The Basement @ The Builders Club. SOL presents The Bearded Gypsy Band + The Penny's Recently at 'WOMADElaide' The Bearded Gypsy Band played an "astonishingly vituoso set for an ecstatic crowd. Their prodigious skills produced a finessed performance that musicians with fifty years experience could well envy." The Bearded Gypsy Band play an eclectic mix of energetic Gypsy Folk, Celtic & Gypsy Jazz music. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Django Reinhardt and other folk music from around the world, their original music takes the listener on explorative journeys with varying energies, styles and rhythms, from singular spiritual moments to full-body engaged collective ‘anthemic’ music. Seeing this band live really brings their infectious music to life as their incredible musicianship is experienced. They have been described by musician David Ross McDonald as “The Too Young for Their Talent Band”. http://www.myspace.com/beardedgypsyband http://beardedgypsyband.net/ For the past few years The Pennys have been performing their uniquely upbeat blend of Indie Folk & Catchy Rock to audiences up and down the Australian East Coast. Born out of an impromptu jam at a local politician's fondue party, they quickly discovered a mutual love for Sing-a-long Choruses, Hawaiian Shirts and Jauntiness, deciding then and there that they would combine all three and form a collective. "The Penny's make music that is charming and heartfelt, always wistful and always a charm" ....David Young "Boasting the sounds of double bass, harmonica, keys, percussion and both acoustic and electric guitar, the musicianship displayed by this band is very strong with a strong stage show to boot." - Wollongong UniBar Band Comp http://www.reverbnation.com/thepennys http://www.myspace.com/thepennys For Info Contact Damion E [email protected] M 0416 204 674 BUSH DANCES EVERY WEDNESDAY FROM 8PM, WONGAWILLI COMMUNITY HALL Musicians and dancers welcome.

  • Australian Notable Gardens? Towards a List for Each State, Territory and Region…
    Australian Notable Gardens? Towards a list for each state, territory and region… The AGHS are keen to find out from you which ten gardens in your region, state or territory – public and private – you think are remarkable or notable in that area. This might be for their heritage significance, their quality, or their intactness or ‘integrity’ (e.g. of an era, or style). It might be for their historic, expression of their geographic location, their style or design or their ‘intact’ character. They may be heritage-listed, in recognition of this – or unsung gems. Below are some ideas of ours as a start, with some reasons why. In two lists: ‘Public’ and ‘Private’. They are listed in chronological order – i.e. oldest garden to youngest. This in no way makes judgements about any being ‘better’ than any others – just ‘remarkable’ in that state or area. By ‘Public’ we mean publicly owned, and open to the public. So parks, botanic gardens and the like. NB: this does not imply ‘free’ entry, necessarily. With increasing budget stringency, some ‘Public’ gardens now charge fees for entry, to help cover maintenance costs. An example are the suite of properties, some with well renowned historic gardens, run by Sydney Living Museums, e.g. Elizabeth Farm, Parramatta, NSW and Vaucluse House garden, Vaucluse, NSW. Universities are ‘private’ entities, and ‘private’ means privately-owned, some of which are opened to the public (usually for a fee). Again, the emphasis is not on whether entry is free or paid – it is on ownership and accessibility. AGHS membership often means that members can access privately- owned gardens that do not, normally, or frequently, open to the general public.

  • The New Christs
    THE NEW CHRISTS “GLORIA” Twenty five years after they first formed and more than five years since the release of their last studio album, The New Christs deliver their brand new album ‘Gloria’. It has been an interesting journey since Radio Birdman front man Rob Younger formed The New Christs in 1984 to support Iggy Pop on his Australian tour of that year. A number of single releases featuring several line ups of friends followed before the band recorded and released their debut album ‘Distemper’ in 1989. Following the European tour in support of the album release, the band split up before briefly reforming in 1990 to support The Ramones on their Australian tour. Once again after that tour the band took a three year hiatus before Rob teamed up with bassist Christian Houllemare (Happy Hate Me Nots) and Bill Gibson (Lemonheads, KEY SELLING POINTS Eastern Dark) to record ‘The Pedestal’ ep and ‘Woe Betide’ mini-album. This was then followed by the 1997 release of * Regular tours in Europe, tour for this album the album ‘Lower Yourself’ which the band once again takes in Spain, Italy, France, Germany, toured Europe on the back of. Sweden, Norway and UK. In 2001, The New Christs recorded their full length album * Features former Radio Birdman front man Rob ‘We Got This’ but due to problems with the label who had Younger, an inductee into the Australian Music initially commissioned the recording, it would be some time Hall of Fame. before it was finally released and by that time due to various reasons the band had once again split.

  • Kultbandet the New Christs (AUS) Till Sverige
    2008-04-30 11:38 CEST Kultbandet The New Christs (AUS) till Sverige The New Christs (AUS) 31 maj - Uddevalla, Mortens Krog 1 juni - Stockholm, Debaser Slussen/ w Snuffed By The Yakuza m.m. 3 juni - Malmö, KB Det australiensiska kultbandet The New Christ kommer till Sverige i sommar. De kommer att förvandla allt till ett brinnande, men vackert, inferno. The New Christ bildades 1984 av Rob Younger från legendariska bandet Radio Birdman, en av t.ex. The Hellacopters stora inspirationskällor. Det är inte vem som helst som ligger bakom att New Christ bildades, det började med att Iggy Pop behövde ett öppningsband på sin Australienturné, och frågade Mr Younger om han kunde sätta ihop något. Med hjälp av medlemmar från bland andra Lime Spiders och Radio Birdman bildade han så The New Christ. Turnén blev succé och bandet äntrade studion för att spela in de två singlarna ”Like A Curse” och ”Born Out Of Time”. Men fullängdaren tog tid på sig, först 1989 kom ”Distemper”, bandets biljett till Europa. På nittiotalet turnerade The New Christ i Australien tillsammans med band som Ramones, och i samma årtionde spelade Bill Gibson från Lemonheads gitarr i bandet. Nu är The New Christs tillbaka. Som om året återigen var 1984, tack då kör vi. BILJETTER Stockholm. Obs! Mindre antal biljetter till försäljning än vanligt. Biljetter säljs på www.luger.se/biljetter. DIREKTLÄNK.

