“What a life” were the words Chrissy Amphlett concluded a Facebook post with, revealing her battle with MS. The news came on the eve of a 2007 tour. Driven by the power of music and an unreal strength, she would perform every show with a fiery disposition. She would collapse once the applause had settled, but she owned the stage – such was her way. A breast cancer diagnosis would come three years later.

Showing what ‘DIY’ is all about, Claude Hay is a fiercely independent artist whose blend of stomping traditional blues, hard rock and booty-shaking funk has won him no shortage of fans the world-over. He’s a man who builds his own gear: you have ‘Betty’, his double-necked guitar made from a kitchen benchtop and ‘Stella’, a ‘Cigar Box’ guitar that started life as a six-dollar baking tin.

Let the good times roll with The Paper Kites, who are off and running on their first tour of the year. Their lateness to the touring game in 2015 is due to the fact they have been busy with album number two, twelvefour.

With their sophomore album Gracetown travelling along nicely, San Cisco are off and running on a regional adventure. The album, named after a small town in WA, saw the band once again team with Steve Schram. I guess this means that bass player Nick Gardner is feeling a little better these days.

Aside from having a killer line up featuring the likes of JOY, Flight Facilities (recently nominated for an ARIA award), The Jungle Giants, Last Dinosaurs, Remi and a whole lot more the location is just as stunning.

In an interview with IBNLive.com George R. R. Martin let it slip there will be a Game of Thrones movie, as for whether it will be a prequel, a side-story or something else is yet to be determined. Let’s hope it doesn’t take as long as that next book… “There will be a movie but I will not be involved. I have too much to do. That is something HBO and D.B. and David are dealing with. I have two more books to finish and I still have so much to do. The pressure is on. I am such a slow writer and the fans get upset that I don’t write faster.”

Flume recently took to BBC Radio 1 to smash out his two hour essential mix as he took over the decks. The mix can still be found on www.bbc.co.uk and with rave reviews it’s worth getting those sweet sounds into your brain.

What happens when the two guitarists/vocalists from seminal Melbourne stoner doom band Downriver (who also both spent the ’90s playing grind and hardcore together in the Melbourne gig-machine W.A.R.) listen to a heap of duelling-guitar-NWOBHM, old school ’80s metal and dabble with the icy grasp of blasting old school black metal over a few beers and backyard bonfires?

Laughing is good right? Wrong, laughing is the best thing you could ever do. The much loved UK comedian, Danny Bhoy, returns to Australia is 2016 with his brand new show Please Untick This Box, and better yet, Geelong is worth the visit.
