“I’m inviting you to join me for one last tour as Ivan Ooze before going on indefinite hiatus. For the past 6 years I’ve had the absolute pleasure of rapping on different stages around the country, touring with so many of my childhood heroes, releasing music that has been heard around the world, streamed hundreds of thousands of times and been able to make even a small difference in people’s lives and it’s time for me to turn the page to the next chapter. Before I head off I just want to say I cannot thank all of you enough for making my hip hop dreams come true. I wanted to be a rapper since I was 8 years old and it’s been nothing but a blessing to have you legends supporting me the whole way. Let’s hang out one last time.” See Ivan on his last hoorah on Saturday May 25 at the Republic Bar in Hobart.

Also playing on Saturday June 1 will be Clowns at the Brisbane Hotel for their Nature/Nurture album tour. Nature/ Nurture - the record that has struck Clowns a deal with punk empire Fat Wreck Chords, sold out of coloured vinyl variants and won them first prize in a national hot-sauce championship - has been dubbed by Stack Magazine as “their strongest record yet”. It’s an implosion of punk soaked garage, hardcore and psychedelia that’s a sonic nod to punk of the ages, yet with hardly a touch of nostalgia and refreshingly unique. It’s already gained critical acclaim the world over with Alternative Press in the US exclusively premiering the record to their 1.2 million Facebook followers, placing number 1# in the April 2019 Visions chart (Germany’s leading alternative publication) and is sure to expand ever higher on the foundations the band have laid through their relentless DIY style touring that has seen them exhibit everywhere between punk floor shows in the jungles of Borneo, the world’s biggest heavy music festivals, Marvel Stadium with Foo Fighters and your best mates backyard. Tickets from Oztix. THE BIG TOP The Rock & Roll Circus tour rolls in to Australia in 2019 featuring a two hour concert production that assembles a band to celebrate the talent, the hits and the legacies of the original stars of Rock N’ Roll – Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Bill Haley, Jerry Lee Lewis and The Big Bopper. Travelling all around Australia from May to November, there will be two stops in Tasmania. On Friday September 6 the Rock & Roll Circus will visit the Launceston Country Club, and on Saturday September 7, it will be at Wrest Point Showroom. Tickets for both concerts are available via www. ticketmaster.com.au, and will cost you around $66.

SIMPLE TRUTHS
MATT CORBY IS AN INTERESTING CHARACTER TO SAY THE LEAST. FIRST APPEARING ON AUSTRALIAN IDOL, AND THEN WINNING AUSTRALIA’S HEARTS WITH ‘BROTHER’, MATT HAS PERMEATED THE AUSTRALIAN MUSIC SCENE. HOWEVER HIS LATEST ALBUM RAINBOW VALLEY IS A STEP ABOVE THE REST. I HAD A CHAT TO MATT ABOUT THE ALBUM, HIS MINI-DOCUMENTARY AND HIS UPCOMING HOBART SHOW. Matt’s latest album is an accumulation on everything he’s done before and more. It’s experimental, however it still feels like a Matt Corby collection. More than anything though, it has important thoughts and feelings put into it. “It’s based around the people that are choosing to fight the good, moral fight in life. The people settling down with their family and cultivate the relationships in spite of their sense of their impending doom that we all feel. Feeling like ticking time-bombs walking around. The whole song for me, highlights that. I think the song is split into two parts, my anxiety of settling down as a person and putting my roots down and my limitations on that, just as like a selfish person, like everyone else” Art can be created out of truly beautiful places and more often than not it is incredibly interesting to hear the backstory behind an artist’s work. Matt Corby allowed us to hear this, by releasing a mini-documentary all about the creation of his latest album Rainbow Valley, his inspiration and why he does what he does. However, this doco was not an easy task for Matt. “ I didn’t so much decide as people made suggestions and told me it would be good, to try explain myself somehow and to create some content for people to see. For me, I’m pretty private, and in doing that it felt hard to be myself in the process of trying to explain. I haven’t even seen it to be honest. I’ve seen an edit and I was like ‘oh I sound like an idiot’ and then I didn’t watch it” One of the main topics Matt discusses in the documentary is his son, who is only under a year old, and how his life has changed since becoming a dad. In particular, he greatly discusses his son listening to his music and how he hopes it inspires him. “I don’t know, I feel like if he wants to ask me about the specific meaning of things, it will open up certain conversations about the way that I see the world and I can then bounce of his idea of the way he does. To be honest, when his taste in music is somewhat well-rounded, i just want to see if he even likes it” Matt Corby is coming back to Hobart to play a show at the beautiful Odeon Theatre. Matt’s sound has evolved and manifested itself into a full-bodied proclamation that he ensures will provide for a good live show. “It’s a pretty big outfit on stage, I think we’re about eight people. Beautiful voices singing in unison harmony. It’s a pretty good time to be honest. I’m jumping around on a few instruments. It’s fun. I definitely am having the most fun I’ve ever had and I think, from the shows that we’ve played so far, that the crowd have had an equal amount of fun”

