WHAT'S ON

ANGER MANAGEMENT Saturday, 7.30pm • 7Mate While the pairing of screen legend Jack Nicholson and perpetual buffoon Adam Sandler may seem as apt as chalk and cheese, in this guffaw fest, it definitely works.

After a case of air rage almost gets him thrown in jail, timid Dave Buznik (Sandler) is court-ordered to attend anger management sessions with a psychiatrist (Nicholson) with some very unorthodox methods.

It’s always great to see Jack work his funny bone.

JIMMY EAT WORLD Saturday, November 22 • Enmore Theatre Jimmy Eat World will be back in Australia this November in celebration of the ten year anniversary of their iconic album Futures After the band’s appearance Down Under earlier this year for a run of very successful festival sets, fans have been hanging for more.

Futures, the band’s fifth studio album, was released in 2004 and features some of the band’s most iconic tracks including Pain, which has achieved gold status in the US and became their second song to land the number one spot on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.

If the reaction from fans who were lucky enough to catch them earlier this year is anything to go by, the demand for these shows are going to be through the roof.

GODZILLA Out Now RATED M

While there are a few things that this reboot of the iconic 50s Japanese monster flick does right, there is quite a bit here that drags it well and truly down.

The good stuff. The titular monster looks fantastic - much more akin to the Ishiro Honda original than the ridiculous 1993 caricature. Remarkable restraint is also shown with regards to the monster - with Godzilla first appearing over an hour into the film which creates a palpable sense of tension. The bad stuff.

There is way too much exposition here and this, coupled with a confusing and overwrought plot, makes for quite the cinematic trudge.

JOE BONAMASSA DIFFERENT SHADES OF BLUE Out Now He may’ve released 11 albums over a long and successful career, but this one represents the first time US bluesman Joe Bonamassa has penned every track on an album, and the result is definitely worth the wait.

Coming from a more Bluesbreakersinspired UK take on the blues, Bonamassa has never been shy of letting his guitar light shine, and he does so here to great effect. It’s big, it’s bold, it’s brash, it’s bloody brilliant.

From horn soaked funk, moments of trad blues, some moodier moments and out and out blues rock and roll boogie, Bonamassa covers quite a bit of musical ground here all underpinned by his blistering fretwork. This guy is a virtuoso of the blues who deserves to be up there with Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck.

A musical Mount Everest One of the most frequently mentioned ‘favourite’ works of Bach is being brought to life in style this October. In a rare soloistic production, the singers of The Song Company and Chamber Ensemble, Ironwood, will combine to present Johann Sebastian Bach’s magnificent Mass in B Minor.

It was discovered long after the composer’s death, revived first in the 1830s, and re-discovered and re-interpreted by every generation since.

Widely regarded as the Mount Everest of vocal music, performing this work and preserving a sense of its grand design presents an enormous challenge for most choirs. Not ones to shy away from a challenge, The Song Company will present this epic work in a stripped back format - almost one per part in the strings, and one per part for woodwind, brass and singers.

The Song Company and Ironwood will perform at the Christ church Cathedral on Thursday, October 23.

LYN BOWTELL, KAREN O’SHEA & KATE BALLANTYNE

The party continues W hen moody Canadian rockers the Tea Party split, amid acrimonious circumstances, in 2005, they left millions of fans worldwide (a large proportion from Oz where their third album Edges of Twilight sold like the proverbial hotcakes) wailing and gnashing their teeth.

Thankfully, the breakup turned out to be a mere hiatus with the band reforming, firstly for a mammoth 2012 Aussie tour in 2012 and now, a new album The Ocean at the End - an atmospheric belter of a record that could very well be their best yet. Not only that, the band are set to kick off their fourteenth Australian tour in Perth this week. The love affair continues.

“It certainly is a love affair between the Tea Party and Australia,” bass guitarist and keys player Stuart Chatwood told TE. “Aside from Canada, Australia is the best place in the world - we even came down a week early so we can fall back in love with Australia all over again.”

With Oceans at the End garnering rave reviews pretty much everywhere with critics praising a kind of back-to-basics sound that does in no way diminish the album’s grandiose vision, Chatwood said that there was now a palpable sense of invigoration within the band.

“Getting back together was all about unfinished business,” he said.

“Our lives were all pulled out from under us in 2005, Jeff [Martin, frontman] kind of lost his way and lost faith in the band.

