a quickie with

RÜFÜS

• Henry Cornwell

Between a killer set with Van She at the Art and About opening night and their upcoming gig with Tonite Only and Naysayer (plus heaps of others) at Oktoberfest this Thursday, Blitz caught up with the UNSW Law Faculty’s prodigal son, James Hunt, drummer for indie electric trio, RÜFÜS. Tours, writing your debut album and releasing three EPs in 12 months must be a world away from life at law school. Has it taken much adjustment?

Yeah, it’s a huge change! It’s been an interesting process getting used to the lifestyle, but I have so much passion for what I’m doing that it hasn’t been hard to adapt. But it’s a world away, completely.

Do you ever think of going back to uni?

At this point I really want to pursue music; I’m very passionate and I’m trying to be realistic, but at the moment there’s no turning back.

So how did you decide to call it quits at uni in the first place?

Well, I only needed a year off. I was planning on travelling for that year, but then I got recruited into this little musical project that was going on with a dude I went to school with (now our singer, Tyrone Lindqvist). Things started going well and it just happened for itself, which I hadn’t planned for at all. It’s been pretty amazing.

For those two years at uni, did you feel there was an energy you needed to get expressed or did you feel that law was your future?

I didn’t have any passion at all for what I was doing at uni, I was just going through the motions and I didn’t really know what I wanted to do. I loved music but I didn’t know how I was going to pursue it, so I’m very lucky that it’s happened.

OPENING JANUARY

2013

And I guess that would have had something to do with your decision to take time off in the first place?

Yeah, definitely. I needed time to evaluate where I was at and to get some perspective on things. That’s definitely happened, but it hasn’t happened the way I had planned.

Do you feel like it was always going to wind up like this somehow?

I always thought I’d be doing something like this but I’m very disorganised so I never had an idea of how I’d go about it strategically. I’m just really lucky that this opportunity opened up, so now I’m trying to make the most of it.

When you’re putting together a song, what are you hoping the listener’s going to take from it?

We’re really hoping we can communicate the same feeling we feel when we’re writing a track. It’s ultimately out of our hands but we want to communicate that feeling and that mood.

And how do you want people to feel after your set at Oktoberfest this Thursday?

We want them to have had the best time of their lives and for their minds to be blown.

Prepare to have your mind blown if you’re lucky enough to catch RÜFÜS performing with Tonite Only, What So not, Naysayer, Tenzin, Northeast Party House and heaps more awesome acts at Thursday’s Oktoberfest bonanza.

The expectations a first year has for Oktoberfest are always high as they’re based on stories and legends passed on from veteran Oktoberfesters. Their outfits are generally the best, but their inexperience can often lead to pre partying too hard, losing their friends, or forgetting where they put their ticket. Look out for your Rookie friends, their excitement often leads to spontaneous shouting of rounds, and their innocence can be hilarious.

Tip for Rookies: Surround yourself with at least one veteran, their experience will be your guiding hand.

Coming to uni on the day of Oktoberfest, 'The Oblivious' is given a ticket from a friend.

Completely unaware of what Oktoberfest is, or how many students lined up at the crack of dawn in Week 8 only to still miss out, this lucky bastard attends not knowing that others are outside willing to give an arm or leg to be in their position. In their last ditch efforts they create a costume that makes absolutely no sense.

'The Non-Student' hears tales of UNSW’s Oktoberfest extravaganza and isn’t put off by the rising prices of eBay scalpers. Often an ex student, or maybe even a sub tutor, 'The Non-Student' isn’t intimidated by Veterans and often establishes themselves on the dance floor.

Rocking up with all the selfconfidence and excitement in the world, the word shame has been left at work.

Tip for The Oblivious: After a while, at least try to act like you know what’s going on, otherwise it’s embarrassing.

Tip for the Non-Student: Don’t let proud Rookies calling out, “You don’t even go here!” spoil your fun.

'The Veteran' has likely attended more Oktoberfests than lectures.

This student lives for the party side of uni and knows exactly how to make the most of it. Planning the day isn’t needed, meeting points aren’t prepared and getting in costume is as simple as revealing what they’ve been wearing underneath their casual clothes all year round. 'The Veteran' is able to get to the front of each stage and can make their way to the bar hastily, despite the length of the lines breaking World Records each year.

