Aussie hip-hop juggernaut HILLTOP HOODS are gearing up for their most ambitious national tour to date and, as TE found out, Newcastle can expect a show for the ages.

FINAL DESTINATION 5 Thursday, 10.30pm • GO

THE ROVER Out Now

No strangers to Australia, Kiwi soul-reggae heavyweights The Black Seeds are heading back our way again for what promises to be a belter of a show at the Metro next month.

Long established as one of New Zealand’s finest bands and with a solid foothold in Europe and North America, The Black Seeds have carved out their reputation on the back of their multiplatinum selling albums, and a masterful live show that has been filling dance floors across the globe for over a decade.

While firmly based in the island grooves that inspired the birth of the band over a decade ago, The Black Seeds’ sound casts a wide net, layering funk, soul, Afrobeat, and other eclectic elements over their dub/reggae foundations.

It’s been more than five years since Augie March’s brilliant fourth album Watch me Disappear hit the streets , and while their latest effort doesn’t reach the same dizzying heights of layered musical intellectualism as its predecessor, or indeed their mesmerising first album Sunset Studies, it’s a pretty fair indication that Glenn Richards and co have still got it when it comes to writing a beautifully realised, emotionally charged tune.

The production may be a little more lo-fi than previous efforts, but the ambition is just as lofty.

Sure, at times it may seem overwrought and a little too dense, but if you do some digging into this richly layered album you’ll find some definite gems in here such as the mesmeric folk number Definitive History and the super melancholic and ironically titled Never Been Sad.

What ’ s th e next l i n e ?

When it comes to films that could lay claim to the film of the year title, this gripping flick from director David Michod is definitely up there.

Ten years after a global economic collapse, a hardened, ruthless ex-soldier, Guy Pearce, tracks down the men who stole his only possession.

As he travels through the lawless Australian outback, he takes a damaged young man as his unwitting accomplice.

Guy Pearce, once again, reaffirms his place as one of the greatest acting talents this country has every produced while Robert Pattinson proves that he is so much more than a vapid vampire.

Brilliant.

If you enjoy watching twentysomethings die in weird, wonderful and increasingly gruesome ways, then this shocker should be right up your alley.

In keeping with the theme of ‘it’s impossible to cheat death’ from the previous installments, a group of stock-standard horror flick victims find that out in spades when one of their party prevents their deaths, thanks to a preminition, in a suspension bridge collapse.

LYN BOWTELL, KAREN O’SHEA & KATE BALLANTYNE

When you have someone like managerial impresario Chris Murphy - the man responsible for transforming INXS from local heroes to an international behemoth in your corner, it’s a pretty good foot in the door.

Well, Mr Murphy has just launched a new management company and two acts that he sees world-beater potential in - Lepers and Crooks (pictured) and Barefoot Alley, will be heading to Newcastle this weekend.

Lepers and Crooks, featuring the bass talents of Maitland boy Nick Burg, are a no-nonsense raunchy rock riffing band

that literally oozes 70s swagger while the brother-sister duo Barefoot Alley play loud, heavy riffs that will shake you to your core as well as soft melodic tunes.

Both bands agreed that they would each buy a van and hit the road at whatever cost, as INXS once did, to rock cities and towns across Australia, and Murphy gladly came to the party.

“Stadium bands are created from nonstop touring, phenomenal live shows and intense work ethic,” he said.

Catch the double bill at the Cambridge Hotel on Friday, October 17.

Calamity affliction spent every second of every day thinking about making the next step. I never dreamed I would see the world through music and make the life long friends that I have made.

But it is time for me to step away.”

The band were quick to let fans know that it was still all systems go.

“Although Troy was with us since the band began, in no way will his departure slow us down; we are already writing for our next record, and our tour schedule over the next year is looking to be our busiest yet,” the band said on Facebook.

When seminal Aussie metalcore band The Amity Affliction swing by Newcastle in January next year as part of their The Weigh Downunder Tour, they will have a slightly different look.

Fans were left gobsmacked over the weekend when founding member, guitarist Troy Brady quit the band, smack bang in the middle of a US tour.

“It’s with deep regret I need to let you all know I will no longer be writing music or performing as part of The Amity Affliction,” Brady revealed in a Facebook post.

“Myself and [bass player/singer] Ahren [Stringer] started this band 11 years ago, and

ith their biggest Oz tour to date about to get underway, it’s all about getting in shape at the moment for seminal Adelaide hip hop trio Hilltop Hoods - particularly after a tour, earlier this year to North America - arguably the junk food capital of the world.

