Spoon-feeding kiwi audiences this October…

Disney’s Mary Poppins musical is heading to New Zealand in October following the sell-out season in Australia. Worldwide the production has grossed over (US)$679 million and has won 44 industry awards from the Tonys to the Helpmanns. While no dates have been announced just yet, eager punters can sign up to the waiting list for pre-sales at marypoppinsthemusical.co.nz.

General sales open on sale Thursday 21 June, and considering the show played to sell-out audiences in Australia for nine months it’s a fair call that tickets will sell like hot cakes.

Madonna got a boob out. On purpose.

As if naming her album what is basically a misspelling of a drug (controversial puns and provocative wordplay is all the rage), the singer has upset right wing French political leader Marine Le Pen who is threatening to sue Madge over the use swastika imagery imposed on the leaders face. Now the singer has displayed a bad case of the boobs at a concert in Istanbul where she flopped out one of her rather buff nipples.

Lady Gaga’s final Born This Way Ball show at Auckland’s Vector Arena was a headbanger. Literally.

Gaga took a hit to the noggin mid performance during one of the clearly complex ‘Judas’ dance routines, and subsequently suffered from a concussion. “I want to apologize,” Gaga said to the audience. “I did hit my head and I think I may have a concussion but don’t you worry I will finish this show.”

You may have heard the term “IPv6” floating around over the past few weeks.

If you haven’t we’ll give you a brief rundown – it’s basically the new innernets Yep, the innernets has run out. Someone broke it by linking too many pictures of cats to their tweetums and emailing funny videos of people getting hit in the dick to each other.

That’s a slight simplification, but it’s the gist of it. IPv6 is the next generation Internet protocol. The most widely used protocol at present is IPv4 which is 32bit.

IPv6 is 128 bit which allows for a practically unlimited number of IP addresses. Think of every desktop, laptop, mobile phone, iPad, smartphone and all other devices that connect to the Internet. Now realise the fact that the Internet is a limited – it actually doesn’t go on forever and there’s only so much trawling that the computer fairies can carry from Santa’s workshop to your iPhone. IPv4 provided 4.2 billion addresses, and that seemed like a lot when the Internet was created roughly four decades ago and launched about three decades ago. Now, IPv6 provides approximately 340 undecillion addresses. That’s a number that we got from the New Zealand IPv6 task force, and we’re

not sure if it’s a real number or what. But it’s 3.4×10^38, or 360 trillion trillion trillion. That’s heaps.

A gradual adoption of IPv6 over 10 to 15 years is expected, and IPv4 infrastructure will exist beyond that timeframe. Over time new services will be available on IPv6 which will not be available using IPv4. If you’re wondering where IPv5 went, you don’t get to know. It was an experiment and the common folk can’t use it. It’s probably in Area 51.

Vint Cerf, the Chief Internet Evangelist at Google, and a founding father of the Internet summed it all up very well. “There are already 5.5 billion mobiles in the world. If they all had Internet addresses it would exhaust [IPv4, the current Internet system we run on], so 16 years later… we’re compelled to implement a new one so we can continue to grow the network.”

The launch has officially happened and IPv6 is turned on. It will take many years for the transition to happen, but the powers that be are assuring us that we don’t have to worry and we don’t need to do anything to prepare. For more information go to ipv6.org. nz or google.com/intl/en/ipv6.

Girl Tiger and MayaVanya play at Auckland’s Racket Bar for Bitches N Shit. Is that taking back feminism?

Or is it just calling a themed night a name that has the word “bitch” in it? There’s no promise that all of you poonhounds will end up getting laid, so don’t think this is some kind of orgy night. It’s not.

Waots, Fauxhound, $noregazZzm, Glasgow and Old Grey Wolf come together for one night of insane casiotronica or whatever it is that you want to call it. They say “electric tweek wizards show how to really play Nintendo”, which is spot on.