After waking up at 6am to acquire a ticket, managing to talk their way out of work Thursday night, and planning their day weeks in advance, the stage is set for what will be the highlight of the year. All of a sudden, this student’s lecturer shatters everything with three words, “test, Friday, 9am,” and just like that everything changes. The ‘I have a test at 9am Friday’ student trades in his beer for water and tries valiantly to party with friends and forget the fact they’ll be dying in a lecture hall within hours .

Tip for Veterans: Use the skills you have acquired over the years and preach to others, it was your first Oktoberfest once, too.

Tip for the ‘9 am exam fail’ student: Study hard during the day, and of course during the week and remember, P’s get degrees.

Oktoberfest has been circled on the calendar since Week 1 Semester 1 for this student.

However, not being able to hold out until the Roundhouse doors officially open, The ‘I Love Pre Drinks’ student hits The Doncaster and The Rege before midday and the signs are clear that their Oktoberfest is going to be cut short. Managing to stumble to the Roundie doors, security laughs at their attempts of the ‘sober face’ and with the shake of their head come The ‘I Love Pre Drinks’ student’s tears of regret.

Tip for the ‘I Love Pre Drinks’ student: Take it easy!

Spotted yourself? Test whether the stereotype comes to fruition this year, or create a new legend!

Oktoberfest only comes round once a year, so make this beautiful celebration one to remember. Word from the champs at the Roundhouse is to get in there early to mark your territory, but try not to hit the sauce too hard too soon or you’ll regret it. Auf Wiedersehen!

WHAT’S ON UNSW

8th OCt - 14th oct UNIBAR SPECIAL

This week we’re battening down the hatches for the biggest party of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere. With lederhosen, sausage, pretzels and delicious beer abounding, there’ll be no mistaking the arrival of Oktoberfest at the Roundhouse.

Our boy Jake hitting the ARIA red carpet and hitting on Delta Goodrem.

EA

Known as “die Wiesn” to its traditional celebrators (who enjoy it by drinking only beer brewed within the city limits of Munich), UNSW’s been changing the rules of Oktoberfest since 1983. Down here we do it with Toohey’s New and just about any name we please, though points for irony, if not originality, go to those who call it ‘Actsoberfest’.

Check this sh*t out. In 2012 your bodacious Blitz team have been sent to festivals, film premiers, fancy dress parties and even got funky with S Club as part of the job - ridonk right? We’ve rubbed shoulders with the likes of The Hunger Games’ Josh Hutcherson, Hilltop Hoods and even the Bondi Hipsters.

This year we’re aiming for an early start. The first 400 people through the gates will be rewarded with exclusive VIP access to their own private bar, separate toilets and stacks of other goodies. We suggest you get there early. Nobody likes a queue, and as the Roundhouse’s largest annual convergence of masses, you can safely guess they might get huge.

Those who last the distance will be rewarded for their stamina with sets

by Naysayer and the Sosueme DJs to close the night. And if you’re still at it after that, you can always cruise along to the Rege, UNSW’s college away from college.

We’ll be running around with a camera capturing some pure Kodak moments so keep a look out for your favourite Blitz staffers.

AROUND TOWN: WHAT’S ON SYDNEY

THIS IS WHERE THE PARTY’S AT • Jacob Burkett + The Blitz Team

CHEAP A$$ SYDNEY A TASTE OF THE ORIENT

DINOSAURS IN THE WILD Sick of the same old same old koalas and kangaroos?

To quote Inception, “Don’t be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.”

Ever heard a European backpacker complain about how many dangerous species there are in Australia? They’re not completely paranoid; Australia is full of venomous animals and insects ready to destroy you. Thankfully a heap of them have been rounded up and live in happy supervision over at Taronga Zoo. This year our friends over at Taronga have taken danger to the next level, organising for dinosaurs to visit the zoo during the summer break. Don’t ask us for the science, we still don’t get what happened with the frogs in Jurassic Park. All we know is that somehow these guys have a Brachiosaurus, a Muttaburrasaurus, an Allosaurus,

a Triceratops, a Dilophosaurus, a Compsognathus and the king himself, a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Come along and check out 16 lifesize and life-like robotic dinosaurs roaring away, and learn about how we can use their story to prevent the extinction of the Tasmanian Devil and the Sumatran Tiger - and hopefully these gigantic guests don’t scare the animals in neighbouring pens to early extinction!

For our gentler readers, don’t worry, Taronga still has the super cute animals like meerkats and baby koalas, so head over after exams and pretend your Harry Potter in the snake pen, or watch the hilarious seal show.

