Doll Domination Tour 2009



The Pussycat Dolls – Doll Domination Tour 2009
With very special guest Lady GaGa

Teasing and tantalizing Australia with brief but dazzling appearances in Sydney and Melbourne last month, global pop superstars Pussycats Dolls will bring their Doll Domination Tour to Australia in May 2009!


Hot on the heels of their second album release Doll Domination (Universal), Pussycat Dolls kick off their 2009 world tour in the UK before heading down under to play all-ages arena shows in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth featuring the same spectacular production that Europe will see in February.

This scorching band of singer/dancers have quickly become without doubt one of the most popular and globally successful girl groups ever.

There has been no escape from the super catchy Platinum hit “When I Grow Up”, the first single lifted from Doll Domination, quickly followed by the top 10 hit “I Hate This Part”.

Showing their brand of hot, confident attitude, Pussycat Dolls shot to fame in 2005 with the release of their massive debut single “Don’t Cha” featuring Busta Rhymes, hitting number 1 in charts around the world.

Released the same year, their debut album PCD has sales of over 7 million worldwide, claiming Platinum and Gold status in 36 countries. PCD features the huge hits “Buttons”, the Grammy nominated “Stickwitu”, “Beep”, and “Wait A Minute”, helping to bring the album’s Australian sales to 3 times Platinum.


Joining the bill is Lady GaGa. Performing intimate, exclusive club shows in Melbourne and Sydney last September, singer, songwriter, musician Lady GaGa thrilled fans lucky enough to attend! Showcasing her Top 10 album The Fame, the debut release now boasts two infectious Number 1 singles – “Just Dance”, and “Poker Face” which is currently residing at the top of the ARIA Singles Chart.

Don’t miss Pussycat Dolls - Nicole, Ashley, Jessica, Melody, and Kimberly – and Lady GaGa live:

José González | Tour February 2009

November 24th 2008 06:10
José González
Australian Tour February 2009


In a live setting José and his band are nothing short of mesmerizing, and they return to Australia in February 2009 for a run of intimate theatre and small venue shows.

José González



The music of José González is hardly reminiscent of fireworks and confetti, but that is exactly how his last two albums have been received all over the world. His low-voiced, serious and introverted music has been hugged to death by everyone from the indie crowd to grizzled old folk fans, resulting in gold record sales, festival appearances and several sold out tours in Australia.

In his teens José learned to play classical guitar, but it was some time later whilst serving a tenure in a couple of hardcore bands that he began to produce his own amazing spin on introspective acoustic music. This range of expression, or perhaps better explained as this contradiction in expression, says a lot about José as a person, and about his music. On the one hand it's very accessible, beautiful and speaks easily, and on the other it has a darkness and seriousness that often borders on what might be considered unhealthy.

HIGH SCHOOL MUSCIAL

October 23rd 2008 08:28
Four new preview performances just released for



Disney’s HIGH SCHOOL MUSCIAL Live on Stage!



Previews from Sunday 14th December

Gala opening 18th December

Capitol Theatre Sydney.



Sydney preview performances for Disney’s HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL - Live On Stage! went on sale this week with A - reserve tickets from only $39.90. Previews commence on Sunday December 14 ahead of the Gala Opening on Thursday December 18.

As the show opens just as the school holidays begin - extra mid-week matinee performances have also been added to the schedule each week for the Sydney season.


The 32-strong cast, featuring some of Australia’s hottest young singers, dancers and actors will come together in just two weeks to start rehearsals.

“After an extensive national audition process, we are so thrilled with the Australian cast of High School Musical, who are phenomenally talented and highly energetic performers,” said joint Producers Kevin Jacobsen (Jacobsen Presents) and Tim McFarlane (The Really Useful Company Asia Pacific).

Disney’s HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL – Live on Stage!, is based on the smash-hit Disney Channel Original Movie and has captivated a legion of young fans since it premiered in Chicago in August 2007. Featuring all the characters and chart-topping songs from the movie, this spectacular stage musical expands on the original work and includes two new numbers and a huge mega-mix finale.

The stage musical’s key creative team includes David Simpatico who wrote the book (an adaptation of Peter Barsocchini’s original TV movie script), director Jeff Calhoun (whose credits include the award-winning Broadway revivals of Grease and Big River), choreographer Lisa Stevens and music producer and supervisor Bryan Louiselle.

Cast includes, Chris Durling as Troy Bolton - Captain of the Wildcats basketball team and the coolest guy at East High. Rebecca Tapia as Gabriella Montez - shy but gorgeous Brainiac with the sweetest voice at school. Teagan Wouters as Sharpay Evans - the drama queen! Liam McIlwain as Ryan Evans – the younger (by 6 minutes) brother of Sharpay. Turanga Merito as Chad Danforth -the Wildcat’s hard core No. 2 player. Elenoa Rokobaro as Taylor McKessie - upfront Science Club president. Scott Irwin as Coach Bolton – Troy’s Dad and East High’s basketball coach. Donna Lee as Ms Darbus – East High’s drama teacher and passionate advocate of the performing arts. Caity Fowler as Kelsi Neilson – composer and drama club stalwart. Andrew Hazzard as Zeke Baylor – Wildcat and pastry lover and Phoebe Coupe as Martha Cox – brainiac with a love of hip-hop Nathan Derrick as Jack Scott – The Velvet Fog of East High’s PA system (new character for the musical).

The story of Disney’s HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL – Live on Stage! follows the plight of basketball captain Troy and the brainy but shy Gabriella who discover they have a secret passion for singing. When they decide to audition for the student musical it sends shockwaves through the High School’s rigid social cliques. Troy’s basketball team, Gabriella’s fellow science clubbers, even the drama regulars, do all they can to keep the pair apart and off-stage. When Troy and Gabriella defy their friends and family they inadvertently inspire the other students to go public with their own secret talents and dreams. Disney’s HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL – Live on Stage! is an infectious celebration of both individualism and togetherness, with a story that says you don’t have to change to be accepted, you just have to be yourself.

Daz Chandler - Daniel Kitson

August 25th 2008 05:47

Quite a good deal of out and out fun from hostess with the mostess; I like to call her Dazzle, but really it's Daz Chandler doing her usual wonderful best interviewing a comedian notorious for being difficult to interview.



Notice he (Daniel Kitson) is delightedly streaming out all sorts of insightful insights into himself as a natural chap rather than living up to the oft uber serious reports that suggest he hates being interviewed.

Great work!!



More of Daz Chandler's work can be heard by going to the podcasts at Sydney's 2SER FM, one of the greater sized and resourced community radio stations in New South Wales, Australia.
