PROUDLY INDEPENDENTthe lake macquarie post

When it comes to self-referential, intro-spective and bloody brilliant 90s acoustic pop, you simply can’t have the conversa-tion without mentioning The Lemonheads.

With such songs as My Drug Buddy, It’s A Shame About Ray, Outdoor Type and a cracking cover of Mrs Robinson, these guys were at the top of the indie rock tree.

In recent years The Lemonheads have been in something of a state of flux, having released no new original studio material since 2006’s self-titled effort, but of late frontman Evan Dando has been holed back up in the studio with the likes of founding member and early co-songwriter Ben Deily (rejoining the ranks for the first time since 1989) and ex-bassist Juliana Hatfield (well-known for her bountiful solo career).

This December, playing alongside ac-complished local act Spookyland, The Lemonheads will bring us new music mixed in with the classics - it promises to be a special affair for long-term fans and newcomers alike.

WHAT'S ON According to Taylor Swift, the title for

her latest album, 1989, is a nod to all of the ground-breaking artists, Madonna and Annie Lennox for example, who were breaking down barriers and changing the musical goalpoasts in 1989, the year of Swift’s birth. Fair dues - but the inherent problem here is there is nothing remotely groundbreaking or even memorable about this twee collection of post teen pop.That’s not to say it’s a terrible album - it’s actually quite a fun dance-pop outing that is sure to win her many more fans and send her stock soaring even higher.

It’s an album that revels in a teenager-esque gossip - songs about boys she likes, boys she used to like et al. In short is musical confection of the highest order with very little substance. But at the end of the day, isn’t that what pop music is supposed to be about?

If you like a bit of mind-numbing vacuousness with your cinematic fare, then this, rather pointless sequel should be just the ticket. The gals - Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha - are back but this time they’ve ditched Manhattan for Abu Dhabi, following Samantha’s movie-star ex. Much of the charm of the series and the original flick was the Manhattan setting and seeing how they cope in the desert in a pair of Manolo Blahnik’s is pointless.

If you loved the first in-stalment of the TV show reboot, then, you’ll more than likely be doubled over in laughter with this self-effacing and utterly hilarious sequel.

After making their way through high school (twice), big changes are in store for officers Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) when they go deep undercover at a local college. But when Jenko meets a kin-dred spirit on the football team, and Schmidt infil-trates the bohemian art major scene, they begin to question their partner-ship. Now they don’t have to just crack the case - they have to figure out if they can have a mature relationship.

Do you think that your version of US Forces rivals the original? Then ABC Newcastle wants to hear from you.

Kicking off this week, their Oils Ain’t Oils cover song competition is calling for all local musos, of any persuasion to enter their best rendition of any song from the mighty pub rock legends.

The top three entries will be profes-sionally recorded by ABC Newcastle

Entries are open now until Friday, November 21. For more information and to enter, visit the promotions page at abc.net.au/newcastle.

If acts like Black Keys, Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals , David Gray, Jimmy Cliff and George Clinton had you thinking about making the trip up the Pacific for the iconic Byron Bay Bluesfest, well, last week’s third line-up announcement should push you over the edge.

Just check this out - The Gyspy Kings, Rodrigo Y Gabriela, Jurassic 5, the great

Bluesbreaker John Mayall (pictured), Keb Mo, Jake Shimabakuro , Michael Franti’s Soulshine and the Music Maker Foundation featuring Cool John Fergu-son, Little Freddie King, Alabama Slim and George Stancell. Wow.

No foolin’ hip-hop superstar Nelly is gearing up to bring his slick stylings to Newcastle next year as part of an Aussie/NZ your.

Responsible for such chat-toppers as It’s Getting Hot In Here and Shake Ya Tail-feather, Nelly will be visiting our shores for the first time in four years and will be bringing B.o.B who found himself at the top of the charts back in 2012 with his track So Good. While Nelly is sure to bust out some crowd favourites, chances are

we’ll get a fair chunk of his latest album M.O - the Grammy award-winning slab that features collabs from Nicki Minaj, Pharell and Future.

Catch Nelly at Newcastle Panthers on Friday, January 9. Tickets are onsale now through Oztix and Moshtix.

The grey matter

Given the fact that punk rock raconteur Henry Rollins has all but given up on musical projects, the fact that he appears (albeit in a spoken

word capacity) on Mark of Cain’s latest single Grey 11, is testament to the respect the uncompromising Adelaide three piece still commands.

“It was really quite serendipitous,” bass player Kim Scott said of the collaboration.

“We were in the studio and [John] Stanier [drums] had gone home and we were adding some extra guitar and other overdubs. We heard that Hank was in town so, we called him up and, without hesitation he said, ‘I’m there’.

