Kiss FM, In The Mix and Billboard “The Venue” present Carl Cox
on Friday May 4th 2007
After slammin' it on the festival circuit, the distinguished DJ/Producer Carl Cox makes a rare and highly anticipated return to the environment he cherishes the most, in his only Australian club show at Melbourne's Billboard “The Venue” on Friday 4th May.
Cox makes this not-to-be-missed DJ appearance hot of the trail from playing alongside other world class DJ's including Fatboy Slim, Josh Wink, Yusef and Danny Tenaglia at Ultra Festival, one of the biggest dance industry parties in the world held annually at the Miami Winter Music Conference. This show also closely follows Australian festival headline spots at the Future Music Festival tour earlier this month as well as New Year's festivities at Harbour Party (NYE, Sydney) and Sunshine People (NYD, Melbourne).
Harnessing all the energy garnered from playing to tens of thousands fans at these colossal dance parties, Cox makes a return to his much loved and more intimate environment in his only club performance in Melbourne since early last year, with no other club gigs lined up in Australia until 2008, to deliver a personal party to treasure for all time.
Cox's renowned affinity to Australia and his dedication to cultivating the local dance industry make this a welcomed homecoming. With the Melbourne area being his ‘home away from home'; twice awarded DJ of the year Cox hosts the world's fastest growing electronic music show, Carl Cox Global, on Melbourne's leading dance music radio station, Kiss FM and is currently producing his next release featuring home grown talent.
Billboard “The Venue” also hosts premier artist and legend Todd Terry in his first-time-ever Melbourne performance ever on Friday 13th April.

SWAYZAK AUSTRALIAN TOUR (EASTER 05 APR 2007 – 08 APR 2007)
Any electronic outfit worth its weight can move a room, but only the few and the proud, such as Swayzak, can create one.
For the first time SWAYZAK comes to Australia. This is electronic music with atmospheric funk, uncluttered lushness, full of warmth and feeling.
Over the last ten years, they've created a unique combination of techno, deep house and electro, belting out 5 studio albums, 2 brilliant DJ compilations and releasing a number of side projects. Always on point, Swayzak's sound, like their name, keeps you guessing.
In 1998, for their debut LP “'Snowboarding
in Argentina” was awarded
Album of the Year by USA mag ‘MIXER'.
Receiving critical acclaim for their
second long-player “Himawari”
in 2000, this brilliant album featured
collaborations from proclaimed dub poet
Benjamin Zephaniah, Kirsty Hawkshaw
and JB Rose, bringing further expression
to the already warm, organic soundscapes
created by Swayzak. Further cementing
their place with releases through !K7,
Swayzak went onto release their internationally
acclaimed third album “'Dirty
Dancing” in 2002. ‘'Loops
from the Bergerie' (2004),
featured the vocals of Richard Davis
and Clair Dietrich and ‘Route
De La Slack' combined a divine
selection of remixes and rarities. The
highly anticipated new album is slated
for releases in June 2007.
While Taylor runs 240 volts label and
records his own material under his own
name and ‘'Darkfarmer', David
Brown continues a hectic live schedule
with percussionist Francesco Brini as
“SWAYZAK” live and with
DJ Roger 23 who will join him on this
Australian DJ Soundsystem Tour.
So prepare for boarding and allow yourself
to be seduced by the music of the SWAYZAK
Soundsystem –the sound that transcends
gender, race, class, language and geography,
Deep electronic soul for your dancing
feet.

The New Black video "See You Tonight" clip
“'See you tonight'”
is the latest single and video to be
released off The New Black's debut Ep
“'Your heart,
my sleeve'” which spawned
the incredibly urgent and catchy song,
“Away” which achieved Triple
J rotation, and selection for Triple
J's Home and Hosed Compilation CD. The
Ep has been receiving glowing reviews
“Melbourne's catchiest powerpop
4 piece possibly ever” (Single
of the week, Rave Magazine).
The Salvation Army, nursing homes, The Clash, Buzzcocks, 70's punk….a weird mix, but also the foundation of The New Black. Singer/songwriters Etienne Mamo and Scott MacArthur met while Scott was performing with The Salvation Army, courtesy of Centrelink, for elderly citizens at a nursing home. Etienne happened to be there visiting and caught Scott's rendition of the Bowie classic “Rebel, Rebel” The two got talking and soon together quickly formed a band.
Their first release, the single “Karenin's
smile” was warmly welcomed
and the new Ep has continued to see
the band creep up on Australian audiences
to become one of the hot new bands on
the horizon for 2007. It's led to esteemed
supports with The Grates, Red Riders,
The Exploders, Diamond Nights (US) and
US legends Urge Overkill.

