hile it certainly doesn’t hold a candle to the unabashed undergraduate hilarity of the original instalment in the franchise there is still plenty to like in this, the third ‘Hangover’ film.

While it may rely on many of the tropes and set pieces that made the first instalment so successful, this, unlike many other sequels, executes this revisionism well.

In the aftermath of the death of Alan’s (Zach Galifinakis) father, the wolfpack decide to take Alan to get treated for his mental issues. But, as is the case in with these things, everything quickly goes pear-shaped on the way to the hospital as the wolfpack is assaulted and Doug is kidnapped. Now they must find Mr. Chow (Ken Jeong, in another show stealing performance) again in order to surrender him to the gangster who kidnapped Doug in order to save him.

iven the title of Korn’s eleventh (really?) album, you’d think that there would be some modicum of musical adventurism here – maybe Johnathan Davis getting his inde folk on or some such.

However, instead of any paradigm shifting musical goings on, what we have here is the same, or very similar numetal dreck that was offered up on their first album.

“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” is the order of the day here, with the familiar drone of soulless chuggachugga guitars wrapped lazily around splashes of electronic and insular “tortured artist” vocals.

While this is certainly, in now way worse than anything Limp Bizkit haqve released since, whenever, this latest release from the kings of nu-metal offers very little in the way of originality or interest.

Yawn.

fter a triumphant stint here, earlier this year, as part of the Soundwave festival, it seems that the Offspring’s love affair with Australia is far from over, with the US punk rock behemoth set to storm Sydney once again, this time as headliners of the Vans Warped tour this December.

“Yeah it does feel like we were just down there, but then again, Australia is such an awesome place, and the crowds are just great, so it hardly feels like work for us,” guitarist Noodles (or Kevin Wasserman to the taxman) told TE down the line from his home in Huntington Beach, California.

Anyone who caught their Soundwave show would know that they literally raised the roof with an all-killer-no-filler, high energy set that put a lot of the other bands, many years their junior, to shame.

Noodles said that punters could expect a similar vibe at Vans Warped and maybe with a few surprises thrown in.

“We’re not really sure what’s going in the set as yet but I think it’s going to be a pretty comprehensive run through of our career – it just depends on how much time they give us,” he laughed.

“It can be frustrating when you get to where we are, to choose from so many songs, but we might be throwing in some stuff that we haven’t played in quite a while so it should be a fun show.”

Considered, along with the likes of Green Day, as one of the best-selling punk rock acts of all time, The Offspring Continues on page 30

audiences (subsequent albums such as ‘Ixnay on the Hombre’ and ‘Americana’ proving they were no flash in the pan) he posited that it might be due to the fact that the band straddled a fine line between the socially “right-on” punk of the likes of Bad Religion and the more “let’s have a party” punk rock frivolity of bands like the Adolescents and the Dickies.

“Yeah, man I have no clue,” he said.

“I just fell in love with aggressive melodic music with that whole ‘hate the world’ thing going on and the stuff which had a more funny feel and we tried to combine the two in The Offspring. It’s hard to say, though.

Maybe I’ve just been too close to it for so long, it’s kind of hard to put a finger on.”

One thing is for sure, though, and that’s the fact that the influence of punk rock is so ingrained in the world of popular music that it can be felt, either musically, aesthetically or philosophically in most genres. – something that the Offspring definitely had a hand in.

“Out of that success of the bands from the punk scene around 1994 was that a lot of other bands started incorporating aspects of punk into what they do,” he said.

“Now you can kind of see punk influencing so many genres - maybe not directly but there is definitely a lot more of that punk rock “who gives a f***”attitude even in pop. I mean, you can definitely see that attitude in someone like Miley Cyrus.

Yeah, Miley Cyrus is a little bit punk rock.”

Now in their 20th year the band are showing no signs of slowing down with album number ten now in the works.

“Yeah, man we’re having a blast at the moment – I’d say we’re playsing to the best crowds of our career,” he said.

“We are definitely going to be doing a new album – we’ve recorded a couple of songs already. We aren’t with a label at the moment so everyone king of feels really libertated and excited about the future – a little scared but very liberated.”

