Going out to live music events is more than just following a band, artist or genre. Live music is more about the skill, the talent & how it makes you feel when you hear it. Too often music is restricted to a single style where the events only cater to one type of audience. We understand that there is a need to bring together people like us who love listening to live music & don't care so much about the genre.

The Duchesses Ah, the life of Eddie Kirkland. Born in Jamaica and raised in Alabama, the guitar-abusing Kirkland moved to Detroit in 1943 where he hooked up with John Lee Hooker, with whom he first recorded, five years later. After his debut recordings on RPM and King which were nothing short of amazing, he headed over to Fortune where he laid down the absolutely insane 'I Must've Done Somebody Wrong' in '59. The lyrics barely fit the song structure, but somehow that made it all better as master Kirkland wrenched them out and wrapped them perfectly around his totally whacked guitar work, snagging a claim to the term 'Total Destruction To Your Mind' a good decade before it was appropriated by the honorable Swamp Dogg. In '61 Eddie signed on to the Tru-Sound label, for whom he cut his first alb

Recent Headlines for Guild Wars GoldThe latest edition of the State of the Game wow gold series of articles about the art of PvP in Guild Wars gold has been posted on the Guild Wars official site. This week the focus is on Hero Battles. Although Hero Battles are a relatively new venture in Guild Wars, they have matured rapidly since their inception. One could argue that implementing the 1v1 ladder and placing top Hero Battles on Observer Mode have rapidly developed the metagame for Hero Battles. Although many players would claim those features have stagnated Hero Battles, they have also generated more interest in this new form of PvP.Going into a Hero Battle, a player needs a different frame of mind than other forms of PvP. Much like Alliance Battles, most effective characters in Hero Battles need a degree of self-sufficiency. Players tend not to bring a build balanced for 4v4 play because 4v4 battle occurs infrequently. If one of the players does not want to fight 4v4, it simply won't happen. Instead,

From the official site: Originally founded as a Draenei temple, this plot has been conquered and despoiled many times throughout the history of Outland, removing any spiritual grace it may have once held. The Black Temple has been the stage of the Orc Horde's blood curse, a fortress for the then-mortal Ner'zhul, and a prime staging ground for the Burning Legion's campaign of destruction.. Most recently, it has been claimed as home by Illidan, where he and his minions make their bid for power over the remnants of the shattered planet.

Di Evantile - Infrared Clock (2008)

Monday, June 30th, 2008

How I Feel About It :

We reviewed Di Evantile's Inertia last December and I remember thinking that Beatrice Clarke went a little easy on it. It seemed a little too Animatronics, too machine-like and the keyboard sounds seemed too cheesy and overused. Even if it was superbly orchestrated (and some of it well-played) it sounded a bit hollow and soulless to me. So imagine my surprise when I drew Infrared Clock to review. I thought, "Here's an excellent chance to set the record straight." But Di Evantile changed some things, and for the better.

This album is dreamy and trance inducing. It's the perfect music to go to sleep to, without actually inducing sleep. There's something at once modern and primeval about it, and it urges the listener to dream on an epic scale without requiring epic amounts of energy to do it. This isn't a work that I will ever feel passionately about because it's only interested in the passion of dreams, which are usually distan

Kidz In The Hall - Drivin' Down The Block JM

When we think we’ve made some kind of progress in the world of Hip Hop, someone always manages to pull it right back down, like crabs in a barrel. Not the best analogy, true, but it has more intelligence than in the entire Drivin’ Down The Block cut by Kidz In The Hall. Yet, the old school flavour of the track tends to be so appealing, it makes it hard to decide whether to listen to it or not.

Del The Funky Homosapien - Eleventh Hour JM
News Item

Bobby Valentino - Sexy Girl JM
News Item
Bobby V has never impressed me and Sexy Girl doesn’t either. Bobby Valentino falls back on the same old formula of, ‘ Baby you are fine, baby you are gonna be mine’ .. booring! Even the more easily pleased punter would find this track hard to take thanks to the lack luster hook and annoying delivery. However, the beat is some what of a saving grace as it contains some nice, subtle guitar and behind a breezy, cool groove.

