Incubus
An Inkling For Incubus "We’ve got a lot of material from a lot of different records, so you know, a setlist is kind of a journey from beginning to end.” They’re not kidding. INCUBUS notched up their 20th year in 2011, and the current album, ...
Cavalera Conspiracy
Beneath The Conspiracy CAVALERA CONSPIRACY was formed in 2007 when Iggor Cavalera called his brother Max after a ten year period of silence. The split came in 1996 after the murder of Max’s stepson forced him to leave the band the brothers founded, Sepultura. A ...
Noah Taylor & The Sloppy Boys
Taylor Made To Delight And Disturb Noah Taylor. One of Australia’s most beloved actors, although he wouldn’t have you believe it. Despite playing significant and deeply memorable parts in Shine, He Died With a Felafel In His Hand, Almost Famous, Flirting, Red Dog (I could ...
The Panics

Foster The People
Power To The People This time last year, LA’s FOSTER THE PEOPLE were riding the wave of hype ignited by debut single and sole release Pumped Up Kicks. 12 solid months of international touring later and the hype has crystallised into fame and chart success. ...
Looking Glass
Beyond the Looking Glass If you’ve been attending heavier shows in Canberra in the last seven years, chances are you’ve found yourself drawn to the stage when three of Canberra’s maestros have been plying their Sabbathy fuelled riffs, driving bass lines and world class guitar ...
Dem Slackers
Sonic Death Fart In an industry currently monopolised by 30-something half bearded millionaires, it is refreshing to see that the EDM torch is slowly being passed down to the next generation of producer/DJs. The new breed are raw and exciting, with potent rock star DNA ...
