CRUISIN' - The Musical
Commencing Friday 26th October 2007 at
the Regal Theatre
This latest
all-Australian musical will hit the stage of
the Regal Theatre in October with a crazy,
but fun, story and a load of catchy and
danceable songs that bring back the sounds
of the fabulous ‘50s.
Starring Glenn
Shorrock and 2006 Australian Idol
Finalist, Chris Murphy, Cruisin’
is a show that has something for everyone
from teenagers to grandparents.
It’s 1959 and
young Italian/Australian Vinnie Russo is a
rock ‘n’ roll god... well, in his dreams at
least! In reality, he’s battling his
traditional Italian father (Shorrock),
chasing a gorgeous Aussie Sheila and trying
to get into the hottest band in town,
Cruisin’ and win the Battle of The Bands run
by Johnny Angel (Murphy).
Come and enjoy
this rock ‘n’ roll musical and find out if
the music is just a passing fad - or is rock
‘n’ roll here to stay?

CROWDED HOUSE
Supreme Court Gardens Sat 17th
Nov 2007 5.00pm
After months of
tantalizing us with news of US and UK dates, an
appearance on Live Earth, and a sold-out
show at Melbourne's Corner Hotel, Neil Finn, Nick
Seymour, Mark Hart and new recruit Matt Sherrod
(of Beck fame) have announced a major arena
headline tour of our shores for October/
November.
With Crowded House's much anticipated new single
‘Don't Stop Now' on the air waves and their album Time On Earth (EMI) due out June 30 in
Australia, fans will have an exciting new
selection of songs to enjoy before the band hits
the stage late this year. Their tour promises new
hits plus the songs that have made Crowded House a
much loved household name.
With a career that spanned more than a decade the
first time around, there is no shortage of back
catalogue for the band to choose from. Songs
‘Don't Dream It's Over', ‘Something So Strong',
‘Better Be Home Soon' and ‘Weather With You' are
just a few of the hits that have become so much
more than just 80s and 90s chart-toppers.
Arguably Crowded House produced songs that are now
fundamental to the cultural landscape of this
nation, a fact that is illustrated by the band's
incredibly broad appeal.

DAFT PUNK AND
FRIENDS IN NEVERNEVERLAND
THE ESPLANADE SUNDAY
16TH DECEMBER 2007
This
is the big one people… We’ve
literally been hanging on the line
for years, with the tantalizing
possibility of those loveable
French robots Daft Punk
bringing their spectacular live
show to Australia. The mystique
that has grown around the group is
really quite incredible: we’ve
salivated over the YouTube clips,
torn our hair out in frustration
over those fruitless rumours and
debated it endlessly on the
forums. Now ITM can confirm the
recent talk is true! Here are the
facts…
Brought to you by Michael
Coppel and
Modular, and supported by
inthemix,
the ‘Never Ever Land’ tour will
see the pyramid spectacular
landing in Australia for four
massive shows this December, with
a world-class roster of supports
to back up the robot rockers. In
addition to the almighty presence
of Daft Punk, we’ll also be
enjoying sets from a number of
acts on the Modular roster.
Indie-electro rockers The
Presets will be playing
one of their last shows before
they disappear to record their
second album, while rising star
Muscles will be
clocking in, as will the
ubiquitous Bang Gang
DJ posse, also warming up the
crowds.
As if that wasn’t enough, we’ll
have a second international guest
in the form of fellow French dance
duo SebastiAn & Kavinsky.
One of the current stable of
French producers on the Ed
Banger label, dominating
dance floors around the world,
they come from a musical heritage
that is inextricably linked to
massive legacy left by Daft Punk,
so their presence on the bill is
appropriate indeed. How’s that for
a massive line-up?
NIGHTCRUISER Group Transport will carry your group to the events from
anywhere. 10 seaters to 58
seaters in Buses or luxurious Coaches

LIONEL RICHIE
An Evening on the Green
Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th December 2007
Sandalford Wines
Lionel
has said he is excited about his return to
Australia and New Zealand. “I’m really
looking forward to this tour. I can’t
believe it was 20 years since I last toured
there! I hope my fans are ready to dance,
because if I have my way they’re not going
to sit down once the show starts.”
