tWEEt tWEEt MuSiCThere has been talk recently about the social media site Twitter’s launching of a new music app. The speculation surrounding the launch comes after Twitter confirmed it had acquired the emerging music software firm We Are Hunted and then again last week when Wiz Khalifa, who has nearly 10 million follows, tweeted: “Man this new Twitter music app is insane!” Then Ryan Seacrest wrote: “Playing with twitter’s new music app (yes it’s real!)…” The new music app is believed to rank music based on personalised trends and trigger points, including what Twitter accounts are followed.

gLOOOMY tONESDeftones bassist Chi Cheng has passed away at the age of 42. Cheng had been in a paralysed state after being in a car crash in November 2008. His family released the following statement:

“This is the hardest thing to write to you. Your love, heart and devotion to Chi was unconditional and amazing. I know that you will always remember him as a giant of a man on stage with a heart for every one of you. He was taken to the emergency room and at 3 am today his heart just suddenly stopped. He left this world with me singing songs he liked in his ear… It is so hard to let go.”

The announcement was made last week that the Big Day Out will return to New Zealand in 2014. “We strongly felt that there was real desire for the event to return to Auckland,” says Auckland BDO promoter Campbell Smith.

“And more than anything else that really whet the appetite. We became determined that if we could, we should bring it back. We have spent the summer working with the Australian Big Day Out team and American partners, C3, the promoters of other major festivals including Lollapolooza, on a plan to bring the BDO back to life in New Zealand.”

In January 2014 Auckland will host a multi-stage music, art and culture event created and curated specifically for its New Zealand audience. It will have its connections to the event happening over the Tasman, but it won’t be the same and it will have its links to the past, yet it will be different.

A line-up topped by some of the biggest international and local names in rock, pop, alternative, hip hop and dance music.

The company is not yet able to confirm a new home for the festival but have been very vocal about their fingers being crossed for Western Springs Stadium and Park.

Mayor Len Brown says he would be thrilled to welcome a Big Day Out NZ back to Auckland. “Any world class city has a constellation of events to cater for the tastes of all of its residents - young and not so young. Returning a Big Day Out to our calendar in 2014 would fill a huge hole and the proposed relocation to Western Springs would bring this significant music

Your house is on fire, what do save? Stop, drop and roll. Save the Mac book Pro, iPad, iPhone, iPod, Kindle and wife and kids… (I’m joking about the Kindle.)

Favourite ‘80s TV show? The Young Ones – English comedy was and is still the best.

Dream job as a kid? Cleaning logs that came out of the swamp.

First album? The Moody Blues – The Other Side of Life.

Ultimate festival line-up? Ok, a tough question, but try this… Jimi Hendrix, Radiohead, Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley, Ben Harper, Queen and D’Angelo (the list could go on and on.)

How do you discover new music? Mainly through word of mouth and recommendations from friends.

Worst job you’ve had? Doing all the prep work for the painters. Sand paper is no good for musician’s fingertips!

Which song do you wish you wrote? I wish I had written ‘Lover, You should’ve Come Over’ by Jeff Buckley.

Biggest fear? A serious question deserves a serious answer… Being apart from my wife and kids when the world ends.

First gig in attendance? Billy T. James it was awesome.

Any vices? Eating the fat off my steak and playing too much golf. Plus watching Operation Repo and Dog the Bounty Hunter. Both of those shows are rubbish but I still find myself watching them.

Favourite lyric? ‘Walk Away’ by Ben Harper. “You put the happy in my ness…” Actually the entire song is great.

The prog-punk fusion band is back in New Zealand after a five-year absence. Lead by singer/guitarist Claudio Sanchez, whose soaring voice is a big part of their appeal, Coheed and Cambria have established an unparalleled reputation for bringing together diverse genres to create one stunning narrative on each of their albums.

Any sound purist knows while iPods may be the thing of the future, vinyl is part of the past we want to keep alive. And to keep the dream going, Record Store Day was conceived in 2007. It’s a worldwide celebration, a way to spread the word about the unique culture surrounding over 700 independently owned record stores in the US and thousands of similar stores internationally. New Zealand is doing their part too, with stores in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Palmerston North and even Waihi participating. See our Recordland section to find out what to do this Record Store Day in New Zealand.

