SPIT BUCKET
Rockets EP Hailing from the north side of the harbour city, Rockets are a fresh rock/pop four piece to keep an eye on. Their self titled debut EP was produced by Woody Annison (Children Collide, Red Riders) in a converted church down in Melbourne then launched in Sydney at the Oxford Art Factory in May 2011. The 4 track record references the sounds of early Kings of Leon, Vampire Weekend and The Editors whilst still boasting a unique Sydney sound. Triple J have called it ‘awesome’ & FBi Radio have labelled it ‘anthemic.’ http://rockets.bandcamp

Bob Dylan The book begins in Berkeley in 1968, and ends with a piece on Dylan’s show at the University of Minnesota on election night in 2008. Marcus follows not only recordings but performances, books, movies, and all manner of highways and byways in which Bob Dylan has made himself felt in our culture. Together, the dozens of pieces collected here comprise a portrait of how, throughout his career, Bob Dylan has drawn upon and reinvented the landscape of American song, its myths and choruses, heroes and villains.
