In BrIef...The Stone Roses have announced they willembark on a world tour next year, celebratingtheir reformation and release of new materialwith the original line-up of Ian Brown , guitarist

John Squire , bassist Mani and drummer Reni. Noword yet on where the band will be playing apartfrom two shows in their hometown of HeatonPark in Manchester, but Brown said at a pressconference last week, “This is a live resurrectionand you’re invited, so you’d better be there.”Morrissey has grounds to go sue NMEaccordingto reports from The Guardian. Back in 2007, theformer frontman for The Smiths was quoted inan interview as saying, “The gates of Englandare ooded. The country’s been thrown away...I don’t have anything against people fromother countries, [but] the higher the inux intoEngland the more the British identity disappears.”Morrissey threatened legal action soon after said

article went to print, and subsequently donated£28,000 to the charity Love Music, Hate Racism.The singer said that his reputation had beentarnished ever since the interview.Several months ago, Pitchfork reported that therewas looming legal trouble on the horizon forKanye West andJay-Z due to hiccups regardingthe sampling of soul singer Syl Johnson’s‘Different Strokes’ on the Yeezy and Jay-Z track‘The Joy’. Now Billboard is reporting that Johnsonled a lawsuit against the rappers for sampling his

song and releasing it on Watch the Throne. Thisisn’t Johnson’s rst time talking about copyrightissues – he’s previously taken the likes ofMichael Jacksonand Cypress Hill to court overalleged sampling without permission and hashad varying results in terms of settlement.

COUrTNEY haTE Courtney Love has pulled out of Soundwave.A week after the ofcial line-up wasannounced, the Hole singer kicked up afuss after she found out her band would beopening for Limp Bizkit.Soundwave organiser AJ Maddah said that hewould “wait to talk to her dipshit agent” beforeconrming that the ‘90s band had ofciallydropped out of the line-up, but eventuallysaid that the only excuse offered by Love’smanagement was that Hole did not want toshare the stage/open for Fred Durst’s crew.Maddah understandably said that he was“really mad” but added that Soundwave

management was relieved that they “got themoody old cow off the bill”. Love respondedto all of this as many musicians do these daysby taking to twitter to vent her frustration ina public forum, saying that she would love toplay the festival but questioned “what bloodyight of crazed fancy made you think we’dopen for limp dude?”.

aNNOUNCEMENT SPECTaCUlar Late last week saw huge announcements ofbands heading to our shores next year. So inchronological order:UK punk rockers The Damned will play oneshow in Auckland on Wednesday 25 January atthe Powerstation; Californian alt/funk headsIncubus will be playing at Auckland’s VectorArena on Tuesday 31 January and Wellington’sTSB Bank Arena on Wednesday 01 February;following their cancelled show earlier thisyear, The Sisters Of Mercy have announced arescheduled show for Wednesday 22 Februaryat Auckland’s Powerstation; raucous newgarage sensations Black Lips play at Auckland’s

Powerstation for one show only on Tuesday28 February; and nally ex-psych-rocker andcurrent Okerville River collaborator Roky rickson will play one show at Auckland’sPowerstation on Wednesday 07 March.Looks like the beginning of the year will be a busyone for the iconic Eden Terrace venue in Auckland.

i’M SUPEr, ThaNKS FOr aSKiNg What the hell is going on with all of these “superheroes”? Eversince Mark Millar’s comic book Kick-Ass came out followed bythe lm adaptation, real-life people have been asking themselves

why people don’t go out dressed up in costume and ght fortruth and justice the attention-seeking way.One of the most infamous “supes” is Detroit masked-manPhoenix Jones. You may have seen the street-level beat-worker on YouTubespraying pepper spray into the eyes of those he deems as havingdone unjust actions. But life isn’t a comic book and when you attackpeople on the street there are legal repercussions. So what dosuperheroes do? What would the likes of Batman, Spider-Man orWolverine do when faced with legal action?They sure as hell wouldn’t call for a sanctioning body to representthe men behind the masks. And that’s the difference betweenreal life and comic books. The website reallifesuperheroes.org isthrowing around the idea of a representing body/council for thegrowing movement of crime-ghters.Hey, if you want to do some good for the community – go for it.

