My Dream Rider Series – Alex Elbery

Perth-born, Melbourne-based songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Alex Elbery takes an exuberant leap via his brand new single Ripcord. Releasing today with an accompanying whimsical music video, Ripcord is a warm and dynamic ode to falling in love, coated with billowing pop hues, driving alt rock undertones and an endearing Aussie tinge alongside heartfelt lyricism.

We caught up with him to ask him what his Dream Rider would be:

  1. Some Boursin and a crispy baguette – Boursin is a delicious garlic cream cheese. I feel like that’s perfect for vocal warm ups. 
  2. An indoor aviary full of cockatiels and exotic parrots that all want to hang out with me.
  3. A wrestling ring – I don’t think I’d want to wrestle anyone per se, but I do think it would be fun to run around in it, do some flips and tumbles. Might be a good way to get the nervous energy out.
  4. A massage. – I’d probably pull a muscle running around the wrestling ring, so might be good to get that sorted.
  5. Some sort of VR gaming set up.
  6. An older, parental figure to constantly tell me I’m doing a good job.
  7. Some board games – something like wingspan, nice, relaxing and fairly non-competitive. 
  8. A push bike for each band member – I think it’d be fun to do a lap around the block before we play, really get in the zone, y’know?
  9. Winona Ryder – she’s one of the best Ryders and I reckon she’d be a great hang.
  10. I put this to my band to see what they would want, and all they came up with was ‘a small bag of shredded cheese.’ I’m delighted by how easy they are to please so I feel like I really should Include their ‘small bag of shredded cheese.’

Alex Elbery’s new single and video RIPCORD is out now.

News: Real Estate announce Australian tour dates

Real Estate announce Australian tour dates
Heading to Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne this November
Indie icons Real Estate (US) are returning to Australia for the first time since 2017. Fans can catch their
adored alt anthems down under in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne this November.
SIGN UP FOR PRESALE
Bringing their sunny sound to the East Coast, Real Estate have a huge back catalogue to build a set list
from, with tracks from their studio albums Days, Atlas, In Mind, The Main Thing and their debut self-
titled release.
Celebrating 15 years as a band and latest gems “Flowers”, “Water Underground” from their recently
released sixth-studio album Daniel, fans down under will have the chance to hear songs from the new
record in live form. Regarded as “a stalwart presence in the indie world” by NPR, Daniel strikes a
chord with anyone who listens.
Brooklyn Vegan says of the new album, “Nostalgia has always been at the heart of Real Estate’s clean,
jangly sound, recalling both the days of ’80s college radio and ’90s alt-rock for the musical equivalent
of a phone call from a friend you haven’t heard from in ages. Daniel, their sixth album, feels especially so…Some say you can’t go home again but Real Estate make the trip seem effortless.”

 

Real Estate will play the Prince Bandroom in Melbourne on Friday 15 November and Sydney’s
Manning Bar on Saturday 16 November before wrapping up in Brisbane at The Triffid on Sunday 17 November. Admired by fans and industry alike for their warm-hearted shows, 303 Mag describe their live performances as unforgettable and “a unique yet alluring experience that feels timeless.”

 

Originating from the neighbourhoods of New Jersey, Real Estate are one of the most notable indie-
pop acts of the past decade. Forming in 2009, the five-piece broke through with their notable self-
titled debut Real Estate, which received critical acclaim, including an 8.5 rating and Best New Music
tag from Pitchfork.
Winning the hearts of cult indie crowds with 2011’s Days and 2014’s Atlas, the highly-praised releases
landed them notable festival slots at Coachella, Pitchfork Music Festival, Primavera and many more.
Staying true to their nostalgia themes along with their contagiously cosmic sound, the band continued
their string of successful releases with 2017’s In Mind and 2020’s The Main Thing, with their latest LP
Daniel released in February this year.

News: SHIHAD Announce The Final Tour 😭😭😭

SHIHAD
The Final Tour
 Loud Forever 1988 – 2025
With Special Guests Battlesnake & BodyJar (Melb Only)
Tickets on sale 9am Local Time Nov 13 from via shihad.com

Shihad quite simply laid waste to what came before them. As a band, there are few that play tighter hard rock and honour the riff as diligently as Shihad; they’re a precision machine with a beating heart.”
Doubtful Sounds

Forged in the fires of 1988’s thrash metal scene, Wellington’s SHIHAD quickly evolved into one of Australia’s most beloved bands. SHIHAD (Jon Toogood, Karl Kippenberger, Phil Knight, Tom Larkin) has sold over a quarter of a million records, released ten studio albums, received multiple ARIA nominations, won countless Aotearoa Music Awards and toured endlessly through the world’s most loved clubs, festivals, and arenas. Touring with metal icons like Faith No More, Tool, Back Sabbath, Motorhead and one of their biggest early influences, AC/DC. Live is where SHIHAD is truly an oversized presence.

