n this acutely observed character study from director Robert Zemeckis (‘Back to the Future’ trilogy, ‘Forrest Gump’) Denzel Washington proves, yet again, just why he is one of the most respected actors in Hollywood. Quite a slow burner, ‘Flight’ tells the story of commuter airline pilot Whip Whitaker (Washington). During a routine flight, things start to go pear shaped with the plane and, staring death in the face, Whip crashes the plane, managing to save nearly everyone on board. In the wake of is heroic actions, Whip discovers that he could face criminal charges as a blood test, taken while he was in hospital, reveals levels of alcohol and cocaine in his system. An investigation into the incident is launched and Whip is forced to confront his demons. With a great supporting cast including Don Chedle and John Goodman, ‘Flight’ could easily be one of Washington’s finest performances in recent memory.
t would be pretty naive to think that Ozzy Osbourne’s first outing in 35 years with the iconic Black Sabbath was going to achieve the same hard rock/heavy metal righteousness as ‘Sabbath Bloody Sabbath’, ‘Master of Reality’ et al. That being said, Ozzy and co have pulled out a darn fine album in ‘13’ with moments that are reminiscent of their earlier greatness. The biggest disappointment here is the absence of the blistering drums of Bill Ward, but Rage Against The Machine drummer Brad Wilk makes a pretty decent fist of things. The lurching eight-minute sludgeheavy blues rocker ‘Damaged Soul’ comes close to being the album’s finest moment while the thunderous ‘Loner’ also deserves a mention. While probably not the best place to start for newcomers, ‘13’ still deserves to sit in the Sabbath pantheon.

ow that we’ve passed the time in which Roland Emmerich’s (‘Independence Day’, ‘The Day After Tomorrow’) apocalyptic drama is set, we can sit back and watch with a sense of ease. Dr. Adrian Helmsley, part of a worldwide geophysical team investigating the effect on the earth of radiation from unprecedented solar storms, learns that the earth’s core is heating up. He warns US President Thomas Wilson that the crust of the earth is becoming unstable and that without proper preparations for saving a fraction of the world’s population, the entire race is doomed. Meanwhile, writer Jackson Curtis stumbles on the same information. While the world’s leaders race to build “arks” to escape the impending cataclysm, Curtis struggles to find a way to save his family. Meanwhile, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes of unprecedented strength wreak havoc around the world. Sure, it’s a cheesy, but there is enough in here, especially the special effects, to make for worthwhile viewing.

‘Dawn of the Dead’, then much of that was due to Goblin’s spooky synth-driven soundscapes. Further, the classics ‘Suspiria’, ‘Tenebrae’ and ‘Deep Red’ (‘Profundo Rosso’), from Italian giallo master Dario Argento were helped along in the spook stakes by Goblin’s foreboding scores. Across the course of a career that has spanned three decades, Goblin have been providing the spine tingling soundtrack to the celluloid nightmares of a generation of horror movie lovers. If you like your music with oodles of atmosphere, don’t miss Goblin.

all those years with touring, and a lot of that touring was sort of miserable and lonely, I don’t know...touring is obviously not all glamorous,� she reveals. “Keir [Nuttall, long-time collaborator and partner] and I were starting to get sick of each other having spent three years in the same room and then we came back to Toowoomba to move into a house of his grandparents’, who had both recently died, and the house was filled with all of their old things and photographs and furniture and kitchen stuff and Keir’s grandad’s car was still in the garage...and I think that was really
what coloured the album dark, that sense of mortality kind of hanging over the writing process. “I guess there are elements of [that darkness] but there is more joy in the brand new stuff. “‘Nightflight’, I love it and I do think it is the best album I have done, but it is quite dark and melancholy, so I think I am after some kind of release on the next one.� Miller-Heidke told TE she would be giving fans a taste of the tracks from the new album, due out early next year, as well as material from ‘Nightflight’ and old favourites when she passes through Newcastle next Friday night for her show at Newcastle City Hall. “It will just be me and Keir,� says MillerHeidke. “He co-writes everything with me so he plays guitar and I play a bit of piano as well. “It’s very much stripped back but ‘Nightflight’ was kind of written with that sort of configuration in mind. “We’ve been doing it like this for a long time, particularly on the Ben Folds tour we did in America. “We did close to 100 gigs with him, so we feel very much like a well-oiled machine, Keir and I. “We will be bringing out that new stuff on this tour as well so there will be some brand new stuff that no-one has heard.� Catch Kate Miller-Heidke when she plays at Newcastle City Hall on Friday, June 28 with spruced-up country boy Franky Walnut supporting.