Help out. If you see someone in trouble, call the cops. Do whatyou can to help in day-to-day life. But don’t go martyring yourselfafter pepper spraying someone. You’re looking for a ght, andthat’s just a dick move.

SmaShIng newSThe Smashing Pumpkins are getting some nostalgic reissues.Gish (1991) and Siamese Dream (1993) are the iconic band’srst two albums, and MI is launching an extensive re-releasecampaign in December across multi formats. The CD, deluxe,vinyl and digital editions are all of course remastered.EMI announced that they will also be issuing a collection of

B-sides from 1991-2000, saying “The pivotal group’s many hitsdened the alternative music era and continue to resonateon modern rock radio, inuencing a whole new generation.”In even further Smashing news, early next year the bandwill be releasing Oceania after their American and Europeantour. Described as “an album within an album”, Oceania is apart of the band’s in-progress 44-song work Teargarden By Kaleidyscope , and will feature 13 new songs.

FilM NEWS An actress who has not been named is suing film website IMDBforrevealing her age and real name. The subsidiary of Amazon.com is

suffering legal action on the basis that the actress’ information wasacquired by unlawful means and has subsequently been damagingto “Jane Doe’s” career in the youth-orientated town of tinsel.A Zombieland sequel has been in the works since the lm wonover audiences and received the critical acclaim it deserved.Now, however, it’s looking like the sequel has developed into atelevision series. This was the original idea behind the projectbefore it was turned into a feature, so we could be looking at anew zombie series for 2012-2013.You may remember the DVD release of Yorgos Lanthimos’Dogtooth earlier this year. The lm won over critics and wascriticised at the same time for its dark and taboo tones. NowLanthimos is returning with Alps , which has been picked up fordistribution in America. There’s no word of the lm reachingour shores yet, but we’re hoping the unique lmmaking style

of Lanthimos impresses audiences enough for Alps to at leastmake it over for next year’s NZ Film Fest.Occupy Wall Street has two notable lm directors thinking.One (unsurprisingly) is Michael Moore , who is inspired to makeanother documentary. The other, much more out of left eld,is Chris Nolan who is considering shooting the occupation aspart of The Dark Knight Rises.

Celebrate the Halloween weekend a little early atThe Basement this Thursday. Ruby Frost, Glass Owls,

Salvi Stone and DJ Andrew Tidball all pay tribute to

everyone’s favourite man in makeup, David Bowie.

A mix of Bowie songs and original material will be

belted out of The Basement where you get a free

cocktail upon entry.

Colin Farrell is dark and brooding. He’s smarmy,dashing and nely chiseled. So it was only a matter

of time before he ended up playing a vampire. This

remake of the horror/comedy original also stars our

favourite McLover Christopher Mintz-Plasse as the

geek-friend of Anton Yelchin, the kid who has to ght

a vampire.

There’s a credit crunch on and everyone is

tightening their purse strings. So much so that

money becomes irrelevant and people start

trading goods and services for time. As in, you’re

born, and you get time, then you work, and you get

time, but you spend, and you lose time. It’s a weird

concept, but kind of interesting.

It’s a bummer being a teenager. Especially when

you’re a British teenager on a television show,

because things always seem so hard. You’re always

awkward with girls and your friends are idiots.

Until you get your movie deal and you’re basically

in an elongated episode, yet the storyline is still

really funny.

Imagine Iron Man meets Tron in high-budget

Bollywood and you’ve got yourself RA. One. This lm

looks like it’s either absolute garbage or a veried

hilarious riot. The trailer sells it when mister RA. One

jumps on a moving/crashing car and a scared lady

touches his face through the broken windscreen.

Veried hilarious riot.

Here’s a fact: City of God is not the only Brazilian

lm that’s really, really good. There are a bunch of

lms coming out of South America that deserve your

attention and there’s no better time (or way) to check

them out than going to the Reel Brazil Film Festival

which kicks off this Thursday and runs through to

next Wednesday.

NO Magazine and Lonely Hearts. The

Drab Doo-Riffs, Mothers of Darkness,

1995, Evil Twins, O’Lovely and Mellow

reigns for this dress-up do.