GOOD TIMES THINGS ARE RELATIVELY QUIET AT THE MINUTE FOR SAM CROMACK, GUITARIST AND VOCALIST FOR BRISBANE INDIEPOP BAND BALL PARK MUSIC. THE BAND WILL SET OUT ON A MASSIVE NATIONAL TOUR (INCLUDING HEAPS OF REGIONAL SHOWS)- THE GOOD GOOD MOOD TOUR, A REFERENCE TO THEIR 2018 ALBUM, GOOD MOOD- IN MAY/JUNE, BUT FOR NOW, CROMACK IS ENJOYING A REST AND A BIT OF BREAKFAST (BUTTER AND VEGEMITE ON TOAST.)
Ball Park Music have been going from strength to strength; last year, as well as hitting triple j’s Hottest 100 at #39 with The Perfect Life Does Not Exist, the album Good Mood was voted #1 top albums poll. The album also scored three ARIA nominations: Producer of the Year (the band produced the album themselves with handy mixing from Paul McKercher [You Am I, Josh Pyke, Sarah Blasko], Engineer of the Year (Cromack himself) and Best Cover Art, from a photo taken by the band’s guitarist Dean Hanson. The band went on a massive joint tour with fellow indie-pop act, WA’s San Cisco. They also released a sweet vinyl box set of their album back catalogue (five albums since their 2011 debut, Happiness and Surrounding Suburbs.) Having chatted to Cromack last year about whether or not he Googles himself, I wanted
to see if anything has changed on that front, especially considering the ongoing battle between creatives and Facebook’s absurd algorithms. This has been on his mind also. “I guess across social media, mainly Instagram and Twitter, you get a strong interaction with fans there. I feel like things have changed since the band first begun; we used to Facebook heaps, and now that’s turned to shit. We’d Google things like what press coverage we were getting, but we don’t do it that much anymore. My dad does a bit of Googling (laughs); he sends me a review every now and then.” What Cromack and I found ourselves talking about was how people, in 2019 and beyond, find new music. How do you, as a band, make yourself stand in such a busy, chaotic marketplace like the internet? How do you find your audience, and allow them to easily find you? “Once upon a time, prior to the internet, you relied on someone else to steer you towards interesting new things, but it’s easy to search for yourself now. The role that’s still important is having someone who really loves music and is knowledgeable discussing it, for the fun of it, and it’s nice to have people who enjoy something talking about it. That’s the side I find harder to access; I don’t need someone to tell me where to find new music, but I love talking about new music. It feels so splintered.” Cromack, like so many of us, also finds it difficult to engage with daily politics; although he likes to stay informed, it’s a tough slog considering how deeply frustrating and often upsetting it can be. “I feel like I move in waves of participating. I mostly enjoy staying on top of the news. I’m a silent Twitter user, reading what’s going on and never saying a thing. I can’t be bothered engaging, I’m just happy to sit back and watch it all unfold. Paul [Furness, keys/trombone] is really interested in Australian politics, we love chatting about that- but you have times in your life where things are like. ‘fuck this, it’s the same circus, I’m tuning out’.” “It makes me wonder what will become of a lot of that stuff.” he continues”. Every single aspect of media is getting consumed, but it’s sort of worthless at the same time, because no-one’s paying for anything. I’m a ‘live in the deep future, worry about everything kind of guy’ (laughs). I’m lucky I have bandmates, some of whom are crazy optimistic and much better than me at going, ‘it’s okay, everything’s great’.” Although he describes himself as something of an anxious type, Cromack is chuffed with the way his band is trucking, and loves the hell out of all the folks that come to see them. Music has such a massive importance to him that he can’t quite imagine what he’d be doing otherwise. “I don’t know exactly what would happen, it would scare the shit out of me if I wasn’t doing this. I’d still have to do music. I’ve done work with the department at QUT [Queensland University of Technology] in their music department, so I could do that. Maybe I’d get my chef apprenticeship, I like food. I tend to make things that look pretty but don’t taste that great (laughs)” LISA DIB