“So, he shows up and we didn’t play him the song, we didn’t show him any lyrics, just gave him a sense of the song, which is about coming back from a bad conflict and basically being betrayed by loved ones and Hank just nailed it in one take.”

The song in question is from Mark of Cain’s latest album Songs of the Third and Fifth - an album that, while a long time coming, 11 years in fact, has definitely been worth the wait with some pundits

STEPHEN BISSET

MUSIC

declaring it their best work since their seminal Battlesick and Ill At Ease albums. Their brutal, off kilter wall of sound - that recalls an Antipodean Big Black or Shel-lac - is still well and truly untarnished. Further, given that Rollins produced their Ill At Ease set - there’s definitely a sense of things coming full circle.

Scott said the album was plagued with challenges - both personal and pragmatic - such as the logistical challenges of the getting American drummer, John Stanier into the studio - no mean feat given that the former Helmet drummer also sits behind the kit for Tomahawk and Battles.

“It’s funny because there was a point

where Stanier said he thought it would never see the light of day - but here we are,” Scott said.

“It was a long time coming but, thank-fully we have quite a hardcore fan-base who you’d best describe as ‘stayers’.”

Scott said that he believed the reason that the stayers were still staying was due to the band’s uncompromising attitude.

“There’s definitely no compromise with Mark of Cain and there never has been,” he said.

“We were always going to do what we want to do - John has never been inter-ested in following trends in his writing or writing hooks.

“We’ve been accused of being a dicta-torship and that is definitely the case - I mean the fact that we’ve had 14 drum-mers tells a take - but John has always had a very clear vision.”

While John Stanier’s other commit-ments will keep him away from the band’s current tour, his shoes will be more than ably filled by home-grown drummer, Eli Green.

“Anyone who knows our stuff knows it’s not the easiest to play drums to, so we thought it would be tough, to find someone. But Eli turns up and we asked him to play Tell Me and he pulls out this sheet music, and just nailed it.”

INTERSTELLAR John Wick [Rated MA] Reviewed at Event Cinemas Glendale by Stephen Bisset

Whiplash [Rated MA] Reviewed at Tower Cinemas, Newcastle Amelia Parrott

While I’ve long held the belief that Keanu Reeves peaked with Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure and has since turned in some of the most ham-fisted performances in cinematic history (Much Ado About Nothing anyone?), after seeing this hyper-violent neo-noir, I may have to rethink that assertion.

While the plot is extremely by the numbers and very predict-able, the film’s execution is anything but with the film’s many action sequences filmed with a methodical precision rather than the frenzied Michael Bay jump cuts.

Wick is a one-time mafia hit man, who after the death of his wife from cancer, is left with only two things he cares about - his car and a puppy given to him by his wife. When thugs break into his house, beat him up, kill the dog and steal the car, he rage quits from reality and goes on a revenge-soaked killing spree leading him to the son of his former employer. The normally wooden Reeves brings a welcome stoicism to proceedings.

Adapted from director, Damien Chazelle’s own 2013 short, Whiplash centres on the turbulent relationship between shy, aspiring jazz drummer, Andrew (Miles Teller, Footloose and Divergent), and a teacher at his prestigious New York music School, Fletcher (J.K Simmons, Law & Order, the Closer).

In Fletcher, Chazelle has created a psychopath that would give Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction a run for her money.

Fletcher pushes Andrew beyond his limits, and then, pushes him some more, all in the pursuit of perfection.

Chazelle masterfully manipulates your emotions throughout the film. You feel Andrew’s esteem grow when he pleases his tyrannical tutor, and you experience the full weight when it all come crashing down at the wave of Fletcher’s hand. The same goes with Fletcher. Most of the time he’s bat-shit crazy but you can’t help but cling on to his rare moments of empathy.

True to its name, Whiplash is an emotional rollercoaster. But like any wild ride, in the end it will leave you thrilled.

A.G.T THE PRINCE OF WALES SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 9

After more than 12 years of laying down the coolest, funkiest and most infectious grooves for some of this region’s best bands and per-formers, bass player, Steve Wooster and drummer, Adam Morris have combined to create one of the most exciting and innovative new acts in this country - A.G.T. (Absolute Groove Therapy).

Wooster and Morris have mixed together the freedom, diversity and range of tunes only a DJ can provide, with the addictive energy and pure funky groove of live bass and drums. Combine this awesome soundtrack of floor filling tunes and big beats with guest artists such as Adam Ferrier (trumpet/ Percus-sion), Jason Bone (sax) and Jesito McLennan (conga/ timbale/ percus-sion) and you have yourself an act to write home about.