Finally, Auckland has a cool tunnel.

Not just an overpass, but an actual

tunnel. Some people haven’t been

able to wait and have snuck in at

3am on Saturday morning, but that’s

illegal. Going to check it out on open

day is not.

Starboy Music has put together the

UP FM 2011 club tour, and phase three

features Aural Trash, Greg Churchill,

Angela Fisken, Kyle Bourke, Nick

Collings, Claudiga and Andy Bukshot

on the bill. Plus, every attendee goes

a household name but is worth the

whole household attending. Along

with his Masters of Percussion, the

Grammy-award-winner plays a very

special one-off show this Saturday.

One of our favourite craft markets

hits Auckland for the monthly

Kraftbomb experience. Jewellery,

toys, art, illustrations, postcards and

anything and everything else will be

on display at this veritable cutefest.

The Fetish Ball celebrates the seven

deadly sins this Saturday in the very

appropriate area of K Road. It’s very

Halloween and it’s very, very themed

– but it’s not for the faint of heart. Go

with an open mind and see how the

It’s the rst bout of the Dunedin

Derby. The Gallow Lasses take on

the Otautahi Allstars in the South

Roller derby is growing in popularity

and it’s easy to see why when you’re

guaranteed some whipping action.

Beastwars carry on their last tour of

2011 before recording their second

album. They’ll be taking their limited

edition beer on the road – the

Hallertau Beastwars India Pale Ale,

specially made to celebrate the

band’s performance this year.

Do what zombies do best this

Halloween and just take a little stroll.

Flash mobs can’t be beat, and there’s

no ash mob like a pack of zombies.

Practise your best monotonic “urgh”

before heading to Teazar for the

ofcial Dance of the Dead afterparty.

World class jazz artists take to the

Puhoi Valley Cafe. Those with more

wine tasting while those who are

more into candy and Ben10 can play

JUST OVER TWO years ago, enigmatic hit-making and soul-breaking

magazine NME spun a story about Florence Welch. She was pinned as a

wai, a delinquent, and a wayward soul, decked head-to-toe in owery,

ouncy dresses, bangles and all the rest. Her verbatim addressed

everything but the music or which she

was ast becoming noted or, ocussinginstead on skipping college, wearing

leopard-print platorms, inhaling, and

alling out o trees on Hampstead Heath.

A story on scuzzy, London-based,

Velvet Underground-adoring duo The

Big Pink a ew months later detailed a

house party in Shoreditch – Ms Welch

hersel running up and down stairs to

change LPs whilst members o Klaxons

looked on.

It seems that Welch, in her own way,

was always a fxture.

Fast orward to late 2010 and Flo is

mid-way through her tour to support

her debut album Lungs. She needn’thave though, because as she jet-setted

across Europe on the strength o ‘Dog

Days’, battle plans were being drawn or

her invasion Stateside. Within months

she’d perormed at the VMAs and

the Grammys, on Saturday Night Live

and The Colbert Report . Time magazine

ranked her as a very important person.

Lungs charted in the Top Ten in a lot o

countries. Joan Rivers mocked her on

Fashion Police.

It seems a ar cry rom the early

successes o the rantic ‘Kiss With A

Fist’ and the haunting ‘Girl With One

Eye’, both tracks existing and thriving on the strength o Welch’s voicewhich, thanks to raw and unadulterated production, shone through.

Lungs expanded on that heavily percussive ormat, indie go-to guy Paul

Epworth unlocking any proverbial door he could fnd. His production

turned already soulul songs into skyscraping anthems.

Let’s not orget, though, artists the world over struggle or decades to

get hal o Welch’s success with double the talent, and now that entirely

indistinct voice has become a vehicle or lumpy big-wigs to make some

serious cash.

She proclaims that her upcoming record Ceremonials is “a group o songs

that paint a unifed picture o where I am in my lie right now”.

Strange thing is: she’s never done that beore.

I ‘Girl With One Eye’ was an accurate representation o her lie up

to that point (“I took a knie and cut out her eye/ I took it home and

watched it wither and die”) then surely we should all be increasingly

worried by the means by which she’s achieved her ame to date.