In 2010 SHIHAD were inducted into the Aotearoa’s Music Hall of Fame, firmly establishing themselves as New Zealand’s biggest rock band.

With gaps between albums increasing, growing commitments outside the band, and band members’ inability to give SHIHAD the time, focus and dedication it needed and deserved, they made the hard call to end the band. While opinions within differ, they are united in agreement that half-assing SHIHAD was never an option.

To celebrate thirty-six years of memories and milestones, the band announces Loud Forever – The Final Tour.

We’ve had as much fun as we’ve had moments of disappointment and of anger,” Karl says. “But we’ve also had some real special moments.”

The fundamental chemistry and makeup of what makes SHIHAD special and what makes SHIHAD work requires certain things to be in place,” Tom explains. “When you can’t sustain those things or plan for those things, it takes away from SHIHAD being something that makes sense. It’s about a shared commitment and a shared energy.”

Phil muses. “You know, personal relationships and professional work don’t always survive forever. But we’ve lived it all. We really have. We’ve lived the life that so many musicians would give their right arm for.”

We need to pay homage to the legacy of this band, because it’s meant so much to us and also to the people that have supported us,” Jon says, before adding, “We’re gonna fucking hit it!”

SHIHAD’s songbook is teeming with iconic tunes like Run, The General Electric, La La Land, Pacifier, My Mind’s Sedate, Deb’s Night Out, Gimme Gimme, Wait and Seeand the brutal I Only Said (1993), their highest charting single which pounded its way to No.3. And, you can’t forget Home Again, their instant classic that became an anthem not just for SHIHAD, but for all Kiwis abroad.

The upcoming LOUD FOREVER tour offers both the band and its nation of fans the opportunity of a fittingly loud and raucous farewell.

News: HAMMERFALL Announce First Ever Australian Tour

 

THE MIGHT! THE POWER! THE GLORY!

 

 HAMMERFALL

 ANNOUNCE FIRST EVER AUSTRALIAN TOUR

‘’It’s a spectacular show and encapsulates just how and why HammerFall have become such a beloved band across the world.’’Headbanging Life

The GODS have listened, and they have heeded your call, Sweden’s Power Metal overlords, the mighty HammerFall will set sail for Australia in January 2025 for their first ever Australian tour.

‘’We all agreed that one measly show in 27 years is not nearly enough. So we’re coming in full force next year. Brace yourselves for a Heavy Metal celebration the likes of which you have never seen!’’ – Oscar Dronjak

‘’We are very excited to bring our particular brand of Heavy Metal to Australia for the first time, and we can’t wait to show you what HammerFall Anno 2025 sounds like!’’ – Joacim Cans

No matter how much everything changes in culture and the world at large, heavy metal endures. It empowers. It engages. It engenders strength. It outlasts fads. Since forming in Gothenburg, Sweden and releasing their debut album Glory To The Brave in 1997, HammerFallhave stormed the gates of heavy music’s pantheon and waved the genre’s flag higher and higher with every subsequent release. With multiple international number ones, gold certifications, sold out tours, and over 100 million+ streams and 100 million+ YouTube views, the group upholds a venerable legacy.

But it is in a live setting where they outshine their peers and imitators. In trueHammerFall fashion, every element becomes dangerously and dramatically amplified. The riffs hit harder. The rhythms thunder louder. The choruses soar closer to the clouds.

Watch ‘Hearts On Fire’: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htKY2oD85rs

 

The Hammer will strike with force in Australia as HammerFall unleash a setlist full of power drenched anthems such as ‘Heart’s on Fire’, ‘Last Man Standing’, ‘Brotherhood’, ‘Heeding the Call’, ‘Any Means Necessary’‘Hail to the King’ and so many more.

Donning their brightest shining armour,HammerFall will leave their mark on Australia forever by delivering an unforgettable live experience for metalheads across the continent.

