almost been a dream run. MEGAscene spoke with Dempsey before his sold out show at The Gov Adelaide, where he talked about how he copes with the demands of touring.

Dempsey explained, “my touring schedule can get pretty hectic sometimes but I like a challenge and I seem to cope pretty well with sleep deprivation and exhaustion! I guess it doesn’t bother me so much because I honestly enjoy what I’m doing. I just genuinely love playing live and travelling around to different places. Every show is different, every crowd is different and every song feels different to me every time I play it so I never lose interest or feel like I’m going through the motions.”

During his recent Victorian solo tour Dempsey played outside the usual inner city venues by venturing into the suburbs of Belgrave and Mornington in his native Melbourne. He also included a sold out gig in Castlemaine, north of Melbourne. “I’m always happy to play just about anywhere,” he said. “People outside of capital cities love live music just as much as anyone else so I am totally happy to go out of town and play shows. It’s not enough for me to just play in Australia’s capitals once a year, I’m perfectly happy to go to new places and expand my own touring circuit so that I can keep myself busy and playing as much as I want to.”

Dempsey added with characteristic humility, “If anything, the crowds in regional areas are often even more lively and excited because they feel like you’ve made an effort to come to their town and perhaps they aren’t as spoiled for choice as their city counterparts so they really appreciate it.” Sure, but Dempsey has increasingly developed a big following since he started in Australia’s music scene in the

12

1990’s. Plus he has a natural talent of endearing himself to just about every audience he meets.

Whilst Dempsey’s latest tour was a solo tour featuring him solo on acoustic guitar, he frequently incorporates a backing band whom he has lauded as ‘wonderful and talented people’. Dempsey said, “Pat Bourke is on bass, Shannon Vanderwertt is on drums and backing vocals, and Adrian Stoyles is also on guitar/keys and backing vocals. Pat and Shannon were both in Dallas Crane awhile back. Pat played bass with Tex Perkins. Adrian is a member of The Gin Club as well as playing with Something for Kate and other bands.”

The inclusion of Olivia Bartley on guitar, keys, and backing vocals is a collaboration Dempsey is clearly inspired by, however, “Olivia does her own projects under the name ‘Olympia’ and she is absolutely one of the most exciting artistic powerhouses in Australia today,” he said.

Dempsey explained that when playing live the band followed an ordered setlist because the frequent changing of instruments with Adrian and Olivia tended to dictate flow on stage, “But when I’m by myself with my acoustic guitar I barely stick to a set list at all” he said. “I can just go with the flow, whatever pops into my head or whatever the audiences calls out for.” The live setlist of the Victorian tour included material from Dempsey’s solo albums, with a few covers thrown in for fun.

But what some people do not know about this humble musician is that his passion for music includes music production and a recording space in his own home. Being a multi-instrumentalist with an interest in sound engineering and mixing, Dempsey explained how he supports musician’s ideas and performances in his home studio, “I think the first job of the producer is be a cheerleader for the artists and create an atmosphere where the people you are working with are energised and excited about what they’re doing.

Then the whole experience is fun and the musicians feel confident. I also enjoy all the nitty gritty stuff of arranging instruments and getting the mix right. My ‘studio’ is just a spare room in our house with enough gear to do what I need to do. I have made albums in there for other people where we’ve gone out and tracked the drums in a ‘real’ studio, and then done everything else at home and they’ve come up sounding great.

But I mostly think of my studio as a space to make really good demos. Then I usually like to try and get into a proper studio and bounce ideas of another engineer or producer.”

Whilst Dempsey does not have a label - not feasible with his current commitments - he has favoured equipment for his home studio, “I was using the 16 channel Toft Audio Console and a bunch of outboard preamps and compressors with cables running everywhere,” he said, “but now I’ve reduced it down to a Universal Audio Apollo 16 interface into an iMac and an API Lunchbox with some Neve 1073 preamps and a half dozen nice microphones and I actually have some more room for instruments. But I think probably the most important gear in my studio is my Adam S2A monitors.”

From mid September to October Dempsey will

MEGAscene • Issue 13 - 2018

again change gears and join the internationally revered ‘Celebrating David Bowie’ tour.

The group consists of a revolving cast of world class musicians and performers who played with Bowie at different stages of his career - with the addition of some amazing players who may not have played with Bowie but played with e.g. Elvis Costello, Sheryl Crow, The Rolling Stones. Dempsey said, “ I feel incredibly honoured to have been invited along at all on this tour. And then to have been invited back again on a European Tour earlier this year - and now we’re touring Iceland and South America later this year. It is very exciting and a real pleasure to play such amazing music with a great bunch of people.” But Dempsey was keen to add, “the real star of the show is always Bowie’s music and nobody is trying to impersonate him or go off on any tangents with it, it’s all about just playing the songs and celebrating the genius and watching rooms full of people singing their lungs out to these songs that have been such a huge part of so many people’s lives.”