hether you love or loathe her unique, operatic voice, there is no denying Brisbane-born Kate Miller-Heidke is one of the hardest working women in Australian music right now. Since releasing her third solo record â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Nightflightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in April 2012, the songstress has embarked on extensive touring through the US, Canada and Europe, culminating in support slots for the newly re-formed Ben Folds Five on the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s massive 80 date American tour and kicked off 2013 by appearing via hologram in the English National Operaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production of Dutchman Michel Van Der Aaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sci-fi opera â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sunken Gardenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in London.

re you part of a band that never really got over that initial joy of bashing out a couple of tunes in the garage on the weekends? Then the ABC has something that you’ll want to sink your teeth into. Exhumed, an ABC event that will run across all ABC radio stations, ABC online, ABC Open and ABC TV, aims to find the best band you’ve never heard of and to applaud those who are out there making music just for the sheer fun of it. Exhumed is not for has-beens. It’s not for wanna-bes. It’s for never-weres. Entries to the competition open on June 24 and band members must be over 30 years old and in a band of two or more people and can play any music genre. The process will be covered in the TV series which will premiere on ABC1 from November 14. In addition, an information session will be held at the Cambridge Hotel on Sunday, June 30 from 1pm sharp. For more information, visit www. abc.net.au/exhumed.

t may’ve been a long time between drinks for Central Coast-born rockers Something With Numbers with their last album ‘Engineering the Soul’ dropping in 2008, but with a brand-spanking new album hot off the presses and a national tour about to kick off, the band are definitely looking forward to making up for lost time. “Yeah it’s going to be good,” drummer Lachlan West told TE. “It’s a really good chance for us to give the fans a taste of what we’ve been working on. We did a little east coast run earlier this year, which showcased a lot of the songs off the new album, but it’s always good to get out again.” Since going quiet after ‘Engineering The Soul’, the band has gone through a few changes, namely the replacement of guitarist Lachlan Scott with Trent Crawford and West’s inclusion into the Something With Numbers fold in place of original drummer Dave McBeath. West said the new album ‘Eleven Eleven’ had reinvigorated the band, largely due to the “absence makes the heart grow fonder” factor. “I think that, because the band hasn’t done much touring or anything for a
while, we’re all a lot more tolerant of each other on the road because we haven’t been in each other’s pockets,” he said. The latest album is still rooted firmly in the same frenetic punk rock-esque territory of previous albums, but this time around, even moreso than their last effort, many more influences have crept into the band’s oeuvre as well as a newfound sense of space that brings an even greater depth to proceedings. The band enlisted the services of ARIA-nominated producer Lachlan Mitchell (The Jezabels, The Whitlams), who produced their debut album, ‘Etiquette’, for the sessions. “Yeah Lachlan is a really good guy and he managed to create a very relaxed atmosphere and he was really nurturing with our ideas – he was a pleasure to work with,” West said. While he has been busy working into the Something With Numbers fold, West is almost as busy as a onearmed drummer after he also took on drumming duties for Sydney rockers, The Vines. “It has been a pretty busy twelve months for me,” he laughed. Catch Something With Numbers when they play at the Cambridge Hotel on Friday, June 28.

ith the touring cycle supporting his starkly honest and deeply engaging debut solo album, ‘King of the Sun’ about to wrap up, former Novocastrian singer and songwriter Jamie Hay is already making tentative plans for his next project. “Yeah, it’s been out for a little under a year now and I’ve managed to do a hell of a lot of touring on the back of it. People seem to be taking to it so yeah, I’m stoked,” he said. Hay also said now that he had been touring the album pretty consistently since its release, he was looking to wind back his road commitments while he concentrates on a couple of new projects. “I’m going to become a father later in the year so that will be a pretty large focus
of my life,” he said. “I’ve started working on a couple of new songs as well, but I really don’t want to rush them. When I’ve got a few songs that I’m completely happy with, I’ll look at getting back into the studio.” Cutting his teeth in Newcastle with bands such as Stolen Youth and seminal hardcore outfit Conation before relocating to Melbourne and spreading his musical wings in A Death In The Family and Fear Like Us, Hay said the prospect of stepping out from behind the safety net of a band was, at first, both intimidating and exhilarating. “It was intimidating but I’ve always been interested in challenging myself musically and playing acoustic is something I’ve wanted to do for ages – even before the Conation days. The first time I played by myself I felt as though it was the first show I’d ever played.” Catch Jamie Hay when he plays at the Lass O’Gowrie on Friday, June 21.