As one of the founding members of British alt-rock band Yes, Jon Anderson was one of the most influential voices – and songwriters – of a generation. His solo show includes classic tales from his days with the group, with timeless songs from all across the Yes songbook as well as his own eclectic solo work.

The creation of garage-rocker Kyle Thomas, this bands charisma has been described as magnetic. The shows have been called “cheap-beer-soaked tent revivals”. Their solo debut album, Was Dead, was the sort of album many musicians would burn down their garages to make and their latest has captivated critics around the world. Don’t miss them tearing up the stage.

Have you been a bad boy/girl? This is the place for you. While there’s a certain amount of country music influence in their work, they can’t define themselves in straight-shooting line-dancing style. Dianne Swann and Brett Adams work their magic with unique song writing and sounds. Supported by Nightchoir.

Papamoa bad boy Tiki Taane has teamed up with Jayson Norris for a nationwide acoustic tour. Playing shows in Tauranga, Hamilton, Kaitaia, Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch, the boys are joined by special guest Jess Harlen; a New Zealand-born, Boston-based soul singer who Rolling Stone magazine recently dubbed as “an artist to watch”.

Join “The Corporate Voice Experience”, quite possibly the world’s most unusual and dodgiest band. They’re a motley collection of musical amigos keen on good times, with a seemingly insatiable appetite for Jager. They’ve even had big-name guest players on board such as Jeremy Clarkson, Jordan Luck and Daniel Bedingfield since 2004.

Celebrating their fifth anniversary this year, the Auckland band is finally making a return to the live circuit. This is the first time in a year that they’ll be taking their mixture of “pleasant melody and smashing dissonance, complex structures and punky mess” on the road.

Ever just wanted to pitch up a hammock between a couple of palm trees, kick up your feet and forget about all those back-to-work chores you have to do before Monday morning? Hell yes you do! There’s live Latin music, BYO, some kid friendly dining and just good old fashion fun to be had.

GIG OF ThE WEEK

ShIT WORTh DOINGMUSiC


A decade after the New York three-piece were blasted into the collective consciousness by the post-punk new-wave revival explosion of the early noughties, Karen O. and crew return with their fourth full-length Mosquito. A kinetic blend of the raucous intensity of their early days and the textured experimental musings of their more recent work.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs have spent ten years grinding up elements of indie rock, garage, new wave and punk into a crunchy amorphous swirl of subversive howls and expansive grooves. The on and off-stage antics of larger-than-life lead singer Karen O. and multi-instrumentalist Nick Zinner have garnered the band much mainstream curiosity as well as a loyal legion of fans across the globe.

Mosquito, the band’s fourth full length, comes after 2009’s It’s Blitz! spliced the Yeah’s traditionally raucous punk-fuelled rock n’ roll with a more synth-heavy, layered and polished sound, an evolution which afforded positive reviews and increased radio airplay, although less than expected commercial success. As if in reaction to that record, Mosquito takes us back to the band’s roots. Fuzzy guitars, reverb-drenched rhythms and Karen O’s trademark sassy charm all gel here to create a record that sounds as fresh and powerful as did their debut Fever To Tell back in 2003.

The album opens with the turbo-charged first single ‘Sacrilege’, a soulful gospel-fuelled anthem whose epic scale is up there with anything

the band has produced previously. Sampled echoes of subway carriages glide through the haunting ‘Subway’, gently punctuating it with a smooth pulsing rhythm as Karen O. channels Debbie Harry and Kate Bush to draw us into her captivating underworld.

Title track ‘Mosquito’ is classic Yeahs – a nice balance between trashy rock ‘n’ roll and honeyed melancholy. Karen O’s subtle mimicry of a buzzing mosquito subtly pervades the track, ratcheting up the tension as it builds into its vitriolic refrain, with O. repeating the warning “They’ll suck your blood”, with such infectious venom that’s it’s hard not to feel the bloodthirsty parasites crawling on your skin. Built around a sublimely simple and masterfully catchy guitar riff, the reverb-drenched ‘Slave’ is another perfect Yeahs gem, and other standout tracks include punk rock belter ‘Area 52’ and captivating ballad ‘Wedding Song’.

