NEWS IN PROGRESS

The University of Auckland are driving their contractors to have the Maidment Theatre repaired by the end of June. The timely completion of repairs will allow the season of The Heretic and The Lion Foundation season of Lord of the Flies to go ahead as scheduled. The repairs follow a large fire in early April of this year when a stage curtain caught on fire and spread throughout the theatre.

THE STREAM IS FLOWING

This week Spotify, the music streaming service, celebrates one year in New Zealand. Launched exactly one year ago on Wednesday, Kiwis have already streamed over 10 million hours of music and have created over 3.4 million playlists using the service. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis were the Most Streamed Artist over the last year. Coming in second as most popular artist was Rihanna, followed by Ed Sheeran, Maroon 5, Lana Del Rey, One Direction, P!nk, Bruno Mars, Mumford & Sons, and Calvin Harris.

NO GOLD HERE

Four years ago Coromandel Gold was established and has become a regular in the New Year’s festival line-up but has decided to forgo 2014 and return in 2015. They issued this statement: “This year we have made the decision to give everyone involved the year off, with a view to returning bigger, better (and yes, possibly stronger and faster too) next year. It’s time to re-imagine, re-wire and re-tune, but rest assured we will be back in 2015 as only we can.”

gig OF THE WEEK

CHURCHHILLS TAVERN

8PM, $95, TICKETEK.CO.NZ

9PM, $15, UNDERTHERADAR.CO.NZ

Don’t expect these guys to f*** or rock you gently – the quirky, out-spoken, larger-than-life duo are rocking our Kiwi stages until they break. They’re getting a bit older, making them perhaps a bit wiser, but certainly with the same gusto for rock ‘n’ roll they have always had. A concert not to miss.

Wellington heavy metal band Beastwars is making real tracks since they exploded onto the scene with their self-titled debut album. They’ve just released their second album Blood Becomes Fire and it’s already receiving critical acclaim internationally, being called “the metal album of the year”. It’s a big call, but to get on the hype, head to their gig and find out what they’re about.

TOMMY ILL BEFORE THE DESTRUCTION

PUPPIES

ZEAL ART ROOM 8PM, $10, UNDERTHERADAR.CO.NZ

The capital loves New Zealand music and Puppies has been home to some killer live acts. Tommy Ill, a Wellington rapper, is stopping by on his third album release tour and there’s no doubt he’ll win the crowd.

He’s owned it at sold-out venues across the country and internationally too. Identifying with indie/ electronic acts beyond the rapping genre, he’s a unique act.

7PM, $30, UNDERTHERADAR.CO.NZ

The Before the Destruction tour is bringing a little taste of what’s in store from ODR’s Devastator minifest. New York rockers Stray From The Path bring their angst to our shores for the first time, while Melbourne’s Storm the Sky are making the leap across the ditch. Rounding out the trio is Sydney’s Stories, with their signature sound like thunder rolling in.

NATHAN HAINES

SONGWRITER SHOWCASE

VICTORIA THEATRE

TABAC 8PM, $42.50, THEVIC.CO.NZ 7.30PM, $5-10, UNDERTHERADAR.CO.NZ

International jazz icon and saxophonist/vocalist Nathan Haines presents his new album Vermillion Skies live in the intimate seated Victoria Theatre.

Following on from the RIANZ Tui Jazz Album of the Year The Poet`s Embrace, Nathan’s follow-up release builds on the beautiful analoge sound pioneered on this now classic album, but with the addition of his own signature vocals this time.

New Zealand has talent. We know this, we have seen it.

But not all of it has been splashed across our screens in an overrated fashion. This performance highlights some of The University of Auckland finest songwriting talent including Joshua Pritchard, Sam Allen, Viólette, Lilo Peaks, Antoinette and Jasmine Balmer.

