MOON DUO

Across a starlit sky... plummeting through the atmosphere comes the meteorotic embers alight with the scorch of a space rock. MOON DUO's Ripley Johnson (Wooden Shjips) and Sanae Yamada make their debut Australian tour upon the release of new album Mazes at the invite of Newcastle's Sound Summit.

MOON DUO

Formed in San Francisco in 2009 by Wooden Shijps guitarist Ripley Johnson and his partner, Sanae Yamada, Moon Duo’s first two critically acclaimed EPs, Killing Time (2009) and Escape (2010), fused the futuristic pylon hum and transistor reverb of Suicide or Silver Apples with the heat-haze fuzz of American rock ‘n’ roll to create tracks of blistering, 12-cylinder space rock. Now their debut album Mazes, recorded in San Francisco and mixed in Berlin during 2010 as the band prepared to move to the mountains of Colorado, explores a far broader, lighter, sound.


That’s most clear on the dreamy organ and skipping riff of the title track, which recalls the Velvet Underground, or the handclaps and swinging organ bloops over the potent shredding and guttural riff delivered by Johnson in When You Cut: “He is an incredible guitar player,” enthuses Yamada, “He is one of those musicians who has the ability to elicit a guttural, corporeal response in the listener.” Throughout, Mazes is the sound of Moon Duo carving out their own identity, looking to the horizon, and moving forward.

Ripley says that, as a guitarist and songwriter, delineating between Moon Duo and Wooden Shijps “happens naturally. I focus on one project at a time, and the way the two bands operate is very different. And there are certain limitations that Moon Duo is forced to accept, not having a drummer for example, and I really like that. I like the creative challenge of working with limitations. Having done so much home recording cultivates that. Working with one other person is much different from working with four.”

“We wanted to do something in a more ‘rock 'n' roll band’ style, something a bit fuller than our previous recordings.” In terms of recording this meant that Moon Duo “used more tracks on this record, in order to get a denser, layered sound to make this our ‘rock band’ record. I grew up a huge Stones fan, so I've always liked that dense sound, with multiple guitar tracks, percussion, piano, organ - anything you can squeeze into the mix.”

This meant a vastly different recording process to Moon Duo’s first two EPs, which were recorded fast and at home. Mazes was a more drawn-out process, involving proper recording studios for the first time including the trip to Berlin to mix and re-record certain parts and the track ‘Run Around’. “The working title was Die Blumen [the flowers], so going into the mix sessions we kind of felt like it was becoming our ‘Berlin record’, but in the end it retained the stamp of San Francisco and we liked Mazes title better anyway.” And ultimately, Mazes is a definably American record, recorded against the backdrop of the Johnson and Yamada’s move from the Californian coast to the heights of Colorado. “I think a lot of our music has something to do with the mythology of the road,” muses Moon Duo’s Sanae Yamada. And if Mazes is a quest, a journey through American landscape and music, Johnson concludes that its key is “finding one's place in the world; moving forward, and the different paths one takes moving through life, trying to reach various goals, literally moving; love; pain; change. Or just getting by, and making sense of things”.

August 10th 2011 07:10
Architecture in Helsinki
Launch ‘ESCAPEE’ REMIX COMPETITION

and ANNOUNCE SUPPORTS FOR NATIONAL TOUR

NEW SINGLE ‘ESCAPEE’ REMIX BUNDLE OUT FRIDAY ON ITUNES



It’s been a big couple of weeks for Architecture in Helsinki. They arrived home from a two-month tour abroad taking in North America, UK & Europe right before touching down to play a transcendent homecoming set at this year’s Splendour in the Grass Festival at Woodfordia, QLD. Drawing an immense crowd that overflowed the Mix Up tent way past capacity, the show was one of the band’s favourite live experiences of all time.



To top it all off they were thrilled to have their new album Moment Bends named as one of the first nomination for triple j’s prestigious ‘J Award’, marking their album as one of the very best Australian records of 2011.

NEW SINGLE ‘ESCAPEE’ REMIX BUNDLE OUT FRIDAY ON ITUNES

With Moment Bends on the cusp of top 40 on the ARIA Album Chart, this week will see the digital release of their new single Escapee including a killer remix from Swedish heartthrobs Lo Fi Fnk and acoustic versions of Contact High & Escapee.