Peter Hall & Jaslyn Hall Presents Direct from Brazil The Bossa Nova Hot Club with Sally Ford & The Pachuco Playboys
on Thursday 18 and Friday 19 January 2007
“The best of bossa nova, like all great popular music, is simply timeless.” The Times UK
Direct from Rio de Janeiro, eight masterful musicians will turn Melbourne's Spanish Club into a Bossa Nova Hot Club for an evening of seductive beats, samba rhythms and laid-back cool jazz. This special night of music is a rare opportunity to experience four living legends, backed by a bossa nova quartet, as they deliver the romance and rhythms of the music that seduced the world.
Composer Marcos Valle will direct one of Brazil's most fabled divas Wanda Sá, the man credited with inventing the bossa nova rhythm João Donato on jazz piano, and one of the original members of the bossa nova movement, Roberto Menescal, on guitar.
Marcos Valle has worked with everyone from Sergio Mendes to Frank Sinatra and Sarah Vaughan. He has composed many great bossa nova classics, in particular ‘Samba de Verão' (So Nice), ‘Os Grilos' and ‘Batucada'. In recent years Valle's music has been rediscovered by a new generation of DJs and producers, including Sterolab and The Black Eyed Peas.
Wanda Sá first came to notice with her stunning debut album Vagamente (1964)before joining Sergio Mendes and Brasil '65 where her versions of bossa nova songs became recognised around the world as the classic interpretations. She has since worked with the who's who of Brazilian popular music.
João Donato is a composer and musician credited with inventing the bossa nova rhythm. Regarded as one of Brazil's most important musicians and arrangers, Donato has released over 30 solo albums since producing his first in 1953.
Roberto Menescal is regarded as one of the fathers of bossa nova, credited with composing such classics as ‘Ah, Se Eu Pudesse', ‘Errinho à Tôa', ‘Nos e o Mar', ‘Rio', ‘Você' and ‘Vagamente'. Menescal is also a major producer, session player and composer with his own recording label Albatroz.
Supporting this extraordinary line up of bossa nova heavies is a hot quartet of Jesse Sadoc on flugelhorn, Patrizia Alvi on vocals, Alberto Continentino on bass and Renato Massa on percussion.
Bossa Nova is a long love story between two apparently different musical worlds: Brazilian samba and American modern jazz. It was in the early 1950s that musicians such as João Donato, João Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Jobin and Eumir Deodato began to expand the scope of their popular dance music by adopting modern jazz harmonies and jazz-oriented improvisation. Some forty years later, the spirit and passion of bossa nova lives on. Its influence on contemporary music is heard on countless remix albums, Brazilian lounge collections, and by hip producers and DJs worldwide.

POMOMOFO – DEBUT SELF TITLED EP OUT EARLY NOVEMBER
LAUNCH PARTY AT STARFUCKERS, CLUB 77 THIS SATURDAY
Sporting a ‘cult' status on the Sydney scene with their cutting edge computer-rock, visual gymnastics and intertextual madness; electro wunderkinds Pomomofo, drop their debut EP early November amid a buzz generated by their distinct live performances and definitive media attention.
The future looks bright for this young band; the EP features the previously self-released track 'Late Night City Skylines' currently receiving high rotation on Sydney's FBi Radio as well as a new track 'Been Around Town' anticipated for high rotation on Triple J. Such media support is a testament to their talent with early media interest also from press, such as The Brag awarding the EP "Indie Album of the Week", as well as television with Triple J's J-TV filming a special on the lads this weekend (airing soon).
Pomomofo's sound is a collage of tech-electro, synth pop and stadium rock, and draws influences from French house, early 80s electro-funk and Krautrock so it's no surprise that they have performed alongside local heavyweights The Presets, Midnight Juggernauts and The Valentinos as well as at last year's Homebake Festival. And Pomomofo continue to electrify audiences, counting the man himself Jamie Oliver, when they served up a tasty DJ dish at the opening of his famous ‘Fifteen' restaurant in Melbourne.
Following this weekend's EP launch, the boys take to the road, performing a small number of exclusive shows to promote the EP before following up with a larger East Coast tour in February 2006.
Pomomofo's self titled EP is due out early November 2006 on Kitch34/Shock Records with the official launch of the EP at Starfuckers at Club 77, Sydney.
Upcoming dates:
13/10/2006 The Abercrombie Hotel Sydney (DJ SET)

