Prepare to have your face melted. Morbid Angel are heading to Australia. Easily one of the most prominent outfits in death metal, Morbid Angel promise a night of maximum intensity when they hit Sydney this month. They will be performing their iconic Covenant album in its entirety followed by classic cuts from such genre-defining albums as Altars of Madness and Blessed Are the Sick.Throughout history only a handful of artists have been able to achieve a truly iconic stature within any given art form. Morbid Angel is among those select few. Shattering the boundaries of creativity and imagination while evolving with each release, they stand alone as the true icon in extreme music.
what's on If the sweaty machismo and spandex
swagger of eighties hair metal (think LA Guns, Warrant, Poison et at) makes your teased mullet stand on end, then you’re going to want to give Steel Panther’s latest album All you Can Eat a spin. Sharpish.
This album, if you don’t take it too seriously – and with song titles like The Burden of Being Wonderful, and You’re Beautiful When You Don’t Talk, this fact is pretty much a free kick.
Sure, it’s low brow and slightly misogy-nist, but for every ill-placed joke there is a killer riff.
Honestly there are few that can re-create the sheer ridiculousness of 80s hair metal better than Steel Panther. If you don't take All You Can Eat too seriously, it is a seriously fun album with some surpris-ingly adroit musicality.
Put it on for a chuckle.
If you grew up in the 1980s, chances are the films of John Hughes formed a large part of your adolescence and this is one of the best. Teenager Andie (Molly Ringwald) is one of the not-so-popular girls in high school. She usually hangs out with her friends Iona or Duckie (Jon Cryer). Duckie has always had a crush on her, but now she has met a new guy at school, Blane (Andrew McCarthy). He's one of the rich and popular guys but can the two worlds meet?
The pairing of Pulitzer Prize-winning author Cormac McCarthy (No Country for Old Men, The Road) and director Ridley Scott (Avatar, Alien) should have been something akin to cinematic gold. But while there is plenty to like about McCarthy’s first screenplay – it does fall short of brilliance.
A rich and successful lawyer, the Counsellor (Michael Fassbender), is about to get married to his fiancée but soon becomes entangled in a complex drug plot with a middle-man known as Westray (Brad Pitt).
The plan ends up taking a horrible twist and he must protect himself and his soon-to-be bride as the truth of the drug business is uncovered and targets are eliminated.

MUSIC
Since first performing the time-less Australian classic Old Man Emu on New Faces in 1970, country music legend John Wil-liamson has been at the top of
his game. With a career spanning more than 40 years, Williamson has been an integral cultural mouthpiece - helping Aussies make sense of and appreciate the spirit of the na-tion with a slew of unofficial anthems and in-tricately woven yet unpretentious and never mawkish tales that paint vivid pictures of life on the Australian land.
After releasing his brilliant A Hell of a Career two-disc compilation album, Wil-liamson is hitting the Hunter for a string of dates and he told TE his connection with the region is a lasting one.
Stephen BiSSet
“I’ve always had a strong connection with the Hunter – I had a television show called Travellin’ Out West that was on NBN in the early seventies,” he explained.
“It’s going to be good to get back there – it’s been a little while, but I will say that I’m having more fun onstage than ever.”
Wiiliamson said, while he never imag-
ined he would still be plying his trade more than 40 years after the release of Old Man Emu, he had always had dreams of fame though, in the beginning, they may’ve been a tad misguided.
“I always had dreams of being famous – I think most people who pick up a musical instrument do.
“But, after I released my first album, I thought I’d be driving back to the farm in an Aston Martin. I really had no idea about what it was all about,” he laughed.
There’s little denying that, along with the likes of Paul Kelly and Don Walker, Williamson, with tracks like Raining on the Rock, Cootamundra Wattle and the ubiquitous True Blue is one of the most evocative songwriters this country has ever produced.
“I guess it’s just about writing songs that affect people,” he said.
“It’s the ones that make me cry that usu-ally have an effect on the audience – songs like Cydi, about a father’s relationship with his daughter. I guess I’m just a senti-mental bloke.”
While Williamson is placed well-and-truly in the country sphere, it may be a little disingenuous to label him merely a country artist when you consider the breadth of musical territory (country, folk, rock and even a dash of calypso) his career has covered.
“Obviously I heard Slim Dusty and Chad Morgan growing up, but I was really influ-enced by the folk scene in Melbourne in the 1960s and by artists like Pete Seeger and Joan Baez.
“I guess it’s a shame we all have to be pi-geonholed. What I’d love to see is an Aus-tralian music festival, where everyone, re-gardless of the kind of music you play can come along and celebrate our Australian-ness.”
Catch John Williamson at Toronto Workers Club on Thursday, April 10, Wests Lambton on Friday, April 11, Sol-diers Point Bowling Club on Saturday, April 12 and Hexham Bowling Club on Sunday, April 13.