To celebrate its release, the band has decided to share the parts of their new single Escapee and throw their first ever remix competition. To get involved just simply follow the instructions on the website from here:



HOW TO ENTER THE ESCAPEE REMIX COMPETITION

The chosen winner will receive Moment Bends LP on vinyl, Contact High 7", tees, sweater, a double pass to a show anywhere in the world and Modular will include your remix on a special newsletter mailout to a select international group of bloggers and dj’s. Get cracking as the contest ends in a month’s time on September 9.



In other Architecture In Helsinki news, the band set off later this month on a National lap of the map and are more than chuffed to announce a host of very special guests for the tour including New Zealand’s frantic romantics Cut Off Your Hands, gorgeous skewed pop sweethearts Oscar Martin and a host of other Australian favourites coming along for the ride in various cities including Geoffrey O’Connor, Mitzi, Scenic, Felicity Groom and more.

‘BACK TO BASICS’

vol 1

"As I prepare to release my third album Deep Impressions, I put together this mix to share some of the music that had made an impression on me over my 20 years of collecting. I have drawn extensively from this resource in the creating of my own music, as have many that have gone before me. This is a collection of tunes that have been used in the creative process to make what we know as hip hop. Many of the songs are themselves classics that have a beautiful and still poignant message and vibe. Others contain fleeting moments of beauty that have been captured and reinterpreted to make modern day classics.

Apart form a few sneaky edits (to highlight the moments used by some of the best producers to have turned on a sampler) the tunes are as they appear on the original wax.

This series is dedicated to one of my music inspirations and heroes The Left Rev Eugene McDaniel's who passed away 29th July 2011. If your reading this and don’t know who the great man was, do yourself a favour and get familiar! This is Part 1.... more in the series to follow so stay tuned."

Peace,

OFFICIAL RUGBY WORLD CUP 2011 ALBUM

August 10th 2011 02:00
New Zealand singing sensation HAYLEY WESTENRA launches

THE OFFICIAL RUGBY WORLD CUP 2011 ALBUM

‘World In Union’
Rugby Union
The world's biggest-selling soprano, Hayley Westenra, launches The Rugby World Cup 2011 Official Album, entitled World In Union, to be released on Decca (a Division of Universal Music Operations Limited) in September.



The new Rugby World Cup 2011 album opens and closes with the title track ‘World In Union’ (based on Jupiter from Holst’s Planets Suite) – which has, over the years, been adopted as the global anthem for all Rugby World Cups. This rousing theme has become the only enduring official song for a major international sports event that is recorded anew for each Tournament, this year’s choice being the hosting nation’s own Hayley Westenra. This coincides with Hayley celebrating 10 years in the music industry.



The 24-year-old singer follows in the footsteps of another of the country’s most celebrated singers, fellow New Zealander Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, who topped the charts with her version for Rugby World Cup 1991.



Hayley has not only recorded the song in English and Maori, as heard on this album, but also in Italian, French and Japanese – each version is expected to be heard played in the relevant countries.



The album continues with 20 more stirring tracks from around the globe, featuring some of the world’s most successful singers, that will both unite and inspire.



Representing ENGLAND is “the Nation’s Favourite Tenor” Alfie Boe with The Band of the Coldstream Guards performing the rousing Jerusalem, and rising star Laura Wright with her tender, acoustic version of Swing Low, a great rugby anthem that is also contrastingly performed by Russell Watson. For SCOTLAND the song Now’s The Time, based on the tune of Loch Lomond, is here sung by Scottish Tenor Luigi Corvi. The traditional Flower of Scotland is also featured, performed by The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards. From WALES we have none other than The Fron Male Voice Choir with Land Of My Fathers, as well as music from Bryn Terfel and Katherine Jenkins. And IRELAND brings its official song Ireland’s Call featuring Brian Kennedy representing the North and Paul Byrom the South, and introduces new Irish songstress, Mairead, with her rendition of The Fields Of Athenry.



Also included is a recording from International superstar violinist André Rieu from HOLLAND, with singer Mirusia Louwerse from AUSTRALIA. From AFRICA comes The Kenyan Boys’ Choir, and Roberto Alagna represents FRANCE with his version of the French National Anthem.



Rugby World Cup 2011 will be the largest sporting event ever to be held in New Zealand, with over 85,000 visitors expected to flock from overseas – but wherever you are in the world, this album will provide the perfect soundtrack.