Overall, the album lives up to its somewhat insidious title and accompanying lurid cover art. It is an album with some unmistakably uplifting moments, but there is an irrepressible darkness, which seeps through the tracks, adding a bleakness, but also cohesion to the album. A solid effort from a band whose constant evolution and genre-hopping mystery make them always worth a listen.

WRITTEN BY DAVID KEARNEY

Metal gods Black Sabbath are back on their anticipated reunion. It’s sure to be one you’ll never forget. Original band members – the Prince of Darkness himself, Ozzy Osbourne, bassist Geezer Butler and guitarist Tony Iommi – are making a return to New Zealand for their first time since performing at the Great Ngaruawahia Music Festival in January 1973.

Canadian’s finest – next to Nickelback, obviously – Bryan Adams’ Bare Bones tour is a series of solo performances by the star, which led to his most recent album called, you guessed it, Bare Bones. Recorded in 2010 it captures sparsely arranged hits by B-ryan featuring only his distinctive voice and guitar. Look forward to beautiful acoustic music.

Good friends Luke Thompson and Lydia Cole are teaming up for an extensive tour this month. From Kerikeri to Dunedin, the pair are visiting 11 intimate venues along the way – inns, sheds and roadside taverns. These alt-pop-rockers are both talented and critically successful musicians in their own right. The intimate settings are right up their alley.

Were you just too cool for The X Factor? Or maybe you’re an up-and-coming artist who just wants to road test some new material. That, or you’re mates put you up for a laugh. Whatever the reason, come down to the self-confessed best open mic night in Auckland and try your luck for a cash prize. Go hard!

Owner Dave Howard who saw an opportunity in the marketplace and put his heart and soul for music and collectables into creating a retail-trading store where people could buy and sell quality items started the business in 1998. In the years since, Penny Lane has built-up one of the largest collections of new and top quality pre-owned CDs, DVDs, records and collectables in the South Island. They’ve become an iconic business in the Deep South and are proud to keep the tradition alive.

SOUTHBOUND RECORDS69 MT EDEN RD, AUCKLAND

The independently owned record store is a retail outlet dedicated to the sale of brand new vinyl records from around the world. With currently more than 2000 titles in store, and new shipments arriving three times a week, there is honestly everything you could think of and no doubt some that you’d never thought of before. Come in and have a free coffee and some homemade baking with the friendly folk, and check out those Record Store Day releases you have always wanted. Or, if you’re after a bit of live entertainment, listen to live performances from the man from the South, Delaney Davidson.

SLOW BOAT RECORDS183 CUBA ST, WELLINGTON

After celebrating Record Store Day in 2012, they’re out to do it bigger and better this year. The special day features New Zealand music stalwart and legendary founder member of The Clean, David Kilgour, performance from touring US bluesman Watermelon Slim (who has performed alongside John Lee Hooker, Champion Jack Dupree, Robert Cray and Bonnie Raitt), and rounding out the line-up (fresh from their successful support slot with Rodriguez) will be local folksy trio Eb & Sparrow. They’ve also worked around the clock to ensure there is a bunch of limited releases on the day only, so get in early.

VINYL COUNTDOWN109 DEVON ST WEST , NEW PLYMOUTH

What up, Taranaki? Vinyl Countdown is proud to continue the legacy of quality independent music stores in New Plymouth with a huge selection of new and used records, CDs and DVDs, and loads of T-shirts, merch and much more. World Record Day is pumping out the free stuff with prize packs to be won, free bag grabs, specials of the day and…dun dun dun… a sausage sizzle, with all of the moola of the sizzle going to women’s refuge – not only are you supporting vinyl revival but also a good cause. It’s gonna be lots of fun and with live music – who could say no?


