I actually heard AC/DC during their sound check at my office a few weeks ago. It was…loud. Anyway, the Aussie rockers are hooking up with Ol’ Shellhead’s cinematic adventures once more for May 7′s sequel, Iron Man 2. If you’re a fan of the band or Tony Stark check out the official soundtrack Twitter page [...]
Purge + Audit Blog
My mate Mladen has finally started a blog. The long haired man with a stranger name than me certainly has some eclectic interests and his awareness of quirky sci-fi films, classic novels and music I’ve never heard of is most impressive. He unleashed his blog, The Drowning Machine last month. Check it out now. He’s [...]
Kirby Krackle Strike Again
Nerdcore band Kirby Krackle (who I interviewed at Broken Frontier last year) have just released the first single from their upcoming second album, E For Everyone. The duo, consisting of Kyle Stevens and Jim Demonakos, specialise in writing songs that make fanboys and girls tap their toes and smile wryly at all the witty references. [...]
MAdM and Comics
I’ve always been intrigued by the relationship between music and comics, and that link is growing rapidly as more artists from both disciplines grasp a greater understanding of how the two artforms can splendidly co-existFor example, Canadian singer Lights launched a motion comic to promote her new album, and I interviewed Coheed and Cambria’s frontman [...]
Lights Motion Comic
I’ve been discovering some great music lately (Mute Math is my current band of the moment) and it looks like I can add another artist to my list. Lights is a young Canadian singer who likes Phil Collins and whose artwork for her latest album The Listening was inspired by Watchmen. What’s not to like? [...]
One eskimO Music Toon
Now this is a band I’ve never heard of, so it’s gotta be cool! The trailer below is definitely worth checking out with some lush animation, and music to go with it. Press release below. WARNER PREMIERE TO DEBUT FIRST OF ITS KIND ‘VISUAL ALBUM’ “THE ADVENTURES OF ONE ESKIMO” BLENDS MUSIC AND ANIMATION INTO [...]
Spider-Man Sings
I’m actually quite curious about this project. Spider-Man, as Marvel’s flagship character has the ultimate cross-over appeal, and Marvel are banking on that as he appears in his very own Broadway show next year, with music from Bono and The Edge from U2 and direction from the well respected Julie Taymor, who has read hundreds [...]
Newsboys’ New Line-Up
Well, it appears the hugely successful band, Newsboys are changing their line-up again. It’s happened a lot these last few years. This is how it stands now – Aussie Paul Colman has left, former bassist Jody Davis is back, and surprisingly, baldie frontman Peter Furler has left and is being replaced by dcTalk’s Michael Tait. [...]
Newsboys Live: Houston We Are Go Review
I’ve bought every Newsboys live release from the VHS Step Up To The Microphone tour from a decade ago. I don’t buy every new album of theirs. Only delirious holds that honour for me, but Newsboys are a truly great band, and one of Australia’s most successful exports. Probably somewhere up with Hugh Jackman and [...]
Purge + Audit Free CD
I have a friend (yes, it’s true) named Mladen who’s quite the talented young man. The kind of guy that women want to be with and men want to be. No, wait. That’s James Bond. Anyway, Mladen has just released his debut CD, Purge + Audit for download on-line. I’ve shared it with a few [...]
delirious? Split Up
Sad news indeed. delirious? are one of the biggest Christian bands of the last decade, (and yes, the question mark is part of their name) They really re-invented what that term actually means. With songs you can worship to in church and songs you can shout out your car window, driving on a sunny day, [...]
TobyMac: Alive and Transported DVD/CD
dcTalk helped me become a Christian. I used to mock their cheesy and outdated Christian Television Association ads over a decade ago, then I saw their Welcome to the Freak Show live concert on VHS and couldn’t believe they were a Christian band. Surely Christian music had guys in braces playing harps and singing, “Hallelujah,” [...]