Catch the Offspring when they headline the Sydney leg of Vans Warped at the Bangaroo Precinct on Sunday, December 1 alongside Parkway Drive, Simple Plan, New Found Glory, Hatebreed, Tonight Alive and many more.

have sold more than 40 million albums world-wide.

After releasing two blistering and well received albums, ‘The Offspring’ and ‘Ignition’, the band exceeded all expectations with their third album, ‘Smash’. Containing such classic tracks as ‘Self Esteem’ and ‘Come Out and Play’, ‘Smash’ along with Green Day’s ‘Dookie’ took punk rock from garages and small clubs to the heights of the Billboard charts. The album is now regarded, in some circles, as one of the most influential punk rock albums of all time.

Noodles said that while no one in the band was expecting the album to explode like it did, the fact that they were no overnight sensations helped immeasurably in keeping their feet on the ground.

“Yeah, we all thought it was a f***ing great record but there was no way any of us could have known just how big it was going to get – it still surprises me today,” he said.

“Although, having done this for ten years before ‘Smash’ came out, once all of the success came it didn’t affect us – I mean we were the same band before ‘Smash’ as we were after and we didn’t change anything about the band whatsoever to get there.”

Given that the band were one of the first to make the leap from relative Southern Californian punk rock obscurity to finding their faces on the covers of magazines and on MTV there was always going to be criticism from the insular punk rock scene that the band had sold out.

However, Noodles said he always looked on this punk rock elitism as a source of bemusement.

“Yeah all of that stuff was a little bit frustrating - I was kind of switching between laughing at them all to wanting to attack them,” he laughed.

“It was kind of funny because a lot of these people crying “sell-out” were these new punk rock kids who had been around for, like, five minutes, while we had all been involved in the punk rock scene for twenty years – it was all pretty funny, really.” Noodles said that while he had no idea why the Offspring clicked so well with

t seems as though the “difficult second album” syndrome that has plagued so many bands has passed Rockhampton-born outfit Busby Marou well and truly by, with their sophomore effort ‘Farewell To Fitzroy’ taking the gloriously nuanced folk pop and nimble storytelling, that was central to their debut, to the next level with a much larger and complete album, both in sound and scope.

While originally known as a duo, Tom Busby and Jeremy Marou have fleshed out their sound with a full band on ‘Farewell to Fitzroy’ and Marou told TE that, given the band had evolved quite considerably since the duo days, the pair wanted the album to reflect this fact.

“It is a lot different to the debut – it’s a lot fuller,” he said.

“For us, it was all about the live sound, we didn’t want to be using heaps of overdubs and stuff like that, we just wanted it to be really raw and full- we spent a lot of time getting that formula right.”

To help capture the live vibe, the band headed over to Nashville and enlisted the services of producer Brad Jones (Missy Higgins, Justin Townes Earle) and

Marou said, Jones’ playing background made proceedings that much easier.

“He is a muso by trade – a bass player – so he was really good a t helping us in constructing the songs,” he said.

“Also, and the big thing for us, was that he really knew how to record live.

“I mean we weren’t even playing to a click track.”

Aside from bringing in their touring band to flesh out their sound in the studio, the pair also enlisted the services of some “heavy friends”” to add even more musical gravitas to the album, including arguably Australia’s greatest songwriter Don Walker who co-wrote the track ‘Luck’’ with Busby and legendary Hawaiian kona guitarist and pedal steel player Al Perkins (Flying Burrito Brothers, Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Emmylou Harris).

“Yeah working with Al was a massive buzz – I mean, he played on “Abby Road”,” Marou said.

“It was really cool because he is very Christian so we were told that we weren’t allowed to swear while he was in the studio, but he just turned up, sat down and played some of the most beautiful slide I’ve ever heard – we was amazing.”

Catch Busby Marou when they play at the Small Ballroom on Friday, November 8.

to be a never-ending tour.

Gregory said he he fell into the game quite by accident.

“After I had my third back operation my surgeon told me that I wouldn’t be able to lift more that three kilograms.

“So I ended up enrolling in a tenweek comedy course.