RECORD STORE DAY

JEFFREY STOTHERS OWNER OF SOUTHBOUND DISTRIBUTION AND RECORD STORE

What are you working on right now? The new Steve Earle album The Low Highway and Record Store Day LP & DVD Releases.

Who was an inspiration or idol to you growing up? Paul Weller – I was (still am) a massive fan of The Jam.

When you were a kid, what was your dream job? To work in a record store!

Where was the last place you went out for dinner? Oh Calcutta – big fan of Indian.

Where’s the best place to get Eggs Benedict? Well I’m not a fan of Eggs Benedict, but I do love breakfast at Conch Grill.

What has been the best show you’ve attended this year? Elvis Costello at The Civic – brilliant gig. ‘Peace, Love and Understanding’, so good!

What show are you most anticipating this year? Well I missed the very first “instore” in my own shop, Southbound Records, (I was in Melbourne for AWME) and it was a great success. Delaney Davidson and Marlon Williams played. We had such a good turn out, Delaney is playing again for us for Record Store Day and I am really looking forward to it.

What’s your guilty pleasure? Chocolate, red wine and vinyl… all the big ones!

What do you most respect about your friends? Loyalty and also none of them are Queen fans!

A usual Saturday night for you is… If no gigs, catching up on TV shows... with a wine or two.

A usual Wednesday night for you is… I am up late ordering stock and new releases. Most of the companies we deal with are in the UK or the US, so night time is the best time to be up talking with them.

One piece of advice you’ve never forgotten… Once while working with Dolly Parton in London, she said to me “ Jeffrey, what goes on the road, stays on the road!” And of course it did! (So don’t ask me what it was).

The biggest mistake you’ve made is… As a buyer for HMV in London, buying way too many copies of The Psychedelic Furs – Midnight-Midnight (1987) – think they were in the 50p bin for a very long time.

The biggest success you’ve had is… Getting The Mavericks to No 4 in the UK Pop Charts.

New Zealand music needs more… Grit and determination.

Name five things surrounding you right now. My trusty iMac, my Arsenal Emirates ticket from the game I went to in January, The Berlin Public Transport Music Map that needs to be framed and all the Steve Earle & Record Store Day stock going out the door!

What’s the best record company “do” you have ever been to? Dinner at the Factory Records office in Manchester. Even the menu had a catalogue no: FAC341. Being sent to Lollapalooza Atlanta to see the Beastie Boys and then to New York for Woodstock 2, to watch from the stage, Joe Cocker opening the festival.

SARAH WILLIAMSON REAL GROOVY STORE MANAGER

Re-write your job description in a sentence: Welcome to your new role as store manager. Everything is your fault and enjoy your imminent heart attack.

What did you want to do when you grew up and how close did you get? I thought I wanted to be a commando and abseil down buildings dressed as a ninja, (I am not lying) and I got quite close, because last year I managed to do about 3 push-ups in a row (not the girly kind.)

What’s your biggest priority right now? Googling pictures of children falling over.

What’s your favourite venue in the country – past and present? The Crown in Dunners for nostalgia – it was dero as (assuming you were asking “favourite venue for getting a cold sore.”) If the Kings Arms had the stage at the other end, so you didn’t feel like a knob walking in when someone is playing, it would be a contender.

Where was the last place you went out for dinner? Jambalaya. I ate a pulled pork burger and it ruled.

Best gig this year? The recent New Way Home/Decortica/Snakes of Iron/Resporn/Rule of Thieves gig at The Rising Sun.

What’s your guilty pleasure? Boy bands. I love them, and not solely because I am a dirty old perv (that is a major factor.)

Is tall poppy syndrome a thing? Yes. She went to my primary school (boooo... I’m sorry I will show myself out.) Yeah, us silly kiwis are so busy trying to be down to earth we don’t know how to give or receive praise well, and just end up being eggs.

A usual Saturday night for you is… Googling pictures of Ryan Gosling. Looking in the mirror and start crying. Drink Scrumpy and listen to some records or hopefully see some bands playing at Tiger Spit Garage. Make avocado on toast, hit the sack and sleep sideways.

