or my money, Aussie director Baz Luhrmann has always been one to value style over substance and his latest outing, ‘The Great Gatsby’ is certainly no different.

While F Scot Fitzgerald’s novel was essentially a treatise on dissatisfaction in a class-based America, Luhrmann’s interpretation tends to revel in Gatsby’s excessiveness rather than rally against it.

The classic story centres around MidWestern native Nick Carraway (Tobey McGuire) who is lured into the lavish and often empty world of the Long-Island party scene courtesy of his playboy neighbour Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio).

Such is often the case with these situations, Carraway soon comes to realise that Gatsby’s nouveau riche existence, complete with its lashings of obsession and madness, is not always all that it is cracked up to be.

ince the implosion of burly 90s grunge rockers The Screaming Trees, frontman Mark Lanegan has continued to surprise and impress with a string of stripped back solo albums and ethereal collaborations with Isobel Campbell and this latest set is no different.

Essentially a covers record, ‘Imitations’ is a collection of tracks that have inspired Lanegan from childhood to now and could possibly be one of the most eclectic selection in recent memory. In full crooner mode, Lanegan pays tribute to Frank Sinatra (‘Pretty Colours’), Nancy Sinatra (‘You Only Live Twice’), Andy Williams (‘Autumn Leaves’, ‘Lonely Street’) and more modern fare such as Nick Cave (‘Brompton Oratory’) and The Twilight Singers (‘Deepest Shade’).

Lanegan’s deep and smoky drawl brings a definite gravitas to proceedings, especially on the Bobby Darin version of the Bertolt Brecht number ‘Mack The Knife’.

hen it comes to on-screen comedic cinematic chemistry, it’s pretty hard to go past Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi as Jake and Elwood Blues in this timeless classic from director John Landis ( ‘Animal House’, ‘An American Warewolf in London’).

After he is released from the “big house”, ‘Joliet’ Jake Blues teams up with his brother Elwood to visit The

Penguin – the overbearing nun who raised the pair at boarding school.

The Penguin informs them that the boarding school will close if $5000 is not found within a week. The Blues Brothers want to help, and decide to put their blues band back together and raise the the money by staging a big gig. As they set off on their “mission from God” they seem to make more enemies along the way.

There are some brilliant cameos from Carrie Fisher, Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles.

Mark Lanegan – Imitations Out Now

O

k 80s kids, it’s time to bust out the skinny ties and fingerless gloves as to of the era’s biggest pop names – Kim Wilde and Nik Kershaw are heading our way in what is sure to be one heck of a retro extravaganza.

Mention Kim Wilde’s name and people’s eyes light up.

In Australia she has always been very close to our hearts having charted three number one megahits- ‘Kids In America’, ‘You Keep Me Hangin’ On’ and ‘If I Can’t Have You’. To put her amazing career in perspective she has sold 10 million albums and 20 million singles and is the most is the most charted British female artist of her generation.

Nik Kershaw is no slouch either.

Elton John called him “one of the best songwriters of a generation” and with Howard Jones he led the synthesized pop world of the 80s with a string of top 10 smash hits and cool videos including ‘Wouldn’t It Be Good’ and ‘I Won’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me’,

fter listening to the debut long player, ‘Nightswim’ from Owl Eyes (aka Brooke Addamo to the taxman) there is little denying that this is one artist who is set to move from the ‘one’s to watch’ list.

While her three previous EPs – ‘Faces’, ‘Raiders’ and ‘Crystalised’ put paid to any throwaway pop wannabe tags that may’ve been foisted upon the singer after her exit from the finals of Australian Idol in 2008, ‘Nightswim’ with it’s cinematic pop tropes and lush production could just be the thing to take her to the next level. With a debut spot at number 28 on the ARIA charts upon its release earlier this year, it seems the Aussie music buying public thinks so, too.

“I’m really happy and also a little bit relieved with how people seem to be taking to the album,” the affable Addamo told TE. “I guess I experimented quite a bit with the album – I’m always learning and so it is great to know that people appreciate it.”

Addamo said the gestation period was a lot longer for the album than for previous projects - partly because, for Addamo, life on the road is not necessarily conducive to writing songs.

“I definitely thought about where I wanted the album to go a lot more than on the EPs – I’d say that it took the better part of a year to put it all together.

“I started writing the album with Jan [Skubiszewski – Addamo’s longtime writing partner] in Melbourne and I ended up hooking up with Styalz Fuego who ended up finishing off the production and doing an amazing job.”

Addamo said that one of the biggest shifts in style from the EPs was her desire to take a more direct approach to her lyrics.

“I guess that, lyrically, I wanted to be more true to myself on ‘Nightswim’,” she said.

“I wanted it to be more real and I wanted to be able to look back on the album and know where I was at the time.”

f After pricking up more than their fair share of ears around the traps for their sludgy, riff-heavy and unpredictable live shows, Newcastle-based outfit Maids are set to go one better with their debut self-titled EP. The boys will be back in their old stomping ground this week as part of and East Coast tour to launch the EP and drummer/vocalist Sean Cook told TE that while the band were over the moon to have their first recorded effort out in the ether, they were already looking on to greener pastures.

