MDC are credited as one of the most politically vocal US hardcore punk bands to come out of the early 1980s and are coming to our shores for the first time. Forming in 1979, MDC were one of the pioneers of hardcore punk, releasing their debut album in 1982. It’s now widely regarded as an essential punk classic.

I’m currently loving the ethereal harmonies and drifting anthems on ‘Dojo Rising’, from the sophomore effort which was made during a two month stint in a Kent studio, nearly 17,000 Km from their American homeland, with Barny Barnicott (Kasabian/Arctic Monkeys). On paper, Cloud Control could be from the Fleet Foxes/Grizzly Bear camp. Dream Cave is not just a result of exposure to peers.

One of the most prestigious events on the country music calendar this year features, for first time ever in New Zealand, a performance from international multi-award winning Juice Newton! Kiwi music fans will know her best from her NZ Top 10 hits ‘Angel of the Morning’, ‘Queen of Hearts’.
Alister Wright (vocals, guitar) wanted Dream Cave to sound more like Check Your Head era Beastie Boys. I’m not sure I see that connection but there’s no mistaking references to the Flaming Lips, Yo La Tengo and the ever-present Beach Boys. Best is the Nicks/Buckingham-meets-rave synthesiser of ‘The Smoke, The Feeling’, which just sinks nicely down into the boots. There’s also a beautiful intensity in live-recorded ‘Promises’. Apparently Wright imagined himself as Roy Orbison trapped in underground grotto, engulfed in claustrophobic dankness. Creepy satisfaction!

CLOUD CONTROL
De La Soul formed while the members – Posdnuos (Kelvun Mercer), Trugoy the Dove (David Jude Jolicoeur) and Pasemaster Mase (Vincent Lamont Mason Jr) – were at high school in the late ‘80s. A demo came to the attention of Stetsasonic’s Prince Paul, who then went on to produce their debut album 3 Feet High and Rising. At the time of its release in 1989, 3 Feet High and Rising was hailed as the future of hip-hop. With its colourful neo-psychedelic collage of samples and styles, along with the trio’s low-key and clever rhymes, the album sounded like nothing else in hip hop. And this was also at a time when most of their contemporaries
3 Feet High and Rising proved that rappers didn’t have to talk about the streets to succeed, weaving clever wordplay and deft rhymes across two dozen tracks. De La Soul broke down boundaries all over the LP, moving easily from the groovy my-philosophy intro ‘The Magic Number’ to an intelligent, caring inner-city vignette named ‘Ghetto Thang’ and the endof-innocence tale ‘Jenifa Taught Me (Derwin’s Revenge)’. Thinly disguised under a layer of humour, their lyrical themes ranged from true love (‘Eye Know’) to the destructive power of drugs (‘Say No Go’) to Daisy Age philosophy (‘Tread Water’). 3 Feet High and Rising not only heralded the Daisy Age (DA Inner Sound Y’all) of hip-hop, but significantly influenced the beginning of 1990s alternative hip hop. Without a doubt an absolute classic, and deservedly so! WRITTEN BY REN KIRK

ELYSIUM GENERAL RELEASE
directed by NEIL JORDAN
From District 9 director Neill Blomkamp comes, the post-apocalyptic tale of two worlds: the very rich and the very poor. Matt Damon (cue Team America references) bridges the gap between the high and low classes in order to help those in need. A sci-fi thriller that will no doubt draw comparisons to Blomkamp’s debut feature.
GISELLE GENERAL RELEASE
Director Toa Fraser (No. 2, Dean Spanley) brings The Royal New Zealand Ballet to the big screen, capturing their acclaimed production of the two-act classic Giselle (first performed in 1841). Filmed over two nights at Auckland’s Aotea Centre, the film is collaboration between the ballet company and the NZ Film Commission for a real behind the scenes look.
SAT 17 AUG BLOW JOB TE PAPA
Directed by Andy Warhol, Blow Job depicts the face of an uncredited actor as he apparently receives said act from an unseen partner. Despite the salacious title, the film shows only the expression on the young man’s face; the implied sexual act itself is not seen. Check this out for a unique work of cinematic art.
Starring SAOIRSE RONAN, GEMMA ARTERTON, CALEB LANDRY JONES
While Neil Jordan’s last film, 2009’s beguiling, wholly underrated seanymph tale Ondine, stopped short of marking a full-fledged return to the realm of fantastique where he’s notably contributed with Company of Wolves and Interview with the Vampire, Byzantium is such a return and his most satisfying and cohesive work in years. Adapted from her own stage play, Moira Buffini’s screenplay offers Jordan ample wiggle room to take liberties with traditional representations of bloodsucking lore. Conspicuously absent are references to stakes, garlic, sunlightaversion, etc. And instead of fangs, the film’s protagonists - Clara (Gemma Arterton) and Eleanor (Saoirse Ronan), a nomadic mother-daughter pair of “sucrients” who’ve been on the run for 200 years - use their erect thumbnails to draw blood from their
victims’ necks. It’s a brutal, inventive method of dispatch that also proves to be more visually dynamic than the ol’ teeth-to-the-jugular. The densely threaded narrative occasionally gets bogged down during the info-dump flashbacks establishing Clara and Eleanor’s Napoleonic-era origins. But Jordan’s customarily stylish and elegant direction carries the film, and he’s aided by the leads’ outstanding performances, Sean Bobbit’s exquisitely lush cinematography, and deeply atmospheric coastal locations that fully realise the supernatural, moodily poetic possibilities of Byzantium’s world. It’s part Gothic noir, part coming-of-age fable, instilled with refreshingly feminist leanings and topped off with decapitated heads, bloody waterfalls and a dollop of maternal ferocity.