Read any interview with Welch in

support o Ceremonials and you’ll getthe same spool o misrepresentation.

Any journalist worth their salt can

pick up on the endless buzzword-

coaching she’s been given over

the last ew years, and it doesn’t

take much investigating to ind

quotes riddled with pauses as

she desperately tries to explain

her own view on a topic that

isn’t her perceived and enorced

aux-eccentricity. Her biography

proclaims her to be an art college

“dropout” – as i somehow that’s

something to aspire to.

O course, with any major successcomes that enormous portion o

budding hacks dying to make their

big break, and so Welch becomes

merely another tool or their supposed

trade. Various publications discuss

her ADHD, insomnia, anorexia and

dysmetria in depth whilst identiying

her musical career to date with two

slivers o transcript intended to

shoehorn some context in to the mix:

this is Florence Welch, she makes

music occasionally, but she’s mental

most o the time.

Regardless o any internal struggle

(which Epworth seems to smother in reverb, irrespective o thesentiment), Florence Welch still walks the red carpet with the rest o

them; she still parties with Anna Wintour, she still gets ollowed by the

hounding British tabloids and not the credible music press, and she

still stands to make an enormous pile o cash should the ensuing PR

campaign or Ceremonials pay o.

Politics aside, leading single ‘What The Water Gave Me’ is a monster

tune – it rises, crests, and alls beore exploding outwards, and there

certainly will be more to come. So simply remember this: i you can

ignore that plastic ascination and ashing photography in avour o her

impressive canon o work, then you can truly appreciate Florence and

her marvellous machine.

FLY MY PRETTIES have become something o a New Zealand

institution. Formed in 2004, debuting with the brilliant Live At Bats and

ermented over another seven years, the revolving collective o musicians

has morphed and transormed over the duration o each tour, providing

the heady sense o theatre and spectacle that is lacking rom many other

regular touring bands and collectives.This year’s line-up calls upon the core

cast, most o who were present through

the previous three tours, including L.A.

Mitchell, Anna Coddington and Age Pryor,

whilst expanding to accommodate the

wealth o new music emanating rom these

shores. Alongside members o The Nudge,

Cairo Knie Fight, Kora and even Flip Grater

hersel, visual artist Hayley King – under

the guise o Flox – has joined the ranks as

one o the ew non-musical contributors.

But that doesn’t mean her gits to the service

will be any less integral to the overall

presentation o the show.

King’s illustrations seem like a perectft or something as organic as Fly My

Pretties, her works oten incorporating

native birds and bustling natural

surrounds, rom sparser prints to

expansive and intricate murals splashed on

to the walls o public buildings.

As a ormer collaborator with the

excellent street art co-op Cut Collective,

King is used to the intense pressure that

regular deadlines bring.

“For me, I’ve been doing this or so long

now, so I eel I am a confdent artist in my

own right,” she says. “But it’s daunting in

regard to working with some really amazing

musicians which I’ve never done beore, and going on tour with them,which is crazy, crazy stu. I’ve been on tour with Cut Collective – we

used to do group shows together which is a bit like being in a band

because we were always fghting and all the rest, but it’s a dierent kind

o creative feld altogether.”

King was frst approached by ringmasters Barnaby Weir and Mikee

Tucker. “They both came in to my studio one day and basically pinned

me down,” she laughs, “and said they wanted me to be a part o it all.”

She was set to work attacking the enormous scope that a show o Fly My

Pretties’ calibre demands.

“I have to illustrate all 15 tracks whicheach need to work as a poster, so when you

walk in to the gig there’ll be an exhibition

o 15 posters, one or every track, available

in limited edition prints,” says King.

“Also, it has to translate certain elements,

somehow rom that poster or vice versa,

into something that can be brought to lie or

somehow animated, so a lot o the imagery is

going to be used in the backdrop behind the

musicians on stage in various orms, that’s

the new part or me. I’m not doing any o the

animation, but I have to think o the images

in that way and how they can be interesting

or people to look at and how they can

evolve, I guess, and basically how they can be brought to lie.”

Although working in and around a

medium she’s unamiliar with, Flox isn’t

daunted by the responsibility that comes

with marrying visual accompaniment to

musical expression.

