Following on from the first line-up announcement earlier this month, now comes the mega second announcement - and it’s huge!




King Kapisi
Heading the announcement is New Zealand Hip Hop maestro King Kapisi. Hailing from Wellington but with Samoan heritage, King Kapisi was the first NZ hip hop artist to win the prestigious Silver Scroll Award at the APRA awards for Songwriter of the Year, for his 1999 single Reverse Resistance. Sales from his albums Savage Thoughts and 2nd Round Testament have both reached the gold status mark, whilst internationally he’s toured throughout Europe, the US, Japan and Australia, supporting the likes of Janet Jackson, Moby, Black Eyed Peas, Beastie Boys, Michael Franti and Spearhead, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and many more. King Kapisi is well and truly one of NZ’s greatest Hip Hop artists and it’s a pleasure to have him at Island Vibe 2010.

Mista Savona
A much loved part of Island Vibe, Mista Savona hits up Straddie after the release of his brand new album Warn The Nation. Signed to Elefant Tracks, the album follows after his critically acclaimed 2007 release Melbourne Meets Kingston, which recorded over three years with a collaboration of Jamaican and Australian musicians. He is the first Australian producer to release his own riddim series in Jamaica, the successful Fire Dragon Riddim featuring performances Sizzla, Burro Banton and Vida-Sunshyne. They also feature on his new album, as well as heavyweight dancehall and reggae artists Capleton, Anthony B, Alton Ellis, Bungle, and Horace Andy. Featuring swirling middle eastern strings, sub-bass mayhem and bad-ass beat programming, the album stands as a dense, mesmerizing, raw, beautiful and powerful vehicle for Savona and his collaborators. Catch it live at Island Vibe.

Bunna Lawrie
A member of seminal act Coloured Stone, Bunna Lawrie is a statesman of the Australian music industry. He was awarded the Don Banks Music Award in 1999 for his outstanding contribution to Australian Music – the first time this award has ever gone to a rock musician, let alone an indigenous one. Bunna founded Coloured Stone in the small SA community of Kooniba in 1978, and some 32 years later the band is still touring, having played Big Day Out and Woodford Folk to name a few. Bunna is set to take to the stage solo at this year’s festival.

Add to that Ali Baba feat. Greg Sheehan, Mr Percival, Spacifix, Saritah, The Nomad, Cheap Fakes, Raz Bin Sam and The Lion I Band, Bobby Alu, Erther, Resteteser, Juddah, The Flumes, Anarchist Duck, One Rude Ape feat. Sunny Dread and DJ Catkid.

Island Vibe 2010, borrowing a little from its sister festival West End Carnivale, will be injecting a spicy collection of circus, burlesque and more, with the addition of: Tiger Lil, La Viola Vixen, Miss BB le Buff, Ruby Grapefruit, Hoopla Clique, YoYoBanG, Tweet, Little Miss Rampage, Toulouse Mime, Hu La La!, Talitha, Mali de Goey and Percy Valentine

They join the already announced: Ladi 6 (NZ), Groundation (US), Paula Fuga (Hawaii), Opiuo, Darky Roots, Kooii, Rhythm Hunters, Impossible Odds, Paua, Djambouki, 20,000 Leagues, Rhythm Collision Sound, De La Haye, DJ Mustaphaa, Andy Dub and Landsoaken

Note: Unfortunately, Zennith have had to pull out from Island Vibe 2010.

ACCOMMODATION UPDATE

There is still plenty of accommodation available, but make sure you get in quick to ensure you get preferred splice of the island. Camping spots are available at Amity Point and Dunwich, and with regular and rapid bus services running across the island, it’s easy to get between your campsite and the festival.

Now into its fifth big year, Island Vibe has solidified its reputation as the leading Reggae, Roots and Cultural festival in the South Pacific. The three day festival held in late October annually on the pristine North Stradbroke Island is the ideal home of great tunes and good vibes, with thousands of people from around Australia making the annual pilgrimage to enjoy the festival.

2009 marked the biggest year yet for the event with Chali 2na, Natiruts and Sunshine Sound System rocking the line-up, and the festival enjoying an almost virtual sell-out. The build-up for this year’s Island Vibe has already kicked in to overdrive, as early bird and second-round tickets sold out in record time. Still, there is plenty of tickets and accommodation available, but get in quick to lock away your place amongst the music, sun, surf and sand.

Stradbroke Ferries
Once again Stradbroke Ferries are coming onboard with Island Vibe to offer you plenty of solutions for getting to the festival. Head to the transport section at the Island Vibe website for details on how to get your ferry pass for a discounted rate. Book early to secure your preferred departure time.