“Hanzel und Gretyl is an Intergalactik Fairytale stompin’ through the Evil Black Forest Galaxy spillin’ beer, destroying sound waves and keeping all things uber!” They also look like two BDSM fans tripping on some kind of candy-flipping ketamine mash-up who are about to strip off and start rodeo-doeing.

Blacklistt San Fran Bath House 8pm, $30, eventfinder.co.nz

Blacklistt have (unsurprisingly) brought in audiences reaching the thousands on their tour so far, and there’s little doubt that the rest of the shows will be just as insane. Blindspott fans have been waiting for a tour like this for years, and audience reaction has proved that Blacklistt are not here to disappoint.

Smokefree Rockquest Jack Mann Auditorium 6.30pm, $20, ticketdirect.co.nz

The Canterbury finals of the 2012 Smokefree Rockquest arrive at the Jack Mann Auditorium on Saturday and will carry through to Sunday.

This very special one-off show sees guitar master Paul Ubana Jones perform everything he’s learned from nearly 40 years of touring internationally, from Nigerian folk to the guitar heroes of the ‘60s, jazz maestros and blues legends.

5pm

It’s the single release show for Ekko Park’s latest release ‘Simpatico’ from the as of yet untitled forthcoming debut album that the four-piece Auckland rock act are putting out.

What else are you going to do on Sunday, drink by yourself? Loser.

On paper, Sigur Rós shouldn’t be globally popular, much less have had a song on the soundtrack of a Tom Cruise movie (Vanilla Sky). For one, they once recorded an album, ( ), consisting entirely of untitled tracks sung in a constructed language called Hopelandic. And their frontman sings in falsetto.

Yet their soundscapes of stubborn, resonant beauty have found a place in the public consciousness, so much so that “Sigur Rós” has become as much a descriptor as the name of a band. Say it. You know what it means: A slow-panning camera over windswept ice. The colour blue. Slow motion flight.

Chimes. Drones. Ambience.

Bows on strings.

Valtari is all these things, a return to a purer Sigur Rós sound after the band’s adventures in uptempo pop on Með Suð í Eyrum Við Spilum Endalaust. This album moves slowly – very slowly – and it is appreciated slowly. Valtari means “steamroller” in Icelandic, and this is music that rolls, not races, to its point. Opening track ‘Ég Anda’ spends a good two minutes steadily turning up the volume on rhythmic breathing, backed by something akin to the string section of an orchestra tuning pre-performance. You expect it all to rise to a melody, but first comes a detour into

dissonant chiming before the singing finally kicks in, only to be subsumed by a heartbeat made from feedback and what sounds like pounding artillery guns.

The unhurried pace makes room for this; textbook Sigur Rós tinged with revelations.

‘Varúð’ soars into a crescendo that is almost punk in its sensibility, then serenely glides in for a landing, spent.

‘Rembihnútur’ treads on the thin ice of Enya territory, as their music sometimes does, but a spot of Reznor-industrial noise arrives just in time and makes it all okay. The standout track on the album, though, may be the simplest. ‘Fjögur Píanó’ is a sparse mingling of piano and violin melodies that not so much ends the album as sets it carefully down. In contrast to the “Sigur Rós-ness” that comes before it, its beauty is not overt.

Despite the occasional surprise, it is to that “Sigur Rósness” that Valtari is loyal. This is their sound, delivered languidly, yes, but utterly recognisable. It is not a manifesto. It changes little. Rather, it serves as a gentle unfurling of what this band does best.

Coicent/Five Numbers A Review by Harlequin Jones Coicent is a short anime film about this boy called Shinichi who is on a school trip to the city, when a crazy white deer grabs his bag and he’s chasing it round and you know, drama. Meanwhile a girl who is some kind of robot or some shit, I dunno, she escapes from the place she is being held, or maybe it’s where she was created. Anyway she escapes and Shinichi meets her while chasing this deer. He helps her avoid these cray cray people who are trying to catch her. Super cute characters especially the deer. Five Numbers is the second part of the DVD and the animation is sort of 3D. These people all wake up in a spaceship prison type thing and can’t figure out how the fuck to get out of it. There’s some old man on board who knows why they are all stuck there, etc etc. It manages to tell a pretty good story for a 25 minute film.