“I defnitely eel responsible,” she says. “I

have to come up with something that works

as a 2D illustration and also as some sort o

3D working element, and the artist has to

be happy with it as well and it has to reect

who they are and what the song is about, to a

certain degree, so there’s lots o boxes to tick

i you like.”

As usual, the tour will be flmed in all the major centers o the tourto be released as a live DVD, displaying all o King’s talents in high-

defnition glory. There should be no doubt that she will approach her

duties in Fly My Pretties with anything less than the aplomb we should

expect rom a world-class artist.

IT’S BEEN FIVE years since Midnight Youth began to lay the

oundations or their reshman eort The Brave Don’t Run, and those fve

years have made the dierence. Redmore says their frst was introverted,

but World Comes Calling is a dierent story.

“It’s an extroverted album,” he muses. “We aren’t singing about

ourselves. It’s things we’ve seen.” This new outward view oers listeners

a moodier, more observational Midnight Youth with attitude. “It’s a

defnition o where we’re at. A snapshot o us right now.”

Redmore says the band even toyed with the idea o sel-titling therecord. But they didn’t. It was a struggle to name World Comes Calling , so

they lited the name straight o o what is now the title track. “It’s a little

bit o magic,” Redmore says on their choice o moniker. “It aects you. I

don’t quite know how.” He’s right though; the name has that niggle that

makes you sit up and listen.

Growing up gives you grown up aspirations. Midnight Youth want to

be a live band, and even go so ar as to say they see themselves suiting

the live estival circuit. Redmore has a vision o them as a nighttime rock

set at Glastonbury. The majority o the songs on World Comes Calling are

written or live perormance, and even the song descriptions encapsulate

this desire.

The band recently spent a year living and touring together in Sydney,

which allowed or them to try and throw away songs; their songwriting

technique has been to test live. Living together also allowed or them

grow tighter. “We’re like a amily. It’s a cool vibe,” says Redmore. “We’d

go out every weekend.” He says that it was a handy situational thing

because when he gets song ideas, Simon’s right there with him. “It’s like a

gang eel. It’s a unique thing.”

Redmore expects touring details to be out soon, and stayed tight-

lipped when asked i there are any estival dates looming with the

summer estivals drawing closer. “Summer is up in the air,” was all he

would let on. However, he did mention that he’d like or the band to playsomewhere like Rhythm & Vines and Big Day Out. “We eel we’ve done

the band justice,” says Redmore. “We’re doing what the people we look

up to do.”

Watch this space, because although those sights are set on stages

halway across the world, Midnight Youth know where their an base is.

“We want to give New Zealand our best shot,” says Redmore.

Lst week i ws lucky enuht he wn t the fshWynyr Qurter t enter b bubble tht i hppenet rhtly ssume ws the HPWnter gren. Luckily for me itwas a hands-on event that didn’tland me with a slap, courtesyof Xbox. The gaming giantswere previewing their latestand greatest, and here’s a quicksummary.

If you loved the rst h then you’ll have a blast re-livingit with h c e:

ay , which is the exactsame game but in HD. It alsohas a nifty feature where youcan switch the graphics back tonon-HD which essentially makesyou feel like you’ve taken yourglasses off or had one too manypints before playing.

I’ve loved the Xbox Kinectfor having mates around andplaying games that you couldclass under funnier thaninteresting. It’s a piece of socialhardware that gets you andyour mates into what would

otherwise be a stupid game,but the competitiveness of theKinect makes the mundanebecome playable. The gamethat caught my attention morethan most was k s w.Everyone has wanted to wielda light saber whilst throwingyour enemies through a glasswindow using the force, andnow you can. Jump over yourenemies, slash them with yourlight saber, force blast thembackwards or pull them towardsyou all without leaving the spot.

Now this is fun. It’s great to seethat companies are starting togure out interesting ways touse the Kinect.

g w 3 is anotheraddition to the game that forme stands out more than most

XBoX ShoWcaSe evenT

for its forward thinking of theoriginal version to really makethe most of co-op mode. Goodto know that this carries on withsolo, split screen or four-way (viaXbox Live) modes are available.Once again, the graphics aregreat and gameplay seems tobe as enjoyable as it alwayshas been. Unfortunately I didn’tget a long time on this one, butwhat I played I enjoyed and I’msure it’ll be as a big a seller as itspredecessors.

