Office Jukebox

Late night TV a decade ago was a bizarre wasteland of betting shows starring ex-Big Brother contestants, infomercials and the diamond in the rough, Freaks And Geeks. The cult TV show was culled before its first season concluded on NBC but the honest look at American high school life in the early ‘80s was always too good for network TV. I discovered it late at night on Channel 9 thanks to insomnia and was instantly hooked. It was the best show about high school since Degrassi Junior High, but one you could still enjoy way into your adult life. Since it ended, Freaks And Geeks has become a cult phenomenon and its producers (Judd Apatow and Paul Feig) have become major movie directors and producers while its cast, including cover star Seth Rogen, have mostly carved out a rich Hollywood career. Freaks And Geeks is referenced in Seth Rogen’s latest film This Is The End (written and directed by Rogen and his childhood mate Evan Goldberg) and Rip It Up got to fire one F&G question to the man with the most recognisable laugh this side of Eddie Murphy. This Is The End also stars fellow Freaks And Geeks alumni James Franco and Jason Segel (briefly). Read Rip It Up’s interview with Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg on p9 and then flip through the pages to read about Bliss N Eso, (p11), the return of Format (p20) and all the local scene’s information and news on p30. But for all those who couldn’t sleep a decade ago and were offered a brief respite from the pain by Freaks And Geeks, the Seth Rogen interview is for you.

en Seth Rogn & Eva Goldberg ht by David Knig

This Is The End The Apocalypse doesn’t seem like a comedy scenario that would bring the laughs but for Seth Rogen and his collaborator Evan Goldberg the best comedy ideas aren’t what you’d exactly call ‘traditional’.

“

We have no use for traditional comedy anymore,” Rogen jokes. “If it seems exciting and crazy and generally if people hear the idea and say ‘that could be terrible’, to us it’s a good idea.” Rogen and Goldberg’s comedy about the end of the world, This Is The End, definitely fits into the aforementioned ‘that could be terrible’ bracket. Written and directed by the duo, it features Rogen and his Hollywood pals ( James Franco, Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, etc) playing themselves (and brilliantly taking the piss out of themselves and the biz) as they deal with the Apocalypse, which interrupts their star-studded partying. The celebrity cast either play characters similar to who they are in real life, which is the case for the onscreen Seth Rogen and his co-star Jay Baruchel, while others such as Franco, Hill and Danny McBride play heightened versions of their public persona. Then there is the usually sweet Michael Cera (Arrested Development and Juno), as the fresh-faced actor is portrayed as a coked out sleazy Hollywood arsehole, obviously a million miles removed from the real Michael Cera. Goldberg says all the actors were down to make fun of themselves. “That was the shocker, they were all down to shit all over themselves and make themselves look as bad as humanly possible. And bless them for it.” They took each actor on a case-by-case basis when deciding how their friends would portray themselves on screen.

“There was no real rhyme or reason, it was basically whatever seemed to be the most entertaining,” Rogen says. “For some guys it just seemed funnier to play into how you expect them to be and for others it just seemed funnier to not do that and we really just took it guy by guy.” The studio was hesitant with this idea of celebrities (others in the film include Rihanna, Emma Watson, Danny McBride and Craig Robinson) playing themselves even though it’s been done in indie films such as Michael Winterbottom’s The Trip and TV comedies such as The Larry Sanders Show, Extras and Curb Your Enthusiasm. “People had played themselves [on TV] but no one had done in it a major motion picture in such a significant way – in a special effects disaster film – and it just spooked them [the studio],” Goldberg says. Rogen and Goldberg are childhood friends who have been writing scripts as a team since they were teenagers in Canada. The writing partnership hit pay dirt with 2007’s Superbad, which starred Jonah Hill and Michael Cera as two high school chums named, funnily enough, Seth and Evan, and introduced Christopher Mintz-Plasse (AKA McLovin) to the world. A hilarious and honest look at growing up, friendship and girls, the film (produced by Judd Apatow) continued the Apatow stable’s run of mixing gross out humour with heart just like Apatow’s own directorial efforts The 40 Year Old Virgin and

Knocked Up. The duo followed Superbad with the stoner classic Pineapple Express (which gets a short home movie faux sequel in This Is The End) before a couple of missteps with the big budget The Green Hornet and The Watch. Rogen’s career with Apatow began many years earlier as an actor in Apatow and Paul Feig’s Freak and Geeks, a funny and genuinely moving look at high school life. The cult show was cut after one season and Rogen followed Apatow to another short-lived TV show Undeclared before appearing in The 40 Year Old Virgin and starring in Knocked Up. Like other members of Apatow’s clique ( Jason Segel and Kristen Wiig), Rogen is more than just an actor. He is also a stand-up and writer, and now, with This Is The End, a director. Based on the short film Jay And Seth Vs The Apocalypse, This Is The End furthers Rogen and Goldberg’s standing as a major writing/ directing/producer team. It took the duo a few years to flesh out the short film idea into a feature. “We never say what kind of apocalypse it was in the original,” Rogen explains. “So that took a long time to decide exactly what type of world ending event it should be. Once we settled on that it took us a long time to figure out where a movie like that should go, basically. How do you end a movie about the world ending in a satisfying, uplifting way, you know?” Without giving away a major spoiler, the end is uplifting and in Rogen and Goldberg’s words “cheesy”. Surprisingly, a character absent from This Is The End is Evan Goldberg, as he once again lets his famous collaborator take the onscreen glory. “I’m a real shitty actor or we think I’d be a shitty actor, so we’ve never endeavoured to find out,” Goldberg explains about his non-appearance. “Someone’s got to be behind the camera the whole time.” “I think the Jay character’s a little based

Freaks And Geeks Given there are a couple of Freaks And Geeks references in This Is The End, is there a Freak And Geeks bond shared between the former cast members (which aside from Seth Rogen included James Franco, Linda Cardellini, Jason Segel and Lizzy Caplan) of the cult TV show? “I think it’s like the people you went to high school with in some degree,” Rogen explains. “You get along with some of them, not all, but you definitely share a bond with all of them. That’s how I would describe it. It’s not like we are all great friends. But we all do see each other every once in a while and it is nice and pleasant. I definitely go years without seeing some of those people.”

on Evan, when he [Goldberg] first came to LA,” Rogen explains. Upcoming Rogen and Goldberg film projects include The Interview, a comedy which stars James Franco as a journalist tapped on the shoulder by the CIA to execute North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un and the Nicholas Stoller directed Townies, which features Australia’s Rose Byrne alongside Rogen and Zac Efron. “Seth and Rose play a couple with a baby and then Zac Efron and a frat moves in next door and hilarity ensues,” Goldberg explains.

Sound As Ever You Am I are undertaking a massive tour to celebrate the re-release of their three defining albums Sound As Ever, Hi Fi Way and Hourly Daily.

im Rogers previously indicated a general reluctance to revisit the back catalogue and remaster their old albums but the You Am I frontman said he ran out of reasons to say no. “It took a bit of pushing for me and I have always been a bit reluctant to do it,” Rogers explained. “We’ve been asked for seven or eight years to do shows to play those records. It always seemed to be other people involved suggesting it and now the band is managed by Andy; Rusty [is] doing so much of the

art and is heavily involved in the record releases and Davey, who is our future producer, [so] I ran out of reasons to say no. It all came internally from us and I caught myself listening to those records and they’re okay. It’s not an admission of defeat to go ahead and do them. We celebrated Hourly Daily in a field in Canada with a warm bottle of champagne, because we were racing to another show, so we thought, ‘Let’s fucking celebrate because it’s about time’.” Roger says the mid-‘90s (when You Am I’s first three albums, which have just been remastered, were released) just marked another period of his 25 years as a touring musician. “It wasn’t, from our point of view anyway, this golden period or salad date but 25 years of salad and ice cream. If it captures a particular period of time for people who listen and like those records [but] there’s no great significance for us as a band, and the

others will probably agree, as there were other times, other records, that have more gravitas for us as people. Fuck, I’m really happy people like those records as it has given me a life. There’s a lot of joy in playing these records but more for other people and we’re finally giving something back.” Was there any sort of goal, or objective in mind with what Rogers hoped to achieve with the remastering process? “Davey, Andy and Rusty have more an idea about that and I wasn’t there for the remastering, only the mixing of those records and I had particular things that I wanted. I’m not really sure if there was an objective. Andy and Davey went in with points they thought would improve the sound of the records with new technology available that wasn’t available then. I was surprised at how bright Hourly Daily was and we chose Dave Bianco to mix it because he did Grand Prix by Teenage Fanclub. I only discovered later that he was involved in Kiss Alive I, II and III. There was no real plan on my end but I think the remastering process is a healthy sway of ego and, once again, we didn’t celebrate anything at the time because we were too busy. It’s like, ‘Hey, don’t we look great?’ But then we look at photos of ourselves at the time and we looked so stoned all of the time, which surprised me. I didn’t even think I was smoking back then!” Was it a tough job going through the archives to pick material for the bonus discs? “It was tough for Andy because he had everything up in his attic. The biggest discovery was the song Up Against It, which I named after a film script the great English playwright Joe Orton was writing for The Beatles, which didn’t go ahead. I can’t remember recording it and completely forgot that it existed. It was a song we spent longer on than any other song on Hourly Daily and it never got used. Andy found a tape of it somewhere and listening to live tracks from around that time I really prattled on. I understand why people wanted to throw bottles at me because I talked about nothing. It was a nice opportunity to see how we’ve got better as a band and it wasn’t hard listening to that stuff. Live tracks from around the time were great as we were writing Hi Fi Way and touring America at that time. I know American drugs are great, apart from ruining people’s lives, but they worked for us at the time. Everything was so fast and we were having so much fun.”