“We all finally realised that there might still be some magic there so we toured again in 2012 and it was great, I mean there were grown men in the crowds crying how can you ignore that.”

Not wanting to rush into anything, the band took a measured approach to the new album, writing over an 18 month period both in Byron Bay and in their home town of Windsor, Ontario.

“The writing process was really cool because we kinda just went back to basics and got together and jammed” he said.

“That was great because when you’re writing separately, it’s hard to get a sense of where the other guys want to take the idea, but this way there’s an immediacy to it which proved very fruitful.”

With Tea Party 2.0 very much energised, Chatwood said that they were keen to make hay while the sun shines.

“After Australia were doing 22 shows in Canada, and after that were planning to head back over to Europe, which is cool because we haven’t been there for ages.

We’re all really pumped to be doing it together again.”

However, there’s no denying that Denzel can act the hell out of a script, particularly in the action genre and he does a reasonable job here - it’s just that he wasn’t given much with which to work.

The great thing about the TV show was Edward Woodward and his British stoicism, taking out bad guys with a stiff upper lip and a Walther PPK but this is, at its heart a hamfisted vigilante flick in a slightly more lunkhead vein as Charles Bronson’s Death Wish series. If you’re looking for a decent “everyman takes on the bad guys” flick check out Clint Eastwood’s brilliant Gran Torino or the subtle, yet powerful Harry Brown starring Michael Caine, as this adds nothing at all to the genre.

entertainment

Given that I was quite the fan of the Edward Woodward TV show of the same name back in the day, and that the last paring between director Antoine Fuqua and star Denzel Washington was the gritty, Oscarwinning Training Day, I approached this reboot with a certain amount of anticipation.

Sadly, I was let down on all fronts.

Washington stars as a former black ops guy who has faked his death so he can work at a home hardware shop. Everything is all lathes and nails until a young street walker (Chloe Grace Moretz) shows up with bruises on her face. Before you can say “it’s time for some killin’”, Washington is waist deep in Russian gangsters, mindless violence and cliché.

At one point he walks away from a huge explosion - in slow-mo, no less.

ith their third EP, Own the Streets, kicking its fair share of goals around the traps thanks to three stomping singles - Krakow, Oceans and the latest Bad Side (Electrify), Newcastle’s brooding indie rockers, the Owls are set to make a welcome return to home soil after a solid three months on the road.

“It’s been going really great - it’s our biggest tour so far so we were a bit nervous going in but it’s been awesome,” bass player Joey Bourke told TE. “It’s also great to be wrapping up the tour at the Cambridge because we don’t really get to play in Newie that often.”

On the back of their brilliant sophomore EP, Swamp Love, the Owls piqued our interest with the jagged soundscapes of Krakow and the blues-hearted Ocean before unleashing EP number three in July this year. Recorded and mixed by Lachlan Mitchell (the Jezabels) the EP represents somewhat of a maturation of sound - something that, as Bourke explained was reflected in the measured approach to recording.

“It was a long time between Swamp Love and this one - about two years but we really wanted to make sure that

everything was fully formed and that we were happy with everything before we recorded,” he said.

With light looming larger at the end of the touring tunnel, Bourke said once they get off the road, they were keen to start gearing up to head into the studio again and hoped they could secure the services of Mitchell to man the desks.

“Yeah we’re definitely going to have a couple of months off after this - I think we deserve it,” he laughed.

“But after that we’re definitely keen on getting back to the studio, but it will more than likely be an album this time.”

The Dellies are still raging

STEPHEN BISSET

ack in 1958, when four young surfers from Sydney - Ian “Peewee” Wilson, Noel Widerberg, Brian Perkins and Warren Lucas took their love of rock and roll and doo-wop from the beaches of Bronte to the stage they were told “don’t give up your day job, this music thing isn’t going to last”.

Thankfully, they didn’t listen and, 55 years later one of Australia’s most iconic groups, the Delltones is still going strong as Hunter fans are sure to find out when they hit the region for two raging shows this weekend.

“We never really had a plan at all back in those days,” Wilson, the only original performer still with the Delltones, said.

“None of us thought it was going to be a long-term thing, because rock and roll was considered a bit of a fad, but luckily for us, it was.”

