stonefieldstonefieldMOMENTS before Stone� eld came onto the Nova New Music stage at the 2011 St Kilda Fest, a self proclaimed rock n’ roll a� cionado turned to me and said, quite disdainfully, “Do you really think they’ll even be that good live?”

Then Stone� eld walked on, played half a verse and, through the beautiful, soulful rock n’ roll bliss, I heard her beg-ging, embarrassed and contrite, “Please, forget I ever said that.”

Indeed, in a way, her initial doubts are understandable.

Composed of four young sisters from Gisborne, their recent arrival on

the music scene and the frequent pres-ence of their parents backstage often doesn’t prepare people for the talent, polish and unprecedented levels of coolness that underpin their shows.

To a packed alleyway, they ripped into ‘Foreign Lover’, a song which, along with ‘Through the Clover’, has won them not only Triple J’s Unearthed High

2010, but also high rotation on the na-tional broadcaster and a nomination for the prestigious J Award for best Un-earthed artist.

With in� uences such as Led Zeppe-lin, Frank Zappa and Jimi Hendrix, their original tracks and their rollicking cover of Zeppelin’s ‘Whole Lotta Love’ cap-tured everyone, from kids as old as their bass guitarist, 12 years, to the middle-aged man in a sensible shirt and shoes jiving away next to me.

Visually, they are just as inspired, donning 70s vests and the token mate-rial headbands. Holly, the bass guitarist,

who had to strain, stretching her arm out to full length to actually tune her in-strument, rocked out in a Led Zeppelin t-shirt.

Next to any other band trying to respectfully pay homage to that era of rock n’ roll, Stone� eld makes them look almost fraudulent.

With an EP out in late 2010 and spots at the legendary Glastonbury and Great Escape festivals later in the year, 2011 looks to be a huge one for the girls.

At least, I’m sure their mum and dad are looking forward to it.

deanoLOCAL muso Deano Stanton is holding a launch for his new CD at The Newmarket Hotel tonight.

Deano hosts an open mic jam at The Basement Bar every Sunday and absolutely loves it: “Every time I do it I feel like I’ve got the best job in the world.”

Deano has done all the recording and mastering for his four-track release, simply entitled This Is A Musical Recording.

“I’ve done it all myself, it sounds a little rough in some parts but that’s generally how folk music recordings sound anyway these days!” he said.

He’s also releasing it himself through his own, newly established record label Puppet Party Records. Many who came along to the Ethanol farewell show would have seen Deano open the night’s proceedings.

On stage with Deano tonight will be two of Bendigo’s � nest musos, Ben Gibbons on Bass and Gav Moncrief on Drums.

He’s chosen the support for the night from the Tuesday Golden Vine Jam session, so it’s going to be a complete mystery.

It’s rare that you go to a gig around town and don’t see Deano’s face in the audience, so it would be great to see as many possible come along and show their support tonight.

katholic kabaretkomedyIT promises to be the funniest, and most musical, take on religion, bar nun.

Katholic Kabaret, a musical and comic recollection of growing up Catholic in the conservative 1950s, is on at The Capital from March 1 to 5.

With a cast of ­ fteen, including nuns, school students and a priest, the laughs are guaranteed, while a soundtrack of the Beatles, The Sound of Music and The Corrs, promises a toe tapping good time.

The show is inspired by Musical Director Terrence Carroll’s catholic education in Pyramid Hill, where he was taught by nuns.

“Our talented local performers will take the audience on a journey with hymns, show tunes, Irish dancing and some politically incorrect stories,” he said.

Contact The Capital on 54346100 or online www.thecapital.com.au.

muso’s stuffHERE’S a golden opportunity to both listen to and talk shop with one of Bendigo’s top bands.

Next Friday from 8pm local music store Muso’s Stu� , will host Steve Lane and the Autocratz, as they showcase their debut album, The Romance of Communication.

Following the gig will be a conversation with the band, and Lane’s songwriting partner, and local author, John Holton, where you can soak up all the tales behind the tunes.

Muso’s Stu� is building a reputation for bringing world-renowned artists to Bendigo for in-store workshops, including guitar maestro Bob Brozman.

“The aim is to break down the barrier between artist and audience,” store owner Greg Perry said.

“I would encourage young people learning an instrument, and those interested in the music industry, to attend.”

Support will come from local singer/songwriter Aaron Wales.

in brief � lm review� lm: conviction� lm: convictionconviction

CONVICTION is an interesting yarn that poses a di� cult question about loyalty.

Pamela Gray’s screenplay is based on a true story about Betty Anne Waters who devotes a major part of her life to free her brother who has been incarcerated for murder.

While an admirable action, the moral dilemma arises as she becomes obsessed with her quest to the detriment of all around her.

Her marriage is destroyed and even her two children are casualties.

Waters’ brother Kenny’s innocence or guilt is not known throughout most of the movie.

And as he is a troublesome soul and de� nitely not an angel, the audience is left guessing, which forms part of the movie’s suspense.