Hip Hop Circus

so Bliss N E ok by Nina Bert

On the surface, Jonathan Notley, Max MacKinnon and Tarik Ejjamai are just three regular dudes, but put them together and something magical happens. As Bliss N Eso, their fifth album Circus In The Sky is the prime example of this phenomenon, something that McKinnon (MC Eso) describes as “frighteningly close to spiritual, a very religious experience”.

WHO: Bliss N Eso WHAT: Circus In The Sky (Illusive) WHERE: Entertainment Centre Theatre WHEN: Sat Jul 13

ut most of all, it’s like being back at kindy, he notes. “It’s so hard to explain, there is no end to the creativity. It’s like going back to kindergarten and you’re a kid again. You put on this big apron and you’re really excited and you’ve got this huge bit of paper in front of you with incredible paints – and you just go for it! No limits, nothing! You can just draw whatever the fuck you want! If we wanted to get any message across through that process, it’s the power of the mind and positive thinking – you can be and do anything you want, despite what anybody says.” It’s a mantra that dates back to Bliss N Eso’s early days as a hip hop crew, a belief that was responsible for some of the most amazing things the trio had ever come to experience, according to McKinnon. It started with a simple mission statement, and within what seemed like the blink of an eye, became more than the three could’ve ever imagined. McKinnon would like to take a moment to thank his late mother... “Back in the day, my mum – rest in peace – would tell me that if you write down what you want on a piece of paper and fold it up and put it in the freezer, it would keep your thoughts and dreams fresh and alive. All you had to do was just think about it positively and it would happen. I swear to you – the first bit of paper I ever tried this on, I wrote that we would make a song and have a show where people actually come to see us. It was the simplest dream ever, we just stuck to the craft and made sure we had fun while writing albums – that bit was up to us. We had a blast writing Flying Colours [2008] and Running On Air [2010], and the music was a mirror of that.” Circus In The Sky is no exception in that regard, but it is a whole new level musically for Bliss N Eso, McKinnon claims. For one, the trio got the chance to collaborate with their idol and hip hop titan Nas on I Am Somebody, and secondly – and perhaps more importantly – the album in general has provided a chance to connect with fellow “kindred spirits”. “Then it got even better when we managed to get YelaWolf to join us on the tour – Alabama represent motherfuckers!” McKinnon laughs. “I can’t say enough about him, he’s another example of someone who made something out of nothing and managed to hook up with some of the greatest MCs, like Eminem. He’s coming to our country just to support us on our tour, it’s humbling as balls, I’m speechless. Working with Nas was the same feeling, even though there was that distance between us, which made it a bit hard. I remember listening to the hip hop show on Triple J and Nas was talking from his studio, going, “Bliss N Eso, I wanna do something with them”, and it’s like, holy shit he actually stuck to his words on that. It was organic – Bliss N Eso don’t plant anything, it comes down to pure magic.” As for the rest of the collaborators who jumped

on board the Circus In The Sky – including Daniel Merriweather, 360, Pez, Seth Sentry, Drapht, Ceekay Jones and Alex Williamson – McKinnon paints a very visual description. “In my mind I see a railway that starts along the ground then bends up and straight up into the fucking stars. You know how they had those circus back in the day – like in the movie Water For Elephants during the Depression – where they carried the circus on the train, with each carriage carrying the lions, the ponies, and all the different characters? Well that’s what this is like. This train has 360 and Pez and Seth Sentry and Drapht and all our mates carriage by carriage. It’s what Circus In The Sky is – it’s a ride.”

Disclosure Following the release of hit singles Control and White Noise and their critically-acclaimed debut album Settle, beatmaking brothers Guy and Howard Lawrence (who are aged just 19 and 22, by the way) will swoop into Adelaide’s HQ on Thu Oct 3. Over the course of 12 months, Disclosure have rocketed to the forefront of the dance world, releasing their debut EP The Face last year and going on huge headline festivals all around the globe. Disclosure’s debut album Settle has made a massive impact since its June release, managing to reinvigorate the endless factory chute of EDM with its borrowing of genres like R&B, late ‘90s two-step and UK garage.

Rick Wilhite First influenced by Detroit’s legendary pool of musicians, Rick Wilhite got into production at just 11 years old and began remixing records in 1986 with the group NASA. Over the years he went on to establish a bond with fellow musos Marcellus Pittman, Kenny Dixon Jr and Theo Parrish and during the early ‘90s became one of the most sought after music professionals in the industry. Wilhite’s skill set includes DJ sets of R&B, hip hop, techno and reggae, but his ‘mojo’ is house and disco and it’s his multi-faceted crowd control, sound engineering and creative party promotion that make him more than just a Detroit DJ. Rick Wilhite plays Sugar on Thu Jul 25.

Q+A With Citizen Kay On the back of his Yes EP and new single Vision, Canberra rapper Citizen Kay is embarking on his first national tour with his drummer James – the pair touted as ‘The White Stripes of hip hop’... The Yes single has really taken off for you, are you still pinching yourself?

The Roll Call Tour Golden Era Records’ will present a national showcase over August and September, featuring Funkoars, Vents, Adfu and K21. The Roll Call Tour will give fans the opportunity to hear exclusive tracks from the 2013 Golden Era Mixtape in a live setting – something which the individual artists would not normally cover in their own shows. The tour is also being sponsored by New Era Cap Australia who have donated a limited run of Golden Era Snap-Back caps which will only be available for purchase as part of this event. The announcement of the tour comes after The Funkoars announced on Facebook that long-time member DJ Reflux has parted with the local crew. The tour rolls out to the Gov on Sat Sep 7.

I’m working in a fast food restaurant and the other day I was just chilling after work, driving home and I heard my own song on Triple J! I’m still a bit like, ‘Aw yeah!’, still secretly jamming to my own track! Vision is your follow-up single, how different or similar are the two? Vision is totally the other side of Yes. I wanted Vision to show people I’m also a serious artist who has a true message and isn’t just about making some track with no meaning behind it. How did you find the entire recordmaking process?

CD Reviews

I’m doing a sound tech course so I’ve always been behind the scenes for other people’s music. I’ve got so much passion for music – and not just hip hop – I was a guitarist and a drummer, then slowly merged into hip hop... Some media have called Citizen Kay ‘The White Stripes of hip hop’...

London native and current darling of the deep beats realm, Maya Jane Coles has just dropped her first studio album Comfort – a textural blend of tech, deep house and also some slower moments, all linked by a ribbon of silky, strippedback femininity. There’s a lot to like here, with techy joints Comfort and Easy To Hide setting the tone at a decidedly high quality. And first single off the album, Everything, with the distinct voice of Karin Park at the helm is a dancefloor-groover with its deep b-line and driving melodies over a crisp beat. And it must be noted too that Ms Cole has entirely produced this record (played all the instruments, pushed all the right buttons), so credit is due for a dope first effort which is as danceable as it is listenable.

With Guy J remixing every track on his Balance compilation, the Israeli creates a beautiful flowing mix of prog tinged ambience, house and tech house. The Bedrock artist has juxtaposed exclusive tracks he’s remixed with some of his favourites that he’s remade resulting in a personal collection that will delight fans of Bedrock and Guy J. Beginning on the melodic and ambient tip with the wonderful No One Gets Left Behind (DJ Yellow & Flowers and Sea Creatures), Guy J’s mix moves from deep progressive sounds (Roger Martinez & Secret Cinema’s Menthol Raga) to chugging melodic tech house (Pavel Petrov’s Fever) to spaced out house (Dactilar’s Day One). A must listen for prog heads and other dance fans looking to space out. Jeff Spicoli

It’s with little surprise after seeing Art Vs Science at Southbound 2010, where they basically played until they melted their faces off, that high-energy vocalist Jim Finn would eventually burn out. Following antics on a US tour, Finn ended up on dialysis following a kidney transplant in 2012. Turning a positive out of a negative, Finn gave birth to Vydamo, a softer popinfused take on electronic music. It seems unlikely Finn is looking to poach Art Vs Science fans, instead going for a different demographic. Opening track Hurricane is more likely to find a home on commercial radio than Triple J, although Gonna Make It will be able to bounce back and forth between markets easily. This is the best possible result for Vydamo, as he tries to find his place as a credible talent on his own, so is casting his net wide. Lachlan Aird