With close to 100 million albums sold, a
phenomenal 22 Top 10 hits, five Grammy
Awards, an Oscar and a Golden Globe, there
are few artists in the world who can rival
the success of LIONEL RICHIE.
Indisputably much of Lionel’s ongoing
career success can be accredited to his
considerable talents as a live performer. On
recent UK and USA tours, concerts have
continuously sold out & heralded to great
acclaim. His undimisihed voice and ability
to have the audience have up on their feet
all the way through speaks volumes, a true
legend & consumate professional. Get ready
to revist all the old hits you know and love
and be introduced to some new ones at
LIONEL RICHIE'S one & only Perth
performance at Sandalford Wines.

BIG DAY OUT 2008
Sunday 3rd February 2008 Claremont Show
Grounds
They are extremely proud of the quality and
diversity of the talent in the first
announcement and honoured to be welcoming
home two of the most dynamic and passionate
acts that have ever performed on the Big Day
Out.
Of course they are talking about Rage
Against The Machine (BDO 1996) and Bjork (BDO
1994). But don't think it's a two horse
race, these shows are gearing up to be the
most ambitious series of festivals in the
event's 16 year history.
Where will
the re-united RAGE AGAINST THE
MACHINE play their first shows
outside of America? At BIG DAY OUT 2008,
that's where. Eleven long years since BIG
DAY OUTers last pointed their middle fingers
heavenwards and declared: "F--- you, I won't
do what you tell me!", California's RAGE
AGAINST THE MACHINE return to take the power
back. Killing in the Name, Guerrilla Radio,
Bulls on Parade, Know Your Enemy... Songs of
rare power from a once-in-a-generation band.
Witness the power and the re-ignited passion
of RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE at BIG DAY OUT
this summer (ALL SHOWS).
In 1994 she
brought her big time sensuality to BIG DAY
OUT. Countless incarnations later,
BJÖRK returns for BIG DAY OUT 2008.
Backed by big beats and an even bigger brass
section, the singular Icelandic superstar
will electrify as she brings to life songs
from her new album, Volta, and reanimates
fan favourites from Army of Me to All is
Full of Love. Always shape-shifting, always
avant-garde, there is no one on earth like
BJORK. And there is no experience on earth
like BJÖRK at the BIG DAY OUT (ALL SHOWS).
Purveyors
of hearty Australian rock'n'roll,
GRINSPOON, make their triumphant
return to the BIG DAY OUT in 2008. After
cooling their heels for a while after the
release of Kills, Thrills and Sunday Pills
(2004) these JJJ darlings have hotted them
right back up again with their fifth studio
effort Alibis & Other Lies, which hit the
local charts at number 2 and has been
nominated for ARIA rock album of the year.
GRINSPOON are set to satisfy the seething
masses at the BDO with scintillating swagger
and a raw rock sound that will tattoo your
eardrums! (ALL SHOWS).
ARCADE FIRE
began 2006 in a church in a small town
outside of Montreal, recording their second
album Neon Bible. They'll begin 2008 with
another religious experience - converting
the BIG DAY OUT faithful during their first
ever tour Down Under. The experimental
Canadian indie septet, who floored critics
with their 2004 debut Funeral, then invaded
charts worldwide with Neon Bible, are a band
on the cusp - BIG DAY OUT punters will be
lucky enough to witness ARCADE FIRE make
that mythical journey from acclaimed indie
group to genuine rock force. Praise be (ALL
SHOWS).
BIG DAY OUT
is proud to welcome back the best loved
Aussie hip hop pioneers, the HILLTOP
HOODS. Things couldn't be better
for this Adelaide crew who have taken it to
the world. For now, life is all
Number-1-chart-debuts, tons of Awards,
sell-out live shows and the joy of putting
Australian hip hop on the agenda of music
fans everywhere. Having built their
following with killer albums The Calling
(2004) and The Hard Road (2006), the HILLTOP
HOODS hit a homer with the tracks "The
Nosebleed Section" and "The Hard Road". In
2007 they released an impressive strings
album reworking their hits with the Adelaide
Symphony Orchestra for The Hard Road:
Restrung. These festival kings of real hip
hop are not to be missed so c'mon down to
the front row and feel the love (ALL SHOWS).