THURSDAY 14 Rock Of Ages

JOEL LITTLE

General Release

There are two ways to take a film like Rock Of Ages.

Is it star-studded Tom Cruise hype that looks like it’s trying to combine This Is Spinal Tap! with some kind of pseudo-drama a la Almost Famous? Or is it something that if you set your preconceived ideas aside it could actually end up being entertaining?

Breaking Bad Four, 10:30pm

Try to talk to someone about Breaking Bad without them chewing your ear off about how amazing it is. Anyone who doesn’t think this show isn’t one of the most entertaining and enthralling dramas ever to grace the box all of your furniture is pointed at is forever alone.

FRIDAY 15 The Breakfast Club Silo Park

Most every time you watch The Breakfast Club you and fellow watchers decide who of your circle of friends is who in The Breakfast Club. Most people want to be the bad kids, but in reality we’re all Anthony Michael Hall. Best John Hughes film next to Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

Street Fighter Four, 8:30pm

Having not seen this film for 13 years or so means it’s pretty hard to really remember. But Jean-Claude Van Damme used to be the king of action, so base your theories of what the film adaptation of the infamous video game is like on your preconceptions of him. On that note, remember the Mario Brothers movie?

SATURDAY 16

What’s the V Motion Project all about?

The V Motion Project is a bunch of really talented people and myself who have teamed up to try and create a piece of music using only the movement of the body.

Did you think it was possible at the start to make music using only motion?

I knew about theremins and that sort of thing, where you can control the one sound using your hands, but I also knew that we wanted to push the boundaries and do things on a much larger scale, so there’s always been that element of “are we actually going to be able to pull this off?”

What are the tactics you are using to make this happen?

Basically we’ve got all these different geniuses involved from various disciplines – technical engineers, motion graphics artists, dancers etc – and we’re combining our powers to build and play this “instrument” of ours, which uses two Xbox Kinects and the Ableton music software to create and manipulate music.

Tell us about how you’ve used the Kinect and Ableton tech in the project.

The tech guys have managed to hack in to both the Kinect software and the Ableton software and combine the two together, so that when you stand in front of the Kinects they pick up your body’s movement and you can control basically anything you want within Ableton. So, for example, you could be using your right hand

Burn After Reading

to mess with a filter while your left hand is triggering samples and your foot is playing a bass line.

What are some of the hiccups you’ve come across so far?

In the beginning there was quite a bit of delay between when you hit a note and when the sound would play, which made it pretty much impossible to perform any sort of track. But the tech guys managed to rewrite some code or do some other clever shit and now it’s fully playable. The next challenge was actually learning how to play the instrument, because just like any other instrument it takes a while to get your head around. So that’s where our dancer Josh Cesan came in. He’s the guy who will actually be controlling it and performing the final track.

When is the team hoping to lock the project down?

All going well, in the next couple of weeks.

What could the future for this kind of technology?

We’ve got it to a point now where it’s pretty versatile and you could use it to play basically any track you wish, if you’ve got enough limbs to pull it off. It’s just a really different way of approaching music and performance. You can get pretty creative and imaginative with it, so as it gets streamlined further things could get pretty exciting. v.co.nz/the-motion-project

Ice Queen WRITTEN BY LAURA WEASER

After years of straining under the weight of HER creativity, Ruby Frost emerges from the cold with an album that ’s a truly personal journey.

It’s been a long time coming – from writing her first book when she was seven years old, to writing music with some of Australia and New Zealand’s best, Jane de Jong, aka Ruby Frost, has finally developed her debut album, Volition.