That the general quick-mix DJ who's twice joined our festival circuit, has committed to a club run is significant – it's always been his endgame. "It allows you to do some stuff you otherwise couldn't when you're fighting for people's attention against other artists and when there's tonnes of stages and distractions." However, Robinson is looking to challenges beyond DJing. "It's maybe the last tour I do before I start a new style of show." The EDM "saviour", ranked No. 40 in DJ Mag's poll, never planned to DJ, but produce. At 12 Robinson became obsessed with the electronica used in the music video game Dance Dance Revolution, later discovering Wolfgang Gartner. His hometown of Chapel Hill, North Carolina has no party scene. Instead he studied production techniques online, while connecting with other EDM aspirants, including France's equally youthful Madeon, and eliciting feedback on tunes. Though Robinson, who turns 21 this month, issued music early on as Ekowraith, he'd shed that handle for 2010's breakthrough Say My Name – which led him to remix Lady GaGa's The Edge Of Glory. Skrillex picked up Robinson's Spitfire EP to launch OWSLA. Next, Robinson aired the vocal Language via Ministry Of Sound. When he played his inaugural DJ gig in San Francisco, it was only his second visit to a club. "Culturally, I'm not a dance music person. I've always been an electronic music

Sandberg, based with his young family in Barcelona, Spain, last toured Australia's clubs at the end of 2012, in support of his Balance 022 compilation. Now he's back for a three-date run, finishing in Adelaide on Sunday. (Sandberg has traditionally favoured clubs to festivals.) Since Balance 022, the veteran has been focussed on his imprint Outpost Recordings and – stop the press – finishing a long-awaited fourth album. "I'm sketching out my memoirs from on the road as well – it's hard to piece together as most of the memories are, well, pretty 'sketchy'," Sandberg teases. Sandberg's mother is Australian. The aspiring professional pianist left a family farm in coastal Victoria for London, where she met Sandberg's Swedish father. Little Lars grew up in the gritty Scottish city of Glasgow. Sandberg, best known for 2001's classic techno record Diabla, actually started out there as a teen hip hop turntablist. He rarely listens to contemporary hip hop today. "I stopped listening to hip hop in the late '80s or early '90s," Sandberg admits. "I was really into the West Coast sound – more of the drum machine-based stuff. I guess the electronic side got the best of me. It was an easy transition to house music from Miami bass, which I still love. I like big butts and I cannot lie!" Sandberg embraced Chicago house and

person." Ironically, Robinson now has a residency in Las Vegas at the Wynn resort nightclub complex. Robinson pioneered the post-dubstep 'complextro' (complex electro) – less a genre than an approach, like IDM. He's not interested in pop, famously spurning Katy Perry. "That headline has been so, so very circulated!" demurs Robinson, who'd nonetheless jump at the chance to work with his "idol" Kanye West. Over the past year Robinson, his most recent tune Easy with Brit Mat Zo, has been absorbed in his debut album, already suggesting that it will be melodic, experimental and "goosebumpsy". He's scaled back on DJing, hiding in his old bedroom and labouring for 10 hours every day. Robinson, resolved not to preview material in sets, isn't rushing it. He doesn't even have a label, preferring to hold out

for a major or independent that shares his "vision". "I've put my whole heart and soul into this thing." DJing and producing are no longer symbiotic for him, Robinson moving away from club bangers with Language (a crossover hit, regardless). "A lot of music that I'm writing is meant to be more emotional and sentimental," he reveals. "If it's loud and fun, it's kind of incidental – and it's usually done in service of the emotional impact... Part of that whole thing strategically is that I will be starting a new show next year which won't be so much a conventional DJ set. It'll be a lot more personal and emotional – and I think a lot more unique. It's something that I've been wanting to do ever since I started." Mind, Robinson is "not promising to quit DJing" entirely. "I still really do love DJing," he assures. "I'm not trying to scare people or anything!"

As for the album's musical direction, Robinson is striving to reinvent himself yet again. He's testing different tempos – and recording indie vocalists, Passion Pit's Michael Angelakos among them. "I don't want [the album] to resemble anything else too much. One thing that I found is that a lot of very emotional electronic music, you'd probably call it 'trance' – and it can be a little cheesy and a little bit glossy. So much of what I'm writing is vintage-inspired and using a little bit more of a lo-fi twist to give it a different frame for taking in all the prettiness."

enigmatic Child, who premiered with Interplanetary Jazz. Sandberg mentions new EPs from "local Barcelona talent" Miki Craven and "rave warrior" Dave Tarrida plus himself. "It's been a while, but my mojo's coming back." In 2013 Sandberg's sound is variously described as deep techno or deep house. He values authentic or "honest" music. But is Sandberg attracted to the new post-dubstep techno of the UK's Blawan? "I've been muting the noise, to be honest – I feel it helps to purify your inner sound," he quips. "Also, I have been 'offline' a lot these days as I feel that the Internet has a destructive effect on creativity – it's the worst kind of distraction. If 'deep' signifies musical, then, yes, you could call me deep – although I don't like to pigeonhole music too much as I find it constricting." There's been much buzz about Sandberg's

old Soma labelmates Daft Punk with their Random Access Memories supposedly igniting a disco-funk revival. Sandberg's predictions for dance music are less sanguine. "I think it's kinda run out of steam! Everything's been done a million times over, but it's sometimes refreshing to hear good new takes on genres that have been around for ages. I've lost that visceral feeling from hearing revolutionary, culture-changing music in the past, but I still love sharing the good stuff when I'm out working. I'm still a sucker for a great chord stab!"

Detroit techno, developing that George Clinton-inspired handle Funk D'Void. He aligned himself with Slam's Soma stable, briefly home to Daft Punk pre-Homework, airing Jack Me Off in 1995. Sandberg went on to issue a trilogy of 'artist' albums, the last 2004's Funk Volume, and introduce another outlet in Francois Dubois for deep house. He also remixed big names such as New Order (Someone Like You) and Underworld (Dinosaur Adventure 3D). For several years Sandberg worked in a record store. He eventually transplanted to Barcelona, home of Sónar, bonding with another expat in Groove Armada's Andy Cato. The pair threw parties and shared studio space (Sandberg has likewise collaborated with Irishman Phil Kieran). In 2010 Sandberg launched Outpost. He has put out music by the prog Guy J and even has an Australian artist – the

Brewed from Townsville, Ben Salter has been on vacation, and rather than bringing back an oversized Amsterdam T-shirt or an Eiffel Tower keychain, he returns with a different kind of memento. He brings his European Vacation EP; a snap shot into some of the extraordinary travel tales collaborating with the people he met along the way. Young Benny Salter really is a man about town, also known for his dabblings across Giants Of Science, The Gin Club and The Wilson Pickers as well as his solo efforts. The new record sees Salter experimenting with the freedom that his music brings. “(I'm) just trying to avoid overthinking things too much, I really think the best stuff comes from a little bit of spontaneity.” If you were to describe his solo sound, Salter says, “I would probably describe it by just saying you should listen too it" — a phrase of which all musicians should adopt. Categories are overrated.

A well spoken and polite gentlemen echoes down the phone line amid tackling "paperworky" kind of stuff — it's just that of time of year. But it's nothing in comparison to his adventures spent exploring that big European continent, collaborating with 25-plus folk across a smorgasbord of countries. “I ended up with about 40 songs from the trip. Having these little songs that I made with all these different people all over the place, rather than photos, are just awesome mementoes. The project originally came about because I was awarded a grant by the Arts Council Of Australia. I basically said that I was goning to go over to Europe and do a bunch of collaborations and try to establish some musical relationships with people. So that's exactly what I did.” Upon Salter's wild adventures he discovered the Gothenburg puns, a place famous for the lame dad jokes that its residents are renowned for. “It's really just a strange geographical

thing that people in Gothenburg are famous for making puns. One of the members of The Gin Club was Swedish and he was from Stockholm and he was always saying to us if you go to Gothenburg, they're always making really bad dad jokes. I thought that sounds ridiculous, but then we got there a Finnish guy was doing sound and the guy I was touring with was Danish. This Finnish guy said, Ì'll set up the PA. I wont be here for the show but I'll come back after the Finnish.' My Swedish mate he just looked at me and said, Ì told you!' I said, Ìs it really true?!' and they were all just nodding their heads. It's crazy. I've never heard of anything else in the world like it.”

since the recording of their last album they had changed to a clean singer with new member Zach Britt (guitar) taking over the responsibilities in that department. “We met Zach while we were touring – in Adelaide actually. And we really loved hanging out with him and became really good friends. Our bassist stepped away from playing with us because he had a kid and we just felt like Zach would be a perfect addition. It’s been the best thing that ever happened to our band. His voice is just perfect,” Gadacz chuckles. But it wasn’t as easy as it sounds, according to the singer. As fate would have it, unfortunately Britt had just started another band and Dream On Dreamer did not want to go ahead and just poach him, as Gadacz puts it. “It was always in the back of our minds to get him," he confesses, "But, because of the other band he was in, we actually held auditions. It was really cool because some of the people were actually really good.

