The Yabu Band
INSPIRATIONAL MUSICIANS
• Jane Cheedy, Aroha Tangira and Kenrick Cheedy
• Ross, Meeza, Jodi and Lawson Humphries
Fighting over the same guitar from the age of five, multi-talented brothers, Delson and Boyd Stokes, known today as Yabu Band, have created a powerful, unique desert rock sound which they showed when they performed at the Walkington Amphitheatre on May 23. More than just an Indigenous band, they provide positive messages through song, a vehicle of inspiration that has encouraged children and adults to achieve all that they can. Yabu singer/songwriter and 1999 Male Youth of the year Delson Stokes said people are trying to escape the real world. “Letting it go in the bottom of a plastic bottle or shopping bag. “You can see in their eyes, they are empty,” he said. “It’s like a silent killer and it’s important we stop putting it under the carpet and sing about it in a way that you have hope and have life. I am pleading with them. “This song is like a prayer for them to wake up.” Yabu believe that there is nothing more important than encouraging today’s youth to have self-worth and chase one’s dreams.

ONCE
YOU ONLY LIVE LAUNCH PARTY ❙ DJ Hanky entertaining the crowd
❙ Shauna Diehm and Taylor Burmester
The newest party to hit Karratha opened their doors to celebrate the launch of Y.O.L.O last weekend, with over 400 people breaking it down on the Tambrey dance floor. Y.O.L.O, which was created by Karratha’s very own DJs, Pharaoh and Hanky, proved to be a huge success. Karratha saw the likes of local DJ’s hit the decks alongside Pharaoh and Hanky, including Cam Myles, Flowers, Cooplex and a special visit from Panda. What makes Y.O.L.O stand out from a number of the other DJ events in the town, is that it is run, operated and performed by locals, it’s cheap and people have the opportunity to jump the queue, plus get a little discount simply by joining the VIP guest list. The guest list opened up to the public a couple of weeks before the party and closed a few days beforehand when 150 people put their names down as VIPs. DJ Pharaoh promised a night to remember and that’s exactly what the locals received.
RSL Members & Most Welcome
“Karratha hasn’t seen anything like it before and in the coming months Y.O.L.O will be bringing some quality national and international acts to Karratha; bringing hands in the air party mayhem like never seen before,” DJ Pharaoh said. The night consisted of big house beats and party anthem treats, with the crowd going wild for ‘Internet Friends’ and even a few shufflers were seen in the crowd when LMFAO’s ‘Party Anthem’ made an appearance from the speakers. But Y.O.L.O is far from over; each month Y.O.L.O will bring new and exciting things to the Tambrey. This monthly event is not to be missed, with more news of upcoming events arising very shortly.

THE
Comedy Shack NORTHWEST TOUR
This September sees a lineup of four of Australia’s best headline comedians, tour a live standup comedy show throughout six towns in the northwest. Presented by the Comedy Shack, one of Perth’s favourite live comedy venues, this is set to be some welcome comic relief for the residents and fly-in workers of Newman, Panawonica, Paraburdoo, Tom Price, Karratha and Port Hedland. Owner of the Comedy Shack and producer of this tour, Bradley Wright said that they love to laugh and wanted to share this with the northwest residents, by bringing some high quality entertainment to the people who work in these isolated places, but have very little variety in terms of what they can do for fun. “Everybody in Australia loves to laugh, and these guys we’ve handpicked are damn good at making this happen,” he said. Whilst standup comedy is a rapidly growing art-form across the capital cites of Australia, it is very rare that shows make their way to these regional centres. The Comedy Shack has gone allout sourcing its talent, compiling a varied lineup of headline acts from all around Australia.
“We are really excited to present this show,” Bradley said. “I’ve seen how positively people respond to a fun night of comedy from my time running the Shack in Perth. “We are going to give the workers of these towns over two hours of belly laughs each night, from four very different comedians, and I’m sure they’ll be trying to retell these guys jokes for months to come.” The four comedians are some of the most down-to-earth guys in the business and will happily be available for a chinwag, a beer and a DVD signing after each show. With a conservative number of shows released and sell outs expected, The Comedy Shack tour is definitely one to grab a ticket to.
21 JUMP STREET By Gregg Katzman
Tour dates in September: • Newman – Thur 6 & Fri 7 • Tom Price - Sat 8 & Sun 9 • Paraburdoo - Mon 10 • Panawonica - Tues 11 • Port Hedland - Wed 12 & Thur 13 • Karratha - Fri 14 & Sat 15
Awesomely sharp writing and hilarious chemistry help 21 Jump Street smack aside the misconception that it’s a passable comedy and make it the first must-see comedy of 2012. Like many others, I groaned and rolled my eyes when I saw 21 Jump Street’s first trailer. Fortunately, I was horribly mistaken. 21 Jump Street was originally a crime drama starring Johnny Depp that aired from 1987 to 1991. Young looking cops took part in undercover assignments in every episode to deal with growing youth crime.

It was treated as serious business at the time, but now? Not so much. The movie snags that very same concept and slaps a strong comedic twist on it. Thankfully, a solid script turns this weighty subject into a two-hour laughathon. The two main officers, Morton Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Greg Jenko (Channing Tatum), are polar opposites. Schmidt is a smart dude but is majorly lacking when it comes to physicals and confidence. He’s hesitant, shy and just downright awkward when put on the spot. Meanwhile, Jenko thinks he’s God’s gift as he struts with
total confidence and could probably knock out the entire UGO staff by flexing his arm hard enough. Their assignment is simple: learn about a new drug circulating around the school and put an end to it before it spreads. Because of their vast differences, they’re each given a fake ID tailor-made for them. It’s just too bad Jenko had a brain-fart and got their identities switched, forcing these two down a character development road filled with hard laughs and some wellcrafted drama. 21 Jump Street will be playing at the Matt Dann Cultural Centre on June 9.