HOLLIE SMITH

PAPER CRANES & GREAT NORTH

THE TASTING SHED

BACKBEAT BAR

8PM, $10, DOOR SALES ONLY

7.30PM, $45-70, EVENTFINDER.CO.NZ

Paper Cranes have been in studio recording some new tracks and writing new ones while the muse is still alive. Great North have been playing around the country in April and May so they’ll be tour-fresh.

Gorgeous alt-country/folk, Joseph & Maia have also been recording and touring and have just released their debut EP Roll Up Your Sleeves.

She recently made an appearance on The X Factor NZ and proved she knows a thing or two about what sounds good (in her opinion). But the fact remains the sultry soulstress has a voice like honey and she’s not afraid to use it. The intimate live show will get you up close and personal to Hollie.

THE PINK FLOYD EXPERIENCE TSB BANK ARENA

8PM, $93, TICKETEK.CO.NZ

As March marks the 40th anniversary of Pink Floyd’s masterpiece Dark Side of the Moon, the Pink Floyd Experience decided to pays homage to the band’s great work. The Experience reproduces the intricate detail, all those classic Floyd sounds, from guitar solos to the organ sounds and the astonishing vocals.

JULIA DEANS THE VIC CINEMA CAFÉ

8PM, $25, THEVIC.CO.NZ

Once the front woman of Fur Patrol, now Julia Deans is out on her own and doing better than ever. Leading an intimate solo performance as part of the Support the Vic series, her honey-toned vocals will warm your heart on these cold winter nights. It’s been a busy year for the musician and she’s thrilled to be coming to town.

SUN 26 MAY NADIA REED & LUCKLESS GOLDEN DAWN

5PM

Nadia Reid is one of the great, young musical prodigies at work in the country. She presents tales of love and loss through a new-folk glass, echoing songwriters such as Beth Orton or Laura Marling and musical nomad Ivy Rossiter or Luckless’ electrified take on the craft of songwriting has melted hearts across the country.

French electro-royalty, Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, make a dramatic return with this moreish slice of dance-muzak pie.

The pair have been missing in action for a couple of years, but during that time their engine has been rebuilt: bigger, stronger, and with a brandspanking new sound to boot.

It’s Daft Punks fourth studio LP (If you don’t count the Tron: Legacy soundtrack) and along with those otherworldly, robotic elements that have become a big part of their modus operandi, there’s a new-found human heart to fit into the bands most recent, cybernetic musical creation.

Even more than that, Thomas and Guy-Manuel have found a soul to their sound that may just put them at the top of the electronic-food chain, much like Homework did back in 1997.

Although they’re still prone to dressing-up like bohemian Robocop’s, the group are more in touch with the beating human heart beneath their costumes, and as a result, their music has embraced the past to become, somehow, more current.

Random Access Memories flips a salute to the likes of Chromeo, as it plays up the disco-funk-electronic vibe with beaucoup vocoders strewn amongst keys, electric guitar and some nifty, slick-but-slow beats.

There’s the obligatory range of guest vocalists featured - such as Pharrell Williams, Animal Collective’s Panda

Bear and Strokes frontman, Julian Casablancas.

Pharrell sex’s up the place on his two tracks - ‘Lose Yourself To Dance’ and ‘Get Lucky,’ while Casablancas is DaftPunk’d on the vocoder-melancholy of ‘Instant Crush.’ The New Yorker makes the most of his cameo, wrenching the last drops of rock-angst out of his voice, before its sieved through D. Punks tech.

Panda Bear’s ‘Doing It Right’ is even more man-vs-machine, with his repeated lyrics matched by a robotic counterpoint, creating a hooky song that sounds something like a selfhelp mantra delivered by Bear and Professor Stephen Hawking.

The problem with utilizing such gimmicks is that you forever dice with crossing the line into cheese territory. Daft Punk totally disregards this, dancing back and forth between both sides with the music, thankfully, not suffering for it (Although, on some tracks they get mighty close).

Perhaps the highlight to this album is how beautifully produced it is sounding crisp and clear, matching the content to the point of perfection.