A usual Wednesday night for you is… It’s the day before payday, so flat Scrumpy from the back of the fridge and read a graphic novel or six.


ShIT WORTh EATING

A lover of music? Chances are you’re a big fan of coffee & food too. Why not combine your favourite things in one hip place? One of Auckland’s best-known coffee brands is serving their premium coffee from within the iconic record store Real Groovy. It’s pretty awesome – in between looking for that 5ive CD you’ve always wanted or, for those with a bit more taste, the vinyl you’ve always dreamed of, you can get a piping hot cuppa java and a sandwich to keep you wide eyed and bush tailed. The man in charge is Guy, so come and say hi and get on the coffee train.

AtOMiC CAFÉ REAL gROOVY438 QUEEN ST

The best place for vegetarians and vegans – try their delicious tofu scrabble! But never fear meat lovers – you are also treated with respect and their hot dogs are to die for. Did we mention the supreme coffee and home-baked goods? Yeap, time to get down there.

ViNYL COFFEE SHOP218 DOMINION RD

The Conch Backyard Kitchen is now open for business, hooking you up with food and drinks to keep your stomach satisfied while your musical spirit takes a break. Get in early for breakfast for your health fix, with options such as their muesli, free-range eggs poached with guacamole and organic fresh baked bread.

An underground music venue with attitude, Whammy Bar takes an ordinary night and puts a real punch into it – as the name suggests. Right in the heart of Auckland City on K Rd, if you’re after a great venue to listen to a range of music and have a cheap beer, then Whammy is the place. Never limited by genre or sound, the only prerequisite to play at Whammy is to be kick ass and have a killer attitude. It’s got a reputation for off-the-chain events and has been an institute in the Little Big City.

sAt 20 Apr VECTOR ARENA, AuCKLAND

Mon 22 Apr VECTOR ARENA, AuCKLAND

Ok, sO what are you doing on Record store Day? after the shops shut? well save some aRRRRR for Ozzy. Yes, indeed. the original bat-biter and his merry men are coming this way.

Founding band members Ozzy Osbourne, bassist Geezer Butler and guitarist tony Iommi are booking their tickets, flushing illegal substances and stringing up their gear in anticipation of a thunderous return to our shores, hitting auckland’s Vector arena on sat 20 apr. Believe it or not this is the first time they’ve been here, as Black sabbath, since the Great Ngaruawahia Music Festival in January 1973.

hailing from Birmingham, England, sabbath released their self-titled debut album back in February 1970. their follow up album was a seminal masterpiece, Uk #1 album Paranoid and featured the all-time rock anthems ‘war Pigs’ and ‘Iron Man’, and the title track, ‘Paranoid’. this album became the virtual blueprint of modern day English heavy Metal.

the three originals were schoolmates, initially forming a band called the Polka tulk Blues Company. seeing this a career limiting option they quickly changed their name to Earth, then, in 1969, to Black sabbath. the name was the title from bassist Geezer Butler’s song - he was a big fan of occult novelist Dennis wheatley.

In spite of their name, the crosses erected onstage, and songs dealing with apocalypse, death, and destruction, the band members insisted their interest in the black arts was nothing more than innocuous curiosity. During the mid 70’s Osbourne, reeling from drug use and excessive drinking, quit the band briefly in late 1977 to be eventually replaced by Ronnie James Dio (Rainbow), although Dio could belt with the best of them, sabbath would never be the same.

sickness and arguments led to various line up changes and friction between Iommi and Dio caused the singer to quit angrily in ‘82, to start his own band, Dio. after that various vocalists had a crack: Dave Donato, Deep Purple singer Ian Gillan, another ex-member of Deep Purple Glenn hughes, tony Martin, and Dio again. But no one could replace Ozzy, who by now was reviving his own solo career, thanks in part to former manager, sharon (later his wife).

In mid 2001 the original members found their way back for a new Black sabbath album to be produced by Rick Rubin. But the band scrapped all the material and the album never materialized. the band was put on hold throughout 2002 as Osbourne refocused on his solo music and new MtV reality show, The Osbournes, in which his family was portrayed as a sort of real-life Munsters. we loved the show and Ozzy became a star - again! the band came back together for the 2004 and 2005 Ozzfest tours.