The Greener Festival Award
Island Vibe was one of 8 festivals and the first from Queensland to be awarded the 2010 Greener Festival Award. The awards are presented to festivals who show a dedicated commitment to the environment, both through their actions and trying to positively impact those of their attendees. Island Vibe was commended for making sure beverages were consumed from reusable cups, ensuring our market vendors lead the way through use of biodegradable products, plates, detergents and packaging, and collecting all organic waste and donating it to the first ever Stradbroke Island Community Gardens, and finally aiming for a plastic bag free event.


Island Vibe
3 Days: Friday 29th, Saturday 30th & Sunday 31st October

Archie Roach

Though obviously not hip hop / RnB - Archie Roach will be performing on stage both solo as well as with Fred Leone from Impossible Odds. Fred and Archie have a long history together, having co written with each other - one track of which they will be performing live at Stylin’ Up 2010. Archie is also a national Indigenous icon whose presence at Stylin’ Up runs true with the ideals of the event.

Saturday May 29 @ CJ Greenfields Sports Complex, Inala
Pride in SELF / Pride in COMMUNITY / Pride in CULTURE [


Australia's largest Indigenous youth HIP HOP / RnB and cultural festival Stylin' UP returns for 2010 for its TENTH YEAR ANNIVERSARY.

Stylin’ UP was established in 2001 by local Inala elders in partnership with Brisbane City Council as a way of instilling their youth with pride in themselves, their community and their culture. The event now attracts crowds from across Queensland in excess of 15 000 each year, and has grown to become Australia's largest Indigenous Hip Hop and R&B music and dance event that celebrates youth and contemporary Indigenous culture.Produced with and for young people in Brisbane and across Queensland, Stylin' Up is also an award winning, nationally lauded contemporary Indigenous creative arts development program (winning the 2004 Premier of QLD award and a Reconciliation award in 2008).

Stylin' Up's mantra Pride in SELF / Pride in COMMUNITY / Pride in CULTURE, emphasises its commitment to young Indigenous people to take a positive step towards personal and social change, which ultimately contributes to community change. Stylin UP has been developed within a community development framework including a large workshop program facilitated by leading local artists in the run up to the event each year. The workshops run in local schools in the South West Brisbane Corridor as well as through a regional program facilitated by Human Ventures. These workshop programs nurture the next generation of artists as well as passing on the inherent values of Stylin UP no shame - step up and be proud; represent your culture and your community.

Being the tenth year anniversary, many key performers from previous years have been asked to return - to celebrate and showcase their (and Stylin’ Up’s) success. The entire line up has now been officially announced:
Archie Roach

Though obviously not hip hop / RnB - Archie Roach will be performing on stage both solo as well as with Fred Leone from Impossible Odds. Fred and Archie have a long history together, having co written with each other - one track of which they will be performing live at Stylin’ Up 2010. Archie is also a national Indigenous icon whose presence at Stylin’ Up runs true with the ideals of the event.

Stylin’ Up General Info
One of Stylin UP's key outcomes has been the fostering of a mutual respect between the South West Brisbane corridor Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community and the Brisbane City Council. The collaboration has been declared a rare success, because of its long term commitment to the community and reconciliation.

Kelvin Lui (Project Officer from Inala elders and Community member) explains, “Such collaboration between Indigenous community and government is rare. Stylin UP has worked because it wasn't a one off, it has been a commitment to the long term and ultimately - a positive step towards reconciliation and connecting young people to peace and long term resolution.”

Stylin' UP breaks down the barriers between community and police and community and government and encourage s young indigenous people to step up and grab opportunities and engage themselves in them. Music


Though not exclusively a music festival, Stylin’Up combines some of Australia’s finest Indigenous Hip Hop and R&B acts alongside a host of local and national emerging acts, providing Indigenous youth throughout the Inala district and greater Queensland, the power and support to express themselves artistically on a national level.

Over the last ten years headliners have included Jessica Mauboy, Christine Anu, Savage, Last Kinection and many many more. This is combined with the aforementioned 'emerging artist' line up, many of whom have gone on to become headliners in their own right. Examples include locals Indigenous Intrudaz - 2 local Inala MC's with a massive local following who have grown up alongside Stylin' UP playing every gig in its 10 year history."Stylin’ Up is basically like Christmas for us in Inala" laughs Indigenous Intrudaz MC Damien Bani. Indigenous Intrudaz won the won JB Seed Grant in 2008 and have just finished recording an album at the prestigious 301 Studios. Damien Bani also works as a producer on Stylin’ UP, one of his tasks is implementing the ‘emerging artist’ line up. Fellow Intruder MC Dougie Patrick also facilitates local Stylin’ Up workshops.