Interestingly, Dempsey solo performance of Bowie’s “China Girl” with ‘Celebrating David Bowie’ generated much discussion around what was perceived as a change

13

MEGAscene • Issue 13 - 2018

of style for Dempsey. Some fans surmised Dempsey may have been moving towards an American-style crooner-style genre.

But Dempsey doesn’t necessarily agree, “I’ve been singing for a long time now and I always feel like I’m learning new things and learning how to use my voice in different ways. I think I do a lot more with my voice now than I used to even ten years ago so I hope I’m doing more still in ten years from now. Defining or labelling things a certain way doesn’t mean anything to me. I just trust my instincts and do what feels good.”

Dempsey is easily the spiritual brother of the likes of Paul Kelly, Gurrumul, Courtney Barnett, Nick Cave - all embodiments of the millennium artist creating music driven by talent, ambition, instinct, love and luck when it is most needed.

But in the end, it is the person not the medium that creates the magic: “what inspires me are ideas, art, science, and history. I really like all kinds of music. Rock, pop, jazz, punk, hardcore, country, folk, death metal, classical, electronic … I don’t really care - if it gets me, it gets me.”

So is this the secret to those amazing signature songs Dempsey is famous for? “I scribble a lot on tour and record musical ideas when I’m sitting around backstage or whatever,” he said. “But then I need serious uninterrupted time at home for weeks or months to actually make sense of all the bits and pieces and turn them into fleshed out songs.”

“Lately I’ve been listening to Middle Kids, Julia Jacklin, and Tom Lyngcoln’s solo album ‘Slowly Slowly’. Something for Kate are working on a new album right now so the next couple of years will be a busy period for the band.”

MEGAscene will be at Dempsey’s sold out gig at The Gov on Saturday 15th September and the news is out: Dempsey is an old school metal fan of Slayer, Anthrax, Death, Iron Maiden, Carcass and Exodus. Remembering that Dempsey said his solo shows do not rely on a song list - this night will be an interesting experience for sure. Requests anyone?

THE DIRE STRAITS EXPERIENCE Due to popular demand from Australian fans and following a hugely successful concert tour of UK & Europe The Dire Straits Experience returns to Australia and New Zealand in September 2018 to perform the incredible catalogue of hit songs of Dire Straits.

They will be performing in Adelaide on Friday 21st September at Thebarton Theatre.

Other tour dates are: Saturday 22nd September - Canberra - Canberra Theatre Sunday 23rd September - Sydney - State Theatre Tuesday 25th September - Melbourne - Hamer Hall Wednesday 26th September - Brisbane - QPAC Thursday 27th September - Auckland - ASB Theatre Saturday 29th September - Newcastle - Civic Theatre Sunday 30th September - Perth - Perth Concert Hall The Dire Straits Experience features original band member Chris White on Saxophone, supported by 6 world-class musicians who have performed in the bands of artists such as Paul McCartney, Joe Cocker, Ray Charles, David Bowie, Tina Turner, Rod Stewart, Van Morrison and David Gilmour – they are the best of the best!

Over 20 years have passed since Dire Straits disbanded, leaving a catalogue of some of the finest compositions and musical performances that the heyday of rock ever produced. If anything, their reputation has only grown with time. Record sales of more than one hundred and twenty million albums continue to increase as new young fans discover the music and join the band’s massive worldwide following.

“I have been truly amazed and, frankly, humbled by the response we have had from the fans on hearing these songs again. Dire Straits have the most amazingly loyal fan base. It has been so great to reconnect with people I last saw in 1992 and see them still getting so much from this music. Also, it is fantastic to make new friends among the many young people who are now discovering Mark and Dire Straits. So many people still want to experience this live.” – Chris White.

Whilst Mark Knopfler and the band permanently parted ways in 1995, their music has never waned in popularity and continues to be heard on radio across the world.

The Dire Straits Experience celebrates this musical legacy. With the breathtaking skill and showmanship of the original 120-million-selling stadium phenomenon, hear them reignite the greatest hits of Dire Straits including Money for Nothing, Walk of Life, So Far Away, Brothers in Arms, Sultans of Swing, Romeo and Juliet, Tunnel of Love, Telegraph Road, Private Investigations, Twisting By the Pool and more.

Featuring a spectacular light show and state of the art sound, this promises to be the most ambitious and best DIRE STRAITS EXPERIENCE show yet.

Ashes To Ashes

By Michelle McGoldrick

MEGAscene Writer On The Road Michelle McGoldrick interviews Paul Matthews from ‘Ashes to Ashes’Adelaide’s David Bowie tribute band.

From such a large catalogue of music - why ‘Ashes to Ashes’ as the name of your band?

Marco Giardini - our keyboardist - and myself got together with the intention to start a tribute band. We are both passionate about the music of David Bowie, and we knew we needed exceptional musicians to make it work. It proved hard to find members though. Marco was in Japan when the news broke that Bowie passed away. Shocked like everyone, we thought it was the end. And although we wished to continue with this project, we didn’t wish to appear insensitive.

But our love and admiration for Bowie was too powerful and interest then started to come from other musicians for a Bowie tribute band. In short, because Bowie had a spiritual connection with Buddhism and was cremated, Ashes to Ashes only seemed fitting.