“Yeah, it’s finally out,” he laughed.

“We recorded it all over a year ago so it is good to finally see it released but we are already looking to move onto the next thing because the songs have been with us for a while now.”

Despite only being a band for the past two years, the boys – Cook, Matthew James (guitar), Nathan Berryman (guitar) and Dylan Thomas (bass) met as young tackers in primary school but it wasn’t until post-high school that their musical visions aligned.

“Yeah we all went to the same primary school together and after high school we all played in various bands and then, somehow, everything seemed to just come together.”

Anyone that has seen Maids live will know that one apt word to describe their set is “big” and Cook said that one of the main focuses of the band was to replicate that “bigness” when it came time to hit the studio. To that end, they enlisted the services of Lindsay Gravina [The Living End, Roland S Howard, Cosmic Psychos] to oversee production duties who, well and truly sprinkled even more sonic heaviness over proceedings.

“Yeah, we really did want the EP to be quite full-on and Lindsay did manage to make it sound really, really big – more than we expected, actually” he said.

Catch Maids when they play at The Small Ballroom on Friday, September 20 with Cotton Sidewalk and The Owls.

e crystal clear waters of Lake Macquarie will be a’ripplin with the tubthumping sounds of the blues when the inaugural ‘Rathmines Got the Blues’ mini festival kicks off at Rathmines Bowling Club next weekend.

Organisers have cobbled some of the finest blues acts the region has to offer for the festival that will also offer a slew of market stalls, a guitar raffle, a bbq and an acoustic walk-up whiteboard for any burgeoning blues talent to sign up and impress with their blues stylings.

One of the major drawcards for the festival is sure to be Newcastle blues powerhouse, Catfish Soup (pictured).

Currently riding high on the back of their latest slab of all killer, no filler blues rock

‘We Got What You Need’, these guys know all about delivering a powerhouse set.

The Soup have built a solid fan base and earned a reputation as a direct and compelling live act that’s all about the music. Paying homage to the blues styles of the 40s, 50s and 60s, keeping it real and raw all the while will be Mama Jane’s Blues Band. If you needed any more convincing, then what about Pat Dow, the Crosseyed Cats, Diddley Bo Dixon and Shelly Turner and Moonshine Blue? A pretty formidable line-up by anyone’s standards The ‘Rathmines Got the Blues’ festival will be on at Rathmines Bowling Club on Sunday, September 29. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children with kids under 5 free. All proceeds will go to Morriset Vision Impaired and organisers are on the lookout for sponsors.

ewcastle outfit Silverhair are a slick rock and roll outfit comprising three extremely experienced musos playing all the platters that matter from the 1970s and ’80s with a decent smattering of the popular rock hits of today to suit almost any audience at almost any venue.

Lush three-part vocal harmonies are just one of the features of Silverhair’s sets, with professionalism, drive and entertainment the focal point of every performance.

If the likes of AC/DC, Bad Company, Hoodoo Gurus, Midnight Oil and the Foo Fighters float your boat, then you’d do well to get along to a Silverhair gig as these guys are guaranteed to please.

This year Silverhair have welcomed a new drummer into the old – Peter Shute. Shute is a Newcastle boy and has played with bands like, Freeway and Traxx and has a solid, precise style which fits well with the established Silverhair sound. He also brings another vocal into the mix, which enhances the vocal dynamics of the band.

Catch Silverhair when they play at the Royal Inn, Waratah on Saturday, September 21.

f you’re a music fan, chances are the boys from Rubber Bullet will have something for you in their kit bag.

With an unrivalled quantity of songs in the arsenal they have been gigging solidly in the Newcastle area for quite some time now.

Like many popular powerhouse bands of the past, Rubber Bullet pride themselves on only being a threepiece and keeping it all totally live.

They have recently welcomed their new member, drummer, Peter Shafter, he of Newcastle ska outfit Rubix Cuba.

Versatility is a must for today’s bands and Rubber Bullet are received equally well in both pubs and clubs.

The majesty of rock ith their hilarious pean to the cookie-cutter nature of modern pop, ‘Four Chord Song’ going absolute gangbusters on You Tube (just shy of 15million hits at last check), it’s a tough row to hoe to argue that Aussie trio the Axis of Awesome are not the most awesomest comedy band in the world.

The song is an acutely observed pastiche of 38 pop songs that all contain the same basic chord structure (I, V, VI, IV for you music nerds) and while the band knew they had stumbled onto some sonic gold, lead vocalist Jordan Raskopoulos told TE that no-one had any idea the impact the song would have around the

world. “When the idea first came to us – it was kind of before the internet really took off as a thing, so the whole idea of going viral just wasn’t around,” he said.

“Since then, out minds have just been consistently blown with how much the song has taken off –I mean we can go to Amsterdam, for example, and have people singing our songs – it’s just fantastic and in a global sense it was always very difficult for Australian comedians to gain exposure overseas.”