After honing their harmonising at various dances and socials around Sydney, the Dellies became regulars on such shows as Six O’Clock Rock and Bandstand propelling them to the top of the Aussie music tree and staying there ever since thanks to an infectious live show and such classic tracks as Get a Job, Hangin Five, Come a Little Bit Closer and Get a Little Dirt on Your Hands.

THE DELLTONES WALLSEND DIGGERS FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10 SOLDIERS POINT BOWLING CLUB SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11 “I think the main reason that we’ve lasted so long is the fact that there is a great lightheartedness to what we do,” he said.

“It’s a hell of a lot of fun and we never take ourselves too seriously,

“Also, I think that there’s always going to be a great deal of affection for the kind of music we play.”

In terms of the music they play, Wilson said that fans could expect the whole kit and caboodle when they come to town.

“It’s a show that is chock-a-block full of music that’ll move both your heart and your feet,” he said.

“The punters will definitely have a good time but I hesitate to call them punters because a Delltones show is never a punt.”

he motives behind terrorism and the inpact on its victims is the subject of the gripping new Stooged Theatre production - Checklist for an Armed Robber.

Written by Newcastle’s own Vanessa Bates, Checklist for an Armed Robber is set in 2002, where a young man rehearses for his first armed robbery of a book shop in Newcastle. On the other side of the world, Chechen rebels have taken siege of the Moscow Theatre, demanding liberation.

One is a local, small-time theft while the other is an international political crisis , but both are born of a similar futility and powerlessness to be heard.

Jumping seamlessly from Moscow to Newcastle, these real events are told through a sensitive and, at times wry perspective from both ends of the gun.

PERCH CREEK LIZOTTE’S LAMBTON SAT, OCTOBER 11 Hodgkins said the album represented a new phase for the band as it was more of a collaborative effort. The band holed up in a beach house on the Mornington Penninsula to write the bulk of the album and Hodgkins said she couldn’t be happier with the result.

“It’s so exciting because it was really the first time we had collaborated on writing together,” she said.

“I was quite sceptical in the beginning, as we’re all very opinionated and have our own musical tastes but it was just so successful - I’m still a little bit shocked actually.”

hey may’ve literally just returned from a gruelling three-and-a-half month tour of Europe, Canada, and the US, but, with nary time to scratch themselves “psychedelic jug band’ Perch Creek (or The Perch Creek Family Jug Band) are gearing up for another run on Aussie roads.

“We only got back 48 hours ago and we’re just about to hit the road again in Oz -but we just love touring,” Camilla Hodgkins told TE The band - made up of siblings Camilla, Christi, Eileen and Lear Hodgkins and James Chandler - are currently hawking their latest long-player Jumping on the Highwire - an album steeped in harmony driven folk, roots, gospel and, of course, jug band.

Originally from Perch Creek on the NSW North Coast, The Perch Creek Family Jugband began life as a street jug band led by their eccentric father, Bob Hodgkins.

“Dad and I were playing, with some of his adult friends, around the Perch Creek area and then my brother Lear started learning the drums and everything just kind of fell into place Since relocating to Melbourne two years ago, the band has gone from strength to strength and

“Also, with Bloom, I spend a lot of time with the band before we recorded making sure we had everything down beforehand, which freed us up for a lot more experimentation in the studio, so there’s a fair bit of strangeness on there - strange rhythmic parts - but it’s a good kind of strangeness,” she laughed.

t just nineteen years of age prodigious songwriter Sahara Beck has already crammed a fair amount in.

Releasing her first album, Volume One, at just fifteen, Beck first grabbed the attention of the nation’s tastemakers with her 2013, eclectic folk-driven EP You Could Be Happy - a release spearheaded by two strikingly mature singles in Bang Bang Bang and C’Mon Man You’re Dead.

That EP scored Beck a shedload of airplay around the traps and , in a case of striking while the iron is hot, she’s out on the road again to promote brand new follow-up EP, Bloom - although there have been a few hurdles along the way.

“I’m almost in the middle of the tour now, but I actually had to cancel a couple of shows because I came down with a pretty bad case of the chicken pox - I’m all good now, though,” Beck told TE. With many pundits declaring Bloom to be her best and most fully realised work to date, Beck said she had done a fair bit of growing up between releases - something reflected in the approach to writing and the content itself.

“I am in a very different stage in my life now than when I wrote You Could Be Happy - while not much time has passed, I guess you could say I’ve fit a fair bit in