What was your personal inspiration to form “Ashes to Ashes’ band?

For me personally, it has been Bowie’s longevity within the industry. He continued pushing new boundaries artistically, whether in his avant-garde approach to music or his ability to tap into the current waves in society. David Bowie was not only about the music. He broke barriers for those who felt outside society, he worked with various musicians - black Americans for instance - and he pushed for a better acceptance towards every race, in the subtle yet noticeable ways.

16

What affects you the most about Bowie’s music, and how is this reflected in your live performances?

For me there’s always been an element of jazz in his music. It became more relevant on the release of Aladdin Sane album. There’s eloquent piano concertos and subtle technical guitar virtuosos from the one and only Mick Ronson that captivated and mesmerised me at a very tender age. Taking any of these kind of songs that he’s created and bringing them to life, with authenticity, is crucial for me and the band.

I haven’t got the good looks Bowie possessed.

(I’m better looking. No...no..don’t print that!) If people come to our show expecting a mullet wig and a glam wardrobe change they will be sorely disappointed. Bowie was true to himself, which is what I admired about him. The Ashes band is about the delivery and precision of music and energy on stage - inspired by the precision and energy Bowie mustered in every live performance.

Who are the band members in Ashes to Ashes?

Marco Giardini is a classically trained pianist and he’s been playing piano since a young age. He’s a huge Simple Minds fan, as well as Bowie of course and he plays in many tribute bands and cover bands and he also a side project of original material with myself.

MEGAscene • Issue 13 - 2018

Matt Way, our lead guitarist, is in a number of bands also. He is the most humble modest man I have ever known. He’s worked with original band, 4 Kings Loud, and East – Tribute to Cold Chisel. Matt has many interests including a home studio, photography and flying drones.

There’s not a thing this man cannot do.

Rock Band. There’s not a thing Nigel doesn’t know. I don’t need Wikipedia, I have Nigel.

Nigel Bourn (AKA Mondo, because of an amazing Mondo Rock tee he had worn at rehearsal), is our saxophonist. Mondo has the passion and love for sax. Each time he brings something new that amazes me. Nigel loves blues, and he is involved in another band called The Honey Badgers who are a blues, soul and funk band. I thoroughly recommend them.

Now for our Suffragette’s: Iris Montanari, backing vocalist, is a singer in her own right fronting many bands such as Iris, and Devine Alls – A Tribute to Chrissy Amphlett & The Divinyls. Iris also regularly performs with Adelaide’s own Clearway.

Then we have Nigel Walters - yes, another Nigel, who plays bass. An ever reliable groove meister, Nigel keeps all of us locked in. Absolutely incredible what he does. Nigel is involved in many bands and is a recording session musician. He is highly regarded, and he tours with Spiral Dance, a Pagan Folk

Peter Kershaw, our drummer, was part of the original lineup of 90’s band, The Violets. An absolute talent behind the drums, Peter has a great feel and is absolutely awe inspiring to watch live.

Suezi Jay, is our other backing vocalist who sings backing vocals in many bands.

Suezi and her husband Matt run their own acoustic duo, Matuezi, and they gig anywhere and everywhere. They often regularly perform for the elderly in nursing homes and they both enjoy it immensely.

Finally, myself - Paul Matthews, singer. I’ve performed in a number of bands over the years, original and covers. I’m currently also fronting These Days – The Powderfinger Experience.

Paul Matthews Photo: Lisa Vincent

Playing live: does the band set out to intently recreate Bowie magic on stage - or is it because you all are Bowie fans it happens ‘naturally’?

I think if anyone chooses to perform, you need intent and determination to win over any punter who has paid to see you. Sure, you can say that some musicians have a natural gift,

and many in our band do. But I think you’re kidding yourself if you go out on a whim live, expecting those to enjoy your performance and not work for it. I believe in giving 110%.

That should go for anything we do in life.

What is in ‘Ashes to Ashes” live set list, and why?

We always make a habit of playing all the favourites that are recognisable to all the fans first and foremost. Then you’ll always have the enthusiastic fan who likes the obscure songs. We rotate the set list and surprise people. Being an enthusiast, I would love to include more of the obscure songs in our set list but it’s not feasible.

People want to have fun and dance, and that’s really what we try and provide.

18

Favourite Bowie album?

Currently Black Star. But how can you choose one from the other? Pin Ups was fantastic because you can tell he was having fun playing songs he had grown to love and he had this amazing knack to make it his own. Space Oddity, Man Who Sold The World, Hunky Dory, Aladdin Sane, Diamond Dogs, Station to Station, these are my personal heavyweight gems.

Blackstar, Bowie’s last album. What’s your view of the album?

If you were ever given a green light to write your own mortality and artistically bring it to fruition as an offering to the world as your final farewell, you would be considered a genius. That’s what Black Star is - pure genius and brilliance!

