Are you feeling teased yet? An interview with Scarlett McKahey
Many have said rock and roll is a man’s business. In my humble opinion, those people should pull their heads out of their arse. Look at Janis Joplin, Stevie Nicks, Debbie Harry, Joan Jett and Chrissie Hynde, to name a few. Look at bands like The Runaways. Now look

Wicked women making history
Do you know about the historic ocean pool that was built as a women’s bath? The popular Wollongong hotel that was run by a team of spirited women? The women who had to fight tooth and nail for a job at the Steelworks? She Shapes History are bringing these

Catching Hot Pursuit on the radar
Australia’s local music scene is in a very strange state at the moment. Many would argue that much of what the country exports can best be described as beach music made for beach lovers. While I admit that Australians (myself included) love the beach, there comes a point where

Welcome to the internet! A platform to find community beyond the confines of your physical location, to share your music or your latest craft project, and to build each other up when things get hard.

Ben Hession's tribute show
Bruce McLaren once said “life is measured in achievement, not in years alone,” and from what I saw on Saturday at Ben Hession’s tribute show, I feel that I saw the physical embodiment of those words. To many, Ben Hession may be a name that strikes no thought, but

The Comedy of Errors Review: Shakespeare at His Silliest
Antipholus has clearly gone mad! He steals, lies, and pretends not to recognise his own wife. His servant Dromio is no better: straying from his quests, making insubordinate jokes, and even locking Antipholus out of his own house. Surely some kind of demonic possession is to blame! But here’s