International Night Noodle Markets Oct 8-12, 5-10.30pm @ Hyde Park North

WHEN:

A lot of Blitzers would say that Christmas and Oktoberfest are the events they most look forward to each year. Screw that, it’s all about the Noodle Markets! Spending the night stargazing and noddle guzzling is the only thing that gets us through the other 361 days of the year.

WHERE:

Taronga Zoo COST:

$31.50 students/ $44 adults - or free if you enter our comp!

Who would you say your influences are?

We founded ourselves in the warmth of Homework era Daft Punk, but now live amongst the collision of acts like Skrillex.

Any big plans for the future?

We don't plan for the future, we live the future.

And how'd the group come together?

Oddly enough, we met in a bar and realised that we had a mutual love for ladies, drinking and dance music. We thought we should make some music and share that love with the world.

And finally, if you were at UNSW, what would you be studying?

We’d be studying medicine. This would help us deal with all the sick units we meet at gigs!

What are your expectations for Oktoberfest?

Lots of responsible drinking!

First up, where does the name Tonite Only come from?

Too many one night stands!

So what have you got planned for your live set on Thursday?

We’ll play about 100 different records melded into a fun amorphous electronic nightmare. We’ve developed a fully synchronised light and visuals show and will try to make it work at Oktoberfest.

Come along for either the most exciting or most terrifying experience of your life.

Ministry of Sound heroes and the stars of Oktoberfest, Sam Littlemore and Simon Lewicki from Sydney electro band Tonite Only took some to tell us why the ‘Haters Gonna Hate’ and what their expectations are for Thursday’s Oktoberfest festivities.

Obviously we’re deliriously hungry as we write this!

Come along to the first ever Sydney Jewish Food Festival for a full day celebrating Jewish life in Sydney and Jewish culinary traditions from all over the world.

GUTEN TAG, OKTOBERFEST! Oktoberfest is an exciting time all over the world. Did you know that in Munich, over the entire 16-day festival, no person can ever be considered legally drunk no matter how much alcohol they have consumed? There’s also a minimum alcohol requirement for any beer being sold (at least 6%!), which may explain why so many people end up being “Bierleichen” (literally “beer corpses”) over the festival.

Munich keeps up the good times even outside of Oktoberfest - by law a pub there can never be overcrowded, there’s always room for one more drinker at the table! This freedom is somewhat balanced out however, by the fact that calling an official ‘Hitler’ can net you a whopping 5,000 Euro fine.

Closer to home, UNSW’s Oktoberfest is a little bit different. The Roundhouse has to obey RSA and kick out any beer corpses, as well as refusing entry to intoxicated people. With all the drama surrounding the Oktoberfest tickets it’d be a shame to waste yours, so pace yourself!

Finally, for those who go too hard, too fast or those who didn’t get a ticket but decide they want to attend the festivities anyway, listen to staff at the event.

Refusing to leave a licensed venue when requested can earn you a $550 on-thespot fine, and up to $5500 in court. Refusing to leave the vicinity (50m around the venue) can earn you a further $550 fine as well.

See you on Thursday!

COLLEGE TIAL

N E D I F N CO I E D E R SE H EN !

A UF W

Another year is coming to an end, and I’m still no closer to graduating. But considering that writing for Blitz was the closest I got to doing anything even vaguely academic this year, it’s not much of a surprise. And who would want to leave this glorious institution? It has everything you could ever need: $2.50 beers, cocktails served in punch bowls, sweet, sweet UniBar parties, and did I mention the $2.50 beers? As this is the last time you have to read my sarcastic banter, I thought I’d end with some advice that money can’t buy* on how to best enjoy Oktoberfest, which is clearly the highlight of the academic year.

Get there early. It’s just a numbers game, the longer you’re at the party, the more beer you’ll drink, the more people you’ll meet, and the more fun you’ll have.

Girls, channel your inner beer maid. Guys, rock the lederhosen, because when else are you ever going to pick up wearing shorts and suspenders? And remember, always accessorise - preferably with a beer in each hand.

For added appeal, pretend to be a German exchange student and talk about the real Oktoberfest “back home”. Now German isn’t a particularly sexy language, but learn a few key phrases like “Willst du auch ein bier?” and you’ll be good to go. For added authenticity, adopt a German name for the night, like Wolfgang or Helga. If people ask too many questions about your alter ego, be vague - there’s nothing hotter than a mysterious exchange student!