“Yeah, I’m back in Adelaide at the moment and I’ve just come back from the gym,” The Hoods’ Suffa told TE. “I’m trying to work off all of those bloody burgers ate in the States - I’ve gotta get match fit for this tour.”

The 22-date national tour is the most ambitious yet for the trio and Suffa said they would be pulling out all the stops.

“Without giving too much away, everything is looking amazing,” he enthused.

“But Newcastle particularly, man - we’ve had some absolute blinders in Newcastle so we’re pretty sure that one is going to go off.”

Speaking of “going off”, their seventh studio album Walking Under Stars has been doing just that since its release - attaining gold status and giving the trio their fourth consecutive Australian number one.

Suffa said the album was essentially a companion piece to their previous effort Drinking From the Sun - making for quite the formidable project.

“We basically decided on this album back in 2009 when we were working on Drinking From the Sun, it’s just that we didn’t expect it to go on for so long ,” he laughed.

HILLTOP HOODS NEWCASTLE ENTERTAINMENT CENTRE FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31 “I mean there are songs on the album, like I’m a Ghost that are quite old, but then there’s Cosby Sweater which we finished like two weeks before the album came out.”

Given the length of time it took for Walking Under Stars to come to fruition, you’d think the trio would almost be ready to start looking toward the next project.

“Not almost - definitely,” Suffa laughed.

“That’s not to say we’re over the album or anything - we love it and we’re really bloody proud of it, but we’re always keen to work on new stuff as well.”

It’s kind of hard to believe that it has been twenty years since Suffa and MC Pressure first formulated the Hilltop Hoods, and 15 since their first album, A Matter of Time dropped - a fact not lost in the slightest on Suffa.

“We were just kids when we got together and, as an adult, I feel very bloody grateful that I’m still able to do this,” he said.

“I mean, back then, the idea of even putting out a record as an Australian hip hop group was a stretch, so anything else we’ve achieved is beyond anything we could’ve imagined back then.

“In terms of being pioneers and stuff we’re not pioneers, the people that came before us, like Def Wish Cast, they’re the pioneers, if anything we pioneered getting hip hop on the radio and now we want to do all we can to propel the culture forward.”

LIGHTS CAMERA ACTION THIS WEEK In James Gray’s The Immigrant, Ewa Cybulski and her sister sail to New York from their native Poland in search of a new start and the American dream. When they reach Ellis Island, doctors discover that Magda is ill, and the two women are separated. Ewa is released onto the mean streets of Manhattan while her sister is quarantined. Alone, with nowhere to turn and desperate to reunite with Magda, Ewa quickly falls prey to Bruno, a charming but wicked man who takes her in and forces her into prostitution.

A WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES Based on Lawrence Block’s bestselling series of mystery novels, A Walk Among the Tombstones stars Liam Neeson as Matt Scudder, an ex-NYPD cop who now works as an unlicensed private investigator operating just outside the law. When Scudder reluctantly agrees to help a heroin trafficker hunt down the men who kidnapped and then brutally murdered his wife, the PI learns that this is not the first time these men have committed this sort of twisted crime, nor will it be the last.

Locked up for a minor crime, 19 year old JR quickly learns the harsh realities of prison life. Protection, if you can get it, is paramount. JR soon finds himself under the watchful eye of Australia’s most notorious criminal, Brendan Lynch. But protection comes at a price. Lynch and his crew have plans for their young protegee. Upon release, JR must help secure Lynch’s freedom, staging a daring prison break. As a reward, he’s invited to join the crew as they plan a gold heist that promises to deliver millions.

Gone Girl

[Rated MA] Reviewed at Tower Cinemas, Newcastle by Amelia Parrot

4/5

David Fincher, the man who brought audiences such moody psychological thrillers as Fight Club and Panic Room has just delivered what will no doubt be the most gripping who done its of this year.

Based of the New York Times best-seller by Gillian Flynn, Gone Girl sees Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike (Die Another Day), play seemingly-typical married couple, Nick and Amy Dunne. Nick’s life is thrown upside-down when Amy goes suddenly and inexplicably goes missing. As details begin to emerge about the couple’s troubled private life, Nick is thrown in front of cameras of America’s ravenous news media as the prime suspect in the murder of his beautiful wife.

Fincher is a modern master of suspense, slowly drip-feeding information and detail to his audience so you’re constantly left guessing. Literary fans will be pleased to know that the film stays true to Flynn’s 2012 novel, but even if you haven’t read the book, Gone Girl is still one wild ride. Utterly enthralling!

