Album Review: Nick Cave and Warren Ellis - White Lunar

Let me warn you; once CD Two has finished, there is silence and then boom - beware of the loud gyrating noise that erupts and spews forth.

Gig Watch: Marilyn Manson - Live In Melbourne

Knife on the microphone is reminiscent of a Psycho bath scene and he delivers Dope Show to the ever- respondent crowd. We're not sure about putting a towel down your pants then throwing to the crowd is really becoming but hey, the fan that caught it is probably never going to wash it... ever!

EP Review: The Cuckoos - Perfect View

Never in my life have I come across a band with such a bounty of "Side Projects" doing the rounds at once (including The Greasers and The Hondas) as I have with the lads from Australia's favourite Doo-Woppers, Little Red.

Music News: Big Day Out 2010

In keeping with the Big Day Out tradition of presenting some of the world's most dynamic emerging acts (as well an enormous quota of local acts), the big news of BDO 2010 is that the hottest band currently on the planet will close the event : Muse.

Album Review: Malcom Middleton - Waxing Gibbous

Malcolm Middleton - as his name suggests - and his album "Waxing Gibbous" is a soul searching journey through the well traversed land of Mediocrity.

Album Review: The Temper Trap - Conditions

"Conditions" is an unpredictable ride, but a good one. Web Wombat Music's Ben Slattery sits down and takes us on a musical review journey unlike anything you've ever experienced.

Gig Watch: Jamie T - Live At The Hi Fi Bar

Treays departs the stage with a grateful wave, while Dunson throws a well-deserved beer to a thirsty onlooker, Bones acquires a pack of cigarettes from another and Felber returns the graciously donated bra.

Album Review: Pearl Jam - Backspacer

The next 33 minutes was like running into an old friend at the pub. Trepidation was followed by small talk. By the third song, The Fixer, we were having a solid chat. Then tracks 7 through 9 were all laughs.

EP Review: Liam Finn & Eliza Jane - Champagne In Seashells

EP Opener Plane Crash is a soaring introduction to the deceptively sweet world of a Liam Finn song (which was a cornerstone of his earlier work in Betchadupa) where lullaby's erode into chaos.

Album Review: The Basics - Keep Your Friends Close

If you are familiar with The Basics in their live sense, "Keep Your Friends Close" might actually sound quite familiar – they have been road testing some of the songs for a while now.

Gig Watch: Paul Dempsey - Live At The Corner Hotel

On the hottest night that Melbourne had seen in quite some time, there was a great sense of anticipation among those gathered at the Corner to see Paul Dempsey play the songs from his debut solo album "Everything Is True".