School's Out Forever • Jacob Burkett + The Blitz Team

The time has come. You’ve lost count of the amount of sleepless nights you’ve had, you’ve winged a bunch of presentations, and you still don’t understand how you got D’s for some of those papers you did the day they were due – and for what? A scroll saying ‘degree’ and your name, proud tears from mum and pointy hats, of course! Come prepared, this is your final test before you can claim your degree.

The Suit Up Op

The Handshake

When doing that dreaded walk from Lower to Upper Campus, I’m sure on numerous occasions you’ve seen grads posing for pics next to that random ball or on the Quad lawn. It doesn’t take a degree in Design to know who they are, as you can spot their silky black robes glistening in the sun from a mile away. Take the opportunity to wear one of those bad boys with both hands, but be careful what you wear underneath. For ladies, don’t dress to hoochie - you’re not strutting your stuff in the clubs, and who are you trying to seduce anyway, the Vice Chancellor? For the boys, groom that facial hair buddy; you’ve become a real man today.

The maxim that you can learn a lot from someone’s handshake surely has never been more appropriate than when getting on stage to receive your degree.

In the heat of the moment a lot of grads fumble between hat tipping, degree accepting, bowing and the almighty handshake.

The Special Guest

The Hat Throw

At every graduation there’s bound to be a guest speaker who has excelled in their respective studies at some point. Take their wise words in graduates; free advice never hurt anyone. But when they say “you’re the best-looking bunch of graduates I’ve ever seen”, don’t let it get to your head.

When you do throw your hat in the air, you’re not only throwing a stylish headpiece, you’re throwing away all the frustrations, readings, exams and assignments that came with your studies.

Plus, with all the excitement and or terror of the day, you probably won't remember a word this joker says.

Let the Chancellor know that you just beat his university and you’re now on you’re now way to bigger and better things by giving him the firmest of firm handshakes.

Before the ceremony they’ll try to tell you it’s a no go, but meh - you don’t even go here anymore! If it looks like it isn’t going to happen, be sure to take charge and do what you know everybody wants to.

*If you would like to pay me for my advice, please do. I’m now unemployed and need money to buy beer.

Wuthering Heights

Resident Evil: Retribution

pitchfork.com

Directed by: Paul W.S. Anderson

Directed by: Andrea Arnold

Established in 1995 as Turntable Media, this website is the pioneer music blog.

When founder Ryan Schreiber finished high school in 1994 he saw a need for an online resource for independent music. Starting with monthly updates of interviews and reviews, it had changed its name to Pitchfork and was publishing daily reviews within a year. 18 years on, Pitchfork remains a premier source of online reviews, and is still widely respected as a chief authority on contemporary alternative music.

Confession: I have seen all of the Resident Evil movies. There’s no shame in it, love me some zombies and some Milla Jovovich. And despite the fact that apparently only her husband (Anderson) will hire her to act, Jovovich can definitely carry a movie.

Located in the harsh and isolated Yorkshire moors of Northern England, Andrea Arnold's adaptation of Emily Brontë’s 19th Century novel is powerful and unsettling.

The moral of the story? Never rest on your laurels.

Continuing directly after the boat attack at the end of Afterlife, Alice has been captured by Umbrella and is being tortured by Jill Valentine in an underwater facility in Russia. When a rescue team are sent in to save her, Alice discovers more secrets about the original testing and spread of the virus.

Part five of the zombie series follows more of a RPG model than previous instalments of the franchise, and there are gamer shout outs through the inclusion of game favourites Ada and Leon.

The plot and dialogue are pretty weak, but the stunts were fantastic as usual.

The film also sets up for US! and BITaEsixth S! movie, UEvil E IT final Resident which will B !

E US BITprobably be equally mediocre.

The film focuses on the relationship between Cathy Earnshaw and her father’s adopted orphan, Heathcliff, as a passion develops that follows them through to adulthood and the challenges of social divide and affliction are only enhanced.

With minimal dialogue and a soundtrack that mainly consists of howling wind and the spat of rain thrashing against the handheld camera, this Gothic tale is neither heartwarming nor uplifting. Instead, constant violent brutality towards humans and animals alike is paired with dark, shadowed frames to leave you with a depressed acceptance that things are not going to turn out well.

Ever worried that you are too critical and come across as a bitch/dickhead? Then we want you!

Wuthering Heights

Pitchfork

Sadly, since then, as with many small things that grow, it’s become way too self-aware and comfortable in its throne. Pitchfork no longer specialises in unearthing new artists (look to Gorilla vs Bear or iguessimfloating for that), but fills its content with mediocre reviews of Bob Dylan and the XX, as well as painfully dull dissections of the private lives of respected weirdoes like Ariel Pink.

