Live Music: Midnight Juggernauts @ Hifi BrisbaneWords: Clare Kempnich/Kate Scantleton Pictures: Kate Scantleton Wow. I think that was the only word I could muster after seeing Midnight Juggernauts‘ performance (Friday, August 21 at the Hi-Fi). I generally err on the side of caution when it comes to seeing electronic/dance acts as I worry about a band’s ability to replicate this kind of music... [Read more of this review]
The Emperor’s New Clothes, a Cinematic Affair: The Cat Empire play the TivoliWords: Sophie Hart Saturday, August 28 I have to admit I walked into this review process a sceptic. I haven’t had much exposure to The Cat Empire outside what I hear on the radio, and may have found the breakout hit Hello mildly irritating after over zealous DJ’s declared it was the only song I needed to hear for most of 2003. So, I wasn’t... [Read more of this review]
New Music: Laneous and the Family YahOne of Brisbane’s most favourite outfits is back with another release, just as fun and exciting (if not more so!) as the last. Laneous and the Family Yah have spent the last 18 months making sound waves sound so very different and light-hearted all over Australia, through both countless live performances and radio airplay. Their most recent offering... [Read more of this review]
New Music: Blue King Brown’s Never Fade AwayBlue King Brown are currently smashing singles out like there’s no tomorrow. Having just released their new album Worldwize, Never Fade Away is already their third single from this one release. Talk about a hard-working act! Being just as politically loaded as much of their other material, accompanied by an urgency in the melody, this song is one... [Read more of this review]

Cycle with styleOn a recent holiday in Japan one of many things I noticed was the sheer popularity of urban cycling and the style and grace in which women would cycle their way through the city streets – heels and all. I was amazed that there was not a sneaker or lycra outfit in sight. Sartorial sensibility reigned. In Brisbane there is a serious sport cycling culture... [Read more of this review]

Four-Eyed FashionToday, I am nervous. Not only is this my first foray into the world of interviewing a celebrity, today I have signed up to be apart of a one-on-one style session with Project Runaway’s Henry Roth. Henry Roth is an imposing man. Loud, gregarious and was in Brisbane as Specsaver’s (http://www.specsavers.com.au/) Style Ambassador, his booming tones... [Read more of this review]

When Harry Met Sally – Date Night!It really doesn’t get much cuter than this! Tribal Theatre are screening the loveable 1989 rom-com When Harry Met Sally from Thursday. What a perfect way to spend your date night with the one you love (or a stranger, if that’s your thing!)? Tickets are $15 for a double pass and corkage (for that oh-so-important bottle of red to keep you... [Read more of this review]
Movie Review: Cop OutPartnering Bruce Willis and Tracey Morgan in this film is interesting to say the least. On the surface, Cop Out can sound rather boring and I have to admit the plot is rather stupid – I don’t even know how to summarise the movie! However, to give the movie credit, it was a pretty good comedy. Jimmy (Bruce Willis) and Paul (Tracey Morgan)... [Read more of this review]
Movie Review: The Green ZoneThe Green Zone I’ve hesitated writing this review because, much like the situation in Iraq, after seeing The Green Zone I am confused and without a resolution. The Green Zone based on the book Imperial Life in the Emerald City by journalist Rajiv Chandrasekaran is Paul Greengrass’s (Bourne Ultimatium series) latest directorial venture. ...

Movie Review: A Single ManThere are two things you should know about me before I share my thoughts on Tom Ford’s directorial and writing debut, A Single Man. The first is I have a peculiar ‘rule’ that where a movie should have originated from a book, I must read the book first. Second, I rarely find the big screen interpretation a satisfying as the book which is... [Read more of this review]