About Rugby World Cup 2011:

Rugby World Cup is the crown jewel of the sport and a prominent global property – with television coverage of Rugby World Cup 2007 spanning more than 200 territories, reaching a cumulative audience of 4 billion viewers. Rugby World Cup 2011 is being held in New Zealand for the first time since the inaugural event in 1987. Teams representing 20 nations will compete in 48 matches across 12 Host Cities between 9 September and 23 October 2011.

Ru CL

NEW ALBUM

BRIMSTONE & FIRE

It's got horns coming out the ying yang, a bass line that commands respect and, without a shadow of a doubt, some of the tightest rhymes I’ve heard in a while
Beat100


Ru CL is the catalyst in the peak of Australia’s reggae, dancehall and hip-hop world
The AU Review

Ru CL will release his eagerly anticipated sophomore album Brimstone & Fire next Tuesday 12 August 2011 via Invada Records / Remote Control.

Hailing from Melbourne with Jamaican / Australian heritage, Ru CL (aka Rueben Campbell) is one of the most exciting artists to emerge from Australia's thriving hip-hop scene.

Brimstone & Fire is a skilled, exciting, unique and lyrically clever hip-hop album, featuring top quality production from Lance Wilson, Katalyst, Adventure Starters (Katalyst, Peakhour and Sandro), Lance Wilson, 7stu7 and upcoming Perth producer Luke Pierre.

The album has a classic hip-hop sound, with a similarity in vocal delivery to the likes of Nas and Mos Def. Brimstone and Fire further demonstrates that Ru CL is able to effortlessly cross between many genres, be it hip hop, reggae, dancehall, sing jay, soul or R&B.

Over the years Ru CL has built a reputation within the hip hop community making his presence felt in the underground scene. His experiences are wide and varied, with projects such as Guerrilla Style Tactics (his self-funded EP), the Dancehall Heavy mix tape, and ‘It’s Attractive’ (the theme track for Puma Clyde fashion series), to live performances at festivals such as the Jakarta Jazz Festival, Dreaming Festival, Big Day Out, Good Vibes, Groovin The Moo, Days Like This, Golden Plains, Homebake, Vibes on a Summers Day, Splendour In The Grass, Falls Festival, Reggae Town and Kowanyama Baby Festival. In addition, Ru CL was the official MC at the Raggamuffin Festival 2010.

QUEEN: FINAL FIVE ALBUMS RE-ISSUED ON SEPTEMBER 2

July 25th 2011 23:29
Global event September 5

Freddie For A Day celebrations on September 5 to commemorate Freddie Mercury's 65th birthday

QUEEN: FINAL FIVE ALBUMS RE-ISSUED ON SEPTEMBER 2
1984-1995: THE SHOW MUST GO ON

Between 1984 and 1995 Queen released their last five studio albums and consolidated their reputation as the biggest, brashest and boldest band in the world. They achieved legendary status as they delivered THE defining performance of the century at Live Aid as well as headlining massive stadium concerts all over the world. Queen also released some of their best loved and most anthemic work in this period, before and after the passing of Freddie Mercury in 1991.

Now in 2011 Island Records reissue the five Queen albums from this period on September 2nd (to coincide with what would have been Freddie Mercury’s 65th birthday – on 5th Sept) as part of the band’s 40th Anniversary celebrations – ‘The Works’, ‘A Kind Of Magic’, ‘The Miracle’, ‘Innuendo’ and ‘Made In Heaven’. The reissues will be accompanied by the third in the ‘Queen: Deep Cuts’ series, which looks at some of the lesser known tracks from these albums.

Many Queen favourites were released during this period including ‘Radio Gaga’ (the track from which Lady Gaga took her name), ‘I Want To Break Free’ (complete with the infamous cross-dressing Coronation Street parody video that MTV banned in the US), ‘One Vision’, ‘A Kind of Magic’, ‘I Want It All’, ‘The Miracle’ and ‘These Are The Days of Our Lives’ (featuring Freddie’s final haunting video appearance).

These five albums cover the era when Queen were elevated to truly legendary status as they stole the show at Live Aid in front of a global TV audience of 1.9 billion people, and wowed audiences with subsequent headline shows at Knebworth and Wembley in 1986, the latter recently voted by the public as one of the most iconic events ever seen at the stadium. This was also Queen’s most consistent period of commercial success with each of the five albums going platinum in the UK and ‘A Kind of Magic’ and ‘Made in Heaven’ each selling over 1 million copies, the latter doing so four years after Freddie’s death showing that the Queen legacy reigns eternal.