Some people came over from America but we felt like we couldn’t just get anyone – it needed to be a friend, someone who knew about the history of the band and had been there from the start. We just decided to approach him and within three days, he had sold all of his stuff, moved to Melbourne and joined the band.” With everything falling into place for the guys from Dream On Dreamer in the end – from managing to get their lineup exactly how they had wanted it and being lucky enough to get to play with the freedom and creativity that every artist strives for – it seems that only the sky is the limit now.

They say that in order to be at your best you need to be in the right spot mentally and this must be true for Dream On Dreamer. Since their last album they have worked hard at refining their sound, tweaked the line-up and found their own signature sound. Rip It Up had the chance to chat with singer Marcel Gadacz before they set off on tour. “It wasn’t an easier record to make because of the whole process but it came more naturally. We weren’t trying to be something other than what we are – we just created what came naturally. I’m really proud that what we’ve done we did it all ourselves. We produced it ourselves, wrote everything and I even did the artwork myself. We really wanted to do that so that we can honestly say that everything on this record is us.” It wasn’t just the process of writing the music that the band ended up changing –

t Forma s Return

Image credit: Andre Castellucci

an da Freem n a ir M y b

Underground Army Adelaide, let’s be real. You’ve often suffered the affliction of being a reactive city as opposed to a proactive one. And one subcultural body to have experienced that firsthand is Format, a collective of young thinkers who have long pushed our city’s boundaries and, as a direct result, have had a tough time keeping a HQ to do so.

n March this year the group were forced to vacate their Peel St residence due to impending renovations that didn’t quite accommodate their bohemian vision. They left behind the space that had started it all in 2010, having hosted countless international and local bands, five festivals, hundreds of visual art exhibitions and live plays. While a sad moment, it didn’t leave them crestfallen. If anything, it spurred an even stronger hunger to fill the void of Adelaide’s ‘underground’ scene. So, fast-forward to the present day. The collective are back, currently in the process of securing a brand new space in the southern outskirts of the CBD. “We’re still negotiating. We are trying to get money from a variety of funding bodies to soundproof and renovate the place,” says co-founder Stan Mahoney, one of the pivotal figures behind Format since its initial beginnings. “We can’t sign the lease without some kind of financial assistance, because it’s going to cost somewhere in the vicinity of over $100,000 to refit the venue. All of the venues we’re looking at are near commercial businesses, so we will have to spend a lot of money just to soundproof those venues, as will the Jade Monkey. [Their reopen] is in sight now, but they’ve got a lot of work to do or else the neighbours will complain.” The light at the end of the tunnel comes

RipITUPMAGAZINE//ripitup.com.au

after several months of sweeping empty properties in the southern end of Adelaide’s CBD, an area abundant with empty spaces. “It’s been difficult, because for Format, in particular, we are a music venue, exhibition space and zine store kind of combined together, and we found so many places that looked so good for people wanting to do just one stream of that but that just weren’t suitable for us,” says co-founder and longtime sound technician Patrick Lockwood. “You go past five places every day that are empty, and it would be great if people went into some of them, to make Adelaide exciting again. That was meant to be the other point when Format was shutting up. It was to say to other people that they need to be doing this, they need to be creating underground spaces.”

“They’re realising that scruffy freaks are a useful demographic.” The mechanisms of the old Format were blissfully shambolic, with the space usually running on temporary licenses with a fluctuating capacity of 80 to 250. With the new venue, however, the founders are aiming for something a little more permanent. “We’re looking for a capacity of around 200-300, depending on how many toilets

we put in. We’d like to set up a permanent rehearsal and recording space, some artist studio spaces, couches and a WiFi area,” Lockwood offers, with Mahoney adding, “It’ll be like a DIY resource centre for artists and musicians.” Until a lease is signed, they’ll be occupying an empty Bowden warehouse currently rented by fellow do-gooders Tuxedo Cat. The warehouse will be the site of their aptlytitled relaunch party Mission Accomplished, taking place on Fri Jul 19 featuring a bunch of leading lo-fi bands like Per Purpose, Old Mate, Forces, The Crying Game and an art exhibition, Never Mind. “We’re going to try and utilise the space as best we can, taking cues from the organisers behind events like Lost City and so on. There will be cool installations happening on the night,” Lockwood says. From there, it’s a matter of Pozible campaigns and endurance. “We’d like to open [the new space] before the end of the year, hopefully before September,” Mahoney offers. “There are a few mid-year festivals we’d like to be a part of, such as the Festival Of Ideas. We’re also toying with another Format Festival, which would take place in September.” “We’re raising the bar. Raising the bar in Adelaide, it’ll be chin height, so you can drink the beer straight off the bar,” pipes in exhibition curator Olivia Kathigitis. With that in mind, Format’s recent battle follows a number of other underground venue staples being forced to close, including the Jade Monkey and Squatters Arms. Amidst this renaissance of becoming commercially gentrified and abandoning our grimier subcultures, will there continue to be place for the underground or are we destined to be above the surface? “If [the South Australian] government wants a place for subcultural artist-run stuff

Mission Accomplished Here are some of the bands you can expect at Format’s relaunch party taking place this Fri Jul 19. Per Purpose: Bratty post-punk heroes launching their third EP. Old Mate: Seven-piece swagger rock, straight ‘outta Kewsick. Forces: Dark ‘90s inspired techno, reminiscent of The KLF. The Crying Game: One-off reunion of the ‘80s power pop supergroup featuring current and former members of No Through Road, Central Deli Band, Steering By Stars and Fire! Santa Rosa, Fire!

here in the CBD then it has to subsidise it, or at least help it find spaces,” Mahoney says. “It’s going to continue to gentrify because of the parklands ringing in the real estate in the CBD. There are no trendy outer suburbs. Bowden will be in 20 years, but for now it’s just Adelaide, so the government has to make a decision about what kind of city Adelaide is going to be. “But you know what?” he continues after a long pause. “They are at least recognising that there’s money in the creative economy. That a whole community or a network of subcultural groups together has a lot of purchasing power, they keep young people in the city. They’re realising that scruffy freaks are a useful demographic.” WHO: Per Purpose, Old Mate, Forces, The Crying Game & Never Mind exhibition WHAT: Mission Accomplished WHERE: Plant One, 18 Park Tce, Bowden WHEN: Fri Jul 19 from 6pm

Film // The Lone Ranger (M) AAa This blockbuster from producer/director Gore Verbinski (of Rango and three Pirates Of The Caribbeans) had a troubled production, and it shows, with a sprawling narrative, a dodgy script and a desperate decision to rely on the comic chops of Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer to get you past it all. A character out of copyright with un-PC aspects glossed over here, this begins in 1933 (the year of the hero’s first appearance) with a strange framing device wherein an elderly Tonto (Depp in prosthetics) tells the story we’re waiting for to a kid, and we take up in the past as lawman John Reid (Hammer) came to a town on the verge of a rail link and complete with a villain (no spoilers!) in the form of nefarious Cole

Debate rages (sort of ) about whether this Chris Wedge-directed effort from Fox Animation is a rip-off of the goofy FernGully kiddie pics. It must be said, the first FG was released in 1992 and this one’s source, William Joyce’s The Leaf Men And The Brave Good Bugs, was published in 1996, so maybe there is some pilfering going on. The convoluted plot is about wars between magic types rather than environmental issues, as late-teen MK/Mary Katherine (voiced by Amanda Seyfried) reunites with her eccentric Dad ( Jason Sudeikis) in his isolated house and, already morose about the death of her mum, is further upset when she discovers that he’s still obsessed with the notion that little people live in the forest beyond. He’s right, of course (there wouldn’t be much of a film otherwise), and soon she’s witness to troubles with Queen Tara (Beyoncé), getting shrunk and joining ‘leafman’ Ronin (Colin Farrell), his tearaway young charge Nod ( Josh Hutcherson), a comic-relief snail and slug (Chris O’Dowd and Pitbull) and others for a complicated narrative involving a mystical seed pod, and how the enemies of the oh-so-nice forest people must fight the Boggans (not bogans), led by Mandrake (Christoph Waltz), who want to get their scenestealing mitts on it. With lovely animation, overcomplicated detail, a silly voice role for Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler and baddies who resemble the alien reptilians from David Icke’s conspiracy theories, the only thing really epic about this is its title. Mad Dog Bradley

Italian Matteo Garrone’s previous effort, Gomorra, a study of modern Naples crime families full of first-time players and non-actors, had its fans internationally, but this follow-up is a disappointment, with simplistic satire and overacting by another strangely untested cast, mostly selected for their chubby or grotesque appearance (Garrone probably thinks this is ‘Felliniesque’, but it actually just looks cheap). Luciano (unknown Aniello Arena almost saving it) is a small-town, small-time Neapolitan fishmonger with a large family who keeps running into Enzo (showboating Raffaele Ferrante), the winner of the most recent Big Brother (or Grande Fratello), and his kids eventually pressure Luciano into trying out for the next series. And this is the beginning of his slide into obsessive and destructive behaviour, as he becomes convinced that he’s being watched by cameras and tested by spies, and is soon shouting meals for the homeless, giving away his possessions and worse, as Garrone works irritatingly hard to turn Luciano’s plight into (deep breath) ‘Serious Socio-Political Commentary’. If you can see past the fact that ‘reality TV’ and Big Brother are crap and Garrone’s nasty glee in making his actors look horrible, Arena’s performance almost makes this worthwhile, and there’s an existentialist wrap-up that almost works plus a slightly daring attempt to equate the fantasy of television with the fantasy of religion. But it’s all lost in the general cruelty – and unreality. Mad Dog Bradley

Quick Flicks

(nasty Tom Wilkinson). Cole’s complicated scheme ropes in a planned war with the Comanche, a gun-happy cavalry, sleazy designs on Reid’s sister-in-law Rebecca (dreary Ruth Wilson) and more. Soon the left-for-dead John is donning the famed mask with advice from Tonto and the pair are setting into motion an endless bunch of chase sequences that go on and on and on and on – and bizarrely don’t feature The Lone Ranger Theme (ahem, The William Tell Overture) until almost the end! Depp’s wily stereotype and Hammer’s goofball characterisation get a few laughs, and this is also notable for a sympathetic depiction of Amerindians that attempts to appease those who might be offended by Tonto. And it also proves that FX steam trains are really, really dull.

