Everything You Touch Turns to Tim E MEDIA RELEASE: EVERYTHING YOU TOUCH TURNS TO TIME For Immediate Use, 8 March 2012 Photographer shows The Triffids in new light Everything You Touch Turns To Time, an exhibition by documentary and arts photographer Gary Cockburn, features iconic Perth band The Triffids, in rehearsal and on stage for a number of their recent concerts held in celebration of David McComb’s wonderfully evocative songwriting. The show can be seen at Mojo’s Bar in North Fremantle from Sunday 25 March to Thursday 5 April. The UK-born photographer spent several days with the band as they prepared for shows at Melbourne’s Hamer Hall in January 2009 and at the Queenscliff Music Festival in November 2011. Cockburn says that the opportunity to document the Triffids’ reunions was one that he felt compelled to take. “The Triffids’ music has been central to my understanding of what it is Turns To Time To Turns to be Australian for far longer than I’ve been Australian. It wasn’t just that McComb wrote such great songs; they seemed to be able to summon up, at will, an image of the continent that you could see, smell, taste and feel. s “As a photographer I delight in showing things that might otherwise go unseen, in capturing the moment. I hope that these photos can be seen not only as a celebration of the band and its work, but as some level of insight into the band and the guests they invited along.” The guest musicians at the shows that Cockburn photographed included Steve Kilbey, Mick Harvey, Simon Breed, The Blackeyed Susans, Mark Snarski, Youth Group, Oh Mercy, Melanie Oxley, Mark C Halstead, Bruce Haymes and Ricky Maymi. Adrian Hoffman, who himself played with The Triffids during the Perth Festival in February 2009, will perform with Chloe McGrath at the opening of the exhibition. Hoffman and McGrath, both of acclaimed Perth band The Morning Night, will present a number of Triffids songs along with some of their own material. Everything You Touch Turns To Time is part of the FotoFreo Fringe (more formally known as the City of Fremantle Festival of Photography Open Exhibition Programme). Cockburn’s other exhibition at FotoFreo also explores capturing the moment, albeit in a completely different way. Roads By Night, Lanes By Light juxtaposes shots of night-time traffic on main roads in urban Australia with the seeming serenity of country by-ways in England’s Lake District. Please see the separate press release or refer to Cockburn’s website for further information. Everything You Touch You Everything MEDIA RELEASE: EVERYTHING YOU TOUCH TURNS TO TIME Notes for Editors High resolution digital versions of the prints featured in the exhibition are available for publicity use. If you haven’t received examples via email, please refer to Cockburn’s website (www.garycockburnphotography.com/everything.html) to see some of the images. It is also expected that a video version of the exhibition will be available. Everything You Touch Turns To Time will be open daily at Mojo’s Bar, 237 Queen Victoria Street, North Fremantle, WA 6159, from Sunday 25 March until Thursday 5 April. Adrian Hoffman and Chloe McGrath will perform at the exhibition’s opening, which will be held at 12noon on Sunday 25 March. Entry is free; all are welcome. Cockburn can be contacted via his website (www.garycockburnphotography.com) or on Turns To Time To Turns 0466 628 997. Trivia s Cockburn designed and oversaw the production of the heritage plaque erected in honour of the recording of The Triffids’ classic album Born Sandy Devotional, which can be seen at 27 Britton Street, Clerkenwell, London. He also mastered the three live discs included in The Triffids’ ten-CD box set, Come Ride With Me… The exhibition takes its name from a Triffids song, first released on the b-side of the ten-inch single, Trick Of The Light. In a previous incarnation Mojo’s Bar was known as The Stoned Crow, and as such was the venue at which The Triffids played four of their first five paying gigs. Everything You Touch You Everything.

  • David Mccomb Was a Conscious Craftsman and a Scintillating Thinker About His Craft
    214 S PATIAL R ELATIONS a only you can hear. With “Good Evening Dear Miss Alach,” the book finishes in a very different register from the rest. It is self-referencing regarding the foulness (I use the antiquated term) of the music industry, snobbishness, false values. A goodbye with irony writ large. Its modest proposal eats us all. It is an epilogue. In this journey through his poetry, I hope to have shown that David McComb was a conscious craftsman and a scintillating thinker about his craft. It was no mere utilitarian device of expression and opinion for him, but some- thing of his body, of the place he came from and where he went. Poetry was necessity. It was a survival kit that kept him searching for reason, for purpose, for a logic in a traumatized but also compelling world. Beauty never faded, even if it struggled for expression. Love was about separation and loss as well as about having and possession. Irony was the safety-net that always gave way when the poet went out on the tightrope. Furthermore, McComb was an ecologist of body and land, and wrote against invasiveness in all its forms. Sometimes he had to deal with that invasiveness and come up with whatever ‘escapes’ he could manage. He was a poet of total liminality. David McComb: Beautiful Waste107 INCE THE BROADER RECOGNITION of Born Sandy Devotional (re- corded 1985, released 1986) as one of the great Australian music S albums, there has been a pleasing ‘growth’ in publications relating to definitively West Australian band The Triffids (named, of course, after the John Wyndham novel) and their singer–songwriter Dave McComb.