So it stands to reason that UOW has maintained a close connection with the community of the Illawarra and South Coast of New South Wales ever since. This relationship was recognised in 2012 when the inaugural QS Intelligence Unit benchmarking audit of the world’s universities gave UOW 50 out of 50 points for engagement as part of a fi ve-star ranking for UOW across the audit’s six criteria of employability, teaching, infrastructure, internationalism, innovation and engagement. While the University is proudly international in our outlook, we arguably have never been more connected to our home community, through our main campus and the Innovation Campus in Wollongong and our facilities in the Shoalhaven, Batemans Bay, Bega, Moss Vale, Loftus and the Sydney CBD.

  • Like a Sustainable Version: Practising Independence in the Central Sydney Independent Music Scene
    Like a sustainable version: Practising independence in the Central Sydney independent music scene Shams Bin Quader A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Gender and Cultural Studies School of Philosophical and Historical Inquiry Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences University of Sydney 2020 DECLARATION I hereby declare that this submission is my own work and that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, it contains no material previously published or written by another person, not material which to a substantial extent has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma of a university or other institute of higher learning, except where due acknowledgement has been made in the text. Shams Bin Quader 22 April 2020 SHAMS QUADER i ABSTRACT Independent music is a complex concept. It has meant different things at different historical moments of popular music and within academic, music press and industry discourses. Even though what independent music refers to might not be substantive, it has tended to signify an oppositional ethos comprising practices related to maintaining distinction from commercialised popular music. Historical narratives of popular music reveal that independent music or indie, has been defined and re-defined, from signifying an ethos of resistance comprising anti-major record label and anti- corporatisation attitudes, to rubrics of sound aesthetics, marketing categories and niche audience segments. Its different connotations then should not be assumed. Comprehension of different dimensions of independent music call for theorisation of youth, rebellion, alternative cultures, and their connections with musical forms, along with production and distribution-related organisational infrastructures revolving around them.

  • The Legendary Stooges Axeman, 1948-2009: He Didn't Just Play the Guitar
    The legendary Stooges axeman, 1948-2009: he didn't just play the guitar. BY TIM "NAPALM" STEGALL The first thing you noticed, after seeing the perfect picture of teenage delinquency in quartet form on the cover (and how much the band depicted resembles a prehistoric Ramones, if you're of a certain age), was the sound: Corrosive, brittle, brassy, seemingly untamed. It was the sound of an electric guitar being punished more than played. And the noise got particularly nasty once Mr. Guitar Flogger stepped on his wah-wah pedal. Because unlike whenever Jimi Hendrix stepped on a wah, this guitar didn't talk. It snarled and spat and attacked like a cobra. As the six string engine that drove The Stooges, Ron Asheton didn't play guitar. He played the amp. And the fuzztone. And the wah-wah pedal. In the process, he didn't just give singer Iggy Pop a sonic playground in which he could run riot and push the boundaries of then-acceptable rock stagecraft. ("Ron provided the ammo," says Rolling Stone Senior Writer David Fricke. "Iggy pulled the trigger.") Ron Asheton also changed the way rock 'n' roll was played and energized a few generations to pick up guitars themselves, creating several subgenres in the process. Ron Asheton was found dead in the wee hours of January 6, 2009, in the Ann Arbor home he and brother Scott (The Stooges' drummer) and sister Kathy (muse to a few late Sixties Detroit rockers and lyrical inspiration for The Stooges' classic "TV Eye") grew up in after the family relocated from the guitarist's native Washington, DC.

  • “RON WAS the Riffmeister and All That Was Good in This World
    “RON WAS THE Riffmeister and all that was good in this world,” declares Andrew Innes of Primal Scream, just one of countless bands who owe an inestimable debt to Ron Asheton’s (pictured, in glasses) monolithic stun guitar onslaughts on the first two Stooges albums. Asheton, found dead yesterday at his Ann Arbor home from a suspected heart attack, was the most influential punk guitarist of all time, his monosyllabic, piledriver riffs providing blueprints for later applecart- upsetters like the New York Dolls and Sex Pistols. Even former Captain Beefheart and Jeff Buckley guitarist Gary Lucas has paid tribute to “some of the best and most iconic riffs in punk history”. In his own private world Asheton, whose unusual pantheon of heroes included Adolf Hitler and the Three Stooges, was the most dangerous embodiment of the Stooges’ dum dum boys aesthetic, infamous for his extensive collection of Nazi memorabilia and the unsavoury swastika armbands later adopted by UK punk- shockers. Ironically, he was the only Stooge who eschewed hard drugs. Ron was born in Washington DC in 1948, brought to Ann Arbor by his mother after his Marine Corp pilot father Ronald’s death in 1963. Besotted by the Beatles and the Stones, he became obsessed with Pete Townshend after a Who gig during a mid-’60s pilgrimage to London with high school buddy Dave Alexander. He played bass in local bands including the Prime Movers, Chosen Few and Dirty Shames before forming the Psychedelic Stooges with Alexander, Scott and a local kid he’d met called James Osterberg – rechristened Iggy after a stint in a band called The Iguanas.