A Gun In Each Hand (M) AAAa Virtually every actor in Spain gets a chance to perform in director Cesc Gay’s seemingly unconnected vignettes, where old friends wait out a rainstorm by vying over who has made a bigger mess of their lives, a divorcee attempts a reunion with his ex-wife at the worst possible moment, two acquaintances chat in a park while one decides whether or not to confront the man his wife is having an affair with, co-workers may or may not be heading for a tryst, and two married couples bare all to each other’s spouses about the other’s shortcomings. A film made by a woman about men ruining their own lives could be viewed as a giant ‘screw you’ in the name of feminism were the characters not so darn likeable. In fact, this may be the film’s main downfall, as we become invested in these characters, but the only follow-up we are offered to their predicaments brings no solutions. With no kind of weaponry involved, the title makes no immediate sense, but seems to relate to the notion that there are no positive options for any of the characters or their situations, and though the lack of happy endings may be frustrating, it was hardly promised, and would most probably bring down a film that is, as it stands, endearingly funny, though it’s not a comedy, all about love (but it’s definitely not a romance), and spectacularly depressing, in a ‘life is generally cruel’ sort of way. Conclusions be damned. Kat McCarthy

Opening But Unrated Cloudburst (MA), from writer/ producer/director Thom Fitzgerald, is a tough-love drama with Olympia Dukakis, Brenda Fricker and Ryan Doucette (at the Trak/Regal Cinemas now and the Mercury Cinema from Jul 18) Director/executive producer Paul (Bridesmaids) Feig helms the cop comedy The Heat (MA), starring Sandra Bullock, Melissa McCarthy, Marlon Wayans and Jane Curtin. Director/producer Joss Whedon’s take on Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing (M) features a cast of his pals, including Nathan Fillion and Fran Kranz, and is apparently filmed at his own LA house (!). And co-writer/director Guillermo del Toro’s salute to Japanese Monster Movies, Pacif ic Rim (M), has Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba and del Toro chum Ron Perlman alongside citystompers aplenty.

Le Carpe Diem French armies have been invading their European neighbours for hundreds of years, but if Napoleon had arrived in Waterloo with crepes and croissants instead of swords and pistols things may have turned out a little better for him. Fortunately for us, the days of le squabbling are over, and France’s buttery pastries and gooey gateaux have reigned supreme. Adelaide is the latest to benefit from this new kind of invasion, with little pieces of Paris popping up all over town. The most recent edition is Le Carpe Diem in Adelaide’s east end, a creperie café that is already gaining a reputation for serving the perfect version of one of France’s signature dishes. Le Carpe Diem’s menu gives you the choice of savoury or sweet (or both), and ordering

gives you a good opportunity to brush up on your rusty high school French. Savoury crepes or ‘galette’ are made of buckwheat, making them gluten free. Named after regions of the country, the gallettes are filled with traditional ingredients with a few modern twists. There are plenty to choose from, but stand-outs include the ‘Camembert’ with camembert cheese, pine nuts, honey and garden salad ($14) and the ‘Nantes,’ filled to the brim with smoked salmon, cheese, crème fraiche and dill ($13.50). If you are usually a fan of the ‘lot’ then the Nice-hailing galette filled with all the good stuff is the one for you. Being more of a purist when it comes to French food, I ordered the ‘Traditionelle Complete’ – a crispy gallette with the staples of the Parisian diet; ham, egg and Swiss cheese ($9.50). I also tried out the ‘Quimper’, which features similar ingredients but is beefed up with mushrooms, caramelised onion, olives and basil ($13.50).

Full but determined, I couldn’t leave without trying one of the sweet crepes. And while choosing between these was like choosing between my children, I managed to agree (with myself ) on the crepe featuring strawberry sorbet, strawberry jam and fresh whipped cream ($8.50). With other toppings including caramel salted butter, mascarpone, ginger crumbs and melted chocolate with banana and coconut, I’m sure that you can understand my predicament. The gateaux cabinet is strategically placed right near the door, to tempt you as you walk in and as you depart. Of course I gave in to both, though I’m convinced that the tart au citron and chocolate fondant gateaux were completely calorie-free. A healthier option may be a freshly-squeezed juice, or perhaps a mug of weak French cider (called ‘bolee’), of which the owners encourage you to try – especially with breakfast.

Nordburger When I lived in Norwood I would often lament at how little there was in the way of good places to eat, bar the musty Italian eateries you’d visit as a kid. The frenzied crowds at Cibo and Argo on a Sunday are a solid testament to this lack of variety, but luckily eastside residents now have their very own burger bar to turn to with the newly opened Nordburger. Having opened up shop on the Parade just last week, patrons up and down the eastern strip are all raving about the new American-inspired burger bar. Manned by the same names behind Botanic Bar, Nordburger

Aside from a few too many Eiffel Tower decorations, Le Carpe Diem is the quintessential Parisian café complete with French staff and the most delicious ‘Madeline’ cakes I’ve tried this side of L’Arc de Triomphe. Le Carpe Diem has a simple colour scheme with typically French furniture, gorgeous bay window seating and a timber bar and crepe stand. With a buzzy atmosphere and just the right amount of panache, it’s time to get your derriere in and seize the gateaux.

WHAT: Le Carpe Diem WHERE: 42 Charlick Circuit, Adelaide WHEN: Tue – Fri 7.30am – 5pm, Sat 8am – 3pm, Sun 9am – 3pm INFO: 8123 7488

is a diner-style eatery with a simple menu of burgers, hotdogs and shakes. Think the crisp-bottomed beef burgers, such as the classic ‘Nordburger’ with lettuce, tomato, special sauce, mustard, ketchup and pickles; five different types of seven inch weiner dogs, salted caramel and pretzel milkshakes, tater tots and crinkle cut chipotle chips. They’re open Tue – Sun from 11.30am, head on up and give them a crack.

Stars// Slow it down and watch for potholes. There’s going to be a few – and they’re going to be full of sticky emotional situations, which will require that you go into unfamiliar territory. It won’t work to avoid by trying to be clever. Find parts of yourself that are normally on the backburner.

Taurus 21.04/20.05

Without having to do much about it, you find yourself as king or queen of the castle. Suddenly that’s where you are. Be aware how strongly, tried and traditional habits and patterns, want to dominate this moment. To let them will squash originality. Keep your creative edge.

Cancer 22.06/22.07

This is your time to shine. That means it’s time to know your strengths and put them out there. According to astrological lore, you have the capacity to open up and see things through their birth to fruition. You have emotional stick-ability. Though it scares you, it’s time to show it.

Leo 23.07/22.08

Venus gives you some respite. Even though this is not exactly your moment, you are still capable of lolling around and squeezing some pleasure out of it. The hard lessons haven’t gone away. Keep one eye on the difficult things to be learnt, but without turning into a stress ball.

Virgo 23.08/22.09

Get those foundations down, whatever they are. Dig deep into your resources – inner and outer. Find food in the deep soil that you can only tap into with your roots. Know what your roots are. Know the deepest layers of support you have available to you – people and talents.

Libra 23.09/23.10

This is a tricky time for Librans. Your saving grace is going to be your endless fascination with the process of communication. This time however, it is going to be your capacity to listen, not talk, that will serve you best. Great stories being told. Put your story aside for now.

Scorpio 24.10/21.11

It’s all stations go. Life is dancing and swimming with you. Tune in, jump in and go for it. This is no time to be spooked by your shadow. That is not who you are. It’s a trick of the light. Have all your glorious depth and enjoy the surface too. Get involved and watch what emerges.

Gemini 21.05/21.06

As much as you would like to burst out of the blocks into the public eye, now is for being the hidden one. This requires a willingness to recognise the moment for what it is and put that hungry ego aside. It’s not an easy thing to do – but when you do, a big storm goes away.

Sagittarius 22.11/21.12

Your endless pursuit of expansion has hit that point where the only way to go forward, is to dive deep into the world of emotion and feeling. This is not the moment for skimming around on the surface. It’s time to get emotionally engaged, feel what needs to be felt and be renewed.