“I don’t think my music sounds like Elemeno P or Evermore,” Ruby Frost laughs. “But it was interesting working with these different people.

I looked at them as really good creative writing exercises. It really solidified for me the sound that I want to have.”

Her talent for writing in expressive and conceptual ways is the cornerstone of her sound. Beyond her entrancing voice, which caught mainstream attention with her debut single ‘Moonlight’ and her latest single ‘Water to Ice’, Ruby Frost’s music explores the deeply personal using the very unusual.

As she admits she is not one to pour her heart out, Ruby Frost found the process intimidating yet fundamental for the abstract nature of Volition.

Volition is no different. She describes the concept album as a journey through an “awful breakup” – the music was a way to work through the torment she felt.

“I felt my confidence had been rocked,” she explains. “I felt like I had lost my identity. The songs move from being depressed to angry and then the final track – the title track – is one of empowerment, not being defined by what happened. It’s my feisty song,” she says with a laugh.

“I’ve had relationships before, but this hit hard. I had to write it out to draw a line in the sand and move on. I’m not good about talking about my feelings, so I’m lucky to have therapy through music.”

But don’t expect the songs to be exploding with clichés and pop-angst: Ruby Frost describes the songs as “abstract and strange”, using images of magicians and orbs of light.

Each song is in order of her emotions she felt and accompanied by a collection of short stories.

The album itself has been a physical journey for Ruby Frost as well.

Beginning at the start of 2010, she was sent on a bunch of co-writing trips beyond New Zealand through her label to work with everyone from Dann Hume (drummer of Evermore) to Paul Mac (who has produced George Michael’s work) and Justyn Pilbrow from Elemeno P.

“I found myself pushing for more obscure lyrics when I was writing with these artists,” she says. “Maybe because I didn’t want to go into my life story with these strangers. I would write about my emotions in a roundabout way, with a filter or lens over them, and from there I realised I liked the abstract nature. It was a really weird experience,” she laughs.

It’s not just her sound that takes on the abstract. Known for her colourful costumes and wild hair colours, the character of Ruby Frost was an extension of her hiding behind the sound and the words.

“It started from a Katherine Mansfield short story writing competition in high school,” Ruby Frost recalls. “You needed a pseudonym, and my teacher had entered me so quickly I had to come up with one on the spot. Since then I kept using it for creative projects.”

At 25 years old, Ruby Frost has experienced the typical twenties “age crisis”, admitting she is “no spring chicken anymore” with a giggle.

She says the character of Ruby remains, but has now reached a point that she is not afraid to put Jane out there a little more. “[The costumes] are the creative side of my brain. I needed a space to put all of that and I put it all under that name, but I think it’s still just me and I have come to accept that.”

Neil Young

Justin Bieber

For the best part of 50 years, rock maven and musical icon Neil Young has been building one of the most impressive discographies in the history of popular music.

“Bie-lieb” it or not – global teen sensation Justin Bieber is coming back to New Zealand. The ‘Boyfriend’ hit-maker has confirmed his trip later this month via Twitter.

He has released 34 solo albums, been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, and has influenced generation upon generation of younger artists. You can count Pearl Jam, Sonic Youth and Bob Dylan among his dearest fans.

Bieber is due to touch down in New Zealand on July 18 for a promotional visit, and will be here until July 20 – which doesn’t give us enough time to prepare!

Even after so many years, the one thing you can count on is that Neil Young is still a restless artist at heart, moving from one project to the next with the vigour of someone a third his age. In his canon you can find amplified hard rock, acoustic country rock, experimental guitar noise, political diatribe, commanding electro-acoustic performances, and even an album inspired by his customised Lincoln Continental in the form of Fork In The Road.

Obviously it hasn’t all been accolades and spring roses. By the late ‘70s, many had dismissed Young as a relic of the past – only to be proven wrong with the release of Rust Never Sleeps, one of the most critically acclaimed live albums of all time. It has become apparent that you should never count this crazy horse out.