Random Access Memories is symbiotic, nostalgic, current, and progressive all at the same time. Now that’s one neat trick.

FILM OF THE WEEK

THU 23 MAY THE HANGOVER PART III GENERAL RELEASE

KON-TIKI directed by JOACHIM RØNNING, ESPEN SANDBERG Starring PÅL SVERRE HAGEN, ANDERS BAASMO CHRISTIANSEN, GUSTAF SKARSGÅRD

First they left their buddy on a roof, then they went out-of-control, full-blown crazy in Thailand. Now, it’s third time’s the charm (maybe) for Stu, Alan, Phil and Doug – there’s no bachelor party, no wedding, but all bets are off as they go back to where it all began.

What’s gonna happen? It’s a closely guarded secret.

THE FALL GUYS GENERAL RELEASE

Independent Kiwi comedy that follows three criminally clueless college buddies who come into possession of three cases of premium grade heroin.

When put under the heat of police interrogations, each lad gives their own side of the story. Directed by Scott Boswell, this Kiwi caper is packing some serious heat and is worth a view.

SAT 25 MAY WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN RIALTO CHANNEL, 8.30PM

Dramatic, heart-wrenching and terrifying, Kevin is every mother’s worst nightmare. Switching backwards and forwards between a terrible, at first glance unknown incident, Eva tries to come to terms with what went wrong with her son and if his troubled personality is her fault. Tilda Swinton delivers an outstanding performance as does Ezra Miller in one of his darker roles.

REAL QUEER FILM FESTIVAL RIALTO CINEMAS, NEWMARKET

Despite a slightly fractured narrative, Norway’s most expensive cinematic undertaking ever is very much a film of two halves (even the soundtrack changes from piano schmaltz to naturalistic, near silence) with the first part involving Thor Heyerdahl (Hagen) attempting to get to his journey’s start line, and the second out on the open ocean.

It’s there where, naturally enough, comparisons will be made with Ang Lee’s Life of Pi. And, amazingly for a film that cost a fraction of Pi’s budget and eschewed using a tank, it stacks up pretty well visually, with off-centre angles and on-the-surface shots really giving the audience a sense of what little stood between the adventurers and the briny blue.

Kon-Tiki apart in these scenes is a nice line in gallows humour as our weary explorers’ beards get more bedraggled, their spirits begin to waver and mistakes are made (but quite how they confused tomato soup with shark repellent is anyone’s guess). Of course it probably helped the filmmakers immensely that Heyerdahl filmed the voyage himself, footage that won an Academy Award back in 1951. To their credit, though, this is not simply a faithful recreation or hagiographic biopic, but rather widens the focus to include the toll Heyerdahl’s obsession had on his marriage and how his blind faith extended to his less-thanappropriate crewmates.

Some of the episodic encounters look and feel similar, but what sets

PERMANENT MARKINGS

SET DESIGNER ANNIE SPERLING IS ON HER WAY TO NEW ZEALAND TO SPEAK AT CREATIVE FESTIVAL SEMI-PERMANENT NEXT WEEK. SHE TELLS US OF HER WORK WITH PHOTOGRAPHER DAVID LACHAPELLE AND HER OWN PERSONAL ETHOS. Production designer Annie Sperling will be presenting this week at this year’s biggest commercial art gig Semi-Permanent.

Sperling has one of the coolest jobs in the world, designing sets for commercials, music videos and feature films. She’s been outrageous fashion photographer David LaChapelle’s primary designer since 2005 creating numerous stunning sets and props for his nuevo- renaissance fantasies. Sperling also produces photography, paintings and murals and has designed and organised over 20 mural projects as part of community beautification programs around Los Angeles. Many of these projects have resulted in the art training of ‘at risk’ local youth, some of whom had histories of gang and graffiti involvement.

Jetlagged, and in, err, semi-permanent transit, en-route to a photo shoot for Janelle, in NYC, Sperling finds a few precious seconds to fire off a few emails, including one to Groove Guide.