In June 2012 Black sabbath memorably headlined the 10th Download Festival at Donington before a crowd of 100,000. they followed that show in august with a much talked about headlining set at 2012’s sold-out Lollapalooza Festival in Chicago.

Believe it or not Black sabbath are back for another try, recording their first new studio album in more than 33 years, helmed by Rick Rubin and due for release in June. we are holding our breath!

This gritty urban thriller puts a dark and mysterious character against the twin evils of politics and crime. Edgar has come home from two years in Miami and quickly launches a scheme with a motorbike-riding mugger. Meanwhile, Julia warns the gangster Maicon that he will be arrested any day.

Tropicália is a Brazilian artistic movement that arose in the late 1960s, encompassing art forms such as theatre, poetry, and music. It shook the structures of Brazilian popular music and influenced several generations. With revealing interviews, archival footage and songs from that period.

See Brazil through a different lens...

Before Pelé, there was Heleno de Freitas – a talented player whose arrogance and violent temper would destroy his life both on and off the field. Film director Fonseca conjures evokes the movies of the classic Hollywood era.

who’s in the dead supergroup for your dream hologram show? Amy Winehouse, Marvin Gaye, Johnny Cash and Tito Puente.

what’s an upcoming film you’re jazzed about? Hitchcock.

where can your stalkers find you during the weekend? Villa-Lobos Park; MuBE (Brazilian Museum of Sculptures) and Pinacoteca do Estado (The State’s Pinacothèque).

arTiST Q&a

your signature “i’m an amazing cook” dish is… Moroccan couscous with squid or fettuccine al limone.

the best tv show around at the moment is… Destino SP (a dramatic Brazilian TV series on São Paulo’s immigration movements and prejudices.)

the best place for a date night is… Florian Café, in San Marco Piazza, Venice (Venice, Italy).

you’d get arrested if the police knew that you… Tried to set some people guilty of things they deserved to be guilty of (but weren’t actually).

people say you look like… Tom Cruise.

kittens or puppies? A basset hound puppy named Nikolai Romanov, the II.

what generic current affair has your blood boiled? Public fights against evil evangelic Brazilian politicians who have been trying to marginalize gay people (homophobic pastors).

ChRIStIANO SENSIexecutive producer froM two rABBits

http://www.reelbrazil.co.nz/


it’s not just tom cruise having flashbacks in Oblivion. Despite the film being something of a modern rarity – a big-budget sci-fi tale based on an original idea – it is as blatantly strewn with elements of other genre predecessors as its post-apocalyptic setting is with iconic New York landmarks. By time the credits roll, though, you’ll be ready to forgive the familiarity as director Joseph Kosinski seldom overreaches in assembling this enjoyable, if not (metaphorically) earth-shattering, tale.

Kosinski quickly establishes Oblivion’s scorched Earth setting – complete with a stunningly pulverised moon in orbit that brings to mind the trippy objects in A Quiet Earth’s skyline – and the straight-forward mission of “effective team” Jack (Cruise) and Victoria (Andrea Riseborough), who work in tandem to locate and repair a fleet of security drones.

Cruise has always made for an unconvincing everyman, so as we zip

around with him across a stunning icy and rocky landscape (now concealing the Big Apple) there are some cringe-worthy moments including a terrible Superbowl monologue. Worse still is his terrible romantic chemistry with both Riseborough and Olga Kurylenko, problematic given the importance of the latter’s relationship with Cruise to the overall plot.

There’s plenty to enjoy if you can look past the unconvincing emotional connections though. Oblivion boasts a bunch of plot twists, and while many of them can be seen coming, there’s a refreshing lack of showiness to the way Kosinski unfurls his narrative. In not going for one twist too many or trying for too spectacular a conclusion, Oblivion proves more satisfying than you’d expect based on these merely semi-positive sentiments.