I loved experiencing f

with three screens, seat, pedalsand paddles for gears. Howeverif you’re like me and you’re notDonald Trump, then the gameitself is also available on Kinectand 360. The Kinect version Iwasn’t sold on, as you have tohold your arms up like you’redriving, but without anything tohold onto, your arms get heavysurprisingly quickly. The gameitself is great though – moretracks, more cars and overall ithas the same realistic gameplaythat most love.

All in all a good staple ofgames for Christmas from Xboxas well as stuff in the pipeline.There were other games onshow, but these were the standouts for me.

Snsn s gere McCullum’s(Mtce’s utrst) ltestprject. It’s a step into the post-punk lo- production valuesof shoegaze, though given itscontemporary existence, it’s nu-gaze. ly is a ve track debutEP writhing in the former andwith dabblings of industrial andpsychedelic. The title track startsthings off instrumentally, mixing

pot tapping and machine noisestogether to create climbingrhythmic intensity. It is also theacoustic height of the EP, butthat’s in no way a downfall.The EP masters atmosphere;an aura of tension creepsthroughout all ve tracks. Themiddle three tracks have lyrics,playing more with psychedelia.The vocals are mournfuland ‘Blinded By Your Eyes’ isparticularly haunting.However, there is nothingcatchy and nothing happy

which makes Layers reallyexciting. Sinsin could have easilyslipped into London twentyyears ago and looked the realdeal. A fascinating new additionto the Kiwi alter register.

Crem the bln crp,ths pr were. Now they’re thecream of the major independentlabel crop. Evan Abeele (hemakes most of the music) andDenise Nouvion (she makes thenice lady-noises) released TheYears way back in 2010 when itwas trés cool to pump out anEP’s worth of acid-washed, hazyelectronica before disappearing

back into telemarketing. Well,these cats must have somethingparticularly special about themif they managed to sign toSub Pop, right? Oh yeah, goodtunes. Alongside the denseartwork and smoky texturesare ve gentle odes to... well,something. It all just soundsreally nice. ‘Lately’ takes a prettybig slice from Jon Brion’s EternalSunshine Of The Spotless Mindsoundtrack, whilst opener ‘SleepPatterns’ is marked with thesort of haunting and emotive

precedent that is sadly lackingfrom most ash-in-the-pan blogfavourites. If The Years has beenremastered for Sub Pop then itis very subtle indeed, but thenagain, it’s a record to get lost in.

constant wink/nudge of theWUO prevails here: whether it’sthe playful AC ditty ‘AfternoonDelight’ (I still can’t get RonBurgundy out of my head whenhearing this) or the lovelornSteve Jessup singing drunkenlyabout ‘Raylene’, it’s the senseof summer playfulness thatshines through the most. Thatthe two best covers here are byThe Smiths and Cyndi Lauperalso shows the WUO have aparticular knack for resurrectingsemi-forgotten ‘80s classics.

Sure, the characters may allbe over 18, but the near squeakyclean and chaste mix of Eurohunks, serious bling and shoe

Much of the lm’s lack ofcharm is do with main characterD’Artagnan, played here byLogan Lerman (Percy Jackson).

He starts as he means to goon – arrogant, annoying andsmug. The movie’s saving graceis the easy camaraderie RayStevenson, Matthew Macfadyenand Luke Evans bring to thetitular heroes. With a humorous

But with little conict in Gil’sfantasy world (everyone appearsto him as idealised versions ofthemselves), Midnight in Parisoats along like the dreamsequence it is, leaving the viewerfeeling simultaneously cheated

and amused. Some of thedialogue feels contrived, too– the characters coming outwith lines as though they werewritten purely to identify theiraws, particularly the one-dimensional Inez. Somehowthough, Gil – and in turnAllen – emerges as charming,neurotic and witty. Despite itsaws, m p willleave a smile on your face, anda yearning to visit the Paris of