Groove Guide: What does design mean to you? When taking on a project, what is at the front of the cortex for you? Are you in the head of the client, the customer or viewer or your own brain?

Annie Sperling: To me the word means ‘the look’, literally the first visceral look. I believe in art and your environment. I believe humans respond to beauty and aesthetics. My job is to make something visually appealing. It’s a bit of a ‘juggle’. Sometimes bringing in the client or agency needs without directly telling the director (what I’m thinking in my head) is a strange dance. Ultimately, I try to make something bitchin’I must stand in front of it for upwards of 12 hours minimally in front of myself, my crew and the other departments.

GG: What will you be telling the amassed hordes at Semi Permanent?

What’s the message you have for them?

AS: I’m seriously humbled they invited me... I’m planning on speaking about my process and also the path I took to get to my career. I think it may be helpful to would-be artists to know I did not have an exact plan! But the road became the plan! I started, initially, as a scenic painter - which has no relation to current my job. However, this background has proved invaluable for my knowledge of process. It affords me budgeting skills and good communication to get the results I want for the look of my sets.

My background is in photography and fine art- mostly painting. I was influenced majorly by music, specifically rock n roll. Movies, too and travel is the pearl in my knowledge pool of styles.

Meeting inspiring people like David LaChapelle was a major turning point in my career- one that happened quite unexpectedly. It was a strange meeting, in a fantasy remodel in the Hollywood Hills. He was using my remodel as a location. That was our first meeting.

GG: Your fashion work is very ultra-surreal, ultra-Glam, glossy, ironic.

AS: I do have lots of cynicism for the world- but it is strangely coupled with a true love for Art. I think when I am doing my job my punk rock upbringing seeps through- I cannot take a commercial that seriously.

We’re selling products, no matter how you elevate it. (My editorial work) has more freedom and irony- more realism and surrealism- this is where I can really play and have fun.

Irony is one word (to describe my work). There is a love of things that make our world work- the electric cords and vents the mundane make the surreal even trippier. All these things have a strange resonance to the eye and I think that is what you are seeing.

GG: Tell me about your public murals project. I read that you were seeking damages from Heineken, who desecrated one of your murals “Our Lady Of Iguanas” (an iconic image in downtown LA).

AS: My, you’ve done your research! The mural in question is an old one I made with these kids- a couple of whom dropped out of gangs as a result of this (mural making) program. Many, as adults, still live in the neighbourhood. I’m seeking ($250K in) damages because I was p***ed that a big corporation covered the wall- which is 2 stories high with an advert. The law is they must notify the artist - if you destroy or use someone’s art there are consequences. I am trying to get funds to refurbish the wall and rework the mural using some of the original painters. It sounds greedy but it is the principal for me.

GG: Now, you’re not just a commercial artist with a punk aesthetic.

Turns out you also ‘collaborate’ with a local club - Lucha Va Voom – Burlesque dancing, Mexican Wrestling and Standup comedy. How did you get to be mixed up in this? Is it true that you’ve wrestled yourself?

AS: I did wrestle with a burlesque star - Kitten de Ville - against the Luchadores LOS CHIVOS DE ORO- the goats of gold! Lucha VaVoom is a fantastic show that plays to a 1000 capacity crowd in an old Deco theatre in downtown LA. Kitten and I danced and wrestled, had we some serious moves! I love Mexican culture and was thrilled to learn some tricks- it’s friggin’ hard! My body was a rock when I wrestled! I’ve been a burlesque dancer for many years and produced a really crazy show with Kitten called Rock n Roll Strip show. I don’t usually talk about both things designing and dancing - although LaChapelle LOVES to tell the agency I am a stripper!

WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT?

