Molly Ringwald acts, writes books, and sings jazz. And yes, it is THAT Molly Ringwald, just live and singing rather than on the big screen as many remember her.

Abbey Road Studios is a name that needs no introductions. It’s a name that throughout its 80 plus years in the industry has solidified its reputation, so when an offshoot institute opened in Melbourne last year, the music scene was abuzz with excitement.

A Sunday night is hardly the time to throw back a few, but when it’s in honour of the new space Blackman’s Brewery are creating in town, how can you say no?

There are a few pros to being a music writer. One of them is getting along to see new artists at unique venues. To be quite frank, I had never been inside Suttons House Of Music until a fortnight ago when I headed there to see Mia Wray support Tim Rogers on a Thursday night.

Despite outcry from the bearded and non-bearded communities alike, the follically fortunate foursome from Adelaide, The Beards, are finished, finito and currently on a final tour to wish farewell to their furry friends from Fitzroy to Freo and everywhere in between. I caught up with bass player and vocalist Nathaniel Beard one last time for all the hairy details.

If there is one thing I’ve picked up on throughout my years of being an eligible party-goer, it is that a lot of people have no clue when it comes to how to throw a party – myself included. So to make sure you learn from my mistakes I’ve lined up the most important dos and don’ts of party planning.

If This Is All We’re Going To Be is a name that suggests settling, that things don’t get much better than this, and while the latter is true for this record, it’s in the best possible way. Luca Brasi has created an album that invites sing-a-longs and emotional epiphanies. It’s the kind of angst-teen listen of our generation that 17 year olds will play to the highest setting to their parents’ distaste.

We’ve all been to a party where you’ve found yourself struggling to talk to anyone else, it can be awkward. How personal is too personal? Good conversation starters are few and far between and it can be painful to try and come up with new ones. So we’ve saved you the time, effort and embarrassment by compiling a list of five party conversation starters.

Only as recently as the past 10 to 15 years has American black metal truly evolved into a sound that can compete with the traditional European and Australian black metal sounds. One band who have launched into the global black metal stratosphere are Deafheaven. I caught up with vocalist George Clarke ahead of their Australian tour.

Created by Alice Keath and Sime Nugent, Sweet Jean, is a project that creates ambient, well-written songs to listen to no matter what your musical presence. It’s the kind of music that really needs to be appreciated for what it is, and that’s great musicality that strips things back to its core.

Geelong only has one exclusive adult entertainment venue and no one can argue that AC’s striptease is an institution for the CBD. Recently re branded, this gentlemen’s club is no longer just for gentlemen, but welcoming ladies and couples to experience a night of fun and debauchery in a relaxed environment.

Pensive, industrial, rough and heartfelt are all words that can be used to describe Norey Cash’s Bad Apple. Featuring collaboraters Jelly Roll, Flash Dangerfield, Sleeper and Opaque Terra, the EP is 15 tracks of pain, anger, fear and regret. That’s not a bad thing either. Bad Apple is honest and unabridged, an insight into the mind of Norey Cash.
