Runner EP launch @ the Bakery, Friday March 16th.

So I did end the night face down in the paisley velour of a cool couch in the band room, listening to the final songs of the final act, thinking about the man I love and not concerned if I fall into a deep sleep and don’t wake up till my kiss comes, but that wasn’t how the night began.

I remember seeing a man I sometimes work with, a young man with blonde hair and an English accent driving up to the Bakery in a car full of friends, looking out the window and saying hello to me, and me keeping my hello till I saw him inside but then not seeing him inside because he’d “gone to see the Novocaines instead”!

All Good in the Wood: Collingwood's Backyard Festival

Sunday the 18th of March was the first “All Good In The Wood” backyard festival, which I have been looking forward to since the idea was conceived by some friends of mine last winter. The premise was (and still is) this: have gigs in 5 different backyards in Collingwood in one day, and have a fucking great time. It was pulled off so perfectly that the day felt like a dream. I was on the verge of joyous tears on at least three separate occasions, brought on by the incredible sense of community I felt, how lovely and supportive and helpful everyone was being to each other, and how fucking hard all the bands played. It was beautiful.

Felicity Groom: on tour

Direct from Kalgoolie!

Home of holes that men dig to create great inconceivable amounts of money and the other kind that men fork out great inconceivable amounts of money for in order to seek frivolous company when not digging holes.

My experience here is very limited. I only arrived about twelve hours ago and most of that has been spent catching up on needed sleep. You see the John Butler touring party experience began rather early yesterday morning from Perth as Kalgoorlie is 596km away… but with a bit of tight scheduling and avoided pee breaks, we clocked in around the 1,800 km mark.

the little stevies

at little creatures loft, fremantle

Thursday, March 29, The Little Stevies will pack out Little Creatures Loft with a little help from local lass Lucy Peach. The Little Stevies are made up of sisters Sibylla and Beth, and their childhood friend Robin.  They descend from a long line of great Australian acts that includes the likes of Frente, The Waifs, and Paul Kelly, whose music retains a sense of fun while maintaining an emotional depth and maturity. With three North American tours, appearances at world-renowned folk festivals, countless national shows under their belt  plus the creation of their own record label “Love Your Records” in just the past two years,  it’s no wonder The Little Stevies have been labelled one of the hardest-working bands in Australia! Their unique blend of emotive and honest songwriting, combined with catchy pop melodies and beautiful three-part harmonies do what so many others strive to; they give their audience licence to really identify with them, and to feel that they're sharing something of themselves. I challenge you to not be glowing after seeing them play. Presales are available thru HERE for $16 & more on the door from 7:30 on the night!

play Mojos

Sunday, April 1st, catch Children Collide at Mojos Bar.

They are working on a new album and are here to launch the single Monument.

Check tune from the album live at Mojos. Johnny an awesome dude in the band says of the forthcoming release:

“We tried to build our own aural theme-park out of twelve different kinds of song. There’s one or two ghost trains, a few rollercoasters and even a couple of tea-cup rides. It’s always hard to describe these things from the inside but the sound and production feels very here and now to me”

Deep Sea Arcade support!

Just give me tickets, man ...

The 39 Steps

at the harbour theatre, fremantle

THE 39 STEPS, adapted by Patrick Barlow from John Buchan’s 1915 novel and Alfred Hitchcock film of the same name, is HARBOUR THEATRE’S first production for 2012. Set in the 1930s, the play calls for the entire Hitchcock film to be performed nearly verbatim onstage - but with a limited cast.

The play follows the misadventures of Richard Hannay (CHRIS THOMAS) who accidentally meets up with foul play and international espionage, accused of a murder that pushes him to find the real killers and save the country. Along the way he has to deal with romantic entanglements, authorities trying to catch him and villains planning to destroy Great Britain.

Aided by JOANNA ZUKOWSKI, MICHAEL DORNAN, CHRISTOPHER KENWORTHY, SARAH COSSTICK and MELISSA KLIMISCH, who play every other character - iincluding heroes, villains, men, women, children and even the occasional inanimate object - the play challenges them with lightning-fast changes and the physical demands of mime and choreography required to play multiple characters.

This hilarious take on the original novel is directed by TREVOR DHU who previously directed and choreographed West Side Story at the Mandurah Performing Arts Centre.

THE 39 STEPS plays at 8pm March 21, 23 and 24 with 2pm matinees March and 18. Tickets are $24.50, $22.50 concession and $19.50 student concession - book on 9484 1133 or HERE!