THE CURE HAS FINALLY ARRIVED AS THE HANGOVER PART III TIES UP THOSE LOSE MEMORY BLANKS. In 2009, the world was introduced to the party of a lifetime – shots, strippers, dental care and a tiger in the bathroom. In 2011, we were willingly dragged through the seedy underworld of Thailand only to awaken from a night we would rather forget. Now, The Hangover Part III ties up all those loose ends, puts drunken grudges to bed and sets the record straight.

The Hangover Part III is the epic conclusion to a seemingly never-ending journey of mayhem and bad decisions, in which the guys must finish what they started by going back to where it all began: Las Vegas. And like its earlier films, things never go according to plan. But with no wedding, no bachelor party and no limits, what is in store for the final installment?

“We’re going for a truly epic finish,” explains director and writer Todd Phillips. With the plot a closely guarded secret and the trailer refusing to give too much away, one thing is clear – what the boys thought happened in Vegas was only the half of it, which they are about to discover in ways that the filmmakers believe should surprise audiences as much as it surprises the guys.

before, Part III shakes up the morning-after structure of its predecessors while still delivering plenty of laugh-out-loud and what-the-hell moments to keep moviegoers on the edge of their seats.

But rather than memory loss, the final chapter hinges on clarity and things coming into full focus. It’s not about a specific hangover this time but harkens back to the original – that mother-of-all hangovers, triggered by Alan, which set all of this into motion six years ago in ways they couldn’t imagine. The new formula is designed to shake up the tried and true plot of the first two, but also incorporate fan’s favourite elements as well.

Bradley Cooper, returning as high school English teacher and unofficial pack leader Phil, says, “There are little story points we maybe glanced by in the original that become pivotal pieces in the larger whole. Speaking as a fan, myself, watching these movies, the best part – and certainly the funniest – is putting it all together.”

Part III does not shy away from the dark side either – the better to give its humor a sharper edge, Phillips feels.

“There’s a lot of action and comedy, a heist, a road trip, and an element of mystery, too, as we touch on certain things that weren’t explored before but were always part of the undercurrent of the two previous films,” Phillips continues. “It brings everything together and wraps it up with an ending that follows its own logic.”

“With us it always starts with darkness, because that heightens the comedy. Plus, it just gets more interesting and more real as we bring them into darker places and amp up the tension. It’s essentially a fish-out-of-water story for these guys who don’t belong in the situation they’ve been thrown into, so the fun is in watching them struggle and trip their way through it.”

Screenwriter Craig Mazin, who first collaborated with Phillips on the script for The Hangover Part II, recounts how they reached back to the two prior outings to prime that logic.

The Hangover Part III reunites stars Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis and Justin Bartha as Phil, Stu, Alan and Doug. Also returning to the cast are Ken Jeong as Leslie Chow; Heather Graham as Stu’s first wife, Jade; and Jeffrey Tambor as Alan’s father, Sid. Joining the ensemble for the first time is John Goodman, starring as the guys’ new nightmare, Marshall.

“We uncovered a chain of unfinished business that arcs through all three movies for a final story that doesn’t just end on its own, but ends all three,” he says. “Something happened in the beginning, although few caught its significance, and that thing is going to come back to haunt the guys and start them down a path of what will be, in many ways, their most difficult and challenging journey of all.”

More horror stories should be set on tropical islands. There is nothing quite like scaring yourself witless while gazing at sunny beaches and lush palm fronds. The juxtaposition unnerves – and that’s exactly what horror is supposed to do.

Dead Island: Riptide is Deep Silver’s second stab at island horror. It follows on from 2011’s Dead Island, a decent zombie title that whet gamer’s appetites at the peak of the undead gaming craze.

Much like its predecessor, Riptide is a whack-amole zombie survival horror title at its core.

You play as one of four survivors from the original game (ex-football jock Logan, feisty aborigine bodyguard Purna, police officer Xian Mei, or failed one-hit-wonder rap star, Sam B). Riptide also introduces a fifth character, the mysterious ADF soldier John Morgan. Each character has different play styles and specialities, for example, Sam B is a hit with blunt weapons and Xian Mei cuts a fine figure with blades.