Sarah Long

Capricorn 22.12/19.01

With all the action going on in Cancer, which is your astrological opposite, you are confronted with having to identify, and work with, that part of yourself you most keep in the dark. This isn’t the time to be a lonesome cow-person, sitting on your horse on a high hill. Get involved.

Aquarius 20.01/18.02

Love is where the truth is coming from. Even if relationships are rocky on the surface, they are quite possibly delivering everything in the depths of your soul. Conscious incompetence is part of the learning curve – and there’s no place like intimacy to be on that particular curve.

Pisces 19.02/20.03

It’s smooth sailing, as long as you don’t second-guess yourself. Don’t be like the centipede who started to think too much about how to walk, lost the plot and fell over. The currents are flowing. Jump in where your passion is greatest, back yourself and swim like a barracuda.

SALA season is upon us again, and the Gov is freeing up its toasty walls to a whole host of exhibiting artists in celebration of the annual visual arts event. First up they’ll be showcasing the stunning works of local photographer Sarah Long. Since discovering her parent’s collection of National Geographic magazines nearly two decades ago, the South Australian-hailing Sarah Long hasn’t been able to put a camera down. Picking up her father’s old Pentax camera

17 years ago in order to replicate the glossy images of nature that first inspired her, Long has since gone on to produce breathtaking, expansive photographs, the most recent of which will be showcased this August and September. The exhibition will be officially opened on Thu Aug 1 at 6.30pm.

Wanna Be On Top? Ahead of the return of Australia’s Next Top Model to our screens, Rip It Up chats to Charlotte Dawson and Didier Cohen, two of the show’s judges. Dawson returns to the show as a seasoned stalwart of the fashion and entertainment industry, while Cohen, a working model and leading presence in Australia’s fashion and entertainment industry, adds a fresh dimension to the judging panel.

Both judges are quick to point out the overhaul the show has taken, returning in 2013 after a year’s hiatus with HRH Jennifer Hawkins as its host. “We have a brand new set for the eliminations, which is wonderful – the last set was on a flight path and railway track,” says

Dawson. “Jennifer’s new, Didier’s new, the producers are new and the cast is new. While keeping things very honest and true to keep our fans happy and also raise the bar, we’re also delivering a brand new sparkly show.” Cohen adds that there may be some surprises within the new fleet of potential models this year. “This season we tried to show you girls that you might not think could be a model, but then they start to shoot and learn things from Charlotte, Alex and I and then they start to become these amazing models. You see these great transformations this year. It’s fantastic.” Fans of Australia’s Next Top Model will be pleased to know that the same no-bullshit rawness of past seasons will be coming back. “I love that about this show because Charlotte just says it how it is,” says Cohen. “If we don’t tell them what we think in order to give them the tools for what they need for a long career then they’re not learning anything and they won’t be good models, because they won’t be prepared for the industry. We give it to them real, show them

(Role) Model

up to bullies... Reality TV formats itself around conflict and jeopardy – that’s what the audience wants. Whether they’re a house of bakers, candlestick makers or models, you’ll have drama. “It’s been really great this season because these girls are really eager and they’ve actually been great with each other,” Cohen continues. “They all want to succeed. From us giving them advice on the panel on how to act in this industry, and that to have a long career you need to have a great attitude, they took it on like a sponge. They know that if anything like that happens we’re real with them. I think they’re really savvy to that this year.”

Models On Top

Past Miss Universe turned Australia fashion and media darling, Jennifer Hawkins, overtakes the reins this year from Sarah Murdoch. Given that Murdoch shone with the girls as an empathetic mentor, what will Hawkins bring to the table?

Charlotte: “Like Sarah, as the host Jen is the shining star. She’s the girl who has turned her career into a corporation. The likes of Elle McPherson, Megan Gale or Jennifer Hawkins have managed to excel and extend their modelling careers into being role models as well as successful models. She brings the inspiration. She’s the one that when the girls walk in they think – I could end up like that. You don’t want them looking down my end. They’d think, ‘Don’t want to end up like her!’”

how to be better models and that’s how they become great.” Before the new season had even gone to air, Rip It Up discovered that one of the contestants had left the house prematurely, although Dawson and Cohen were tightlipped about details. “We will find out the decision that has been made about that incident when it goes to air,” says Dawson. “We weren’t witness to it. We don’t know what happened. The producers keep certain storylines that they need to deal with separately from us. At the end of the day we sit on the judging panel and judge them on their modelling abilities.” There’s precedent as when you throw teenage girls into a household there will be high tension and this doesn’t seem to have changed with Top Model. “There’s been a dark past in Australia’s Next Top Model with bullying. Because I feel so strongly about bullying I really disciplined them quite hard, which blew up in my face. I’m still of the nature that we should stand

Compared to other Top Model markets worldwide, Australia’s contestants have become increasingly successful, with Alice Burdeu, Amanda Ware and Montana Cox just a few names still walking runways internationally. Why is this the case?

Didier: “She makes these girls think about not just the show but what it takes to be a model and be working non-stop and what could happen. If you treat it right and treat it like a business – that could be you. Jen really shines on that job.”

Charlotte: “We’ve managed to seek out girls who are going to be models, where as I think in other markets they’ve sought out girls who will be great entertainment.” Didier: “There’s something in the water in Australia. Some of the biggest models in the world are Australian. I’ve been starting to realise lately that Australia’s becoming a big name in the fashion

world, especially after the attention Sydney Fashion Week had worldwide. I think a lot of the girls here are in tune to fashion, so what’s where their heads are at. Modelling is just a part of the whole game.” RipITUPMAGAZINE//ripitup.com.au

Christian Petzold’s drama flashes back to a divided Germany and has been compared to Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck’s The Lives Of Others, but this proves considerably different to that one’s voyeuristic storyline, with a plot that focuses more upon moral questions and how hard it can be to do the right thing. The Berlin-based Dr Barbara Wolff (Nina Hoss in a striking performance) has been punished for applying for an exit visa from the GDR (West Germany) by being sent to work in a country hospital. It’s here she meets boss Andre (Ronald Zehrfeld), who has secrets of his own and tries to break through her icy resolve, and gets increasingly involved in the plights of the patients. However, she’s also dangerously attempting to escape with Jörg (Rainer Bock), her lover from the West, which prompts visits from the Stasi and leads to a dilemma that does recall The Lives Of Others — or at least its title. Beautifully subtle in Petzold’s hands, this doesn’t seek to offer history lessons, parody contemporary politics or prompt psychodramatic ponderings as it’s, in the end, a story about compassion, in which Hoss’ almost-completely-unsmiling Barbara struggles with her own humanity.

This, the first American effort by Korean director Kim Jee-Woon (of horrors like A Tale Of Two Sisters and I Saw The Devil, as well as the loopy actioner The Good, The Bad, The Weird), of course stars a grizzled Arnold Schwarzenegger in his first leading role in 10 years, and while the opening scenes offer some of his worst (and strangest) acting in ages, there’s no doubt that this is intended as a fond salute to his whole unlikely career. He’s Ray Owens, sheriff of the small and ever-quiet hamlet of Sommerton, who senses something’s up when strangers lunch at the diner (and that’s not surprising, as one of them is overacting baddie-specialist Peter Stormare), and then suspects that an escaped drug lord (Spanish actor Eduardo Noriega) is liable to storm through town on his way across the border, no matter how much the FBI (led by Forest Whitaker) try to stop him. And so Ray joins forces with deputies Mike (Luis Guzmán) and Sarah ( Jaimie Alexander), as well as local gunnut Lewis ( Johnny Knoxville) and others, and the stage is set for an entertaining, if somewhat endless, all-American 100-proof shoot-‘em-up.

Setting out to be the most outrageously ‘bad taste comedy’ ever made, with 13 credited directors, 20-plus writers and an astonishing cast (some of whom have apparently since stated that they didn’t realise what they were getting into), this has cringingly funny moments and ‘what were they thinking?’-type interludes but eventually induces severe intestinal distress. A crazy screenwriter (Dennis Quaid) pitches loony ideas to a Hollywood exec (Greg Kinnear), and we see skits from a barkingmad film he wants to make, including: Kate Winslet going on a date with Hugh Jackman (no, really) and trying not to stare at the testicles that hang from his chin; Anna Faris and boyfriend Chris Pratt preparing for ‘brown showers’; Emma Stone and Kieran Culkin agonising over would-be young love in ludicrously anatomical detail; an uncomfortable home-schooling sketch where offscreen-marrieds Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber revel in wildly un-PC incestuous antics; and an overextended menstruation gag involving Chloë Grace Moretz, which is revealed to have been directed by Elizabeth Banks.