• SPORT

Thousands of university students were more thankful than ever for last weekend’s Labour Day Public Holiday, which gave them time to recover from one of the most hectic weeks of their lives. If you have been lucky enough to experience an Australian University Games you would understand, if not, let me fill you in.

This year’s AUGs were in Adelaide, and the City of Churches provided sunny days and testing nights that were so cold there was great debate whether to go all out in their skimpy themed costumes.

No one really knew what to expect from the Radelaide nightlife, but after the Opening Ceremony on Sunday night it was clear there was only really one place to be. Adelaide’s take on Kings Cross, Red Square, had the lights and lines of the Sydney party district, but was less chaotic and you weren’t afraid to talk to bouncers and persuade them into letting you in. The Wool Shed turned out to be a favourite with its six levels and even an electric bull!

As for the sport, UNSW finished eighth overall, with the Swimming Team displaying the most outstanding results finishing first by almost 50 points. The Men’s Football Team finished fifth, but the real victory was defeating the favoured Sydney University team, a loss which also saw them relegated to Division 2 for next year on the Gold Coast.

The overall census is that AUG’s are the best week of your university life, so I’d encourage all students to get involved in 2013.

Q&A

WITH MARTORANA

Where does ‘Endless Heights’ come from?

We used to play much heavier stuff under the name, ‘Your Ghost is a Gift’ but we changed our sound up dramatically, so we needed a new name to start afresh with. ‘Endless Heights’ was actually going to be the name of a song, and then it clicked that it was what we should call ourselves.

How did you guys meet?

Most of us played in bands at school. We’d play at youth centres and band comps, and the drummer of one of the other bands was someone we were all in awe of. Eventually we asked him to fill in for us, not thinking he’d really want a part of it, and he said, “I’m staying.”

What’s the best thing about being in a young band?

Luckily for us, we’re all best friends. We’re finally getting enough money from our work to travel around in a van and experience Australia as a band, and to share that experience with the people close to you is incredible!

How do you want people to feel walking out of a gig?

For the music we play and the atmosphere we try to create, we want it to be a boisterous, fun, energised set that people can take as their own and get amongst. Our songs can be quite emotional, but at the end of the day we just want to see people smiling. In our scene, it’s rare to find the type of positivity we evoke.

Want to get your band featured in Blitz? Shoot us an email at blitz@arc.unsw. edu.au with ‘Student Sounds’ as the subject and we’ll be in touch.

For more info contact Eric Souksai at e.souksai@arc.unsw. edu.au or send your application to jobs@arc.unsw.edu.au by October 29.

Tell us what you do for us students?

As the Membership Relations Officer (MRO) I coordinate the Arc Street Team, a group of energetic volunteer students who give up their time to create weekly events on campus. We’ve done everything from International Pirate Day to pancakes to tea-cup rides! We remind everyone that while we’re here to study, it doesn’t hurt to let our hair down and chill out with some free goodies from Arc. What’s the best part of the job?

All the amazing people at Arc, and the Street Team itself! It’s also been great to get an insight into the inner workings of Arc, and feel like you’re contributing to something bigger. Not many unis have a central hub of student life like Arc and the Roundhouse - I love being a part of it and making people happy.

If you’re enjoying the position so much, why are you leaving?

I figure if you’re going to be a doctor then at some point you need to, well, learn how to be a doctor. And after visiting all the places I can go next year for placement I’ve put Port Macquarie as my first preference. They have an amazing clinical school out there and incredible beaches.

Any pro tips for MRO applicants?

The main thing is just to be someone who enjoys having fun. If you’re having fun, everyone else will be enjoying themselves, and that’s really the aim of what we’re trying to do.

Secular Society Vice President (Arts)

If you’ve loved being part of an Arc club or society this year come share your favourite experiences at the Arc Clubs and Societies AGM and Party next Thursday Oct 18 at 4.30pm.

What made you want to found the Secular Society?

When I first started at uni last semester there was absolutely no presence of any kind of Secular Society on campus, so I got in contact with a few people and we found the impetus to establish one.

And what happened to the Atheist Society?

I have no idea, but the shadow of that society was something that we didn’t want to live under!

So where do you see the Secular Society being by the end of your degree?

Four years from now I’d like to see membership at around 400 people, with weekly meetings and speakers from off-campus. We would also like lecturers and staff members to get involved too, and most of all we want a society structure in which the executive doesn’t lord over everybody else.