News: HANGMAN’S CHAIR Announce New Album SADDICTION + Release Brand New Single ‘Kowloon Lights’

HANGMAN’S CHAIR Announce New Album SADDICTION + Release Brand New Single ‘Kowloon Lights’

Credit: Andy Julia

Ahead of their next studio album,Saddiction, due on 14th February 2025via Nuclear Blast, French doom metal pioneers HANGMAN´S CHAIR are back in full force with ‘Kowloon Nights‘. This powerful, shoegaze-influenced track, with its disconcerting guitar riff, is a direct reference to the city destroyed in the 90s.

HANGMAN’S CHAIR comments about Saddiction: “SADDICTION is the contraction of 2 words, sadness and addiction. It means the addiction to sadness. 7th effort of the band, for us, Saddiction is the second album of the new trilogy started with A Loner back in 2022 and it’s the logical continuity. Keeping up with the cold, massively reverbed and chorused atmosphere but now mixed with what Hangman’s Chair has been known for, the heaviness and the low tuned sound, thanks to the magical sound engineer Francis Caste, once again. Valnoir of Metastazis designed the cover and resumed what the identity of Hangman’s Chair is all about in its purest form, concrete, pavement, bleakness and ultra modern solitude of the Parisian « banlieue ». Now, please don’t blame us for your saddiction. It has always been here. In your hearts, February 14th 2025.” 

HANGMAN’S CHAIR continues about ‘Kowloon Nights‘: “Walking hand in hand into Kowloon lights in a no moon night, at a loss. Where the neons replaces the sunlight. Like in a Gaspard Noe’s film, Into The Void, we discover every lost souls hiding behind their windows apartment. Each of them with their own vices, regrets and dreams. Your home has become the barrel of a gun and finally the bones of your body become the only neons that enlighten the lost souls of the city. Dehn Sora remarkably designed this 3D video for our new single, a glimpse of the new album Saddiction.”

HANGMAN’S CHAIR, formed in 2005 in Paris, are one of the most unique sounding Doom Rock bands currently active. Through the years, they have found and fine-tuned their own sonic brand, somewhere at the crossroads between TYPE O NEGATIVE, LIFE OF AGONY and SISTERS OF MERCY, to name a few, mixed with a certain street credibility connected to the group’s roots in hardcore. Each album takes its strength and essence from the band members life experiences, which they portrait with unflinching honesty. Whether it is the loss of band members, drug overdoses or the hardships of living in suburban Paris, all those human emotions resonate within each of their songs as they embrace the darkness and transform it into something beautiful, heavy and melancholic.

HANGMAN’S CHAIR is:
Julien Chanut – Guitar
Cédric Toufouti – Guitar, Vocals

News: LENNY PEARCE ANNOUNCES FAMILY-FRIENDLY REEF RAVE TOUR WITH SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS THIS SUMMER CELEBRATING 25 YEARS OF SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS

Unless you’ve been living in a pineapple under the sea, multi-Platinum and ARIA-nominated DJ and producer Lenny Pearce will need zero introduction. One of the fastest-rising stars in the electronic music scene, Pearce has cemented a global reputation as the trailblazing architect of Toddler Techno and Baby Raves, also working internationally with a star-studded who’s who of beloved kids’ characters and companies. And who better to celebrate the 25th anniversary of everybody’s favourite undersea sensation SpongeBob SquarePants, with Pearce today announcing the Reef Rave tour, jumping on the road this summer to officially commemorate SpongeBob’s quarter of a century milestone.

 

Kicking off in SA at Adelaide’s Hindley St Music Hall on 21 December, the Reef Rave will then paddle through NSW, WA and VIC, before finishing up in QLD at Toowoomba’s Regent Theatre on 9 March.

 

Tickets for the Reef Rave tour go onsale to the general public on Friday 15 November at 9am local time from teamwrktouring.com/tours/lenny-pearce-reef-rave, and fans can register for presale tickets now, with the 24 hour presale kicking off on Thursday 14 November at 9am local time.

 

$1 from every ticket will be donated to the Children’s Hospital Foundation. This is a foundation that funds cutting-edge equipment, vital research and on-the-ground support for kids with all illnesses, injuries and conditions, throughout Queensland and northern New South Wales.