Then there’s his famously gruff sense of humour. Upon the release of Chrome Dreams II in 2007, he nominated the 18-minute-plus epic ‘Ordinary People’ to be the radio single despite protests from the DJs. But behind the curmudgeonly artist, there is the virulent philanthropist. In 1985, Young co-founded the annual Farm Aid benefit concert alongside Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp to help out struggling farmers in America facing foreclosure. The following year he had his part in setting up the Bridge School, an educational organisation for children with severe physical and verbal disabilities.

Young’s latest release, Americana, is an eclectic collection of American folk standards given the fearless treatment we have come to expect.

Even better is the fact that his legendary backing band, Crazy Horse, have come along for the ride for the first time in nine years.

With renditions of ‘Clementine’ – as made famous by the cartoon Huckleberry Hound – and Woody Guthrie’s ‘This Land Is Your Land’, Americana promises to be one of his most controversial and talked about records yet.

It seems that, like rust, mad genius never sleeps.

When he was first here in April 2010, he caused overcrowding, fainting and partial deafness in tweens with just a flick of his boyish locks. So now, 18 years old and back with a smoother, dare I say sexier sound, what should New Zealand expect?

Since he has been away, the singer has had some growing up to do.

He’s had a haircut, got himself a girlfriend (and rumour has it, lost a girlfriend) and has shed his cute pop roots to show us he’s not that little boy anymore. He’s also an incredibly financially stable young man: Forbes named him third most powerful celebrity in the world, worth $55 million(USD). To date he has sold over a million records.

His new album, Believe, is also the biggest shift for the young singer.

The hip-hop lover not only raps on the opening of his debut single, but rap elders including Kanye West and Drake feature on many of the tracks. His debut single was also co-written by Mike Posner, not to mention a sprinkle of Timberland’s magic on the production of the some of the beats and his main man Usher as executive producer.

Touching on his dance-heavy tracks such as his collaboration with Chris Brown for ‘Next To You’ and the more recent collaboration with Far East Movement on ‘Live My Life’, Justin is making a clear statement that he’s not a lovesick teen: he is a man, with wants, needs and a sense of what make good music.

Justin is aware of his “love him, loath him” status, and hopes with his new album, he can finally make his music a universal love for all ages.

“I feel like it’s my responsibility to be the greatest I can be,” he said recently. “If I go out there and start making terrible music, I don’t expect people to like me. If I’m making great music and there’s no reason for people to not like me, that’s when it’s going to make me upset.

“People just need to take a chance and listen. If they don’t want to take a chance, then I don’t know. That’s going to be the biggest problem, to make them feel like it’s cool for them to like my music.”

No doubt sold-out shows will follow him to our shores, as well as a harem of screaming teenage fans.

The DiRT series began with a stunning array of rallying, with a sprinkling of gymkhana and rallycross. Over the years the ratio has been flipped upside down, to this latest version where point-to-point rallying is completely gone. However, it does provide something rather rare on current generation consoles, namely real crash and bash racing. DiRT Showdown is all about the thrills and spills – the bright lights, the demolition derby, the tricks and finesse in gymkhana, and more importantly, the intense competition.

DiRT Showdown transports you into a series of tour events, with a range of challenges to choose from: demolition, gymkhana and racing. What becomes clear the minute you launch into your first event is that DiRT Showdown is not a title that takes itself too seriously… it’s out to have fun.

The game looks and feels great, but there’s nothing very realistic about it. That said, it’s still a pleasure to throw the car into a drift, or into a donut and then exit tidily.

The graphics look great, particularly when there are fireworks and explosions going off around the track. Furthermore the damage model is well implemented, with bits of the car flying off, doors hanging loose and bumpers crumpling. Each part of the car is destructible, and the cars as a whole have a total amount of damage they can take before they reset (a nice nod to the title’s arcade roots).

