The Whitlams: Eternal Nightcap with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra … November 2010 The Whitlams: Eternal Nightcap with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra By popular demand, The Whitlams return to Brisbane to reprise their Queensland Symphony Orchestra collaboration, playing in the Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC)’s Concert Hall on Friday 21 January 2011. This time, to mark thirteen years since the release of their classic breakthrough album Eternal Nightcap, The Whitlams and the Queensland Symphony Orchestra will perform all the songs from Eternal Nightcap and their greatest hits, promising to delight audiences of all ages. A corner-stone of the Australian music scene, the Whitlams are certainly no strangers to touring, however, their orchestral gigs are a rare event, not-to-be-missed. The ARIA award-winners are well-known and loved for their “charming cynicism” and last toured with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra in 2007, when they blew both orchestral and mainstream audiences away. The Whitlams formed in the early nineties, playing hundreds of gigs between Sydney and Byron, thanks to their trusty Kingswood Station Wagon, which they believe paved their way to becoming a “real band”. In 1993 they released their first album Introducing The Whitlams. It wasn’t until 2004 that lead singer and pianist Tim Freedman began collaborating with classical musicians, leading to concerts with most of Australia’s state orchestras and creating an increased depth to The Whitlams experience. Quadruple platinum, ARIA breakthrough album, Eternal Nightcap, celebrates its 13th anniversary with the band and orchestra playing it from start to finish, featuring all of their best-selling hits from No Aphrodisiac to Charlie No. 2 and You Sound Like Louis Burdett. Freedman says “The idea for the show [playing Eternal Nightcap in its entirety] was to serve as an interesting act of nostalgia … the fans enjoy it because, for once, they know what they’re going to get. You normally turn up with a leap of faith and hope they don’t play the one you haven’t heard.” The current line-up has remained unchanged for the last seven years and four albums, and consists of Tim Freedman (piano and vocals), Jak Housden (guitar), Warwick Hornby (bass guitar) and Terepai Richmond (drums).

  • That Ain't Bad (The Main Single Off Tingles), the Band Are Drowned out by the Crowd Singing Along
    THAT AIN’T BAD A ZINE DEDICATED TO SYDNEY INDIE POP FROM THE EARLY 90’S BY ANDY PAINE INTROduction In the late 1980's and early 1990's, a group of bands emerged from Sydney who all played fuzzy distorted guitars juxtaposed with poppy melodies and harmonies. They released some wonderful music, had a brief period of remarkable mainstream success, and then faded from the memory of Australia's 'alternative' music world. I was too young to catch any of this music the first time around – by the time I heard any of these bands the 90’s were well and truly over. It's hard to say how I first heard or heard about the bands in this zine. As a teenage music nerd I devoured the history of music like a mechanical harvester ploughing through a field of vegetables - rarely pausing to stop and think, somethings were discarded, some kept with you. I discovered music in a haphazard way, not helped by living in a country town where there were few others who shared my passion for obscure bands and scenes. The internet was an incredible resource, but it was different back then too. There was no wikipedia, no youtube, no streaming, and slow dial-up speeds. Besides the net, the main ways my teenage self had access to alternative music was triple j and Saturday nights spent staying up watching guest programmers on rage. It was probably a mixture of all these that led to me discovering what I am, for the purposes of this zine, lumping together as "early 90's Sydney indie pop".

    ESTIMATES COMMITTEE PROCEEDINGS – 18 September 2002 CHIEF MINISTER In Committee in Continuation: Mr CHAIRMAN: Ladies and gentlemen, colleagues, it being 9 am, I propose that we continue this Estimates Committee. I reflected overnight, as I suppose most people have, about our progress. I will not go into that again. It is, in a way, a little like a cricket match. We really have to cooperate with one another to try to get through the two innings. A member: Is it a test match or a one day? Mr CHAIRMAN: No, this is a test match. We have a … Ms Martin: We could have penalties. Mr CHAIRMAN: Well, that is right. A member: We need five days then. Mr CHAIRMAN: Maybe. No, this is the Sheffield Shield. I would exhort everybody involved to try to get through our business as speedily as possible. We were aiming to have three ministers today. We are about half way through the Chief Minister and we still have the member for Nhulunbuy to go. By my estimation makes four-and-a-half. So let us go to it. The first business overhanging from last night was in relation to Output 03.10, which was the NT Railway. It has been confirmed to me that that will be dealt with by Minister Henderson. That leads us onto Output 04.10 which is Support to Executive, Ministers and Leader of the Opposition. Once again, the member for Brennan has asked most of the questions here and I put it in his hands. Mr WOOD: Mr Chairman, did you get a ruling on those questions about the railway … Dr Lim: 65 and 81.

(2016), Nothing happens here: Songs about Perth. Thesis Eleven, 135(1), 34-50. Reprinted by permission of SAGE Publications. Available here This Journal Article is posted at Research Online. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/ecuworkspost2013/2163 Nothing Happens Here: Songs About Perth Jon Stratton Adam Trainer Abstract This essay examines Perth as portrayed through the lyrics of popular songs written by people who grew up in the city. These lyrics tend to reproduce the dominant myths about the city, that it is isolated, that it is self-satisfied, that little happens there. Perth became the focus of song lyrics during the late 1970s time of punk with titles such as ‘Arsehole Of The Universe’ and ‘Perth Is A Culture Shock.’ Even the Eurogliders’ 1984 hit, ‘Heaven Must Be There,’ is based on a rejection of life in Perth. However, Perth was also home to Dave Warner whose songs in the 1970s and early 1980s offered vignettes, which is itself a title of one of Warner’s tracks, of the youthful, male suburban experience. The essay goes on to examine songs by the Triffids, Bob Evans, Sleepy Township and the Panda Band. Keywords: Perth; songs; music; place; isolation; lyrics Myths of the City Every city has its myths.

  • Using Historical GIS to Describe Changes in the Sydney and Melbourne Live Music Scenes
    GSR_3 Geospatial Science Research 3. School of Mathematical and Geospatial Science, RMIT University December 2014 “A band on every corner”: Using historical GIS to describe changes in the Sydney and Melbourne live music scenes Sarah Taylor1, Colin Arrowsmith1 and Nicole Cook2 1School of Mathematical and Geospatial Science, RMIT University, Australia 2Department of Resource Management and Geography, The University of Melbourne, Australia Email: [email protected] Key words: Historical GIS; historical geodatabase; live music; Melbourne; Sydney Abstract This paper demonstrates the use of historical Geographic Information Systems (historical GIS) to investigate live music in Sydney and Melbourne. It describes the creation of a tailored historical geodatabase built from samples of gig listings (comprising dates, locations, and performer names), and how this historical geodatabase offers insight into the changing dynamics of performers and venue locations. The major findings from the analyses using the developed historical geodatabase are that neither city showed a decline in live music performance or performer numbers, but Melbourne increased at a greater rate than Sydney. Further, the spatial concentration within Melbourne has been far greater than that for Sydney. While Melbourne has expanded numerically but shrunk spatially, Sydney has experienced a geographic dispersion of performances throughout the study period. Introduction This paper demonstrates the use of historical Geographic Information Systems (historical GIS) to investigate live music in Sydney and Melbourne. It describes the creation of a tailored historical geodatabase built from samples of gig (concert) listings comprising dates, locations, and performer names. It then presents descriptive statistics and thematic maps derived from this historical geodatabase, demonstrating how this offers insight into the changing dynamics of live music performers and venue locations.