 

The underwater inspired, fun-filled family day out will include an array of roving performers, face painting, singing, dancing, and of course, Pearce’s famous Toddler Techno Show, with special appearances by Pearce’s favourite friend Kuma The Monkey live, as well as some special surprise guests in store, all in honour of Bikini Bottom’s favourite fry cook, SpongeBob SquarePants. “My Reef Rave is the ultimate day out for the modern family, from newborns through to grandparents – I’ve seen them all from the last tour,” shares Pearce. “It’s an interactive show for the kids, and fun music for both kids AND parents. Families always dress up at my shows, so I’m excited to see how the outfits look at an underwater themed event.”

 

Honouring a quarter of a century since Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants first leapt onto screens back in 1999, the Reef Rave tour ultimately evolved from Pearce’s viral reworking of another children’s fave; and in news set to delight both the young and the young at heart, chances are high that attendees may very well be able to meet the sponge of the hour when Pearce takes to the stage across the summer. “Earlier this year I remixed a few theme songs like the Paw Patrol theme song. It went viral on social media, which opened the doors to working much more closely with Nickelodeon,” shares Pearce. “SpongeBob is turning 25 this year, so we thought it would be good to celebrate his birthday together! We’re planning on having him attend some shows, take photos with the little ones, maybe even sing happy birthday at each show. SpongeBob played a huge role in everyone’s childhood so we’re going to involve him as much as we can in each city. It’s really exciting!”

 

The renowned pioneer of Toddler Techno, Lenny Pearce is at heart a dad and a DJ, with the talented artist specialising in remixing songs that toddlers know, and that parents can vibe to. A multi-generational sensation, Lenny Pearce is also beloved for his creative talents witnessed as a member of Justice Crew, the Australian dance-pop collective that stormed their way to taking out the crown of Australia’s Got Talent in 2010. Also the brother of fellow Justice Crew member and current Purple Wiggle John Pearce, Lenny Pearce is a born creative, with his recent rise to stardom coming in the wake of 12 months of high octane activations, including a #1 ARIA accredited techno album with The Wiggles, viral renditions of Wheels On The Bus and Macerena, and his infectious YouTube videos that are entertaining children and parents alike, all over the world.

 

Back in 1999, the landscape of animated TV was changed forever with the advent of a yellow sponge stealing hearts and primetime instantly. SpongeBob SquarePants has gone on to delight generations of viewers, with the show’s whimsical setting, humour and heart amassing a legacy that also extends to video games, merchandise and theme park attractions. Now celebrating 25 years since the world was introduced to SpongeBob himself, his loveable neighbour Patrick, the money-loving Mr. Crabs, the maniacal schemes of Plankton, and the colourful setting of Bikini Bottom as a whole, it’s little wonder why SpongeBob’s joy and laughter has led to it becoming one of the most loved cartoons in history.

 

Cool off this summer and submerge the family in Lenny Pearce‘s Reef Rave tour, an engaging and inclusive fun filled activity for the entire family.

 

Tickets for Lenny Pearce’s Reef Rave tour are available Friday 15 November from teamwrktouring.com/tours/lenny-pearce-reef-rave.

Live Review: Heilung

Heilung

Palais Theatre

Eivør’s music has been streamed close to 1 billion times with soundtracks and features on all seasons of the flagship Netflix hit series, The Last Kingdom. A moody performance that is such a well suited to open for Heilung. Hailing from the tiny village of Syðrugøta on the Faroe Islands and with ten studio albums under her belt, as well as numerous collaborations with artists including Àsgeir, John Grant, Einar Selvik (Wardruna) and Dan Heath (Lana Del Ray), Eivør is considered to be one of the most eclectic artists of the Nordics and a mesmerizing live vocalist.

Heilung is amplified history from early medieval northern Europe. Each live appearance of Heilung is a spectacular affair, where the lines blur between musical performance, ancient pagan rituals, past, and present. To witness a performance of the band is more of an spiritual experience that connects you as the audience to ancient wisdom, ritual and the Earth.

To describe a Heilung show is almost impossible, it has to be experience and felt, to reach out and feel the visceral experience that is connected to ancient rituals. The show can’t be categorized, defined or even explained – it must be witnessed, it is captivating.

Using poems, which either deal with historical events or are translations and interpretations of the original texts the band perform using throat singing, intertwined with melodies to harmonize and create a unique sound.  The show will take you to another place in your psyche that taps into something primal, connecting viewers to ancient times.

Behind the Lens Amanda Lee Starkey
