Rufus Norris, Director Of Broken Interview
Rufus Norris, in between other juggled commitments (“I’m trying to find a quiet spot here in BBC Radio, as I had another interview this morning”), recently talked via phone to Rip It Up about Broken, his debut as writer/director drawing from the novel by Daniel Clay. Discussing some of the…
Broken Review
Theatre-intensive director Rufus Norris makes his début as cinematic writer/director (adapting Daniel Clay’s novel) with this dark drama saved from despair by beautifully understated playing, particularly by the totally unknown and unaffected Eloise Laurence.
Her ‘Skunk’ is an 11 year old living in North London with:…
Live Review: The Rubens At HQ, Thu May 16
The Rubens are well and truly on the rise undertaking their largest tour to date and stepping up the size of venues, particularly here in little ol' Adelaide, playing to an almost full house at HQ. There is definitely something exciting and a touch a class about…

Live Review: Tenacious D At Thebarton Theatre, Tue May 14
The option to stay home and overdose on reality TV on Tuesday night wasn’t even an option knowing that Tenacious D, featuring the infamous pair Kyle Gass and Jack Black, were in town bringing the
Franz Ferdinand Announce New Album ‘Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action’
Four years since the release of their last album Tonight which bore charting singles like Ulysses, Scottish indie rock outfit Franz Ferdinand have returned with their newest studio effort Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action
Tyga: Hotel California
When you’ve got not talent, just compensate with misogyny. Seems to work for Tyga and his superstar guestlist including Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Wiz Khalifa, 2 Chainz and – no way – Chris Brown. To put it simply, if you hate originality, charisma and intelligence, you should be all over…
Steve Vai Announces 2013 Tour
Legendary guitar virtuoso Steve Vai has announced dates for a forthcoming Australian tour taking place this July.
Since picking up a guitar in the 80s to play for Frank Zappa and Whitesnake, the three-time Grammy award winner has gone on to release eight studio albums over three decades amassing over 15 million album…
King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard: Eyes Like The Sky
King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard: right from the start we should have known these guys were up to no good. And barely six months after the release of their celebrated sludgy garage debut album 12 Bar Bruise, the no good varmints reveal Eyes Like The Sky, an Ennio Morricone-devoted…
Dido: Girl Who Got Away
It’s been five years since we heard that quiet, therapeutic voice nearly drift us into peaceful unconsciousness but Dido is back, this time with a spring in her step.
In a seeming attempt to up the mellowed ante many of the tracks take some confusing risks, including Blackbird and End…
Youth Lagoon: Wondrous Bughouse
When I think of teenagers, or youth in general, the image of giant walking pimples comes to mind. Bipedal pustules literally about to burst with the white, amorphous pus of sexual frustration, self-pity and unfounded angst.
Usually these sentient abortions spend their awkward years getting fat, making fools of themselves…
Spring Breakers Review
While this looks like it might be a mere teen comedy, the mainstream-ish ‘comeback’ for indie writer/director Harmony Korine (who wrote the ghastly Kids and directed appalling tripe like Gummo), his intentions are much vaguer. Four late teen (yeah, right) besties are desperate to get to Spring Break festivities in…