It was as though it were scripted by the Alien himself and the heavens, like a messiah riding into Jerusalem on a donkey, welcomed as a hero, only to be condemned to death. Some amazing personal undertones within that album of art. A fitting ending for a 21st century icon.

What is your favourite Bowie period i.e.

Ziggy stardust, the Thin White Duke?

There was a lot to love about the pansexual period Ziggy, the Alien that fell to earth. Pure genius. But musically, the Thin White Duke period was an incredible transformative period for Bowie, artistically brilliant. No other artist has crossed genres in such a manner.

Recounts of seeing Bowie live or ‘Celebrating David Bowie’ when they played in Australia last year?

I was too young for the Serious Moonlight Tour, and I missed the Glass Spiders sadly but caught the Reality Tour at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre. It was fantastic but I wish I was at the Hammersmith London for his farewell Spiders Tour or during the Thin White Duke period.

What’s the future for ‘Ashes to Ashes’, where to from here - touring the Melbourne Bowie scene, Carinda

Let’s Dance 2019, overseas?

We’re booked for Carinda Let’s Dance 2019 - looking forward to stepping on the hollow turf! But when it comes to touring, it’s finding the budget. At the moment we’re still relatively new and - I hate to say it - but sometimes I feel Adelaide is often blind sighted by other States, as though our musicians here aren’t worthy? But I’ve learnt to be grateful for all that I have currently and I’m enjoying the moment.

Mark Lobert Gallery

By Sue Hedley Mark Lobert has been painting professionally for just under 20 years and was a hobbyist before that.

His gallery was awarded “Best Emerging Fringe Venue” at the Adelaide Fringe Festival in 2009.

“I can remember I have always played with colour and design,” said Mark.

He also received “Specialty Retailer Award” in the Messenger Local Business Awards three times, and was Runner Up once. His artwork “The Sanctuary” won the ”Watershed Art Prize” in 2012.

He started painting as far back as five years old and studied art in high school.

“I never did that well at high school, however art was always my passion and was the only subject I passed.”

His paintings are sold around Australia and throughout the world and he has received international praise for his unique art.

Mark admires artists Jackson Pollock, Ken Done, and Pro Hart. I asked if his work is influenced by those artists.

He is currently exhibiting his work at The Royal Adelaide Show.

Mark doesn’t just sell you a painting. He will go to your home and/or business and match colours with personalities and decor, and paint your stories. For interstate and overseas clients he also consults through the the web and email.

He describes his style as abstract and modernist and is known for his images of poppies. He tends to paint flowers, landscapes and animals the most.

“I’m an artist and I love what I do. I use every minute I can to express myself on canvas. Everything is an inspiration.

I started to paint as a creative way to express myself, and it grew from there.

My art is who I am, some works are simple, bright and bold. Others are complex, intricate and layered. I am all those things often at the same time.”

For Mark, everything is about sharing the joy of painting, and telling stories through colour and imagery.

Mark donates $100,000 a year worth of paintings to charities for them to auction so they can raise money for their cause..

Mark works out of a warehouse in Kilkenny and also has a gallery there.

“I find we all should pay it forward in life even when we feel down other people can be having a worst day than you. So if my art can help change someone’s day in any way it can only be a good thing.”

“I think it probably would be to a certain degree,” he said.

“I find running the gallery out of the warehouse is a big plus as it keeps thing real and at hand for my clients at a more reasonable price.”

He has had an annual exhibition at Adelaide Airport running for 7 years, and he also has exhibitions in his gallery at his warehouse.

20

Mark also holds workshops for aspiring painters.

“I find it beautiful to see the excitement on people’s faces when they walk out after the class with something they are proud of.”

BendArts Festival

By Michelle McGoldrick

BendArts Festival: from dream to reality The southern States of Australia are undeniably high profile leaders in contemporary arts culture: think Adelaide’s Art Gallery of South Australia, MONA in Hobart, and Melbourne’s vast gallery and exhibition landscape. But in recent years a dark horse has cut through this dominance with the rise of provincial exhibitions and galleries.

MEGAscene Writer on the Road, Michelle McGoldrick, discovered an ambitious new art festival in central Victoria.

Victoria has long spawned creatives who’ve managed to make their provincial roots look really cool. Now, in 2018, a new wave of regional visionaries is coming through and it is these artists who are channelling the vision of an important central Victorian artist - Hugh Waller.

24

Born in Bendigo Victoria, Waller spent much of his life exhibiting his art in Australian and overseas art spaces including The Louvre Paris.

But unexpectedly, Waller passed away after a short illness in 2017 and his friends and colleagues pledged to carry his dream forward for a new regional Victoria arts festival. On the back of this promise, Waller’s dream for a BendArts Festival is now a reality.

As the winner of ‘Regional Centre for Culture in 2018’, Bendigo has thrown its’ support behind the BendArts Festival through a series of prelude events leading to the festival launch on 19th October. In June this year the BendArts Festival committee held a fundraiser film night at central Victoria’s boutique filmhouse, Star Cinema. The screening of New York film “Winter at West Beth” was a reminder that age is no barrier to creating art and that art exists to be challenged, questioned and embraced.