This first series of Shaun Micallef and Jason Stephens’ Channel 10 hit suffers a little from flat TV treatment (well, duh) but is turned enjoyable indeed due to the sparky, saucy interplay between married ‘trauma cleaners’ Charlie (Micallef ) and Nicola Buchanan (Kat Stewart), who clear up the bloody mess at crime scenes and then tend to unwisely stay on to snoop and sleuth about. Featuring fine performances by acclaimed Aussie players (Vince Colosimo, Peter Phelps, Stephen Curry, Julia Blake), comedians (Merrick Watts, Bob Franklin, Shaun’s longtime collaborator Roz Hammond) and Lucy Honigman, who steals scenes as the Buchanans’ sometimessour niece Jess, standout episodes here include: A Dog’s Life, with Watts satisfyingly savaged to death by a Rottweiler; Atlas Drugged, with Colosimo a suspect in the sun-bed murder of a bodybuilder; Lost Soul, which revolves around a ghastly-looking Amy Winehouse musical; Zootopia, which opens with a big cat keeper at ‘Mabaade Zoo’ being brained with a shovel; and The Course Whisperer, in which, as subtly as it can be managed by scripter Marieke Hardy and Co, a missing bigtime chef might have been devoured by hungry hogs.

Stanley Kubrick At Look Magazine Footprint / Philippe D Mather / $49.95

Ths is an academic work, and one that might tend to overintellectualise, although that does seem fair as revered filmmaker Kubrick did like a bit of overintellectualisation himself. Exhaustively following Stanley’s work at Look from 1948 until 1950 (first as a baby-faced freelancer and then staff member), we explore how his visual style was born and how this fed into his earliest films especially (Day Of The Fight, Fear And Desire, Killer’s Kiss, The Killing), as well as 2001 and beyond. And the images themselves have rarely been seen, includeing snaps of a leering Milton Berle and Kubrick himself reflected in a mirror as he uncomfortably waits to photograph a half-unclad stripper.

Room On The Broom Room On The Broom is a magical story from UK author Julia Donaldson and illustrator Axel Scheffler about a witch and her cat, her broom and her hat and their adventures as they fly through the sky and meet new friends.

ROTB is the third book adaptation from UK theatre group Tall Stories and CDP to be presented by the Adelaide Festival Centre, following the success of Donaldson's The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo's Child. Stephen Anderson, who has previously performed the roles of the Fox, Owl, Snake and The Gruffalo, plays the Dog and the Frog in ROTB. “The best way I can sum up both the shows and the books are that they are just beautiful stories, simply told,” Anderson says. “There's something about those rhyming couplets that really draws in young audiences; it's great, as a performer, to watch them reciting the words along with you.” There is a lot of `flying off' in ROTB. How is this managed on stage? “Tall Stories are a very physical theatre-based company, so they have come up with clever ways for the actors to create the illusion that the broom is flying,” Anderson explains. “It's a highly theatrical show that really develops the imaginations of the audience as well as us as the

actors on stage." Crystal Hegedis has taken on a very different role from her previous appearances as the cheeky but clever mouse of both Gruffalo productions. “This time she's playing the witch. She's a sweet witch,” he says. “A little absent-minded and not particularly good at her chosen profession but she has so much optimism that it's a joy to watch. Crystal is hilarious and sometimes I can't look at her on stage in case I burst out laughing.” One of the enjoyable aspects of children's theatre, besides the fantasy that the kids enjoy, is the occasional subtle joke that only the adults understand. “These shows work on two levels; to entertain the kids but to also amuse both us on stage and the parents. It's gratifying to hear parents say that they really didn't expect to enjoy the show as much as they did; they really love the production as much as

their kids. With songs, puppetry, audience participation and interaction; this is my third Tall Stories show and possibly my favourite,” Anderson declares. “I'm playing the Dog and the Frog with the most amazing puppets that I get to manipulate on stage,” he adds, “often at the same time, which is real challenge. The Dog, in particular, is so cute and endearing as a character. The puppets are so engaging that people forget we are on stage. Damien Warren-Smith plays the Bird and the Dragon, and Josie Cerise plays the Cat.

What originally drew you to photography? In high school there was one photograph I took of a friend that was just really, really beautiful. She was so photogenic, and it looked (from a 16-year-old’s perspective) like a bit of a model shot. I thought, ‘Wow I really like this – making beautiful pictures of beautiful people’, and that really settled somewhere in my brain. What’s the highlight of your photography career? Most of my highlights come from an emotional place. I spent a month in India, and at the end of the trip I went around to all the local places I’d regularly visit and took portraits of the people I’d become familiar with. The guys at this one café saw my camera and got so excited; they basically turned into 14-year-old boys. It took me back to when I was seven again, taking photos with my first camera. What skill levels are your courses aimed at? Certain courses require a little more assumed knowledge and skills than others, but most of them are pretty basic. The only one that needs some skill is the night photography course. What do you enjoy about teaching the courses? Seeing the work that students produce and pushing people into areas that surprise them. Also having my preconceptions challenged by seeing what others produce. Teaching also means that I’m always a student. I’m always learning. What do you hope people will get out of the photography courses you’re leading? I think the most important thing is confidence. A lot of students let the gear and the technical stuff cloud their confidence, and at the end of the day if you’ve got the confidence to do something, it might not always get images that work, but at least you’ll have to ability to learn more and the confidence to try again. Any advice for aspiring photographers? Patience is critical. You’re not always going to get a successful image. The other thing is you’re a photographer because you like taking pictures, not being in front of the computer. My best advice is train your way of seeing. The more you shoot, the better you see things.

All About to Change

(Frenchkiss Records)

(Independent)

London-based indie rockers Bloc Party are easy to write off as an overexposed mess. Something about their inherent likeability is incredibly irksome. But Ratchet will win even the most avid Bloc Party despiser over. A fast-paced and effervescent sound, Ratchet is incredibly playable. The track is repetitive enough to be a hit but not so repetitive that it enters the Carly Rae Jepsen zone of mundanity. Listen to this track off your face, heels in one hand and cheap vodka tonic in the other for maximum effect.

David Lynch & Lykke Li I’m Waiting Here (Sunday Best)

There are some intolerable errors in the modern world: the overexposure of Tony Abbott in speedos, Maccas refusing to serve breakfast past 10.30am and long lasting trend that is the cheeky short. This track makes these atrocities seem like minor offences. At a run time of five minutes, don’t waste those seconds listening to David Lynch & Lykke Li. You will never get that time or mental health back. Listen if you are suffering from insomnia or just feel like clawing out your own eyes.

Bernard Fanning Departures (Universal)

AAAa Hearing of Powderfinger’s split in 2010 was enough to make any tough biker weep into his leather. Australia’s greatest modern rock group, who delivered hit after hit for over two decades, was to be no more. But following the success of front man Bernard Fanning’s 2005 solo album Tea

& Sympathy, we knew the strings weren’t completely severed. Eight years later and Fanning still carries that Powderfinger aura, with his latest album Departures delivering those growling guitars and catchy riffs in Tell Me How It Is and Battleships. The album’s title suggests themes of parting ways and new beginnings, but surprisingly it conjures the opposite effect, only reminding listeners of what once was. There’s no such evidence of the soft and folky acoustics adopted by Fanning in Tea & Sympathy hits Watch Over You and Songbird, as Departures is bigger, edgier and catchier. Departures (Blue Toowong Skies) is the only exception, with its breeziness and reflective lyrics the closest to Fanning’s s acoustic side. Fanning has also adopted a newfound groove, with Limbo Stick and Drake proof he’s still got that rock ‘n’ roll gruff. Departures is more of a revisit than reinvention and will leave most Powderfinger fans marveling in the age old question of why all good things must come to an end. Melissa Keogh

Oh he fits the genre stereotype well doesn’t he? A gorgeous man in a blue button up, a man who loves a cheeky busk and loves a sneaky harmony. This is just my kind of folky sensation. James hails from the seaside, originally from Port Macquarie now making it happen in the biggest of smokes, Sydney. It really is All About To Change for Patrick James. There is something slightly different about Patty. It’s not all guitar and lyrics, he explores a different dimension of the nu-folk sound, a really well rounded sonic element of the genre that he is just nailing. There is a certain Boy & Bear-esque shining through. With his Dave Hosking like vocals, a bit of banjo and smooth acoustic riffs that build into a deep surround sound making for tunes that are catchy as all hell. What a stupendous songwriter he is using honesty as his main device for inspiration, words that just gel together like a peanut butter and lettuce sandwich. That really is a good combination, mum got me on to that one, bless her little cottons. Sharni Honor

Hipster Kids (AandRdepartment)

Kato rocks his latest EP Hipster Kids. Riding a low-key indie vibe, this track is ultimate Triple J bait. The thick bass notes provide grungy goodness with a spacious finish. Not only is this a decent EP, you’re bound to fall a little in love with the playfully satirical Kato who ruthlessly rags on the modern day hipster. Hipster Kids should make an appearance in everyone’s life soundtrack. Play it as you meander down Rundle St East, skateboard in hand or while staring wistfully out of a bus window.

Architecture in Helsinki In The Future (Copyright Control)

Australian indie poppers Architecture in Helsinki strike again with this futuristic, bouncy bag of beats. The track reminds one of beach balls, white wine spritzers and pastel skorts. Like the EP, these things are unnecessary yet exist and tend to appear like more fun than they actually are. In The Future fails in its simplicity and bland content. AIH need to learn that repeating the word ‘future’ doesn’t make a track cutting edge, no matter how hard you want it to.