In 1996,
BILLY BRAGG sang for the
first generation of BIG DAY OUT goers. In
2008, he'll sing for a whole new generation
of BIG DAY OUTers - and probably a few who
were there last millennium, too. The Bard of
Barking will turn 50 before he reaches our
shores this summer - but the fire burns more
brightly than ever. Moving an audience and
improving the world (his latest initiative,
Jail Guitar Doors, brings music and meaning
to inmates) remain his top priorities. The
man who sang of a New England has a new
lease on life. Be re-inspired by BILLY BRAGG
at BIG DAY OUT 2008 (ALL SHOWS).
In 2008
we're very excited to welcome Australia's
favourite bard of the musical ballad,
PAUL KELLY, who will be
making his very first BIG DAY OUT
appearance. Truly an Australian icon and one
of this country's most important songwriters
PAUL KELLY has created a rich collection of
classic songs spanning 25 albums. Throughout
various incarnations and collaborations as
well as composing music for films (Lantana
and Jindabyne) Paul Kelly has remained
relevant and inspired, with recent releases
Ways and Means (2004), Foggy Highway (2005),
and his new LP Stolen Apples all testament
to his ongoing success. With a seemingly
depthless talent for song-writing PAUL KELLY
captures wry observations about love, life
and everything in between with a unique
charisma, emotion, simplicity and wit.
Whether or not God tells you to, it's
definitely a good idea to check out PAUL
KELLY at the BDO this summer (ALL SHOWS).
BIG DAY OUT
2008 is hyped to welcome a band not much at
the cutting edge as they are wielding the
scissors that cut the damn thing in the
first place. When not creating acclaimed
albums as one half of production team DFA,
James Murphy leads LCD SOUNDSYSTEM,
the electro-disco-punk-funk-noise-pop
sensation behind Losing My Edge, Daft Punk
is Playing at My House and North American
Scum. Two years ago, BIG DAY OUT got moving
to the LCD DJ experience. In 2008, we get
the full LCD band: guitarist Al Doyle (of
Hot Chip), bassist Phil Skarich, keyboardist
Nancy Whang and drummer Pat Mahoney. Their
show, in a word: "bloodthirsty". Bring it on
- LCD SOUNDSYSTEM is playing at our house!
(ALL SHOWS).
Returning
to the BIG DAY OUT in 2008 is the enchanting
and versatile SARAH BLASKO.
Known for her intelligent pop music,
Blasko's compositions venture toward grand
melodies and inspiring, soaring pop
arrangements. Gorgeously accomplished, her
debut album, The Overture & the Underscore,
shot her into the public consciousness
sparking critical acclaim and a string of
ARIA nominations. Her follow-up What the Sea
Wants, the Sea Shall Have has been equally
praised for its complex simplicity. Sure to
thrill BIG DAY OUT fans, her live
interpretations of her music flaunt more
seductive edges, and showcase her dynamic
vocals which are delivered with a
captivating rawness and energy. (ALL
AUSTRALIAN SHOWS)
Enter the
twilight zone at the BIG DAY OUT with
FAKER. After the whirlwind
success of their single "Hurricane" and
their debut album Addicted Romantic (2005)
FAKER has recently accomplished the feat of
producing their sophomore album, Be The
Twilight. If the first single "This Heart
Attack" is anything to go by, we can look
forward to an album of heartfelt, powerful
passion-filled pop with a twinge of
melancholy. And their stage show is nothing
to be sneezed at either, unless you're
allergic to an enthralling live performance
filled with wild stage antics and infectious
bravado! (ALL AUSTRALIAN SHOWS)
Makers of
mischievous music, the MIDNIGHT
JUGGERNAUTS will be rocking the
casbah this BIG DAY OUT. These Melbournians
sent ripples across the music world with
their first two EPs Raised By Wolves and
Secrets of the Universe, the latter spending
numerous weeks atop the Australian
Independent charts. 2007 heralds their
cracking debut LP, Dystopia. Think
time-travel and glittering music in galaxies
far, far away; spiralling synths and
effervescent guitars, a sonic mission
through laser-soaked corridors and
rainbow-lit roller derbies. OR: "Like The
Rapture with John Carpenter on keys, their
pummelling space-disco is the perfect bridge
between Bloc Party's indie elegies and a
synapse-shredding Justice DJ set" is what
NME reckons. You got the hot tip here. Get
busy and dizzy on the dance floor at the BDO
with some heady, progged-out space disco!