Other examples are fellow locals Banawurun, who took out the 2006 Deadly Award for Band of the Year and Impossible Odds - emerging artists in 2007, Impossible Odds have since gone onto have a number of tracks receive high rotation on triple J.


The Inala Community through the Stylin'Up Community Crew decide who performs at Stylin' Up each year. Their mantra in 2010 has been to support the local Inala and Queensland talent to shine for The 10th year anniversary Stylin' Up. The program this year see’s many key performers from previous years asked to return celebrate and showcase their success.

Workshop’s run for four to 6 months leading up to the festival in Brisbane and the South West Brisbane corridor, and year round throughout key regional Queensland Indigenous communities, including Logan, Cherbourg, Hopevale and Woorabinda.

The workshop process is an integral part of Stylin' Up. Amongst many other things, it provides young people with routine through rehearsals and places an emphasis upon the importance of process and skill development. Nurturing and empowering the next generation.

Music and Dance: Workshops in Music creation, beat production, lyric writing, streetfunk, breakdance and performance technique.Ladeez Business: A program of arts, cultural and skills development workshops, specifically for young women.

Tame Impala | May Tour

TAME IMPALA
INNERSPEAKER

DEBUT ALBUM OUT MAY 21 & NATIONAL TOUR

Modular announces that West Coast sonic wanderers Tame Impala will unveil their debut album InnerSpeaker on May 21, and are taking to the road in May for a National Tour.

It will be the first time much of the record is played live to an unsuspecting public and will showcase the gloriously dazzling results of one of planet earth’s most exciting bands absolutely going to town on their debut long player.

Following on from their debut, self-titled EP, InnerSpeaker is Tame Impala's chance to paint a far more extensive picture than before, and sure enough it redrafts the entire Tame Impala world as we knew it, into an explosive cosmic wonderland of ecstatic harmony and perfectly accessible journeys into inner space.

Recorded and produced by the band's own Kevin Parker with Death In Vegas’s Tim Holmes on the engineer duties, in an enormous mansion with 180 degree views of the Indian Ocean in the middle of buttfuck nowhere a few hours south of Perth, InnerSpeaker is ensconced with a kind of inspired vastness not dislike the place it was made.

It was then mixed in a completely different kind of nowhere, a log cabin surrounded by snow and deer in upstate New York, by renowned sonic maverick Dave Fridmann (MGMT / Flaming Lips).

Click HERE for your first glimpse inside the debut album, where magic and music abounds. with plenty more where that came from.

The resultant record will first be revealed with the single, Solitude Is Bliss, a joyous summertime romp through fields of honeyed harmony and crispy good times and is just the very tip of the amorphous cosmos that is InnerSpeaker.

InnerSpeaker is available for pre-order now from the Modular Shop (for local & international orders) and from Get Music in digital & physical formats (for Australians only).

Or as a special offer to live show fans, you will have an opportunity to pre-order the album with tickets purchased to the May National Tour.

BATRIDER are back!

March 28th 2010 07:50
Batrider are back in Australia following 2 years of gigs, new friends, wild times and happy accidents in foreign lands. After splitting time between London sublets and European adventures, and losing their USA touring virginity the equivalent of behind a bush at a party when you’re 16, Batrider have now decided to settle in... Adelaide. YES ADELAIDE! And with barely enough time to wash the lint-of-a-thousand-couches from their tired bodies, Batrider are hitting the road again embarking on their first Australian tour in years.

The Batrider Beaks Tour takes the band’s fourth release Why We Cant Be Together (2009) around their adopted home of Australia, and also sees the release of a limited run of live recordings made while in the USA.

The new live record reflects the band’s current 3-piece incarnation and is the most direct, dynamic, melodic, and unique to date. Those familiar with Batrider’s sound will find its most compelling qualities more than intact, with the guitar and vocals of Sarah Mary Chadwick marking themselves as more clamourous and emotive than ever, with Steph Crase (Birth Glow, No Through Road) on drums and summery melancholic harmonies, and Sam Featherstone holding the whole mess together on bass.

Nonetheless, it wouldn’t really be fair to let you assume that Batrider aren’t still really really loud, and quite possibly one of the most viscerally confronting bands you’ll ever experience live. Would it?

2010 is another big year for Batrider with a new release to add to their now extensive back catalogue, reconnecting with both Australian and New Zealand watering holes, not to
mention enjoying the plethora of exciting tourist locations Adelaide has to offer. Wink.