Local muso, Pistol Pete, or Peter Pihlak to the taxman, has shared stages with the likes of The McCormack Broth-ers, Tommy Emmanuel and Trisha Yearwood. Since 1999, this gun guitar slinger has plyed his trade around the traps, most recently giving his talents to the trio ‘After Hours’. With more than 1000 gigs under his belt, it’s pretty much a free kick that Pistol Pete knows his way around a stage.Pete plays an all killer, no filler set that includes crowd pleasers from the 50s to today.Think the likes of Bill Haley, Paul Kelly, AC/DC, Johnny Cash and Michael Buble and you get an idea of the vast musical territory this guy covers.

H ot on the heels of their ridiculously danceable slice of rock and roll – the sophomore EP We Are Groovy
Boys, Melbourne funsters The Stiffys are gearing up to hit town this weekend and as drummer Adam Stagg told TE, Newcastle punters should get ready to have the time of their lives.
“The shows have been going really well – there has been lots of BYO boogie boards – actually the three things that we’ve been seeing at shows are boogie boards, the ladies and lots and lots of positivity. A Stiffys show is literally and I mean liter-ally the best time you could ever hope to have,” he said.
Stagg said that the band were also
over the moon with the new EP – which represents quite a development in lyrical maturity for the duo.
“Yeah we’re really pumped about the EP – it’s the first time we’ve done anything professionally in a studio – there’s horns and all kinds of pro sounding s**t on it,” he said. “Also, we wanted to let everybody know that we don’t just sing about stiffys so we have songs on there about champagne, boogie boards, being really good at sex, breakfast cereal and, of course, stiffys.”
So what advice do two of Melbourne’s grooviest boys have for the lads in Newcastle. “Ordinary guys who want to become groovy boys need to get boogie boards, do kick flips in front of the ladies, hold hands with ladies and do push-ups in front of ladies. It’s really not that hard.”

BoyA fter a bravura turn at the recent
CMC Rocks the Hunter festival Oz rock icon James Reyne will be re-
turning to the region but, this time around, it will be a bit more of a subdued affair.
Reyne, along with Tracy and Brett King-man, will be bringing his A Crawl To Now show to Lizotte’s – a stripped back affair that showcases the songwriters formida-ble catalogue, from his days with Austral-ian Crawl and the short-lived supergoup Company of Strangers to his prolific solo output.
“CMC was just fantastic – we all loved it,” Reyne told TE.
“But this show is a bit more stripped back – it’s basically a great cross-section of everything I’ve done. The backbone of the show is obviously going to be the hits, but the format also allows me to slip a few new ones in there now and then.”
There’s no denying that Reyne, both through his output with Australian Crawl (tracks like Beautiful People, Errol, Boys Light Up and Down Hearted are well and truly ensconced in the pantheon of clas-sic Oz rock) and a prodigious solo career
is one of the great Aussie songwriters. Since Australian Crawl disbanded in 1986, Reyne has gone on to release an impres-sive thirteen studio albums, most notably his self titled debut that featured such hits as Fall of Rome, Hammerhead, Motor’s Too Fast, and Heaven on a Stick and 1991’s Electric Digger Dandy.
Not one to rest on any revisionist laurels, Reyne is still a prolific songwriter with his latest album Thirteen, released in 2012, gaining high praise from fans and critics alike.
“I’m very chuffed with how that album was received,” he said.
“I write a lot more now than I used to and I guess I’m a bit more relaxed about it - it’s nice to know that people get what I do.”
In a tacit acknowledgement that Aus-tralia “gets” what Reyne does, this year he became a Member of the Order of Austral-ia for his services to the Australian music industry and various charities.
“I am really chuffed about all of that – I have no idea why they would pick me, but I’m chuffed nonetheless – although it is a bit of a worry because I am now part of the establishment –I’m not sure how I feel about being ‘the man’,” he laughed.”