“The guy running it said I should give stand-up a crack and the first time I did I never felt more alive.”

orn out of an intense love of rhythm, Chester Darvey is one drummer – Jae Nelson and one DJ - Matteo Verde, who will make you dance harder than you ever have.

Bridging the divide between live bands and DJs, Chester Darvey will have your undivided attention from the first note to the last.

Matteo’s love of music first manifested itself when he Dj’d for his HSC music performance and achieved a score in the top 10 per cent of the state. He also has a wealth of stage experience well beyond his years.

Nelson has been an active member of the Newcastle scene for several years, appeared on the Big Day Out stage as well as grabbing support slots with some of Australia’s mostloved bands.

One thing’s for sure, you can expect a high-energy, raise the roof performance from these guys.

aving three young children, these days I find myself judging a restaurant, firstly by their kids’ menu then by the level of entertainment they can offer to maintain parents’ sanity.

The new Wild Brumby Pokolbin restaurant passes with flying colours.

The added bonus here is a limousine pick-up and drop-off service for dinner bookings within the Pokolbin area. The children were intrigued when told that a “big car” would be arriving to take us to dinner.

The service is friendly and personal from the moment you walk in. Pencils and colouring-in paper are on the table before you know it. Activities such as the oversized chess set in the garden to the karaoke room, ensured the kids made only fleeting visits back to our table to devour their fish and chips, nachos and spaghetti. They were also well pleased with their three flavours of ice cream with marshmallows and sprinkles.

I chose the Hunter scotch fillet steak from the Hot Rock Lava Stone selection. The volcanic lava stone is heated to 440 degrees for you to cook your meal to your liking. The steak was top-quality, extremely tender and was served with smashed potato, corn on the cob and beans. There were also two delicious dipping sauces – garlic soy and a spicy tomato salsa.

My wife chose the half-rack of twicecooked American-style pork spare ribs in a spicy barbecue and plum marinade and thoroughly enjoyed the generous, tender serving.

We were also offered a taste of each of the six flavoured schnapps on offer: sour apple, pink lady apple, mango, beach, butterscotch and devil’s tongue – containing chilli.

Accommodation is available with a feature being rooms in many different themes such as the Love Boat, Casablanca, Moulin Rouge and French and Italian bordellos.

Live entertainment from 5pm in the tranquil garden setting tops off a great evening and it’s clear this family-friendly restaurant will be a welcome addition to the vineyards dining scene.

here are not many bands that manage to consistently cram as much fun into their music videos as high energy power-poppers Bluejuice.

Whether it’s posing as religious zealots in Pitt Street in the video for their breakthrough track, ‘Vitriol’, taking on competitive jump-ropers for ‘Broken Leg’ or pashing a granny in ‘Act Yr Age’, the Sydneysiders sure know how to make an entertaining clip and their latest soulinfluenced offering, ‘SOS’ is no different.

The band’s most recent visual foray finds Jake Stone, Stavros Yiannoukas and Jamie Cibej ridding the world of douchebags in a ‘Ghostbusters’esque adventure that’s a relative who’s-who Australian media industry douchebaggery (see Merrick Watts, triple j’s Tom and Alex and the Australian Idol host formerly known as Andrew G, Osher Günsberg).

The original concept for the video came from music video director, Sam Bennet, who worked with the band on most of their previous videos, but with Bennet now LA-based and a limited budget the band enlisted Sparkadia

bassist Nick Rabone and his partner Christian Heinrich to pull the idea together.

“We came up with the idea of a ‘Ghostbusters’ ripoff and we really liked the idea of busting assholes but then turning into assholes and having to bust ourselves,” Stone told TE. “For Bluejuice fun videos are just the way we have to do things.”

While singles are normally a likely indication that an album is in the works, Stone said a new Bluejuice record was still a way off.

“We sort of agreed that we wouldn’t make a record for a least a little while because it took so long to do ‘Company’ and it was such a big effort,” he said.

“We’re definitely going to put out singles.

“There’s one called ‘Astronaut’ that will come out next and I actually wrote that when I was about 21, so it’s a very old song.”