Go behind the relationship between bad-boy Johnny Cash and his talented yet troubled manager, Saul Holiff. The story is told through the eyes of Saul’s son searching for his father in the shadow of a legend. His father left behind a storage locker filled with relics from a life that Jonathan never knew – one that featured he notorious singer.

By now you would have heard of K-pop, the Korean supergroup phenomenon that’s exploded into the Western world. This doco follows a year in the manufacture of a one of these groups and their exhausting journey to seek fame. The Star Empire is looking for nine young models, seemingly selected more for their looks than their singing abilities.

Tom Cruise, Daniel Craig, Mark Wahlberg, Javier Bardem, Jake Gyllenhaal and Arnold Schwarzenegger are just a few of the fantastic guests to visit Graham’s trademark orange couch in season 12. In the all-new show, fans can count on more great guests, laugh-out-loud stories, outrageous characters, and of course Graham Norton doing what he does best.

Elijah Wood returns to our TV screens in Wilfred as Ryan, a suicidal ex-lawyer who finds salvation in the form of Wilfred (Jason Gann), a dog to the outside world that Ryan (and only Ryan) sees as a pushy, Aussie in a cheap dog costume. It’s a quirky comedy that’s like nothing you have seen before.

Defying the typical blonde Barbie doll-like Disney princess convention, Mulan retells an old Chinese folktale about a young maiden who, to save her father from death in the army, secretly goes in his place and becomes one of China’s greatest heroes in the process. It’s an uplifting musical tale to inspire young ladies.

It’s back for a second season and here to make more Australian’s dreams come true. Seal, Joel Madden and Delta Goodrem return to the coaching chairs, and this time international superstar Ricky Martin joins the panel. All four coaches will battle it out – each one hoping to discover and nurture the next great voice.

aPRIL’s aBOUt tO get a whole lot louder! the Us rock band aerosmith is planning their only kiwi date at Dunedin’s new indoor 40,000 capacity stadium on april 24. Grammy award-winner and american Idol judge steven tyler is bringing his scarves, tie-dye and attitude to the deep south.

tyler was recently quoted as becoming interested in performing in scarfie country after reports back from his eldest daughter, Liv – one of the stars of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. when planning the Down Under leg of the tour, he piped up and made sure Dunedin was also included. I wonder if bungee jumping at hackett’s, jetboating, paraponting or drinking pinot noir will be on the to Do list whilst he’s around?

Local promoters McManus Entertainment are stoked by the “major coup” – it’s as big as it gets for the stadium. “this is right up there ... it’s good for the stadium and absolutely fantastic for the city.”

Now into their third decade and still going strong, the founding “Bad Boys of Boston” steven (vocals), Joe Perry (guitars), tom hamilton (bass), and Joey kramer (drums), plus long serving guitarist Brad whitford, have outdone all the trends and fads of rock ‘n’ roll. aerosmith blew out of the early ‘70s with a sexy Jagger-swagger, metal and glam, responsible for essential power ballads like ‘Dream On’, and gold and platinum albums such as Get Your Wings, Toys In The Attic and Rocks.

By the mid ‘80s the star had faded a little. that is until in 1986 tyler and Perry appeared on Run DMC’s cover of ‘walk this way’, which brought a whole new listenership to the band. and aerosmith were back with smash hits such as ‘Dude Looks Like a Lady’, ‘Rag Doll’, ‘angel, Love In an Elevator’ and Grammy award-winner ‘Janie’s Got a Gun’. MtV also owe them a debt, having been the driving force behind many innovative clips during the pastel era.

aerosmith is still making it in music, churning out solo’, touring the pants off and judging talent contests. In 2012, aerosmith released their 15th studio album, Music From Another Dimension! and kicked off their Global Warming tour which, appropriately hits Dunedin shortly before the snowy season. Opening for them will be aussie hard rockers wolfmother, alongside the Dead Daisies (featuring former INXs singer Jon stevens) plus wellington-based head Like a hole and Diva Demolition.

Gates open around 4pm and pump all night. Make sure you go to the bathroom before leaving, you won’t wanna miss anything!