hen it comes to Australian entertainers who could be described as a ‘jack of all trades’, you would have to look pretty far and wide to find someone who is more qualified for the title than Jon English. Since stepping out from the orchestral rock band Sebastian Hardie in the early 70s, English has become one of Australia’s most-loved entertainers with 16 albums and a formidable list of musical theatre and television credits that includes his iconic portrayal as Judas in the Australian production of ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’, and ‘The Mikado’, ‘Pirates of Penzance’, ‘All Together Now’ and ‘Against The Wind.’ Now, the iconic performer is heading back to Newcastle to celebrate 30 years since the release of his seminal live double album recorded with the Foster Brothers (Peter Deacon, John Dallimore, John Coker, Keith Kerwin and Greg Henson) ‘Beating The Boards’ and English said he couldn’t wait to return to the rock-friendly city. “I always love playing in Newcastle because it has always been such a great rock and roll town – always has and always will be,” he told TE. From 1981, when English recruited the band for a tour of Germany and Scandinavia, until the release of ‘Beating The Boards’ in 1983, he also released the albums ‘Some People’ and ‘Jokers and Queens’ as
well as touring as the support act for Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers. English said while he was loathe to overanalyse what it was about the line-up that clicked so well, he said be believed it was the ease with which everything came together. “I guess it was just the groove we created,” he said. “Everybody was playing their own bits and it all just fit together so nicely. We were very creative and wrote some fantastic songs together. I really loved working with these guys.” English, who said his biggest break came with his role of Judas, said he felt very fortunate that he was still performing all these years later. “I basically went to the audition because I wanted to know what the audition process was like – I had no expectations,” he said. “I’m just very lucky that I can still make a living at this – if I was an English teacher, which is what I’d be doing if I didn’t audition for ‘Superstar’, I’d still be doing am-dram and playing in rock and roll bands on the weekend – it’s just what I love to do.” Catch Jon English and the Foster Brothers when they play at Wests Lambton on Wednesday, July 3.

he impossibly catchy power pop of Brisbane five-piece Hey Geronimo and the synth-pop strains of Melbourne electro meisters Strange Talk are set to blow the doors off Newcastle’s newest venue, the Small Ballroom, when the two bands bring their ‘Strange Geronimo’ tour to Newcastle this weekend. Pete Kilroy, vocalist and guitarist for Hey Geronimo, said he was looking forward to getting out on the road with their Melbourne peers, even if they may’ve felt like they deserved a break. “Yeah we’re all really pumped,” he said. “Although it’s funny because we had just come home from the Presidents of the USA tour and we were just exhausted. We were looking forward to just putting our feet up for a bit but, after a while of doing that we found that we just couldn’t wait to get back out on the road again.” Hey Geronimo, who could be described as an indie rock supergroup with members coming from the likes of Blame Ringo, Montpellier and the Boat People, are certainly making hay while the sun shines. After pricking up various industry ears with their self-titled debut
EP (produced by Matt Redlich – Ball Park Music – and Brisbane uber-producer Magoo), the band are wasting no time getting their music out there. They are currently in the studio recording a followup EP and album at the same time. “We’re recording a lot of new tracks at the moment with Magoo again and Sam Cromack from Ball Park Music and we’ll more than likely release an EP in the not too distant future and then the album will come out,” Kilroy explained. “For people who are familiar with the current EP, the new one won’t be too radical a departure, but the album will be a lot more introspective – we didn’t want 40 minutes of music that was in your face – we wanted some light and shade in there.” Anyone who is au fait with the band’s ear-worm capable upbeat indie tunes could have a fair expectation that these guys like to have their fair share of fun onstage – and they’d be right. “The whole idea with Hey Geronimo is just to have a bit of fun,” Kilroy said. “In our previous bands, maybe we took things a little too seriously so we’re just keen to get out there and have a good time.” Catch Hey Geronimo and Strange Talk when the ‘Strange Geronimo’ tour rolls into town at the Small Ballroom, 139 Maitland Road, Islington on Friday, June 21.