Since forming as an improve comedy concern while at Sydney Uni, the Axis Of Awesome first hit the national consciousness after a string of rap parody numbers that lampooned the 2007 Federal election. Catch the Axis of Awesome when they blow the doors off Wests New Lambton on Sunday, September 29 with their awesomeness.

t seems that every second band these days is playing some form of psychedelic rock.

However, a fuzz pedal and a copy of ‘Nuggets’ does not a psychedelic band make – a fact known only too well by Woolongong threepiece The Walking Who. These guys are the real deal. Drawing inspiration from the West Coast psychedelic sound (think the likes of early Doors, but more beefed up or a less beefed-up Love and you’re in the right ballpark) rather than the glut of blues-rock inspired psych that is currently flooding the airwaves.

The band are currently out on the road in support of their latest EP ‘Mansions’ and bass player Jay Drury told TE the band couldn’t wait to give Newcastle punters a taste when they hit town next week.

“Yeah we kicked off the tour last night playing Big Sound in Brisbane which was a really fun, wild night, and we’re hoping we can keep that going for the rest of the tour” he said.

Mansions has been doing pretty good business since its release with the lead single ‘Have You Seen The Coulders’ picking up lashings of airplay on FBI and by the doyen of emerging sounds

Richard Kingsmill on Triple J, and Drury said that while the band was “stoked” with the attention ‘Mansions’ had been receiving in Australia, the band were quietly confident of a positive result.

“Before we released the album in Australia, we serviced it to college radio in the States and it managed to hit number 17 son the US Submodren charts and in the Top 200 CMJ charts which was pretty cool – but yeah, obviously we’re stoked that be people seem to be digging it in Australia, too.”

Drury said that much of the “spook” contained on the record came from their choice of recording location – The Mansion - a dilapidated mansion that had come under the control of various artists and students and was turned into a kind of artistic playground.

“Mid way through recording our last record [‘Candy Flu’] we moved into this mansion in North Woolongong and the songs on the EP were basically written over a two year period while the three of us were living there.

“It was just awesome to have the ability to just hang out or whatever and then go and lay some stuff down – they were really perfect conditions.

Honestly for us, I don’t think recording in a studio would be as pleasant or interesting for us.”

The same goes for the main component of our meals – mine was the pan fried chicken breast topped with the Wicko Special sauce and my dining partner selected the Atlantis Scotch, which was served with a seafood mornay. We were both mightily pleased. My special sauce was indeed special – two layers of ham, cheese, and a generous serve of avocado, but what really gave it a zing was the tasty mustard sauce. As for the steak, my partner was happy because it was cooked to absolute perfection.

espite originally getting together as a covers band, rollicking northern NSW “Celtapunkabillyrootsfolkrock” outfit, the Round Mountain Girls have certainly gone above and beyond the call of duty. With tubthumping sets at such iconic Aussie festivals as Port Fairy Folk, Bluesfest, Tamworth, the Gympie Muster and Woodford under their belts, the boys are heading down our way to give us a taste of their latest album ‘ Getting There Is Only Halfway Back’.

Round Mountain Girls’ guitarist Chris Eaton told TE that the band couldn’t wait to get back to Newcastle as their last turn here was almost as raucous as the band’s set.

“Yeah we just can’t wait – we’ve done

a few gigs down your way before – actually, our last gig was a private house party in Dudley and that was pretty wild time, I can tell you.

“But I can guarantee that we will deliver a pretty raucous show this time around too, with a few moments of sentiment thrown in for good measure.”

Eaton said that while their previous two albums had been a pretty clear statement of what they’re all about in a live setting, this time around it was more about spending more time experimenting with structures and sounds and the end result is a very eclectic record that, while still retaining much of the band’s frenetic energy, revels in dynamics – helped in no small part by the addition of producer Anthony Lycenko (Pete Murray, Busby Marou).

fter packing up stumps in their native Blue Mountains and heading to the metropolis of Melbourne, reggae/dub/soul nine-piece Kooyeh have certainly gone from strength to strength.

The band have just released their debut album ‘Soul Cleansing’ – a ridiculously uplifting slab that revels in thick horn lines and one of the tightest rhythm sections doing the rounds at the moment.

The band are on the cusp of embarking on their national ‘Mountain Top’ tour and singer Louie Michael told TE that punters could expect oodles of good energy when Kooyeh hit the stage.

“For me, a successful show is if people

can walk away with a really good energy and feeling like they have escaped the crap of the world for a little while,” he said.

“One of the things that I love about reggae is the sense of oneness and community and I hope, that there is always that connection of souls at our shows.”

The sense of oneness Michael is referring to extends beyond the stage, as well. After relocating to Melbourne, the band holed up in a house together and created a DIY studio in the garage out of old mattresses and a walled mish-mash of carpet where they self-produced the album. Michael said that the close-knit living conditions helped the band solidify their sound and their commitment to the Kooyeh cause.

Catch Kooyeh at the Wickham Park Hotel on Thursday, September 26.

“Come by boat & and enjoy our waterfront facilities, located on the shores of Cockle Creek”