The multiplayer is a real highlight – mainly because it’s more fun smashing up player controlled cars than it is getting one up on the AI. Online you have access to the same modes as offline, but some extras are thrown in; one real gem is the “capture the flag” type mode. Naturally all hell breaks loose as you try to keep away from other players in an exciting arena.

DiRT Showdown does a great job of bringing an action-packed racing experience to the living room, but it won’t appeal to gamers looking for that rallying sim.

Additionally it isn’t focused on a racing career, such as the previous titles have been.

But if that still sounds appealing, you won’t be disappointed… give it a try.

Sleeve or patches?

Patches? Like eye patches? I’m in. Pirates are mean. I also like sleeveless denim jackets so I’m definitely heading towards patches. If I put sleeves onto a sleeveless denim jacket I wouldn’t like it anymore, but I’m not the antisleeve that’s for sure… sleeve up and get a wooden leg I guess.

What’s your favourite tattoo on you?

I really like the Shhh… on my finger that I got when I was doing a video clip with Jay Z and Kane West.

A tattoo that you’ve done that you’ll always remember is…

We kidnapped a guy after the earthquake on a drunken rampage and did a lightning bolt on his foot. He got a severe case of Stockholm syndrome after this, so we drank more liquor and I then drove him home… through his mum’s rose garden to park up by the front door (don’t drink and drive).

FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS Unless you’ve been holidaying in Uzbekistan, you’ll be aware that this year’s most anticipated national tour has been confirmed.

It’s only New Zealand’s fourth most popular parody folk duo – and they’ve only just about sold out every date in every theatre in the country. There is the slimmest chance that the Foxton Beach RSA may have a few seats, but that’s an unsubstantiated, unqualified rumour that can’t be confirmed or denied.

Following the mega success of their HBO hit TV series, Men In Black star Jemaine Clement (also aka Hiphopopotamus) and former Black Seed, Oscar winner and manMuppet Brett McKenzie (who also checks in as Rhymenoceros) have sold-out tours across the United States and Europe, performing at all the landmark venues like the Hollywood Bowl, New York’s Radio City Music Hall and London’s Wembley Arena.

And, at last, they’ve finally cleared the diary to bring it all home. Shows sold like warm pavlovas – with pre-sales online breaking servers, inducing long queues outside ticket offices, and causing overnight camp-outs.

Extra shows have had to be added for several of the main centres, including the duo’s hometown, Wellington. “It’s going to be great to play New Zealand again. I can’t wait to perform where people can understand our accents,” says McKenzie. “We’re looking forward to our very first New Zealand national tour.”

“This will be by far the most convenient tour we’ve ever done,” adds Clement. He’s looking forward to nipping home to his mums’s to get the washing done between performances. And with US stand-up comedian Arj Barker (Dave, the pawn shop guy from the TV show) joining them as support act, it’s safe to say lucky New Zealand ticketholders have a lot to look forward to.

they’ve appeared in a Simpsons episode, Hollywood movie roles and they’ve met David Bowie (actually that was just a dream!).

Their story is well-known. Like many Kiwi acts, they were originally shunned by the big local corporates. TVNZ turned them down and it was left to American cable network HBO to pick up their concept, which included elements of their highly popular stand-up shows, road-tested at events like the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Since then it’s been Emmy nominations, Brett’s scooped a Grammy,

So finally, for us New Zealanders, the wait is over. This June, it’s finally business time.

The duo started in Wellington playing to small clubs. Having the usual Kiwi low self esteem they booked the Aro St Video Shop for a 15-minute set in 2008 – over a 100 people turned up. After that the venues got bigger as they gathered a full head steam internationally.

A prototype of their HBO was developed for a BBC radio show and also included Rhys Darby as Murray, their good natured but witless manager. It also broke in Neil Finn to the international comedy world, as Murrary’s reluctant business confidante.