(ALL AUSTRALIAN SHOWS)
School
might be out for summer, but DIZZEE
RASCAL will be dishing out lessons
at BIG DAY OUT 2008. Only three albums and
21 years old, DIZZEE RASCAL is pulling off
equations way beyond his years - winning the
Mercury Music Prize with his 2003 debut Boy
in Da Corner, and confirming his place as
Britain's premier hip hop striker with
2007's Maths + English. Spitting
razor-sharp, rapid-fire words over an
instinctive blend of hip hop, grime, ragga,
rock, garage and whatever gets him hyped,
DIZZEE is a ferocious performer, an innate
showman. "This ain't no sit-down thing,"
he's been heard to holler from the stage.
Educational and entertaining? They said it
couldn't be done! Take a class with DIZZEE
RASCAL at BIG DAY OUT 2008 (ALL SHOWS).
Rising out
of the booming Central Coast punk scene in
the early naughties, SOMETHING WITH
NUMBERS have grown from a branded "emo
punk" band to a full-blown rock and roll
powerhouse. After wowing fans during their
BDO debut in Sydney in 2007, we're thrilled
to welcome them to the BIG DAY OUT
travelling circus for the first time
nationally. Choosing to focus on their own
music as opposed to other influences and
trends around them, Jake, Lachlan, Tim,
Scott and Dave are truly a band that has
come of age and are heading for big things.
With killer choruses, hooks and kick arse
rock riffs SOMETHING WITH NUMBERS will be
delivering the goods at the BDO this summer!
(ALL AUSTRALIAN SHOWS).
For those
who consider a genre to be a jail cell, BIG
DAY OUT brings you unclassifiable New York
foursome BATTLES. Avant-rock,
angular, experimental, abstract,
avant-garde… often scary words in the hands
of lesser lights; but magic in the hands of
BATTLES’ Ian Williams (Don Caballero),
Tyondai Braxton (all kinds of experimentia),
Dave Konopka (Lynx), and John Stanier (The
Mark Of Cain, Tomahawk). “Your brain might
feel like it’s been completely rewired,”
said The Guardian as they dished out a
five-star review for the band’s debut album,
2006’s Mirrored. Brain-surgeons,
electricians, and those with a taste for the
unexpected are invited to enter the
BATTLES-field at BIG DAY OUT 2008 (ALL
SHOWS).
The New
Zealand invasion continues as BIG DAY OUT
welcomes energetic tear-aways from the near
east, CUT OFF YOUR HANDS.
And they sound a little something like this:
if you took one heavy-duty blender and added
the likes of Gang of Four, The Cure, Death
From Above 1979, Joy Division and Split Enz,
you'd get a pretty good idea of their
thrashy, angular, arty dance rock, that's
complemented by the emotional vocal
gymnastics of lead singer Nick Johnston.
These guys are becoming renowned for
frenzied live shows that have gone down a
treat supporting visiting internationals
including Love Is All, We Are Scientists,
Ratatat and Bloc Party. With EP number two
Blue On Blue released this year they're
winning those indie kids over left, right
and centre. Catchy tunes, hot guitar licks,
hella fun! What more could you ask for? Kick
out the jams with CUT OFF YOUR HANDS at the
BDO! (ALL SHOWS). |

SANTANA
Live Your Light 2008 Tour
Thursday 21st February 2008 - Burswood Dome
One of the
greatest musicians and legendary guitarists
of our generation is set to ignite concert
halls across the country in February/March
2008.
Raised in
Mexico, frontman Carlos Santana
first began his love affair with music at
the tender age of five when he first took up
the violin. Influenced by the musical
stylings of blues legends B.B. King, John
Lee Hooker and T.Bone Walker, he later
turned to the guitar and has been inspiring
audiences worldwide ever since.
Santana’s
musical career has been nothing short of
remarkable with a style that transcends time
and the limits of genre typecasting.
Immediately recognisable, yet unlike any
other, Santana has enjoyed a career that has
spanned over the last four decades morphing
blues, soul, jazz, rock and multi-cultural
genres. |
