The music industry can be fickle at times, and while The Darkness may not have the pulling power they once had, it was evident from last night’s performance they are still one of the best live bands of the modern era.
Review
A solid film from Hanks and Spielberg. My only concern (with regards to historical accuracy) is that the timeline of events is perhaps made a little compressed to suit the film, or at the very least, not made 100% clear.
Along with her probing, erudite songs, the thing sets Holter apart from her alt-pop contemporaries is the clarity of sound on this record. While other indie darlings sing through that forced, I-couldn’t-give-a-shit accent or bury their voice in pursuit of an ethereal, lush soundscape, Holter’s rich vocals are front and centre, penetrating with precision.
After more than three decades in the music industry Stevens knows how to deliver: he still draws a strong crowd and they leave having had a great time. This is how a good rock’n’roll show should be.
Oculus Magnus is released through Great White Records, with Surviving Sharks launching the album at the Grace Emily Hotel this Saturday night.
FM radio may be awash with ‘Flame Trees’, ‘Cheap Wine’ and ‘Khe Sanh’ but, as great as those established numbers are, listeners deserve hear the material on The Perfect Crime: the songs stack up very well against the older material, but have the advantage of freshness and variety.
Australian Mia Wasikowska delivers perhaps the weakest performance, and one feels like she didn’t quite capture the tone that the film required, which wasn’t helped by a lack of chemistry between her and Hiddleston.
This film was outstanding. It has multiple Oscars awaiting it – which ones, I’m not sure
I quite enjoyed last year’s film – yes, another post-apocalyptic piece with the heroes being a bunch of teens, but I really liked the mystery involved in this premise.
So, I went to Hoyts Cinemas at Tea Tree Plaza (good thing I already have a Hoyts Members Card!), this time to see the film Everest.
