The
Autumn 2002 edition included:
Midnight
Oil - When Midnight Oil played a handful of shows at the Sydney
Metro and the Melbourne Forum in mid-February, two things were clear.
The audience, once mostly sweaty males with one hand wrapped around
a beer can and the other clenched fisted in the air as they’d yell "Oiyls!
Oiyls! Oiyls!", had more females.
Fear Factory - Describing
themselves as extreme alternative, Fear Factory have been crushing the
barriers between alternative, dance, industrial and metal since their
earliest beginnings.
The
ORB - In the hierarchy of tripped out psychadelic sounds Alex Paterson
is some kind of royalty, and yet here he is a mild mannered and pleasant
fellow wearing a Chelsea FC shirt. It’s almost surprising that he is
quite normal and human. What I really want to ask him is how on earth
anyone thinks up such seriously trippy and weird music?
Space Like Alice - The
Australian rock scene is about to get a much needed facelift. Unless
you’ve been away, you couldn’t have missed hearing Melbourne four piece
Space Like Alice’ debut single "Compensate", saturating the airwaves
during this past Summer.
David Hilliard - Those
fortunate enough to have witnessed any of David Byrne’s shows on his
recent Australian tour would have been blown away by the percussive
onslaught provided by percussionist Mauro Refosco and drummer David
Hilliard.
GEORGE - When Australian Musician’s
Greg Phillips caught up with drummer Geoff Green the band were taking
a short break from rehearsals with the Queensland Orchestra, who together
were recreating a concerto for rock band and orchestra written many
years ago by Deep Purple keyboardist Jon Lord.
Weekend Warriors -
You're never too
old to rock and roll. A
four-week program where musicians between the ages of 40 to 60 form
a band with players they've never played with before and rehearse for
a concert!