Dreams of war, dreams of liars, dreams of dragons' fire- and of things that will bite! The Pharmacy zombie sex gang returns like the beasts under your bed with another symphony for the damned- an angst-ridden sonnet for the doom generation! With the combined fury of ten thousand raised fists- we shall march on the churches and stand triumphant under the united banner of the Pharmacy fourth Reich! Who knows? Not me. We shall never lose control- so come face to face with the men who sold the world!
Crashing headlong into destiny, Pharmacy's own brand of sonic destruction celebrates six years of bad taste, pseudo revolutionary posturing and countless trademark violations. Everything has been said before- there's nothing new to say anymore, thus Pharmacy's dark light has shone the nation wide with regular covens in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and more recently Auckland and Tokyo. Instrumental in the early career of David Bowie, Pharmacy has recently been knighted by the Queen Of England for services to science, which include developing a cure for dwarfism as well as some initial success in its attempts to clone Jesus. Pharmacy...
NEW VENUE ANNOUNCED FOR PHARMACY BLACK [REIGN IN BLOOD]!!!
Due to conflicting booking schedules at the Metro Nightclub for Sat 9 Sept and a massively overwhelming response to Pharmacy Black we are proud to announce that we are taking the whole show down the road to a sensational new party space- Festival Hall. There has been such a groundswell of support for this event that ticket sales look due to dwarf the capacity of the Metro! What does this mean to you?
* Recently unused warehouse space for up to 3500 punters- that means plenty of dancing space baby! Tickets are limited and still selling like greased lightening!
* Bigger, louder and clearer sound- Pharmacy have booked a system in there that will shake the gods awake!
* A unique space that can be enslaved to present the wildest Pharmacy performances and productions to date! Massive video walls, laser symphony and the depraved performances courtesy of Primal People.
* New hours of operation: This event now kicks off at 4:00pm and runs through until 1:00am. This day/night concept means all the magic of a Sunshine People style event but with the show running longer into the night! Full set times announced 25.08.06.
* We will have a continuation / after party for everyone to keep rockin- details announced soon.
* Please join the fray and help spread the good word- tell your friends, sell the story to Newsweek, spam your myspace friends- help us make sure everyone gets the message!
* Festival Hall has played host to Every Picture Tells A Story, The Beatles, The Chemical Brothers, The Prodigy, Blink182, Kanye West, Greenday, Justin Timberlake, Methodman & Redman, Cypress Hill, Public Enemy, Megadeth, Incubus, Pantera and Foo Fighters to name but an elite few- here comes Pharmacy Black!
It has been far too long since events of this scale have been featured in old school style warehouse venues- instead cramped into nightclubs with scaled down production- Pharmacy is proud to take a step forward and lay it on the line to provide our dedicated punters with the event everyone truly deserves. Are you sick and tired of breaks and house dominated festivals?

Kenny Opening Box Office
After only two weeks into release,
Kenny, a film by the
Jacobson Brothers, distributed by Madman
Cinema, has taken over one million dollars
at the Australian box office. Kenny opened
in cinemas August 17th on 77 screens and
will be expanding to a total of 90 screens
from 31st of August with further expansions
to follow. Kenny was the only film in
the top ten to have an increase over the
weekend. The box office result recorded
an 11% increase. Bill McDermid,
National Film Manager for Greater Union
Cinemas said “this is sensational
and a very rare occurrence in the current
market for a film to increase in the second
week. We are used to films dropping by
10 – 30%”.
Many cinemas are also reporting repeat
visits and witnessing responses that are
reminiscent of the good old fashioned
days of going to the cinema, “in
almost all sessions not only are audience
members staying until the very end of
the credits they are openly showing their
appreciation by clapping and cheering,
an experience that we have not seen in
many years”. Bill McDermid,
National Film Manager for Greater Union
Cinemas explains.
Anna McLeish, Theatrical
Distribution Manager, Madman Cinema says “the goodwill and support that
KENNY is receiving from cinemas, audiences,
and critics is exceptional. It is a genuine
indicator that KENNY has the potential
to enjoy audience popularity for many
weeks ahead, and live on in the landscape
of Australian cinema. We are thrilled
that a film and central character so deserved
of this acclaim, is striking a chord with
Australians everywhere."
Director of Kenny, Clayton Jacobson said "It’s been wonderful
seeing the diversity of audiences respond
to Kenny – it seems anyone that
has ever been to the toilet is finding
common ground with the film from young
to old. Kenny appears to be connecting
with people on a very personal level.”
About Kenny: - From the
biggest festival to the smallest church
social, Kenny Smyth delivers porta-loos
to them all. Part philosopher, part comedian
and all heart, Kenny is one of the cogs
in society’s machinery; a knight
in shining overalls taking care of business
with his faithful ‘Splashdown crew’.
The film lifts the lid on one of Australia’s
roughest diamonds KENNY as he juggles
family tensions, fatherhood and sewage
with charm, humour and unflinching dignity.
Kenny is a Thunderbox
Film, released by Madman Cinema.