The story begins right where Dead Island left off.

Your fabulous four have managed to fight their way through hordes of infected beachgoers and have finally made it off the island. After being intercepted by a military patrol boat they thought they were home safe and sound. They weren’t.

Quelle horreur.

There are parts of Riptide that are genuinely enjoyable. As an RPG experience it has enough depth to keep you entertained. For those with the patience – and the inclination – there are many hidden gems, quests and experiences to play through. This is supplemented by a decent item and skill tree system that gives you real ownership of your characters. And there is the ability for you to call in friends to play the game cooperatively over the net (which is the only way to play survival horror games).

If you’re an avid collector of zombie games, and you had the best time of your life playing Dead Island, you are probably going to want to give Riptide a decent playthrough. If you enjoyed it before, odds are you will enjoy it the second time, too. It’s not amazing, but it doesn’t seem like that’s what the developers were shooting for, either.

One for the fans.

TAKE FLIGHT AUSSIE ROCKERS AIRBOURNE FLEE THE POLITICS BEHIND MUSIC FOR GOOD OL’ ROCK AND ROLL. Celebrating your 10-year anniversary is remarkable milestone for any rock band, but as Airbourne front man Joel O’Keeffe explains it’s no easy road to get to where they are now –the journey to the top is a constant climb.

“It’s never ending, it’s a long way to the top and it never feels like you get to the top for us. [We see it] as hills, you take a hill, then another, then another and you keep taking hills,” he says.

In the end, he laments, the government get involved and the pub ends up getting shut down because you can’t turn down rock ‘n’ roll and it’s a “David verses Goliath battle, and Goliath always wins because he has more money,” says O’Keeffe.

The latest is their new album, Black Dog Barking, which he tells me is completed and will be available on the vinyl, for download and on CD.

O’Keeffe says that bull happens off the road too, before he quotes Winston Churchill and says, “If you’re going through hell, keep going.”

On the title, O’Keeffe says, “It’s [about] the black dog that’s been on your back the whole way. It’s what gets us through, a lot of doors have been shut and a lot bullshit happens.”

Even though Airbourne are bigger than ever, the band have kept the same mindset to writing songs and say the amount of people paying attention doesn’t bother them.

Despite the “bull”, he says playing in rock band is a good time. One of those was life a lesson he learnt that resulted in a trip to the hospital where O’Keeffe ended up playing a children’s castle.

“We’ve got the same mindset. We think about the crowd, what do they want to hear?... And we think about what we want to say, what kicks the most ass, and what’s the deepest and fastest way to get to that point.”

“When someone offers you a drink and you end up in a child’s play castle,” says O’Keeffe, “trying to play a game where you’re a knight, and you’re the only one in there at 3am. [The lesson is] don’t accept drinks from strangers in Everton [England].”

For the new record, the band wrote 40 songs and of those they chose the best 10. O’Keeffe says, “Each song had to earn its place. The track ‘Hungry’ was in a similar vein to another song. But we put that one on [‘Hungry’] because being on the road, we still feel like the band in a van, that hasn’t changed.”

Most of the bull stems from politics.

“We went to play one gig and they said there was a 92 decibel (db) limit and we thought ‘What the fuck?’ It was going to be 108db and they said if we go over they’ll call the cops. So we told them to call them.”

It’s these politics that O’Keeffe says are damaging rock ’n’ roll.

“There are a lot of things at the moment that are against rock ‘n’ roll… there’s a stepping stone pub [for example] that bands play and it’ll be their first show and their first chance to show themselves to people…

then a high rise apartment… comes along and someone in that high rise apartment, 20 floors above this little rock pub, complains about the noise coming from it.”

Black Dog Barking also has a remixed and remastered version of their song ‘Ready to Rock’, which was released 10 years ago, and has been put along side the new track ‘Rock and Roll’.