The A.G.T songlist consists of liter-ally hundreds of tracks and artists spanning almost any genre. While the guys specialize in filling a dance floor, almost any style is possible. Be it the latest Top 40 and dance/house/club tracks, to cool chill out jazz dinner and background music through to 60s/70s/80s and 90s classics, A.G.T will have it covered.

I f you’re on the hunt for value and variety in your next meal out, look no further than the new Doncaster

Bistro at Stockton RSL.Headed up by chef Raymond Yeong,

the Doncaster serves up an array of delectable, yet affordable, Asian and Australian dishes.

Sampling the bistro’s a la carte menu, my dining partner and I were treated to two club classics, surf and turf, and salt and pepper king prawns, both were truly tasty and immaculately presented.

As well as Aussie favourites, there are plenty of Asian delights on offer on the expansive menu - from mouthwatering curries, to Thai, Malaysian and Chinese cuisine.

For those with larger appetites, the Doncaster Bistro’s all-you-can-eat buffet, open for dinner on Thursday and lunch on Sunday, represents great value at just $15 - and let’s face it, the only thing better than a Sunday roast is an all-you-can-eat Sunday roast.

H ot on the heels of his debut long player Startup Cult, hip-hop wunderkind will be heading to

the Bar on the Hill tonight (Wednesday) as part of the Uni’s “Stress Less” pre-exam sessions.

Allday, aka Tom Gaynor, told TE that he was looking forward to the show given that it was his first headline show in our fair city.

“Yeah I’m really psyched,” he said.“I’ve played in Newcastle before but

I’ve never headlined so it will be cool to scratch that off the list.”

2014 has been a pretty big year for the rapper who first piqued the nation’s interest with such EPs as Loners Are Cool and A Skateboard Soiree with plaudits coming thick and fast for the album - the record, featuring the earworms Right Now and You Always Know the DJ, debuted at number three on the ARIA charts - as well as punters clambering to catch a peek of Allday in action.

“Yeah I’m really surprised with the reaction to the album because I’m not really out there buying music so I was a bit unsure to be honest,” he said.

“But this year has been really busy - there’s been a couple of festival runs,

two headline shows and a trip to the US so it’s definitely all systems go.”

Allday said that while he was proud of his previous releases, he really wanted to step up his game for Startup Cult and judging by the slick production and bombastic beats, it’s definitely mission accomplished.

“I guess I wanted to be more of a perfectionist with this record,” he said.

“If I wasn’t happy with everything on a track I want to be able to go back and fix it - it was more about doing things for myself first.”

The Caddman returnsH aving last performed in our region

back in May with good mate Glenn Shorrock, there’s no deny-

ing that Newcastle is high on Brian Cadd’s touring agenda.

“I’ve said this so many times but Newcastle always provides crowds that just love their rock and roll - it’s a true rock and roll town - not just because of the fans but also because of the amount of talent the area has produced,” he told TE.

Cadd, who as recently returned from Nashville where he has been laying some finishing touches of a new-soon-to-be-released studio album, will be bringing a “greatest hits” show to Charlestown Bowl-ing Club and, when your back catalogue stretches the breadth of Cadd’s (from hits with his 70 supergroup Axiom - Little Ray of Sunshine, Arkansas Grass - through to solo gems as Ginger Man and Every Mother’s Son), writing a set for a show such as this, can be a bit of a problem.

“Yeah, it can be a head scratcher which is a problem of a lot of artists my age- you just can’t fit everything in. I mean obvi-ously you want to play your new stuff, and I’ll certainly be doing a few new songs, but there’d certainly be trouble if I didn’t play Ginger Man.”

STEPHEN BISSET

MUSIC

After his first notable outfit The Groop, who found fame with the track Woman You’re Breaking Me as well as being Russell Morris’ backup on his seminal The Real Thing, disbanded, he paired up with Shorrock (along with

Don Mudie (The Groop), Doug Lavery (The Valentines) and Chris Stockley (Cam-Pact) to form Australia’s first supergroup - Axiom - and while they only released two albums and disbanded two years later - they

became an integral part in the story of Australian rock and roll.

“Axiom was part of a movement that started around 1967 or 1968 in Australia where there was this great explosion of creativity,” Cadd explained. “Prior to that everything was a kind of a hybrid of what was coming out of America and England and then, all of a sudden at the end of the 1960s people started to strike out on their own and Australia began to rock so might-ily with the sound of some truly original music and I’m glad that I was able to be a part of that.

“It wasn’t just music, either you saw it in the incredibly unique original film and television we were producing - it really was an incredible time.”