Guilty Simpson - Ode To The Ghetto JM
News Item
The music world was left with countless gifts when the great J Dilla passed away in 2006. Whether it be his prolific back catalogue, contributions to Detroit’s thriving Hip Hop scene or more specifically the talented collaborators and protégés he worked with; one of the most gifted would have to be hard-as-nails MC Guilty Simpson, who has built a sizable buzz for his debut solo album since his first recorded appearance on the Jaylib project Champion Sound in 2003.For more of this review please check out: http://www.planeturban.com.au/album_reviews/album_guilty_simpson_ode_to_the_ghetto

Billy Bunks - Spit And Gristle JM

Floating around Melbourne’s Hip Hop scene for quite some time, affiliated with several crews including the Hired Goons and the Hospice Crew, Billy Bunks finally commits his unique vision to a solo project on the aptly-titled Spit And Gristle.For more of this review please check out: http://www.planeturban.com.au/album_reviews/album_billy_bunks_spit_and_gristle

Keyshia Cole - Just Like You JM
News Item
Tattooed, street, strong, proud and vocally powerful, Keyshia Cole is making her mark in the R&B world. She’s known for her wild style, extreme bling, constant hair alterations and less than shy wardrobe. Think along the lines of Eve, but harder, Lil' Kim, but classier. And she’s no overnight sensation! Keyshia has been in the industry since childhood, even working with MC Hammer at just 12-years-old.

Lowrider - Diamond Amongst The Thieves JM
News Item
With Australian music getting better and better all the time it’s a rare privilege to review an Australian album that is truly incredible. Lowrider has produced Diamond Amongst The Thieves and have not only hit a home run, but they’ve knocked the ball way out of the park! From the moment this album starts, you would never think that firstly Lowrider is Australian, and secondly that they are white. Lead singer Joe Braithwaite has an incredibly soulful and dramatic voice made for funk/soul/blues/hip hop and I know you’ll agree. If there is a group that should be flying the Australian music flag right now, it should be Lowrider.For more of this review please check out: http://www.planeturban.com.au/album_reviews/album_lowrider_diamond_amongst_the_thieves

Layzie Bone - Thugz Nation JM
News Item
It’s not rare that when an artist of a group or collective attempts to release a solo effort it usually ends up being something you find sticking out from under the lid of a recycling bin. Although “recycling” may be the right word to use, Layzie Bone’s Thugz Nation does have a good chunk to offer hardcore Bone Thugs fans, especially Layzie fans. Though the style is the same, it somehow doesn’t seem to get old. For more of this review please check out: http://www.planeturban.com.au/album_reviews/album_layzie_bone_thugz_nation

Lyrics Born - Everywhere At Once JM

California rapper and all around entertainer Lyrics Born has always been known for his uplifting party flavoured music, peppered with social commentary.

Mike Street - The Man And The Dream JM
News Item
Heavy beats, heavy flow, heavy lyrics…so much is heavy with this album that maybe Mike Street should have perhaps called himself Heavy Mike…had he actually been physically heavy. But for what Mike Street is, which is both in some cases original and in some not, it is worth putting your ear to his album The Man and The Dream. Although this young aspiring artist doesn’t cite The Game as one of his influences, he sounds remarkably like him without the level of rasp in his voice and slightly less enthusiastic rhymes.

Fat Ray & Black Milk - The Set Up JM
News Item
Long known for its musical roots, dating back to the glory days of Motown, Detroit has established itself as somewhat of a Mecca for Hip Hop music in the last several years thanks to the likes of Eminem, Slum Village/J Dilla and Royce Da 5’9”. As a new school of no nonsense up and comers emerge, veterans Fat Ray and Black Milk (two-thirds of the group BR Gunna) step up to the plate and drop one of the most potent releases this reviewer has heard in some time.For More of this Review please check out: http://www.planeturban.com.au/album_reviews/album_fat_ray_and_black_milk_the_set_up

Motley - Hairy Nandies Chris_z
News Item
Motley is a funny man. You don’t need to look any further than the cover of his Hairy Nandies EP for proof, where he can be seen clad in a centaur costume (half-man half-horse) walking down what appears to be a suburban street. While his contributions to DJ Peril’s 2006 release King of the Beats failed to leave a lasting impression on me, he more than makes up for it on this largely entertaining nine-track release.For more of this review please check out: http://www.planeturban.com.au/album_reviews/album_motley_hairy_nandies

Chris Brown - Forever JM
News Item
Chris Brown's new cut Forever is clearly out of club land. Like his nimble feet, Brown’s vocals glide and wind around bubbly synths are anchored by some deep bass lines. The synths dance the fine line between contemporary dance music and streamlined R&B to create a fertile field for Brown to explore.

KRS One - Adventures In Emceein' JM
News Item
The Teacha, The Philosopher, The Blastmaster… monikers and aliases usually mean nothing in Hip Hop unless you are referring to a true, true legend. Such is KRS-One, the man who has been blessing the mic for 25 years now, spreading knowledge of many aspects of society, religion, politics and, of course, Hip Hop. Still going strong after a quarter of a century, his latest effort Adventures In Emceein’ is all done in true KRS-style, reminding us all that this is what Hip Hop is supposed to sound like.