Annabelle

[Rated MA] Reviewed at Event Cinemas, Glendale by Stephen Bisset

1/5

With the image of the creepy, buck-toothed, tuxedoed doll from Italian giallo master Dario Argento’s masterpiece Profundo Rosso setting me up with a lifelong uneasiness when it comes to creepy cinematic dolls, I approached this prequel to The Conjuring, arguably the scariest film of last year, expecting to be looking over my shoulder for some time.

The thing is, though, Annabelle just isn’t scary - at all.

A young couple, John and Mia are expecting their first baby and John buys a rare vintage doll - Annabelle - the perfect gift for his antique doll collecting wife. However, as is the case with these things, a group of satanic cultists show up to attack the couple and, although thwarted, the blood of one of their party ends up inside the titular doll and that’s when things go a little haywire. While there are some tense moments here, one scene in an elevator will surely have you using the stairs, this is horrorby-numbers and doesn’t event come close to matching the tension and foreboding atmosphere of the original.

can’t fly past a good pun, so let me start by saying that if you’re looking for fine food in a relaxed atmosphere, Quackers Restaurant fits the bill.

Located in the Duck’s Crossing resort, it’s easy to forget that Quackers exists, but being tucked back off the Pacific Highway amongst Eleebana’s greenery serves the restaurant well, creating a ‘worlds away’ ambiance that can’t be replicated by their city counterparts.

We started by sharing two starters mushroom arancini and oven-baked brie. The arancini was an excellent light option, a mixture of soft and crispy, while the brie was an oozing, delectable delight, complimented perfectly by warm and sweet roasted tomatoes.

Moving on to mains, being Quackers, I had to try the duck, while my dining

partner opted for the lamb. My plate was like The Magic Pudding - the more I ate the more I seemed to have left, with the three pieces of soft duck revealing a mountain of vegetables, wading in a tantalising orange sauce. My dining partner described her lamb as ‘melt in your mouth’, and, going off the little bit I stole, I agreed.

Stuffed as we were, we couldn’t not have dessert, so my dining partner opting for an Affogato, while I selected chocolate mousse. My dining partner, abandoning all propriety, dipped her biscotti straight into the ice cream, Kahlua and coffee concoction. I would like to say I was more demure, savouring my fluffy mousse, but I ended up spreading some of it on the accompanying meringue, its mildness a perfect balance to the meringue’s crunch and sweetness.

The race that stops the nation

Melbourne Cup along with the Gai Waterhousetrained The Offer.

Waterhouse won her first Melbourne Cup last year with Fiorente. Waterhouse encouraged punters to back The Offer in the Cup after the stayer easily won the Sydney Cup earlier this year over 3200m - the same distance as the Melbourne Cup. Leading Sydney trainer Chris Waller has five entries for the race, with the pick of them at this stage being Who Shot Thebarman.

There are 15 overseas-trained gallopers amongst the 72 horses in contention to make the final field of 24 which will be declared on Saturday, November 1. One of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visitors will again be Red Cadeaux, who has finished runner-up twice - to Dunaden in 2011 and Fiorente in 2013.

The four-year-old mare is under the care of trainer Kris Lees at Broadmeadow and impressed with a fast finishing victory at Flemington recently.

The win saw her installed as favourite for the Caulfield Cup this Saturday - traditionally a race which serves as a strong pointer to a runnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chances in the Melbourne Cup. Lucia Valentina is also close to favouritism for the

fter cutting their teeth on beguiling cover versions for the past 18 years, Australia’s foremost electric string quartet, FourPlay, are set to release their first album of completely original material, This Machine, capping off what has already been quite an eventful year for the four piece.

“It has been a really good year, actually,” violinist and vocalist Lara Goodridge told TE. “We played the Barbican Centre in London which was amazing and also Carnigie Hall in New York and that, of course, is the pinnacle for most performers and such a wonderful experience.”

Since releasing their debut Catgut Ya Tongue? In 1998,( an album featuring brilliant renditions of the Dr Who theme, Jeff Buckley’s Grace and Sabotage by the Beastie Boys), FourPlay have managed to rack up some pretty impressive highlights. Chief amoung which was playing the Beach Boys seminal Pet Sounds album live with Brian Wilson himself, and collaborating with UK author Neil Gaiman for a live performance of his The Truth is a Cave in the Black Mountains piece for the Opera House’s Graphic Festival and and eventual book, e-book and CD release.