Fast forward a number of years and there isn’t too much of the industry Cadd hasn’t seen. He has penned songs for the likes of Joe Cocker, The Pointer Sisters and Bonnie Tyler, lend his soundtrack talents to the likes of Morning of the Earth, Alvin Purple and The Heartbreak Kid as well as sitting on the other side of the fence as a label head and A & R man, but it is the art of songwriting that has kept him so passionate for so many years.

“I never really saw songwriting as a tool to get into the hit parade,’ he said.

“For me, success was always in the song itself and writing is definitely what still keeps it all going.”

W ith a name that literally means “the sacred place in the village where initiation ceremonies

end and a place where everybody comes to dance and find love”, it’s pretty much a given that a Bakoomba show is going to be nothing short of a joyous celebration.

The dynamic ten-piece is the brain-child of Fode Mane - an accomplished teacher and performer of African drum and dance from Senegal.

Bakoomba delivers infectious afrobe-ats, reggae, funk, percussion and jazz grooves, blending Fode’s African roots with a spicy selection of Western music, creating a universal flavour thanks to a driving rhythm section, slick horns, sassy femaile vocals and a slew of tradi-tional African percussion.

Fode has toured internationally with ‘Bakalama de Thionck Essyl’, Senegal’s

MUSIC

Uplifting Afrobeat

BAKOOMBASMALL BALLROOMSATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8

leading traditional performing arts troupes as well as performing at major festivals including Sydney Fringe Festi-val and Wollombi Music Festival.

Bakoomba arose out of Fode’s desire to express his musical heritage and blend it with more modern sounds in order to reach a wider audience. The band’s repertoire is largely based on traditional melodies from Fode’s culture with lyrics in his native tongue ‘Djola’.

The band has just completed a success-ful run of shows in Sydney and the north coast so are sure to be in full flight when they hit Newcastle again this week.

I f boisterous power-pop, with more than a healthy dash of punk thrown in for good measure is your bag, then

you’d do well to get to the Lass later this month to check out Fremantle-based three piece Axe Girl.

Featuring the talents of Jebediah rhythm section, Vanessa Thornton (bass) and Brett Mitchell (drums), Axe Girl is augmented by the sassy rock and roll swagger of London-bred frontwoman Addison Axe. The band are on the cusp of releasing their debut, self-titled long player and Axe said after receiving such positive feedback for the album’s teaser singles Give Me Your T-Shirt, Anamatronic and Silence, she was keen to see how punters would react to the rest of the album.

“If you’ve already heard our EP [Ghost Romance] or the singles, they’re a pretty good mission statement of what the album is about,” she said.

“We really are a live band and given that we have been playing quite a lot of late we all felt much more confident as a band going into this record - much more so than the EP where we were kind of still finding our feet.”

Despite only being a “thing” for around two years, Axe Girl certainly haven’t rested on their laurels , with two releases and snagging supports with the likes of

AXE GIRLLASS O’GOWRIEWEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19

Meat Puppets, the Bennies and Dallas Frasca. Axe said that she even picked up stumps and relocated from the UK to Perth so the band could keep going.

“I’m from London and I was in Perth a couple of years ago performing a show for the Fringe Festival,” she explained.

“I met Ness and we started jamming and then Brett came on board and next think I’ve moved from London to Perth to keep the band going - because we are just having so much fun.”

Down memory lane

C harlestown Bowling Club will be the scene of somewhat of a ‘nostal-gia-palooza’ this month when Gold

Cadillac, the Snape Brothers (pictured) and The Years team up for a night of rock solid fun with their Golden Years show.

Russell Snape of the Snape Brothers told TE that no musical stone would be left unturned as the three bands delve into all-killer, no-filler sets of solid gold classics.

“Yeah, it should be one hell of an entertaining night with arguably three of Newcastle’s most veteran bands,” Snape laughed.

“And we’ll be ploughing through almost four decades of great music. The Gold Cadillac guys do a lot of 50s and 60s stuff as well as some more modern stuff thrown in, and The Years, I understand that because they have a female singer they’ll be tacking a lot of female artists on the night and the Snape Brothers pretty much do everything in between.”

There’s no denying that, between them, these bands have more experience than most Newcastle bands have had hot dinners. The Snape Brothers - Russell, Mick and Chris have been plying their trade in our fair city since the early eighties, in one form or another and, as Snape said, they have no plans to stop anytime soon.

“We just love what we do,” he said.“I had a break for a couple of years but I

GOLDEN YEARSCHARLESTOWN BOWLING CLUBSATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15

was drawn back into it - it’s hard to keep away from playing music - I just love it.”

Having played with the likes of Chubby Checker, JPY and the Delltones, there’s no denying that Cold Cadillac certainly aren’t slouches either while The Years, featuring former members of Baron and front-woman Vera Francisci from Nightshift, also bring a formidable musical pedigree.