MAKING CHANGES FORMERLY KNOWN AS BALTIMÖRE, HUONVILLE BASED ARTIST BALTIMÖRE CHARLÓT HAS JUST RELEASED HER DEBUT EP METAMORPHOSIS. I SPOKE TO HER ABOUT THE RELEASE, LIVING IN THE HUON VALLEY AND WHAT’S NEXT FOR THE PROJECT.
You’ve just released your debut EP; congratulations! Can you tell us a bit about Metamorphosis? I named the EP Metamorphosis after my favourite book by Franz Kafka. I feel as if the EP deals with identifying oneself and the certain struggles that go along with it, much like Kafka’s story does. The EP has four songs, which were written at different points in my life. The first track “Serpents” is a mid-tempo hip-hop track and it deals with a bad experience I had years ago. The second track “Skin Scenes” is a slower, brooding track which is about exposing your vulnerability to someone who did not really understand or deserve it. The third track “Eulogy” is an organ driven ballad about a very personal event that happened recently, and which I am still coming to terms with. The final song “Like You” is a boppy, pop-infused collaboration with Adelaide artist China Roses, and it rounds off the EP with a modern love anthem of sorts! You wrote, recorded and mixed the EP; did you come up against any challenges during the process? I feel like there are creative but positive challenges when it comes to being a self-made artist. I have a tough ethic when it comes to making music and, even if it involves other people, I will always have the final say on a song - which in some cases can take a while, but it is always worth it! One of the challenges with making ‘Metamorphosis’ was the attempt to make a lo-fi, “homely” sounding record, while making it as emotionally charged and clear as possible. For example, if you listen closely to the third track “Eulogy”, I deliberately included the background metronome and cassette tape sounds in order to give it a raw, emotional sound. You’re currently based in the Huon Valley, what prompted the decision to set up there? It is a quiet area. Not a lot happens. The scenery is beautiful and it is often cold, meaning you will prefer to stay indoors much of the time. All these qualities lend to more time to write music! I feel as if my music is influenced both by the calm, peaceful countryside of the Huon and the urban, street lifestyle of my birth-town Adelaide in South Australia. I am both a Tassie and Adelaide girl at heart. At the moment though, Tassie is my main place and my creative hub. You’re playing at the Republic in April, what can people expect from the shows? I’ll be hitting the stage with Ruben Reeves, Swaz & the Benjamins, and Steeze on the 19th. Expect a mix of everything: Happy songs, sad songs, slow songs, fast songs and new songs! Expect not only songs from “Metamorphosis” but from what could be on future singles, albums, mixtapes and so forth. What’s in store for Baltimöre Charlót in 2019? More music! I will be heading to the studio soon to record more songs and get things ready for another release. Could be a new single or could be an even bigger project! I am in talks with my team about doing potential videos and film projects. I also hope to do more shows not only in Tassie, but also interstate. HOLLY LESZCZYNSKI

POWERHOUSE
HOBART BASED ROCKERS JAX AND THE WAYWARD ARE HEADING OUT TO SUPPORT MELBOURNE BAND ABLAZE ON THE TASMANIAN LEG OF THEIR “LONG WAY HOME” SINGLE TOUR. I SPOKE TO LEAD SINGER JACQUI “JAX” SMIALEK ABOUT HER INFLUENCES, THE LOCAL MUSIC SCENE AND WHAT’S IN STORE FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR.
With vocals often compared to the likes of Janis Joplin and Dolores O’Riordan, Jax recognises that her influences come and go. “Right now, I love Meg Mac and her strong soul pop vibes and the vocal style she uses is so identifying and unique. She’s a different genre, but I definitely think her dark, moody vibes really inspire that desire to create atmosphere when writing. I loved Chrissy Amphlett’s daring stage persona. I’ve always loved strong characters, strong voices, daring, provocative personas. I love Beth Hart’s voice and no-fucks-given pure rock presence. I love Anthony Keidis’ rhythmic singing style. I could go on all day!” Playing support for some pretty legendary Aussie bands like Icehouse and Spiderbait has got to be a pretty nerve-wracking experience. “Of course. I think having some butterflies before a gig is healthy, but these days I think that feeling comes over as more of an energy which is awesome to release on stage and put towards playing a great show. Both of those bands were amazingly friendly, professional, and welcoming, and when they call on you to support them it’s a great feeling to know that they dig what you’re doing. Playing an integral role in the local music scene, Jax shared her thoughts about the music community in Tassie. “I think it’s very diverse and generally we’re all supportive and encouraging of each other. I don’t feel an intense ‘competition’ as such or anything like that. Tassie has some awesome artists who are putting out some really cool material. I think Tassie feels the same squeeze as everywhere else really, with the current debates in the country around venues closing, noise restrictions, lock outs, musician fees, etc. Having said
that though, there are people who get out there and support their local music scene and here in Hobart, we’ve got some great venues on board with putting on live original music, including giving new and upcoming young bands a chance to get up and play.” Supporting Melbourne rockers Ablaze in April, the band are keen to be reunited. “These guys are like our Melbourne fam, we’re looking forward to catching up and getting back on stage together. I’m really looking forward to seeing these guys live again, they are just incredible, so energetic, massive sounding, pure Aussie hard rock.” As for what’s in store for Jax and the Wayward for 2019: “Some Tassie shows, some Melbourne shows, a couple of videos, and an album release! We’ve got a few to-be-confirmed things in the pipeline too, which is exciting. We’ll be releasing a new single before we hit the road with Ablaze this month, with filming for the video happening on April 6th. We’ve also just confirmed a couple of gigs in Melbourne and Albury/Wodonga in May, so the plan is to release another vid before we head to the mainland as well. We’ve got an album’s worth of material sitting in the studio which we’ve been working away at, and we’re on track to release by mid 2019.” Holly Leszczynski
See Jax and the Wayward perform as part of Ablaze’s Long Way Home tour on three dates across Tasmania this month: Thursday April 25 – Pub Rock Diner – Devonport Friday April 26 – Republic Bar & Café – Hobart Saturday April 27 – Ironhorse Bar - Launceston
