Lachlan Bryce

ANZAC day may have been and gone, but remembering and honouring them is something we should certainly do more of. And that’s exactly what Lachlan Bryce has done in his album Rising Sons and performance with the Youth Victorian Symphony Orchestra on May 31. Honouring those further, proceeds go towards the White Cloud Foundation.

A Holy Release

Well the release is not really all that holy, though it is from the boys from Holy Holy, which we think makes it pretty darn great.

Kitty Flanagan

Chuck her in a suit and tie or a glitzy dress and she’s just as funny as she is in her standard get-up. Kitty Flanagan’s comedy has an ability to transcend whatever genre or setting she’s put in, maybe it’s because no matter what situation you’re in there’s always something to complain about but more likely it’s evidence of her talent as a comedian. We had a chat to Kitty about her new venture The Weekly, heading to Bendigo and general comedy funny stuff.

The Simpsons Trivia

In honour of the interview we did with heavy metal band Dr. Colossus who sing The Simpsons themed songs, we took a trip down memory lane and pieced together a quick Simpsons quiz for you all. How much do you know about the famous American TV show?

Dr. Colossus

A band with Simpsons themed doom rock, need we say more? Originally from Portland the band will be heading to Arockalypse in Warrnambool to bring their unique sound, and a helluva lot of Simpsons references. We had a chat with Dr. Jon about how they came to singing about the popular American TV series.

Holy Holy's Top 5 Movie Soundtracks

Movies are pretty cool. And movies with killer soundtracks are even better. So we thought who better to judge a movie soundtrack than the talented Oscar Dawson from Holy Holy?

John McNamara

John McNamara is known for his incredible vocals, he even won an award for them, but he should also be known for his ability to play on unusual, and often moving, stages. We had the chat to John ahead of one such gig on The Blues Train.

Fast Five with: Marina Prior

“Nancy Hayes – she’s been a musical theatre legend since the 1950s. She was a great mentor to me – she played my mother in the musical Showboat. The Hayes Theatre in Potts Point, which is a small, intimate venue, is named after her. She’s been working for nearly 50 years – she’ll go from plays, to directing, to doing a musical, to doing television.”
