Public Enemy are one of the most influential and widely respected hip hop acts. Your favourite rapper IS a fan. Since Terminator X stepped away from the turntables to take up ostrich farming (I‘m not even joking about that), DJ Lord has been holdin’ it down for Chuck and Flav on the platters that matter. But DJ Lord is by no means one dimensional, he’s just as comfortable rocking a club or party set or holding down a Techno room as he is on stage with the S1W’s and their martial arts manoeuvres. The U.S. battle veteran will be hitting Hobart for his first headline set, playing the Republic Bar on Friday March 15. JAMMING WITH THE LIEUTENANT
JANUARY FEBRUARY So the band called Passenger broke up in 2007, but the lead dude, Mike Rosenberg is still running with the name. He’s run with it quite a long way too, having toured the world twice in the past year. His constant touring through North America and Europe lead to a swag (ugh) of accolades, including UK iTunes giving him the gong for ‘Singer Songwriter Album of the Year’. Finally back in Australia, Mike is heading out to play a run of gigs at theatres around the country (Are theatre gigs a new fad? Or have I only just noticed that they happen, a LOT?). We have some theatres in Tasmania, so Passenger will be passengering his way here to play in one of them. Sunday March 24 at the Playhouse Theatre in Hobart. Tickets via Centretainment. Or you could just watch him busking, because he does that too. SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY

Original Hobart boy, Joel Brokate is returning with his Melbourne based band Lieutenant Jam for their first Tasmanian show at the Brisbane Hotel on March 22. From the band, “Lieutenant Jam is not a man. Nor did he/she serve in the army. Lieutenant Jam is a mix of clever lyrics and classic indie rock; with a UK edge to it. We like to mix all of our influences ending up with indie songs, chilled out, blues songs, punk songs and ‘somewhere in between’ songs.” Check out a copy of their debut album When I Say Jump, if you are interested in knowing more.