AMERICAN HORROR STORY STOKER: THE BRAND NEW HORROR THAT ’S GOT LINKS TO THE PAST.
Penned from the hand of Wentworth Miller – yes, the handsome fellow from Prison Break fame – and directed by South Korean horror filmmaker Park Chan-wook, this is not your typical Hollywood horror. Described by Park as a “slightly twisted love story” and a coming-of-age tale, Stoker is a psychological thriller focusing on the darkest recesses and impulsive desires lurking inside the human mind. When India Stoker (Mia Wasikowska) loses her father Richard (Dermot Mulroney) in a tragic accident on her 18th birthday, her quiet life on the family’s secluded estate is shattered. She finds herself drawn to her father’s long-lost brother, Charlie (Matthew Goode), who unexpectedly arrives for the funeral and decides to stay on with her and her emotionally unstable mother, Evie (Nicole Kidman). While the teen initially mistrusts her charming but mysterious uncle, he fascinates her and she begins to realise how much they have in common. Written under the pseudonym Ted Foulke, because Miller was convinced no-one would take his work seriously, the TV star’s script eventually landed on the 2010 Black List, the prestigious unofficial list of the best unproduced films available. Openly drawing on Bram Stoker’s famous novel Dracula, Miller makes it clear this is not a tale about vampires, but draws on the fundamental aspects of a classic horror film. “A stoker is one who stokes, which also ties in nicely with the narrative,” he explains. “The jumping-off point is actually Hitchcock’s Shadow of a Doubt. So, that’s where we begin and then we take it in a very, very different direction.” Although a number of top directors expressed interest in this unique script, production company Scott Free’s first choice was Park, a noted auteur. But as a screenwriter himself, there was doubt he would agree to work on a piece that wasn’t his own. However, Park was drawn to the film’s unconventional and tautly woven story, as well as its severely restricted physical world. “The constant tension almost suffocates,” he explains. “Something is about to explode, like a kettle of boiling water with the lid on tight. A story that takes place in a confined space becomes a small universe unto itself. “I also liked the fact that it was not a story that revolves around dialogue,” the director continues. “That was an advantage for my
first English-language film. My Korean language films have not been dialogue-oriented either, so I was already comfortable with telling the story in a more visual way.” Working on such a complex film with a non-English speaker at the helm was never a problem for Australian natives and leading ladies Nicole Kidman and Mia Wasikowska. “He’s completely there,” says Wasikowska. “It’s interesting because he’s such a visionary, and often with visionaries you kind of have to compromise maybe what’s best for acting because of a certain shot or the way they want things to be done. Park, though, always tries to make it primarily about what’s best for the acting, and how he can help you, and what you need to give the performance you want to give.” The 23-year-old star, who is well-known for her leading role in Alice in Wonderland, takes a dark turn as India, exploring a far more sexual and aggressive character than some of her previous work. “We definitely also wanted to make her a real girl: Even though she’s very complex and mysterious, she’s also very much a young girl who has fantasies and desires. I think with a lot of darker material the only time it hits me is the first time I read it. Often I’ll read something and go, ‘Oh wow, that’s really heavy,’ and then as I get more and more into it I forget about it so I don’t really feel it in that way.” Kidman likens working with Park to the late great Stanley Kubrick, who she collaborated with on another sexual thriller, Eyes Wide Shut. Having watched Park’s Cannes award-winning The Vengeance Trilogy, the actress was shock at the graphic nature of the flicks, but was strangely drawn to it – a central dichotomy in Stoker. “Park is such a gentle man and yet he makes these amazing films and he has these incredible ideas that come out of him. There are very strong intellectual ideas that he puts forward in his films,” she says. “And it’s the same with Stoker. He creates a very tense atmosphere in what is, on one level, a thriller that builds and builds, but it’s actually about evil and the genesis of evil.” WRITTEN BY LAURA WEASER FILM OUT: THU 15 AUG