As well as their huge UK gigs they continued the global domination of the late 70’s playing Rock in Rio twice to crowds of over 300,000 each time. On their subsequent Magic tour they sold over 1 million tickets around the world playing the first ever stadium gig in Eastern Europe at the Nepstadium in Budapest with fans hitchhiking from all over the Eastern Bloc to attend.

After Freddie’s death The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert saw a packed Wembley set alight again to the music of Queen once again in April 1992, with stars from all over the world joining Queen surviving members John Deacon, Brian May and Roger Taylor on stage. Subsequently The Mercury Phoenix Trust was founded to help distribute money raised from this concert for AIDS awareness. Since then, the Trust has raised and distributed over $15 million to help in the fight against AIDS.

The charity has just created a truly unique initiative with the launch of the 'Freddie For A Day' Global Charity Network. Freddie For A Day will be held on September 5th 2011. It’s an annual, worldwide event which falls around Mercury’s birthday date and is a fun way to remember one of the greatest artists of our time. But behind it is the earnest purpose of raising funds to support the continued work in fighting HIV AIDS worldwide.

Those wanting to be involved should dress up as Freddie on September 5 and get their friends, family, school friends or work colleagues to sponsor them – see FreddieForADay.com.au.

Queens 40th Anniversary year has kicked off in spectacular style so far with their first ever major exhibition 'Stormtroopers in Stilettos' in London’s East End which drew an incredible crowd of over 20,000 visitors in two weeks, and kicked off with a star studded launch party attended by the likes of Foo Fighters and Jessie J.

A recent two part BBC TV documentary drew widespread rave reviews as Brian May and Roger Taylor looked back over their first 40 years in detail for the first time. The Guardian described it as ‘fantastic and moving’.

Meanwhile the bands first ten albums have been reissued to considerable acclaim. The Telegraph said of their early work, 'Queen's greatest music was extravagantly innovative, technically brilliant and created with a jeweller's care.’

These last five studio albums highlight the diverse talent, musical ambition and global success of a band made up of some of the best songwriters, musicians and performers of all time.

As ONE DAY surfs up the radio and net waves further new tracks will rise with the coming tide of new album SUPERHAPPYFUNTIMESFRIENDS

Out of the great wide blue the guys have now dropped an album's worth of dynamic material all forthcoming over the next month or so on digital, vinyl, cassette, CD and even Playbutton. Shacked up in their Melbourne dwellings and put together in the midst of a enforced creative blizzard... it seems the concept of the album was not without value still as it afforded the more focused structure and disciplined approach they seem to require. Ahhh... the frenzy of an an artistic tempest whipped up by the wild seas of a deadline - all comes now pieced together under the title SUPERHAPPYFUNTIMEFRIENDS.

REGURGITATOR CRUISE
Also of note... Regurgitator's "UNIT" was not only recently voted #13 on the industry voted Triple J TOP 100 Australian albums... but has now come in at #10 on the public voted campaign... with Tu Plang at #44.


Regurgitator's live soundtrack performance of Akira at the Sydney Opera House Graphic event last year has been nominated for two Helpmann awards - Best Australian Contemporary Concert and Best Original Score.

Sir Anthony Hopkins



On July 3, violinist Andre Rieu received the Grand Gold Decoration for Services to the Republic of Austria. Awarded by Marianna Klicka, president of the District of Vienna, Rieu received the decoration because of his efforts to promote Viennese music around the world.

Along with his Johann Strauss Orchestra, Rieu then performed the world premiere of And The Waltz Goes On, penned by film legend Sir Anthony Hopkins.

Hopkins came all the way from Los Angeles to attend the premiere. See the performance here.

Hopkins has written music for many years, but the acting star composed his latest piece, And The Waltz Goes On, with Rieu specifically in mind to perform it. Rieu was so enthusiastic about the work that he immediately set plans in motion to record it, reportedly moving Hopkins' wife to happy tears during the initial performance of the tune.



"I've been a great admirer of Andre Rieu for several years. He's a great musician. My wife and I had the same dream of meeting him one day, so I sent him some music that I wrote. It's a dream come true for me that Andre performed it with his orchestra. I'm totally knocked out by the result. It's even more than I expected!" says Anthony Hopkins about his cooperation with Andre Rieu.



The waltz will be on Rieu's new album, slated for release in Australia later this year, and will be performed by Rieu at the concerts in his hometown Maastricht. Again Sir Anthony Hopkins will be present when Andre Rieu and the Johann Strauss Orchestra perform his waltz at the Vrijthof square.