Stone said ‘Astronaut’ started life as a ballad and has since grown into a garagey, UK funk, soul sounding track that’s “a little bit Rick Astley”, but he said he still wasn’t sure what the finished product would sound like.

Catch Bluejuice on the Fat as Butter Festival lineup at Camp Shortland this Saturday, October 26.

fter a highly successful run with their punk rock heroes, the Descendents, earlier this year, seminal Australian pop punk outfit Bodyjar are back with another sharp and hook laden slab of pop punk, ‘Role Models’.

It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything from Bodyjar, with the band calling it quits in 2009 (a couple of oneoff reunion shows notwithstanding) and frontman Cameron Baines told TE that the time was definitely right for the band to throw some more music into the ether.

“I guess we just got to the point where we decided that there was no way we could make another album,” he said.

“We had basically spent too much time on the treadmill and we were burnt out – which tends to happen after doing this for

15 years. “Anyway, when the opportunity came for us to tour with the Descendents, it was just too good to pass up – those guys are like my favourite f***king band in the whole world. I remember writing to Bill Stevenson [who also produced Bodyjar’s first album] when I was a kid and everything so it was great to have the opportunity to play with them.”

Listening to ‘Role Models’ it is abundantly clear that this is a band that isn’t just another band going through the motions – this is a passionate and finely crafted record that fully deserves to stand alongside such earlier efforts as ‘How it Works’ (featuring the smash hit ‘Not The Same’), ‘No Touch Red’ and ‘Rimshot’.

The band enlisted the services of Shihad drummer Tom Larkin to produce the record, who has worked with the likes of The Getaway Plan, Fur Patrol and Calling All Cars and Baines said that Larkin was invaluable in whipping the songs into shape.

“Generally, all of the basics of the songs were written and demoed before we started and once Tom came on board we spent, like, a solid week in the studio just playing the songs while Tom sat in the control room just listening. He is just so f***ing awesome at arrangements and basically trimming the fat.”

Now that the album is out and doing it’s things can we expect to see Bodyjar hammering the nation’s highways for the foreseeable future?

“I honestly think that we’re going to keep shows to a minimum and keep things a little bit more sporadic,” he said.

“There’s talk of some shows in Japan and Brazil but we’re pretty keen to play it by ear – let’s see what happens.”

Catch Bodyjar when they kick off their ‘Role Models’ tour at the Cambridge Hotel on Thursday, October 31 alongside Luca Brasi.

lright hep cats and kittens, hang on to your hats because, this Halloween, Canada’s psychobilly king Evil Elvis will be blowing the doors off the Wickham Park Hotel.

This will be Elvis’ fourth trip down under and he told TE that he couldn;t wait to bring his brooding rock and roll stylings back Down Under.

“Hell yes,” he told TE. “I’ve been so lucky to have been able to come to Australia where I have my biggest audiences so far – I love the country and the best music fans in the world.”

After first stepping onstage at age 17 with Canadian punk outfit The Assassins in 1979, Elvis (otherwise known as KC Carlisle) has been flying the punk rock and rockabilly flag ever since in myriad bands before stepping out on his own in 1999.

There’s no doubt that rockabilly and all of its associated subgenres (punkabilly, psychobilly, horrorbilly et al) have enjoyed quite a resurgence, especially in Australia over the past decade and Elvis said much of this was due to the sense of humour inherent in the music.

“I think your country in particular have

embraced the genre more than any other countries,” he said.

“Musically it’s perfect – it has melody and also speed. If it’s done right, a little bit of danger, too. All music has been done before and we psycho fans just understand that a bit more than other simpletons. We take what has been done before and add what we want to make it ours. Plus, the sense of humour in psychobilly is awesome.”

With definite nods to the likes of The Cramps and Reverend Horton Heat, Evil Elvis is all about tubthumping double bass, high octane riffs and oodles of rock and roll swagger from the regal frontman. Elvis said that punters could expect nothing less than a band giving it their all when they hit the stage.

“I’ve been doin’ this singer thing for over 30 years now and I’’ve gained a reputation as one of – if not THE – best frontmen in my country. They don’t call me Evil Elvis for nothing.”

Catch Evil Elvis at the Wickham Park Hotel on Thursday, October 31.
