Red and Anarchist black metal...now we're talking. Not just BM on the blog though...all sorts of interesting lefty music. Well worth a look. Good to see people are reacting to all the right-wing shit flooding the underground.

Wikileaks are NOT terrorists you cocks!

Cockatoo Island

SOUND TRAVELLERS, CERES SOLUTIONS, AUS CO and others present a series of gigs on Sydney's Cockatoo Island. One of them features THE SCRAPES 20 November to be precise. It's free and stuff and it's well worth checking out!

Enjoy the unique beauty of Sydney harbour from the moment you jump on board the ferry to capture the sights and sounds of Cockatoo Calling. Once on the island you can hear some of the country’s finest musicians perform in an informal outdoor setting with a harbour backdrop. Listen to the mellow sounds, mixed up with some jazz, reggae infused grooves or beats from Bobby Singh, master tabla player or soaring soundscapes that take you on your own personal voyage.

20 November
Kristin Berardi and
James Sherlock
“Kristin is a true musician in every sense of
the word and for that reason I believe she is
one of our finest singers and is destined for
great things.” Katie Noonan (george, elixir).
Kristin is accompanied by award winning
guitarist James Sherlock.

The Scrapes
"hugely enjoyable, highly original AND psychically useful is the music of Australian duo The Scrapes, whose fiery epic guitar and abandoned Mithraic fiddle pieces evoke images of lost Keltic lands inundated by the oceans. Ryan Potter electric guitar & other, Adam Cadell electric violin and other.

27 November
The Vampires
Jazz-reggae band The Vampires are quickly
becoming an icon on the Australian jazz
scene with their unique blend of soulful jazz,
old-school reggae and South American
music. Guest artist Shannon Barnett

13 November
The Java Quartet with
guest artist Bobby
Singh on tabla
“Mostly, though, the Java Quartet inhabits its
own space, unlike that of any other
aggregation, in Australia or anywhere else -
supremely melodic, full of taut, yet limpid,
grooves and packed with soul”.

4 December
Hinterlandt
A dizzying array of musical mastery as multi
instrumentalist Hinterlandt produces rock
riffs, feedback-induced dub parts, ambient
sounds, electronic beats, or melancholy
vocal lines in pop song arrangements.
My Goodness
McGuiness
This is not your average jazz band, while the
group is clearly founded in the jazz tradition,
their eclectic choice of material is a more
honest reflection of today’s cultural coffee
table.

INFLIGHT Gallery and rosalux, Berlin presents:


Sara & André at INFLIGHT


Opening: 6:00pm Friday, October 29, 2010

Exhibition runs: October 30 – November 20


Sara & André is a collective formed by two artists. Their ironic and hybrid work is very much influenced by conceptual art, reflections on the art system, the star system (Paris Hilton, Lady Gaga) and aesthetic partnerships of 'togetherness' (from The Carpenters to Gilbert & George). They are interested in the questioning of authorship and originality. Their work reflects the 'skipping of steps', reaching directly to the stage of recognition, as in the video series "Claim to Fame" where they are followed by a flock of paparazzi.


The exhibition Sara & André at INFLIGHT will comprise of documentation of series produced between 2005 until the present and previously shown on several occasions across Europe. This survey format will present a narrative of the collective’s coherent practice, in its first presentation to Australian audiences.



Sara & André at INFLIGHT is part of INFLIGHT’s International Exchange Program, which aims to establish a network between Tasmanian and European artist run initiatives.



rosalux: This non-for-profit initiative is named after the Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz, an urban interface between two creative districts of Berlin: Mitte and Prenzlauer Berg.

rosalux exhibits works of conceptual and performance artists who have not had the opportunity to present themselves in Berlin so far and projects rarely seen in commercial galleries. It is the primary goal of rosalux to work in a concrete manner, thus questioning the conventions of the art market and also individual artistic practice. It is the aim of the exhibition projects to initiate a process of reflection and an open dialogue with the artists and the public.