The Australian director of the film, Rohan Spong, was at the screening and participated in an Q&A at the end of the screening.

More recently the BendArts Festival staged another prelude event which was the first of its’ kind in central Victoria. The event featured a rotation of musicians who played live whilst a group of diverse artists created works in response to the music.

The result was the creation of a live art installation which gained immense attention and support from the local art community.

The event was also broadcast live across

Prior BendArts function at Dudley House, Bendigo

MEGAscene • Issue 13 - 2018

the globe via central Victoria radio station Phoenix FM 106.7. The station streamed music and interviews live from a fully equipped broadcast van parked adjacent to the venue. Via email and text, the station received enthusiastic comments from listeners in Australia, the USA and the UK. The BendArts Festival is driven by committee of big picture people. With collective experience which includes running galleries and

exhibitions, teaching art, winning major art awards, media events - and creating their own art; the committee were excited to announce the pièce de résistance of the new BendArts Festival - the Waller Art Prize. Entries are now open to the Waller Art Prize which is designed to attract Australia’s finest contemporary artists and high calibre works. The Waller Art Prize is an inaugural art prize and exhibition which will be first held in October 2018 at Trades Hall, Bendigo. The most outstanding works, as judged by the selection panel, will awarded an non-acquisitive cash prize pool of $5,000.

Submissions are invited from all artists. Any two-dimensional art work including painting in any medium, drawing, printmaking, photography, digital art and mixed media is eligible for consideration. Prizes awarded by the Judges are; the The Waller Art Prize ($4,000), Highly Commended ($500) and People’s Choice ($500).

Works from the shortlisted artists are on display during the festival week in the The Waller Art Prize Exhibition. The artworks will be available for sale, without commission.

BendArts Festival organiser Richard Atkins explained: “BendArts Festival is a not-forprofit organisation created to advance sustainable arts culture in Bendigo and central Victoria through an annual arts festival which will promote the value of the arts to the community. We aim to connect community and art through events relating to the Arts. The festival is an opportunity for the local arts community, centred around Bendigo, and the community at large to engage with local arts, artists and artistic endeavours throughout the Bendigo region.”

The Prize has been initiated by, and in honour of, Bendigo artist & BendArts founder Hugh Waller (1959 - 2017).

Cancer survivor Brian Cain wants to help others after cancer experience Imagine getting the shocking news you have just three months to live. The alternative?

Major surgery with just a sixty percent chance of survival.

That is what confronted veteran musician and Fleurieu Bluesbreakers rhythm and blues band front man, Brian Cain. The sixty-five year old was given the news March in this year.

Brian underwent surgery and chemo therapy in April this year.

Thankfully, Brian was given the all clear in July and the experience has been life changing.

Brian said: “It [the experience] was horrific. I now know what it’s like to go through what so many are burdened with. I have seen and heard of this disease for a long time … sometimes through friends and persons I have known personally.”

“Not many people are without some kind of direct contact with cancer, be it personally or indirectly” he said.

Brian praised the efforts of all those involved in his surgery, treatment and recovery including medical staff, support staff, his beloved family and friends and Flinders Medical Centre.

When asked about what the experience was like during his darkest days Brian was quick and fluent with a reply. “When you ring the bell at the chemo infusion unit and wave good bye to those you have spent the last few months fighting for your life, you walk out into the street appreciating every single second you have been given.”

Brian was asked how the experience changed him: “I now spend as much time with my family as I can, raising awareness of how it really is”.

The multi award-winning musician has now vowed to do all he can to help others through a confronting process. Brian said, “I will assure those who may be affected [with cancer] - if there is hope for me there is hope for you”.

Brian is now raising money for institutions and treatments that assist people who are affected by the disease.

Live Sound Advice

By Frank Lang

IN HOUSE SOUND ENGINEER I have been filling in for some weeks now at the Semaphore workers club as the house sound engineer. The Club have a great in house PA system and great bands.

Sometimes if the sax for instance, is standing to the far left I’ll put the pan hard left and perhaps the echo toward the right, I think what I’m getting at is, experiment and play.

It’s a 5 week stint and I am thoroughly enjoying the work.

One thing missing often though, is the band supplying stage plots, a simple diagram of amp drum placement and mic requirements.

It helps to know beforehand so get in touch with me if you want one made up.

By now readers should know I’m a longtime user of the Mackie Master Fader and dl1608 digital iPad option. So I set that up at the club, and ran lines so that I had most band line-ups covered, with vocals and DI’s at the front, Kik, Sn/hh, and a splitter for rack and floor, bass and guitars across the back. The usual desk assignment from left to right, drums, bass, keys left half and vocals to the right of the board. I used a previous show at the club as a starter template.

Once the tuning of wedges and front of house were completed, I was set for most of the rest of my time mixing.

The club has beta 58A mics for vocals and what a difference they make on the older SM58. So good mics, 3000 watts power amp per side providing nice headroom into the EV speakers, with good foldback assigned aux1 (facing the stage left) and aux2 (facing right).