Bliss N Eso - Flying Colours JM
News Item
Following on from the success of Day of The Dog, one of Australia's most outstanding Hip Hop acts, Bliss N Eso are back with their most impressive album to date. The guys have obviously spent a lot of time on this over the past couple of years, as the quality of beats, turntable skills and general production are as good as ever. The first single off the album Bullet and a Target, which samples Citizen Cope, was one that I absolutely loved after first hearing it. After traveling to South Africa as part of the Oaktree Foundation, the idea to document the political climate and day-to-day life many under-privilege South Africans go through ended up being a very moving and thought-provoking song.

9th Wonder & Buckshot - The Formula JM
News Item
Good music, regardless of genre, sometimes seems to get overlooked or underappreciated; whether it is because of restrictions (limited radio/TV exposure), fickle listeners or a number of other reasons. However, when an album as vibrant and invigorating as The Formula comes out, it is hard to avoid, or at least difficult to understand why others aren’t paying attention.For more of this review please check out: http://www.planeturban.com.au/album_reviews/album_9th_wonder_buckshot_formula

Little Vic - Each Dawn I Die JM

Upon witnessing the cover art and tracklisting, I can picture listeners and critics thinking: “great! Just what we need, another Hip Hop album full of mafia and crime references.” However, that assumption would be incorrect on this occasion.For more of this review please check out: http://www.planeturban.com.au/album_reviews/album_little_vic_each_dawn_i_die

Tyrone - Heavy Labor, No Breaks JM
News Item
Acceptance, followed by the resulting loyalty, is not easy to come by in the field of being a recording artist these days. Rejecting the notion of jumping on board with whatever sound is hot, blue collar rapper Tyrone clearly prefers to grind hard, drawing inspiration from his musical heroes while also digging down into his own personality and life experiences to deliver Heavy Labor, No Breaks.

Lyfe Jennings - Lyfe Change JM
News Item
Lyfe Change is the title of singer/song writer/producer Chester ‘Lyfe’ Jennings’ third studio album and what a refreshing change it is. A soul revolution, it is gritty, unique and honest. The record debuted at number four on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, selling about 80,000 copies in its first week.

Braintax - My Last And Best Album JM
News Item
Life on the independent Hip Hop scene appears to be much like working a 9-to-5 office job, except presumably more stimulating. It lacks the glory and recognition of a more glamorous trade, while promotions/raises are fleeting. A man that can identify with that description would be Braintax, the “hardest working” man in British Hip Hop, who is hanging his mic up here on album number three, as he relocates from his native land to Australia.For more of this review please check out: http://www.planeturban.com.au/album_reviews/album_braintax_my_last_and_best_album

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony - Still Creepin on Ah Come Up JM
News Item
One thing most Hip Hop reviewers probably never get sick of is writing Bone Thugs reviews, and if there comes a point when they do, then they should perhaps just stick to writing reviews on gimmick-reliant pedestrian rappers, because the review game doesn’t want them. That is why I take great pleasure in writing on Still Creepin’ On Ah Come Up, their fifteen-year-awaited somewhat sequel to their classic Creepin’ On Ah Come Up. Well, they done came up, so no need for creepin’, but the ‘still’ part they hold very well.

Plantlife - Time Traveller JM
News Item
Funk music has always had its eccentric characters - George Clinton and Bootsy Collins immediately come to mind but you can also cite Isaac Hayes, Sly Stone and more recently Jamiroquai. But if you are gonna make funky music .. it is essential to have a fun and colourful nature. Plant Life carries on this tradition.

The Daily Vault Album Reviews: Random Thoughts (From A Paralyzed Mind)

by Jason Warburg, The Daily Vault

Here we go again. Halfway through the slush pile, tossing 'em aside like pancakes at a Little League fundraiser, and allofasudden whoooaaa Nellie. Hang on, we got us a keeper.

Peter Bloom is a singer-songwriter who learned all the right lessons from John, George, Ringo and especially Paul - not to mention Elton John and John (Five For Fighting) Ondrasik. This is simply gorgeous piano/orchestral-based pop, carried to the next level by Bloom's insightful lyrics and full-bodied melodic sensibilities.

"Let It Go" is a knockout opener, a mid-tempo plea for resolution whose jangly guitar, thrumming organ and keening string accents help Bloom build to a soaring, affecting climax that sums up everything a good ballad should be.

The orchestral flourishes that open and color the fringes of "Walls" could have been lifted from Revolver, but weren't; these are original confections using familiar music
