Good Beer Week (The Official One) Returns!

Described as Australia's pre-eminent beer event by the organisers (who have clearly never honoured a Sunday barbecue - or a Tuesday evening) Good Beer Week is celebrating it's eighth anniversary in Melbourne with a lineup featuring famous chefs, classes, degustations, live music and the apparently...

Imagine Dragons.

Because those reptilian relics are far more interesting than what you're about to hear. Nevada-based band Imagine Dragons is hitting Australia with their 'Evolve' tour this May. The band and the beast do have a commonality in that they both have been claimed by all manner of...

1, 2, 3 Take My Hand And Come With Me

Because we're going to watch a rebirth. The vault is spreading its legs wide once again after fifteen long years of being knock kneed and stagnant to squeeze out the second coming. Who's coming? Does it really matter anymore? Awash with echoing memories of Renault Capturs and spunky silhouettes...

You Did Wait, Missy Higgins, You Did Wait

Angus & Julia. It’s a Hell of a Gentle Stoning.

Looking for incredibly processed folk music? Look no further. Sounding just like they've jumped right out of an advertisement for an environmentally sound car, Angus and Julia Stone are here and they're wearing all manner of non-confrontational beanies and being unhealthily pale. Though that's not the...

An Evening with Hillary Rodham Clinton

It is difficult to describe this one. Though it's not difficult to understand the frenzy behind the sold-out tickets. It is a matter of intense curiosity and, for most, an attempt to try to help unpack the insanity of the recent political climate in America. While it is...

Darlings! Possums! Barry Humphries is Home to Reveal the Man Behind the Mask

In an era wherein the greatest talents of previous generations are fully appreciating the gravity of their pasts, you can be assured that this particular talent's past will tug at your intellectual heartstrings rather than your gag reflex. This icon of home-grown comedy brings a...

La Traviata; vedi traduttore automatico.

Within the infamously tortured and bloody opus of Italian Opera, there exists a work in which you can (comparatively) safely keep your peckers up. If ever there were a by-the-numbers tragic romance, it's this perennially standard three act opera that, at its very core, vehemently...