“Yes, we have managed some pretty amazing feats and working with Brian and Neil is defininitely high on the list,” Goodridge said.

Given that the lions share of their material had, up to this point been re-interpretations of other’s material, it would be fair to assume that there would be some challenges associated with “going original”.

“Actually, there were no challenges,” she laughed.

“We all just love to jam and we love writing and because we’ve been playing for so long, everything becomes quite intuitive.

Shirley a cracker

hile she has been a mainstay of the Brisbane scene since releasing her 2004 EP Hey Mr Lion, singer-songwriter Kristy Apps’ renown is set to be spread a little further afield thanks to her beautifully realised new EP with her new backing band Kristy Apps and the Shotgun Shirleys.

The album continues in a similar folk/alt country vein as Apps previous releases, however, there is an unabashed confidence that drips from every bar -a tacit acknowledgement that Apps has found the right formula.

“There is a much more organic feel to this record, I think and that’s kind of

what I wated going into it,” she told TE. “This EP, I had the sound, the songs we barely changed and it just felt like it was all there. This recording was about capturing the pure essence of the songs and the stories they told. The recording process was the easiest I’ve ever experienced.”

Another reason for this ease in recording was the fact that she had seasoned muso and knob twiddler Shane Nicholson overseeing production duties.

“He just knows the sound I was going after so well, it was just fantastic to work with him.”

Catch Kristy Apps and the Shotgun Shirleys at Lizotte’s Lambton on Wednesday, October 15 and the Lass O’Gowrie on Friday, October 17.

Indie supergroup’s debut STEPHEN BISSET

fter a short-lived reformation of his mid-80s Sydney underground rock outfit The Decline of The Reptiles, singer Mark Roxburgh wasn’t too keen on hanging up the mic.

So, he went about establishing a new band, Joey’s Coop and with members from such bands as Died Pretty, The Happy Hate Me Nots, Eva Trout, Perry Keys, The Visitors, The Atlantics and the Deniz Tek Group, you know you’ve got a supergroup on your hands. Although, as Roxburgh told TE, the supergroup thing was quite serendipitous.

“I knew Brett [Myers, Died Pretty guitarist] from gigging back in the day and thought, he might be open to starting something up again,” he said.

“I’d also played in a post-Radio Birdman high school band with Andy [Newman, The Visitors, The Soul Movers, Deniz Tek Group] “I didn’t know Matt [ Galvin - Eva Trout, The Happy Hate Me Nots] from a bar of soap, but I was asked to take some live shots of the Hate Me Nots and thought, ‘this guy is a great guitar player’”.

“Anyway, Andy,Brett and I jammed and Brett said we needed another guitarist and I thought Matt would be the perfect fit. With Lloyd, our drummer [Perry Keys The Atlantics] Brett and Andy knew him and when I heard him play I thought yeah this guy’s a good drummer but

With just three, very well received gigs under their belt, Joey’s Coop will be making their maiden Newcastle turn this weekend. There are also plans in the works to lay down some tracks with uber Aussie producer Wayne Connolly.

“It can be tough for a band like us because all our fans are middle-aged and tend not to get out much,’ he laughed.

“But if they get out to this one they’ll have a bloody good time.”

Floyd goes live STEPHEN BISSET

f you know anything about Sydneybased stalwart Floyd Vincent, you’d know that the live arena was his raison d’etre. It makes sense then that his first recorded effort with the recently re-named Floyd Vincent and the Temple Dogs (formerly The Childbrides ) would be a live album.

Dubbed A Little Saturday Night Music Vincent said the tracks were culled from three Hunter Valley gigs earlier this year.

“We recorded three sets, on gear that we managed to get the use of from the Opera House - one at the Wicko, one at the Grand Junction in Maitland and one at the Ocean View in Dudley,” Vincent explained.

“Then, it was a matter of me sitting down and going through those three sets and picking out the best performances

I

- songs that work best with the theme of Saturday night - and then compiling them in much the same way that I would write a set list.

“Just going through the sets is time consuming enough but also because, while I have produced a few albums in the past, it was the first time that I had done any kind of knob twiddling so there was a bit of a learning curve.”

Vincent added that it was always the intention for the first release under the Temple Dogs name to be a live record.

“It was always the plan, mainly because we’d never done it before and secondly because we’d had fans ask us to do it for years. There is a real immediacy with a live recording , also the wonderful intuitive interplay between the musicians onstage.”

Catch Floyd Vincent and the Temple Dogs at the Wickham Park Hotel on Saturday, October 18 .
