Nightmare Remake Gets a Director

Apparently it's Samuel Bayer who directed Nirvana's 'Smell Like Teen Spirit' music video back in 1991 amongst many others since then. I would have approached Chris Cunningham personally. He could make something really fucked up! Via Risky Biz Blog.

Fifty People, One Question

Fifty People, One Question is a unique idea. Set-up a camera at one location, ask fifty people the same question over until you have a million and one responses, edit it down and present something fascinating. The camera work is solid and the music makes it all that …

Victorian Bushfires

The Victorian Bushfires are still raging and although we've been blessed with cooler weather across regional Victoria, there are still a number of fires burning. Living in Bendigo, we were hit with many fires and loss of property (Lyns and I are fine though) so please …

Hooverdust in Top 25 Australian Music Blogs

Way Cool Jnr have posted a 'Top 25 of Australian Music Blogs' and have listed Hooverdust at number 14. Frankly, I'm surprised I'm in there at all considering the talent out there. Sure it's all decided through Google rankings and what not but if you haven't already, …

Miroir Noir - Neon Bible Archives (2009)

I have to admit that I was not overly pumped to see Miroir Noir after the very disappointing A Skin, A Night shot and directed by French-go-to-indie-music-filmmaker Vincent Moon. Typically I love Moon's Takeaway Shows but as a …

Summertime Blues

This week, Victoria is expecting scorching temperatures, averaging 40 degrees everyday until Sunday and the Bureau are calling it "the hottest weather in 90 years". Living inland means it's even hotter. Oscar has had enough already.

Bon Iver @ The Forum

The Wrestler (2008)

So there comes a time in every lucky actor's career when they make reach the pinnacle of their craft. Typically, it is a film that is tailored for the actor completely and director Darren Aronofsky clearly set out with this intention for actor …

30th Invite

I wanted to make a 'band event inspired' A3 poster as an invite for my 30th which is fast approaching. Funny how when you get close to reaching 30, a wave of responsibility starts to flow overhead.

I'm no illustrator so I didn't go the complete custom job but I've …

Frightened Rabbit @ The Northcote Social Club

Well it was our turn to hear those Scottish lads last night and after a string of festival plays, they looked a little weathered. But that didn't dampen their spirits with a great show at the Northcote. As per usual, I'm useless with setlists but they did play …

Fleet Foxes @ The Prince of Wales

Wow! What a great way to start the gigging year. The Seattle favs of 2008 brought their ultra smooth harmonies to a sell-out, enthusiastic crowd at the Prince bandroom last night and it was phenomenal! I'd heard they were great live but I had no idea they would be that …