PREVIEW: PUPPETEER Usually, when you talk about a game, you drop in terms like ‘first-person shooter’ or ‘zombie survival horror’ and everyone is on the same page. However, Puppeteer is one of those games that is elusive in genre. And yet, this mysterious enigma is what makes this charming new game from Sony Japan so totally captivating. Puppeteer looks like a family-friendly outing, but the plot that unravels before you in the opening sequences wouldn’t be out of place in a horror movie. Our hero in the story, Kutaro, is a joyous little boy who suddenly gets his head ripped off by the terrifying Moon Bear King - an evil menace who enjoys kidnapping the delicate souls of children. With Kutaro’s human body brutally beheaded and casually discarded, he is now a disfigured wooden puppet, forced to guard the evil King’s nightmarish castle for all eternity. Delightful isn’t it? Despite the cutesy name and stunning, colourful visuals, Puppeteer is probably one of the darkest games I’ve played on the PS3. And I recently played The Last of Us. It is steeped in the macabre and drizzled with sinister undertones, but the game is absolutely brilliant because of it. Put crudely, the game is a platform adventure. But in much the same way as LittleBigPlanet captivated hearts and minds, Puppeteer is so much more than that. Here, worlds are crafted before your very eyes as if you’re in some sort of organic playful pantomime. As different set pieces slide onto your on-screen stage, environments continuously transform to deliver wondrous new creations. In front of these deliriously beautiful level designs, Kutaro is equally captivating. Because of his head-related mishap, he can find and wear other heads to replace his own, such as a hamburger head, a bleached skull, or a creepy spider’s head. Each one gifts Kutaro unique powers, which can aid in his quest; for example the knight’s helmet is handy in battle. However his cranium is perched perilously on his little body and if he goes without a head for too long, he dies. Puppeteer is going to surprise people. It even makes newly announced next-gen PS4 games look bland and unoriginal with its artistic integrity; look for the full to arrive in New Zealand on September 11th. WRITTEN BY ANGUS DEACON

RUMOUR: AMAZON GAMING CONSOLE COMING THIS YEAR
Game Informer is reporting that several sources have confirmed the existence of a new Android-powered gaming console in the works at online retail giant Amazon.com. Furthermore, the device - which wasn’t named - will release this year; likely in time for the famous (in the US) Black Friday sales (November 29th this year), and it will have its own dedicated controller. Amazon already sell several Android-powered devices (the Kindle Fire range), and already have both the ecosystem and expertise to deliver apps straight to users through the Amazon App Store. If true, chances are we’ll find out about the new console very soon.

TREAT HER LIKE A LADI THE KIWI SINGER BRINGS A MORE MATURE SOUND TO HER NEW RECORD. Patience. That’s the number-one thing that’s essential in the life of Ladi6 (aka Karoline Tamati) – and having spent the last three years or so working on her highly-anticipated third solo album, it’s a good thing she’s got plenty of it. It’s been a busy few years for Ladi6. In 2010, the 30-year-old released her gold-certified sophomore album The Liberation of…. Produced by her partner Parks (Brent Parks) and Sebastian Weiss of German hip-hop group Blumentopf, the album saw the release of her platinum-certified single ‘Like Water’. It earned her the attention of British critics, with them calling her “One to Watch”. Following its massive success – not to mention a Taite Music Prize and some extensive touring with the likes of Katchafire and Kora – Ladi6 was ready for round three. Having locked in some recording sessions at Revolver Studios in Auckland, she also decided to pack up her bags and head stateside to record her new album, titled Automatic. Never one to rest on her laurels, Ladi6 set her sights big and got hold of Waajeed, a Detroit-born music producer and one half of the hip-hop and R&B group Platinum Pied Pipers. “We contacted him from New Zealand and Skyped to talk through the project,” she explains. “Then we flew over to make a few tracks with him in his studio of choice in the D.” “The D” being his hometown and that choice was Studio A – where the likes of Common, Jay-Z and Mary J Blige have all recorded throughout their careers. “It was so much fun,” Ladi6 says. “A new and exciting experience. We went over there late last year and again this year in May to April. It was busy though – the trips were very much work, work, work. But we did do some iconic Detroit/US things like shop at an outlet mall, go to a drive-in movie, eat cornbread and visit the Motown museum.” With most of the writing for her third release done in the studios, Ladi6 says “making it spontaneously in the studio has its challenges; it adds a lot of pressure”. Described as “a beautiful amalgamation of soul and futuristic hip-hop complemented by Ladi6’s hypnotic vocals”, she says the aim was to always progress onwards and upwards in terms of both sound and production. “The style is based in hip-hop and soul, but still I think veers off into extreme tangents of both genres. The writing was mostly done in the studio, going in with nothing and emerging at the end with two or three tracks at a time. Parks really was at the forefront of the production with Waajeed, and from there the tracks really grew into songs.” Calling it the “best record we’ve made, but certainly not the best we will ever make”, fans are promised to hear a “more mature, confident, selfassured Ladi6 then in previous records”. “We are still growing, learning, healing, vibrating,” she says. “It’s a real humbling and motivating experience to realise that the best is yet to come still.” But after the huge success of number two, did she feel there’s an expectation to live up to? – “Short answer, no”.

“I put my own pressures on myself,” she explains. “If I also took into consideration everyone else’s expectations, I’d go crazy.” Fans no doubt heard the product of her blood, sweat and tears on the road when Ladi6, Parks, Julien Dyne and Brandon Haru joined forces with @Peace for a national tour earlier this year – and they’ll be ready for round two when the album is released on August 16, with a number of “listening parties” in the four main centres later this month before Ladi6 departs our shores once more.