I’m hearing good sounds and all at less than normal input gain settings, and getting thumbs up from both punters and bands.

I have worked out a couple of sweet spots in the room, and I am enjoying panning left and right. It seems to make the stage sound more transparent, in the room.

I have pondered the argument that if you are standing to the right, you don’t hear instruments to the left, but all things taken into account a little careful panning helps a lot. Sometimes I put the solos in the centre and that makes them a little louder.

30

I am a player and a sound person and I fondly remember years ago when I played bass for the Sensational Bodgies, our sound engineer Dave Bunny (later to play drums for the Exploding White Mice) always pulled a great sound. I could always sense when the mix was really good because the on stage sound was transparent; you could hear everything.

Perhaps one in 10-15 times the stage sound was not that great and I put that down to a bad room, and by the way I’d like to thank Dave And Bruce Petherick (lights) and Blair Burt and Ian MacDonald (management) for one great year of my life, and also the brothers Morrison.

I was perhaps unwise to leave that gig behind.

So to wrap it all up: The gear is set up, the room is the same, the band template for the next 2 or even more shows can be easily set up off site, once the tuning of wedges and front of house is completed, I am set for most of the rest of my time mixing.

There are pluses for the engineer and next edition I will put it out there for publicans and pub owners that “in house” is the way to go.

Cheers, Frank

Rockstar Roadies and How To Tell If You Have Hired One

Rockstar Sound Engineers

• He wears his good clothes to a load-in, then doesn’t load in because he is dressed too good.

• He doesn’t load in full-stop.

• His sound desk is surrounded by barriers so he does not get drinks spilled on his gear.

• He springs into action at the sight of the band manager, fiddling knobs furiously on channels that are not connected.

• He must dance shamelessly behind the desk for the last three songs.

• If the singer upsets him, he just turns him down in the mix.

• If the drummer upsets him he just doesn’t mic up all his drums.

• If the guitarist upsets him, he just refuses to ever mix for the band again.

• If anyone in the audience criticises his mix, he just walks out and goes home while the band is still playing.

• He blames the band for a bad mix.

• When the guitar is too loud he blames the guitarist for playing too loud onstage.

• He is stupid enough to try to turn down a loud guitarist’s amp during performance.

• When on tour he demands his own hotel room.

• He travels with more hair gel and cosmetics than the musicians.

• He feels that part of his job is procuring women for the band members.

• He doesn’t want to party with the rest of the road crew and prefers to hang out with the band.

• Quotable quotes: “Would you like to come back to my room?”

• How many sound engineers does it take to change a light globe? One to turn the globe and to make sure it sounds right at the same time.

SA PARANORMAL

By Allen Tiller

The Adelaide Ghosts and Ghouls and Walking Tour Back in 2016 City Libraries history study in the council

I was invited by the Adelaide to undertake a world first into ghosts and hauntings area of the City of Adelaide.

Titled “Haunted Buildings in Adelaide”, the project encompassed inviting members of the public to come into the City Library and North Adelaide Library to express their own personal encounters with ghosts in the City of Adelaide.

I then took those stories and investigated them, as well as a number of already well known Adelaide ghost stories, and investigated their history. In the first year, we had over 90 people attend, and at least 40 of those stories ended up being added to the libraries catalogue under the heading “The Allen Tiller Collection: Haunted Buildings in Adelaide”.

In 2017 I returned to the library to turn those stories, and some new ones into 5 self-guided walking tours through the City of Adelaide.

At the end of history month this year, we launched one of those tours, titled the “Ghosts and Ghouls and Self-Guided Walking Tour”. The difference between this tour, and other tours, is the City Library invited a professional sound recordist, Mr Anthony Frith, to record me speaking the tour stories.

The tour is a downloadable, free self-guided walking tour which you can find via this link: https://www.cityofadelaide.com. au/explore-the-city/visit-adelaide/ maps-trails-and-guides/adelaideghosts-and-ghouls-walking-tour The tour starts at the City Library, so I thought I’d share with you all the starting story of the tour:

32

A Ghost in the Library Harris Scarfe’s city store sat on this site previously to the current Rundle Place building.

The Harris Scarfe’s building was constructed in 1917 and, in an unfortunate accident, a concrete worker fell into the foundations as they were poured. He was sucked down into the mix, suffocating and crushing him at the same time. It was deemed too difficult and risky to save the worker, and after the concrete had set, too expensive and labour intensive to remove his body – so he was left in the foundations.

In 2012, McMahon Services were engaged to demolish the previous building and construct the new one you see today. As part of their plan, they decided to recycle as much of the original building materials as possible.

The old steel, glass and concrete was stored, crushed or melted, and reused in the construction of the present building. Including the concrete in which the worker had died.

So the remains of that worker, that were previously in the foundations, can possibly be found across the entire building today, and perhaps, that explains one of the hauntings associated with the building … but perhaps, more interesting, and relative to the city library, is another more modern death.

open, you’d hear footsteps and then the lift comes back down to the basement and you’re thinking ‘well, I know I’m the only one here’.”