The passion of flamenco
Temple Dogs return
W hen it comes to flamenco – the passionate folk music and dance from the Andalucia region in
Spain – few do it better than legendary composer and guitarist Paco Peña.
As guitarist, composer, dramatist, producer and artistic mentor he has trans-formed perceptions of this archetypal Spanish art form. His latest production Flamencura brings together the highly-skilled virtuoso talents of Paco Peña and further explores the art of flamenco in the form of the cante (song), the guitar and the dance.
Flamencura looks at present-day flamenco as well as the state of the art in years past. It is a kind of musical journey that aims to display the high level of devel-opment of modern flamenco, to highlight the razor-sharp rhythmic complexity of its latest variations in dance, song and guitar. But also, it aims to glance back to the most primitive, pure forms of this captivating art and pay due respect to the legacy that tradition has left us; to observe the enormous inspiration that past eras of flamenco have given to today's artists; to show that the high levels of virtuos-ity achieved by today's dancers and guitarists is not unrelated to the cry "in extremis" of the lone singer of the past. In
short, to show that the original vehement emotions that prompted singers, dancers and guitarists of days gone by, continue to nourish the art today and will remain the life-blood of flamenco.
When the New York Times declares that “Mr Peña is a virtuoso, capable of dazzling an audience beyond the frets of normal man,” you know that this is a show not to be missed.
F loyd Vincent will be bringing his band back to Newcastle this week for three shows around
town. The band has been renamed The Temple Dogs and has a new live album ready to drop mid-year. Despite living in Sydney, they have been stalwarts on the Newcastle scene since the early nineties The new album has tracks that have been favourites over the years and a couple of previously unreleased new songs as well. It features their high-energy world-driven sound and captures the energy of their shows in the way that only a live recording can.
This tour sees them return to the
Newcastle University for a lunchtime show at the Bar on the Hill. The last time they performed at the University, Floyd was attacked by an elderly female office worker wielding stationery. She thought they were playing way too loud and was quite upset. Floyd is coming in this time without security but is promising to bring in a pack of earplugs to keep the peace.
Catch Floyd Vincent and the Temple Dogs at Saturday 5 Wickham Park Hotel on Saturday, April 5, the Burwood Colliery Sports Club on Sunday, April 6 and the Bar on the Hill on Monday April 7 (midday).

W hen it comes to the sarto-rial splendour of vintage 1950s style, few can hold a candle to
American pin-up model and You Tube sensation Cherry Dollface.
Dollface, whose real name is Cherokee, is currently in the middle of a two-week promo tour, presented by local purveyors of alt-couture Catfight Collections has al-ready made her presence felt at the Kurri Nostalgia Festival on the weekend and will be judging Newcastle’s first “pin-up” competition – the Pin Up Throwdown – at the Cambridge, as well as conducting 1950’s-styled hair and makeup tutorials at Charlestown Square.
“I’ve only been in town for like a day and I’m still pretty jet-lagged, but I think I’m already in love with Australia,” the af-fable Dollface told TE.
“I’ve got a very busy schedule while I’m down here with the Nostalgia Fes-tival, the Throwdown competition and the styling sessions, but it’s good to keep busy.”
Dollface, whose love of all things vin-tage was sparked when she started swing dancing at 14, began modelling in 2005 when a photographer snapped a photo of her that ended up on the cover of Ol’ Skool Rodz. She has since parlayed her

R oots-rocker Claude Hay might have gained a reputation as a leading exponent of live looping
however, he has taken the surprising step of enlisting real living and breath-ing musos for the release of his new dou-ble A-side single Borracho/Run.
Weighing in somewhere between Queens of the Stoneage and CW Stonek-ing, the new tracks come from differ-ent sides of the spectrum. Borracho is classic Hay – with oodles of fuzzy funk while Run is an axe-grinding belter that makes the most of the full band sound. Speaking of the band, The Gentle Enemies, they are Ryan Van Gennip and Jon “Howler”
Howell – the tight rhythm section that has worked together in various out-fits including Chase the Sun, Marshall O’Kell and Cass Eager.
Catch Claude Hay at Grand Junction in Maitland on Fri-day, April 4 and the Stag and Hunter Hotel, on Friday, May 30.

Stephen BiSSetdistinctive look into a career that has seen her grace numerous magazines and web-sites ever since.
In 2011, at the insistence of a friend, she launched her own You Tube channel that features content ranging from vintage hair and makeup tutorials, tips on how to be a pinup model and cooking. Although she said she hoped to convey a positive message to her ever-expanding audience.
“The one thing I want people to take away from the YouTube channel is that it doesn’t matter what you look like – if you’re fat, thin, in between, whatever – it’s all about being confident and comfort-able in your own skin.”
So just what is it about the lure of vin-tage culture that has seen it explode in popularity in Australia over the past ten years?
“The style is just so classic,” she en-thused.
“Also, for girls, it’s quite a modest style which, I think, makes quite a refreshing change from the kind of things you see on MTV.”
Catch Cherry Dollface at the Pin Up Throwdown at the Cambridge Hotel on Saturday, April 5. She will also be con-ducting style sessions at Charlestown Square on Thursday, April 3 (6pm-9pm) and Saturday, April 5 (9am-12pm) for more information, phone 4023 8866 or 4962 5000.