ART vs SCIENCE go GOLD

February 18th 2010 08:10
Fresh from loping in at #2 and #74 on triple j's Hottest 100, Sydney's ART vs SCIENCE have recently achieved Gold status in the ARIA Charts for their the eponymous debut EP (out through Green/MGM). The Hottest 100 result also effected the re-entry of the EP into the Top 5 on iTunes and back into the ARIA Top 40. It is currently sitting at no. 1 on the physical singles chart.

Falls Lorne 2009


Released last May, the independently-released 5-track EP contains radio favourites Parlez-Vous Francais?, Hollywood, Flippers and Friend in the Field. Its performance in the charts was no doubt augmented by the three piece's scene-stealing live show, which has seen the band play at countless festivals and sold-out gigs around the country over the past 12 months.


ART vs SCIENCE have again teamed up with producer/engineer Berkfinger and are currently in the studio writing and recording their anticipated debut long-player. The album - to be released independently through Green/MGM, with label services assistance from Parallel Management - is due out in June 2010. Keep an ear out for the first single in April.

The Slew

February 3rd 2010 14:31
In one of the most exciting collaborations to grace the stage in years, Canadian turntable masters Kid Koala and Dynomite D team up with former Wolfmother crew Chris Ross and Myles Heskett to create a psych/heavy-rock-drenched project The Slew.

The Slew’s album ‘100%’ is out now through Ninja Tune/Inertia.

Kid Koala proudly presents The Slew Live featuring a hefty six turntables with Chris and Myles from Wolfmother on bass and drums. Hitting up major capital cities across Australia in May, it’s rock turntablism like you’ve never seen it before.

Four and a half years ago, Eric San (aka Kid Koala) and Dylan J. Frombach (aka Dynomite D) started working on a rock record. The pair, who met on the Beastie Boys tour in 1998, had been approached to soundtrack a documentary feature film. The film was eventually abandoned, but with Mario Caldato (longtime producer for Beastie Boys) on board for mixing, San and Frombach were already deep into the psych rock-influenced score and there was no turning back.

Teaming up with Chris Ross and Myles Heskett – the former rhythm section of Grammy Award-winning band Wolfmother – The Slew set out to put together a full-blown rock band experience to do justice to the material in a live setting. And justice was served: The truly excessive six turntables, drum, bass, keyboard and wall of amps that made their way across North America this October made for a full-on raw, pummeling rock experience. The Slew bring attitude back to the turntable unlike anything you’ve ever heard.

The Spanish Film Festival

February 2nd 2010 04:24
Sydney: 5 - 16 May Melbourne: 12 - 23 May Brisbane: 20 - 30 May Adelaide: 13 – 16 May Canberra: 6 - 16 May

Honoured by the Spanish Government in 2009 as the most important Spanish cultural event in Australia, The Spanish Film Festival is back for its 13th year with a programme that will show you why! Over 50 films of the best in contemporary Spanish language films from Spain and Latin America will be winging their way to Australia to work their Spanish storytelling magic for a wide variety of audiences in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Brisbane and Adelaide in May 2010 in the form of features, shorts and documentaries.



In 2010 the Spanish Film Festival builds on the diverse program of screenings and events that has become its strong trademark.

The programme includes:

All About Women. A programming first for any Spanish Film Festival, the special All About Women section will screen a selection of films directed by Spanish and Latin American women who have had a significant impact on Spanish cinema AND will look at the various and diverse portrayals of women in Spanish cinema from the 50’s to the present, expanding upon the iconic image of the strong, determined, sexy Spanish woman.

Contemporary Spanish cinema. Selection of the best current Spanish cinema. A highlight of this section will be THE DANCER AND THE THIEF (El Baile de la Victoria), Spain’s entry to the 2010 Academy Awards and nominated for 10 Goya (Spanish Academy) Awards, this is the new film from Fernado Trueba Academy Award Winner Best Foreign Language Film for BELLE EPOQUE; based on the celebrated novel by Antonio Skármeta, writer of IL POSTINO.

Tribute to Colombia. Each year the festival pays tribute to a Latino America country in order to celebrate the culture diversity and richness among the Spanish speaking countries in the world, presenting the most current films of that country combined with a live music event. This year we look to the land of the snowy Andes Mountains, sunny Caribbean beaches and luscious Amazon rainforest for a cinema programme that is just as rich and varied!

The 13th Spanish Film Festival produced with the support of the Ministries of Culture and Foreign Affairs in Spain, the Spanish Consulate in Sydney and Melbourne, The Spanish Embassy, the Argentinean Government through INCAA (Institute of Cinema and Audiovisual Arts Argentina), Victorian Multicultural Commission, The Embassies and Consulates of Peru, Colombia, Mexico, Uruguay, The Australian National University and many prestigious Spanish and Australian companies.