You can find the City Library at Level 3, Rundle Place, Rundle Mall (Enter via Francis St - off Rundle Mall or via Da Costa Arcade) The Adelaide Ghosts and Ghouls Walking Tour, a different way of seeing Adelaide!

Allen Tiller is Australia’s most recognised paranormal investigator, eminent paranormal historian, and star of the international smash hit television show “Haunting: Australia”.

Allen is also the founder of Eidolon Paranormal, South Australian Paranormal and the author of book and Adelaide City Library Photos: Allen Tiller blog, “The Haunts of Adelaide: History, In the 1970’s, Harris Scarfe’s had a sports Mystery and the Paranormal”. section on level three, and within that section was a department selling guns. In 1975, a man entered the store, went to the gun counter and asked to look at a gun.

He loaded it with his own bullets, then in front of staff and customers, put the barrel against his head, and shot himself dead.

The store was on level three, the same level that the City Library now sits on. Is it a coincidence that a black shadowy figure is sometimes reported whisking along the hallways towards the elevators today, in the general vicinity that a black shadowy figure was seen whisking along aisles when Harris Scarfe’s stood here previously?

Lifts are also said to be haunted in Rundle Place, just as they were reported haunted in the old Harris Scarfe’s building. Are the ghosts that haunted the former building, lingering in the new building?

In an interview in the Advertiser in 2011, former employee of Harris Scarfe’s named Rod stated the following:

Allen is the winner of the 2017 “Emerging South Australian Historian of The Year Award” as presented by The History Council of South Australia.

Allen has also been employed as “Historian in Residence” in 2016/2017 with the Adelaide City Council Libraries and employed by the City of Port Adelaide Enfield Council to write the popular, “Ghosts of the Port SelfGuided Walking Tour” You can find Allen online at: www.twitter.com/Allen_Tiller w w w . f a c e b o o k . c o m / AllenHauntingAustralia https://www.facebook.com/ TheHauntsOfAdelaide

The Original West Enders is all about bringing together local songwriting musicians of Adelaide’s western coastal suburbs, stretching from Seaview in the Southwest to Outer Harbour in the Northwest, to perform live, record and release their original music.

Sponsored by West End Breweries and The Cumberland Hotel, proprietor of the The Cumby Michael Parker is dedicated to raising opportunity for the the regions amazingly talented musicians whom have never been offered to have their original songs recorded and released.

Of the 101 inductees into the SA Music Hall of Fame 61 Inductees have played at the Theatre​; 11 of 12 band Inductees (91%) and 50 individuals (52%) have performed in this iconic venue”, said Enrico ‘Mick’ Morena, Founder of the Adelaide Music Collective (AMC) and Director of the South Australian Music Hall of Fame (SAMHOF).

The SAMHOF is a collective of Adelaide artists/associated professionals with National and International experience in the music industry. The AMC celebrates the careers of successful Music Industry personalities and brings them together, creating relationships with the upcoming youth and future of South Australian Music.

In 1928 the front doors of Thebarton Theatre were opened to the public for the first time.

After saving her from near demolition in 1980, Weslo Holdings Pty Ltd has managed Thebarton Theatre and built her into South Australia’s most iconic and most loved music venue. Plans are well in hand to refurbish this stunning Heritage building to its former glory as well as developing greater patron facilities “We are incredibly proud to have been custodians of Thebarton Theatre for the past 39 years and we look forward to giving the venue an exciting future. The restoration took a huge leap of faith for us and we’re particularly proud to have maintained the heritage aspects of the building,” - Bob Lott (Co-Director).

It’s a family affair of two bloodlines; the Lott and the Robertson families, with all members of the family working at the venue from one time or another.

“Thebby, as she is affectionately known, holds a place deep in the hearts of many and is hailed as a favourite Australian venue to perform in by many artists, and this theatre is in our blood. We’ve seen generations of staff work with us and their loyalty is cherished by us all, we’ve had bands from all over the world and at various levels of their careers play on our stage and it’s exhilarating to be a part of their journey.” - Robbie Robertson (Co-Director).

MEGAreviews The Screaming Jets/Boom Crash Opera @ The Gov 31/08/2018

By Michelle Read Nearing the end of The Rock Radio Tour, Australia’s iconic rock bands The Screaming Jets and Boom Crash Opera, performed at the Gov Friday Aug 31st for the first of 2 sold out shows.

The punters arrived early to take their place up front on the dance floor, alongside the dedicated army of Screaming Jets fans, holding their ground in the shoulder to shoulder crowd.

Right on cue, Boom Crash Opera enter the stage to a packed dance floor, with an excited audience waiting in anticipation for an evening of iconic Aussie Rock Radio Legends.

The newest member of Boom Crash Opera Andrew De Silva, who replaced Dale Ryder in 2016, does not disappoint as he enters the stage with hands in the air, greeted by hundreds of eager fans.

Almost anthem like, De Silva has the punters eating out of his outstretched hands, as he bounces across the stage, singing “ Hands up in the Air”.