Clairy Browne & The Bangin’ Rackettes Governor Hindmarsh, Fri Jul 5 (Photos by Andreas Heuer) (Review by Lachlan Aird)

AAAA It’s a surprise when an artist that commands such a niche genre in actuality draws such a vast and diverse crowd. While her appearance at this year’s WOMADelaide would have found her some new fans, the buzz surrounding Clairy Browne & The Bangin’ Rackettes ensured that young and old, nostalgic swingers and modern hipsters, jazz enthusiasts and classical aficionados united in force to pack out the Gov. Setting the tone for the proceedings, Chris Russell’s Chicken Walk inject an unhealthy dose of blues into the room, grabbing local guys Snooks La Vie and BJ Barker on stage to jam it out. Suited gentlemen take the stage, picking up their respective instruments, rounding out the five-piece backing band. A baritone saxophone heralds the arrival of The Rackettes, Browne’s three bodacious back-up singers. As Clairy Browne struts across the stage, adorned in a black mesh bodysuit, sequinned mermaid bustier and high-waisted riding pants, you can almost feel the temperature in the stuffed room

From Kodaline’s humble beginnings as an independent Irish band that landed a number one single Give Me A Minute (they were still called 21 Demands then) way back in 2007, it’s been a while coming for Kodaline to come into place. While In A Perfect World is an enjoyable listen, it’s very much akin to fellow Irish/Scot outfit Snow Patrol. Slowly but surely the majority of the songs on the album build up to leap with an explosion of alternative pop rock goodness that saw Run and Chasing Cars so very thrashed for SP. Love Like This breaks the tradition somewhat, with a harmonica adding a near Mumford & Sons type feel, while Brand New Day and Coldplay’s Lovers In Japan could be sisters. With songs like All I Want and High Hopes aiming to tug on the heartstrings with big notes and instrumental jams, it’s only a matter of time before one of these songs end up in a coda for an emotional episode of Grey’s Anatomy. If that’s your thing, you’ll love this album. If it’s not, you’ll be disappointed that almost every song sounds like another song another band did. Having said that, the album is pleasant and listenable albeit unoriginal, yet will certainly mark success for Kodaline. Lachlan Aird

They say music is cyclical, which is to say that no matter what is ‘new’ or ‘fresh’ now, there was someone who did it before. Some folks may liken this idea to plagiarism, which is exactly what some bands (and their lawyers) have thought too. We all know the Ice Ice Baby/Under Pressure debacle, but examples of artists “borrowing” from others are plentiful. Don’t believe me? Check out Lady Gaga’s Born This Way then have a listen to Madonna’s Express Yourself. Still not convinced? Listen to Katy Perry’s E.T. And then listen to All The Things She Said by the sort-of lesbian Russian pop duo t.A.T.u. Most folks only know of British band Wire from the lawsuit they filed a few years back against Britpop band Elastica. The lawsuit revolved around the fact that Elastica’s 1995 single Connection bore more than a passing resemblance to Wire’s Three Girl Rhumba from 1977. After the suit was settled out of court, and it’s safe to say that Wire was largely responsible for a number of bands performing today. From Brit-pop to post-punk to industrial to electronic, one could make the argument that Wire had been there, and done that. Ryan Lynch

From its grating and unsettling opening Brennisteinn, that is more reminiscent of a sample from Ringu rather than Jónsi’s pretty work on We Bought A Zoo, it’s clear that Kveikur isn’t going to be as mainstream as 2008’s accessible Gobbledigook. Given that Sigur Rós now perform as a three-piece (after keyboardist Kjartan’s departure) and with no primary keys presence, their sound was bound to change. What they seem to have done is slipped back into their progressive and ambient rock origins. Seasoned Sigur Rós fans will fist pump at this, as Jónsi’s wailing vocals take a sideline to the layers of sounds. First single Isjaki was probably chosen as the least weird offering and the one song that will win in curious new fans while title track Kveikur is the most atmospheric and foreboding. It’s also the one track where Jónsi’s vocals enhance the total experience, as even though you can’t understand a word he’s saying, you feel like you know exactly what he’s on about and share in his unease. While keys are understandably lacking through much of the album, Var, the instrumental final track, rounds off the album with a simple piano tune that is layered with some threatening distortion – of course. Lachlan Aird

rise in the presence of someone who embodies every known definition of ‘voluptuous’. A quick snap to the microphone and Browne is in action, belting out the first of her jazz chords that would make Tina Turner nod approvingly. While the performers definitely lend themselves to dramatic characterisation on stage, Browne thankfully doesn’t lose touch of reality altogether. By not taking herself too seriously, it allows the audience to unwind, with everyone soon shuffling along. Perhaps the only disappointment is that following a break that lent itself to an extended breakout dance solo from The Rackettes, Browne reappears without a costume change. After removing one of the front row punter’s backpacks for him so that he can dance properly, Browne dedicates Love Letter to “Dimitri with the backpack”, before moving into a crowd pleasing rendition of Salt’N’Pepa’s classic Whatta Man. Returning for an encore of crowd pleaser Aeroplane, with its thumping chorus that will ricochet through your head long after you’ve left, Browne finally calls it a night on a definite high note. As the crowd picks their jaws up from off the floor and readjust themselves from a heavy boogying session, Clairy Browne & The Bangin’ Rackettes leave the stage knowing their job here is done.

Georgi Kay In My Mind (Independent)

AAAA A wave of déjà vu will wash over you listening to the title track of 20-year-old Perth indie pop pursuer Georgi Kay. In My Mind is indeed lended to that remix by Ivan Gough and Feenixpawl, but stands strong on its own accord. The other five tracks are just as poignant, with each of them standing strong on their own hind legs, which is a triumph giving many artists are banking on a disposable single each year or so to get them by. Ipswich is warm where Joga is melancholic, while Right Next To You incorporates an electric buzz that may be too saccharine for some indie audiences. Breakfast In Bedlam croons in a Julia Stone-ish way, but with more of guttural strength to the spaciousness, rather than a waifish warble, with Lionheart securing Kay’s place as someone to keep an eye on. Give this girl a contract. Lachlan Aird

Love Parade King Me (Independent)

Aa Naming a band must be really hard. At first glance it seems so easy, I mean, there are so many awesome band names out there. Names that are synonymous with God given talent and awesomeness. But then there are the really shitty band names. Love Parade is goofy power pop band from Sydney and is generally likeable enough. Their songs are inoffensive musings on love, buds and good times. Aside from being a generic, ultimately forgettable band, Love Parade is the name of the German festival that claimed the lives of 21 music lovers back in 2010 due to poor planning and a panicked audience. Whether the band knew this or not, ignorance is no excuse for bad taste. Ryan Lynch RipITUPMAGAZINE//ripitup.com.au

ler Travel tune or And F Winter by Ryan

After two years of writing and performing what were essentially folk songs, line-up changes within Traveller And Fortune saw them take on some new influences. Frontman Tom West claims this eventually became the driving audial aesthetic of their forthcoming EP and new single Alaska.

est attributes the creative direction of the current batch of recordings to former member Ryan Oliver, who was the main advocate for adding drums and a more pop-tinged sensibility to the band while in the studio. Their evolution draws comparisons to that of Brisbane band The Trouble With Templeton, who debuted with one of the best nu-folk albums of 2011 to eventually add a full band and take a decidedly more ‘indie’ style of vibe.

West doesn’t believe that Traveller will necessarily continue along this path. His solo work remains firmly folk based and the recent addition of Kaurna Cronin to replace Oliver has returned the band to more familiar territory, at least in a live setting. That’s not to say that the new EP won’t be an accurate representation of the band’s music, more that it was simply a snapshot in time of the line up and the musical path they were exploring. “This new CD definitely has an element of indie-ing it up,” explains West, “though it was never my intention to drive it that way. It happened for a few reasons, especially with Ryan bringing his quite significant flavour to the record which leant a more contemporary, drum-based pop sound to our songs as a consequence. “I was really conflicted about that while we recording a couple of the tracks particularly,” West confides. “For me,

personally, the jury is still out whether the songs are best represented on the EP, but that’s not me saying that I don’t think the songs are still very good. Little Plastic People for example, has come a long way since the first time we recorded it and is better for it I think. When we come to the next lot of recording though, I think we’ll be taking it back a bit from the direction it’s veered in.” I Am Only Snow is due for release later this year. The second single Alaska is as rich in layers as the Alaskan landscape itself. With exploration at the forefront of your mind, this track can only take you somewhere rich with beauty.

It’s been one year since Barossa Valley local Sam Brittain released his debut album, Our Shining Skin. Learning from one of the best, he has found a welcome mentor in the UK’s Mike Rosenburg (Passenger). Performing a number of support slots on Rosenburg’s most recent Australian tour proved to be a game changing experience ahead of Brittain’s biggest national tour to date. With his songwriting moving from a retrospective outlook to one that’s more observational, Brittain and his full band will be kicking off their national tour with a hometown show. Featuring songs from Our Shining Skin along with some new tracks you can catch the show at Trinity Sessions on Sun Jul 14 with support from Thom Lion. Tickets through Dramatix.