HAILED AS THE GREATEST SCIENCE-FICTION MASTERPIECE OF OUR TIME The Day of The Triffids by John Wyndham THE END BEGINS When a day that you happen to know is Wednesday starts off by sounding like Sunday, there is something seriously wrong somewhere. I felt that from the moment I woke. And yet, when I started functioning a little more smartly, I became doubtful. After all, the odds were that it was I who was wrong, and not everyone else-though I did not see how that could be. I went on waiting, tinged with doubt. But presently I had my first bit of objective evidence-a distant clock stuck what sounded to me just like eight. I listened hard and suspiciously. Soon another clock began, on a hard, decisive note. In a leisurely fashion it gave an indisputable eight. Then I knew things were awry. The way I came to miss the end of the world-well, the end of the world I had known for close on thirty years-was sheer accident: like a lot of survival, when you come to think of it. In the nature of things a good many somebodies are always in hospital, and the law of averages had picked on me to be one of them a week or so before. It might just as easily have been the week before that-in which case I'd not be writing now: I'd not be here at all.

(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.

  • American Heritage Center
    UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING AMERICAN HERITAGE CENTER GUIDE TO ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY RESOURCES Child actress Mary Jane Irving with Bessie Barriscale and Ben Alexander in the 1918 silent film Heart of Rachel. Mary Jane Irving papers, American Heritage Center. Compiled by D. Claudia Thompson and Shaun A. Hayes 2009 PREFACE When the University of Wyoming began collecting the papers of national entertainment figures in the 1970s, it was one of only a handful of repositories actively engaged in the field. Business and industry, science, family history, even print literature were all recognized as legitimate fields of study while prejudice remained against mere entertainment as a source of scholarship. There are two arguments to be made against this narrow vision. In the first place, entertainment is very much an industry. It employs thousands. It requires vast capital expenditure, and it lives or dies on profit. In the second place, popular culture is more universal than any other field. Each individual’s experience is unique, but one common thread running throughout humanity is the desire to be taken out of ourselves, to share with our neighbors some story of humor or adventure. This is the basis for entertainment. The Entertainment Industry collections at the American Heritage Center focus on the twentieth century. During the twentieth century, entertainment in the United States changed radically due to advances in communications technology. The development of radio made it possible for the first time for people on both coasts to listen to a performance simultaneously. The delivery of entertainment thus became immensely cheaper and, at the same time, the fame of individual performers grew.

  • Noise in My Head Voices from the Ugly Australian Underground by Jimi Kritzler
    NEW RELEASE NEW RELEASE NEW RELEASE NEW RELEASE NOISE IN MY HEAD VOICES FROM THE UGLY AUSTRALIAN UNDERGROUND BY JIMI KRITZLER The Ugly Australian Underground documents the music, songwriting, aesthetics and struggles of fifty of Australia’s most innovative and significant bands and artists currently at the creative peak of their careers. NOISE IN VOICES FROM THE UGLY The book provides a rare insight into the critically heralded cult music scene in Australia. The author, Jimi Kritzler, is both a journalist and a musician, and is personally connected to the musicians he interviews through his involvement in this music subculture. The interviews are extremely personal and reveal much more than any interview granted to street press or blogs. They deal with not only the music and songwriting processes of each band, but in some circumstances their struggles with drugs, involvement in crime and the death of band members. The book is complimented by previously unpublished photographs of all bands interviewed. AUSTRALIAN UNDERGROUND The Australian underground scene in the last five years has been heralded not only in Australia but also in Europe, and MY JIMI KRITZLER HEAD particularly in America. Known as the ‘Australian Invasion’, many of the bands interviewed in this book have received a great deal of hype and press in America, with many of the The bands in this book have dedicated fan bases in both bands signing to American record labels.

I think Kochie may have even mentioned it once or twice. The ads, though, contained the notable elements: the outrageous wiggery ESPECIALLY the mullets; all that petulance and flouncing; and the much-discussed, uncanny physical similarity of the actors to the main protagonists. But it turned out that the ads were pretty much it. This was a series of events with very little to bind them into a story. It felt like a (not very good) comic strip – crudely drawn, brightly coloured, neatly framed. Fans will probably love it. I’m not one, though I was a bit of a one, once upon a time. The story of INXS rising from the middle-class suburbs is told using a limited, and sometimes confusing, dramatic lexicon. Flashbacks to childhood, for instance, are graded differently.