This guy totally nails it with his charismatic stage presence and funky moves.

The interaction between De Silva & the animated and very talented lead guitarist Peter ‘Bungie’ Farnan sets the tone.

By the third song De Silva’s high energy vibrant performance had the crowd enthralled, finding their groove amidst the ‘walking music’ instrumental in the lead up to the next song & the next and so on. By now the boys have gotten the punters into an induced trance, all revved up for what’s to come.

De Silva thanks all for coming out into the cold as he takes hold of an acoustic guitar and

44

plays Get Out Of The House as a dedication to us all for leaving the warmth of our own homes and coming out and supporting them.

The lanky lean De Silva with the smooth mellow vocals, skinny trousers, white untucked shirt and dinner like jacket with pushed up sleeves, cradles the guitar.

“It’s great to see everybody, is what I’m trying to say,” De Silva states.

“Love Adelaide”, says De Silva as they lead into Her Charity.

With John Favaro on bass, they play “Better Days”. Then De Silva asks the crowd “Who wants to hear a bass solo?” So he takes the bass guitar and we are all privy to a jam of sorts.

Then the very talented Peter ‘Bungie’ Farnan moves off stage into a waiting crowd and uses a slide on his guitar, totally captivating his audience. De Silva aptly labelling him the Sound Architect. The audience joins in, singing loud and proud, “I will not give in, gone are the days, here we go.”

I was totally impressed by the feel good vibe these guys pumped out. With his energy and charismatic presence the funky De Silva has truly made himself right at home with the Boom Crash Opera boys.

The Screaming Jets take their places, Dave Gleeson literally bounces onto the stage.

Jumping up and down with the energy of a kid on a sugar high, Dave then calls out to the eager fans “Come on”.

“Let me show you how to do it”, as he preens himself, like he’s too hot to touch.

The throng of staunch Screaming Jets’ fans

who have held their ground on the front line are mimicking their idol and jumping up and down with great gusto.

Meanwhile Gleeso makes some impressive moves with his mic stand.

“Welcome to the Gov. Scotty can’t be here, he’s very sick. Instead of calling the show off like Pink,” he jokes, “We could of gone to the beach but we have Athol Maxwell-Davis filling in for us.”

Athol just so happens to be their guitar tech but is also a guitarist. He steps up and handles himself like a seasoned performer.

MEGAscene • Issue 13 - 2018

the boys play a few instrumental pieces, there’s Gleeso acting out some ‘school boy style antics’ behind the Jimi Hocking, the guitarist. Coaching the audience to whistle along to the next song, “those that can’t whistle do the ‘wo oh ohs’”.

A few more attempts at getting the audience to whistle in tune, not completely successful but worth a try.

“Smack In The Mouth” accompanied by some more theatrical, exaggerated antics, followed by another of Gleeso’s stories. This time he relates how they got up nice and early for the Triple M interview with Roo & Ditts.

Gleeso has a little fun with the audience, calling out to the Naughty Adelaideans.

He introduces ‘Paul Woseen the machine’, and relates how he goes to the fridge at Triple M coming back with a Cider, to which Roo announces “it’s a breakfast show ya’ know”.

Paul replies “it’s a breakfast drink”.

The ultimate naughty boy, Dave Gleeson gives the high energy performance of a much younger man.

Gleeso laughs as he says, “Paul don’t know who Ricciuto is, but Roo knows who Paul is!” as he laughs out loud.

As he does a bit of air guitar, head still bouncing while his crazy curls go their own way.

A couple of jokes about ‘The Bachelor’ before Gleeso states quite seriously, “Got hit with bad news this week,” as he fakes tears.

“The Rock Radio Riot Tour. Who listens to the radio? That’s what I want.”

He has the devoted fans singing along “I can’t change a thing”.

And why would you? What a great night.

Their latest album “ Got You Covered” is made up of covers of Aussie bands The Jets have loved growing up.

“Yeah we’ve unconvincingly.

grown

up”,

Dave

says

Dave is quite the comedian, as he plays with words while making a joke or two about ladies of the night.

His facial expressions and body movements are so comical, as he tells a story along with theatrical gesturing and a couple of sexy moves which brings about great applause from the lively crowd.

With Helping Hand up next he promises all the ladies a happy ending, to heartfelt applause.

With all this fun and frivolity on stage, whilst

“I thought at some stage I was gonna be declared the 30th Prime Minister of Australia.”

“Gleeso for PM” brings cheers from all and lots of laughter.

All jokes aside, the evening nears its end with Things Aren’t Always What They Seem. The band stops playing as the crowd sings out loud.

With a quick flick of the mic, Gleeso catches it with a surprised look, his eyes popping in surprise and he leaves the stage.

The untiring fans whistle, the band returns teasing them with a little Cold Chisel.

Knowing the end is near, Dave takes an acoustic guitar playing a naughty limerick, before wrapping up with some folsom prison blues.

Athol gets a thank you hug from Dave. The show comes to an end, and I have just witnessed the energy and magic of a Screaming Jets show.