However, the backbone of the story is Betty’s incredible fortitude and perseverance to prove her belief in her sibling.

As a single mother raising two young boys she decides to embark on a law degree with the sole aim of becoming her brother’s defence lawyer.

Betty faces an unhelpful judiciary, hostile family and an

unforgiving academic world that is unwilling to cut her any slack.

Even her jailed brother Kenny loses heart and the will to � ght – adding another stress to Betty’s predicament.

Conviction is Hilary Swank’s movie. She plays the lead and is also credited as an executive producer.

Since its release in October in the US, Conviction is yet to break even from its relatively small budget of a little more than $12 million.

However, with later world-wide release and future DVD revenues, there is doubt that Swank will be exposed to any � nancial loss.

Swank is supported by two other very good performances. Sam Rockwell is convincing as the brother.

He presents the role perfectly – neither aiming towards audience sympathy nor totally alienating the viewer.

Minnie Driver is an important foil for Swank as Betty’s best friend from law school.

The � lm covers a time spread and Stephanie Gilliam’s art direction alongside Mark Ricker’s production design and Rena DeAngelo’s set direction captures the timeline perfectly.

IT’S a Horrorshow lament that the truth gets no airplay because it ain’t that catchy.

But thankfully, things are changing.The rap duo from Sydney’s inner west

have always aimed for authenticity, and through that noble ideal, and a slew of funky beats, they’ve become a worthy re-load to the canon of Australian hip hop– out� ts that tell Aussie stories in the provin-cial tongue.

Last year was a big year for Horrorshow. Through the musical one–two of “Thought-crime” and “The Rain”, the duo of Solo (Nick Bryant-Smith) and DJ Adit (Adit Gauchan), built upon the groundwork laid with their � rst album, The Grey Space, nominated for an ARIA Award for Best Urban Album in 2008.

The pair have been tight ever since meeting at Sydney’s Fort Street High School, through a love of hip hop. But per-haps in a precursor to their � rst hit, there was practically zilch hitting the spot across mainstream media.

“I didn’t really get what was being shown on Video Hits,” Solo said.

“But through my older brother I found the Hill Top Hoods. I was hooked.”

That opening salvo, “Thoughtcrime”, (which got its � rst public airing at Groovin’ The Moo two years ago), emerged from the emcee’s reaction to the turgid nature of commercial radio, and his tendency to overwork the grey matter.

“I was getting sick of turning on my ra-dio and hearing garbage, for lack of a bet-ter word,” he said.

“I just got sick of feeling like nobody was putting in any e� ort into what they were doing.”

“For me music is a chance to really create something to really connect with people.”

For that reason, Solo is all too aware of the responsibility success has placed upon his shoulders.

“As an emcee I have an opportunity to say something,” he said.

“People who get that opportunity shouldn’t squander it just talking about money or being out in a club.”

Ironically, “Thoughtcrime” was intend-ed to be a shoeshu� er, albeit a cerebral one.

“I just wanted a way to vent some of those frustrations in a fun and light hearted way, in a way that you can still dance to,” he said.

“But it was also a call to those who like a bit of substance in their music, for those who want to think and connect.”

And it did. With the standout line, “If I knew how to silence all the voices in my head then I would, but I can’t so I listen to ‘em instead”, it hooked a sub-culture.

“A lot of people have really connected with that line,” he said.

“All through my life I’ve had people say, ‘Mate, you’re thinking about it too much’.

“I tend to think about things deeply, and take things a bit too seriously, but at the same time I can’t help that, it’s the way that I am.

“It’s my downfall sometimes but it also gives me a chance to do what I do. “

Solo remains an unbashed fan and fol-lower of the godfathers of Aussie hip hop, The Hilltop Hoods.

“The Hoods are authentic, they really care about hip hop in this country,” he said.

“They perfected that balance early on of being distinctly Australian, but under-standing and appreciating what is ulti-mately an American tradition.”

Solo is also comfy with comparisons to the likes of Muph n Plutonic, as it was Muph who planted the seed of introspective rap in his mind.

“Muph was the � rst Aussie rapper to really grab my attention as far as showing you could rap about real emotions and feel-ings,” he said.

“In a lot of ways Muph was the trail-blazer in Australia in creating that lyrical content.”

It was this attention to feeling that spawned the uplifting “The Rain”, a hip hop anthem for the downtrodden, but also a shout out to always see the glass as half full.

“It’s a song that has probably got the biggest emotional response,” he said.

“It’s easy to be defeated and feel sad and focus on the bad things that happen.You just have to embrace and focus on the positive things in your life.”

Solo is equally positive about bringing two albums’ worth of tunes to Bendigo for Groovin’ The Moo in April.

“Bendigo was my favourite show of the whole tour (Groovin’ The Moo 2009),” he said. “I had so many kids come up to me af-ter the show and say ‘Thank you’.

“I just said, ‘It’s a pleasure’. To get that kind of gratitude is just amazing. So I’m re-ally looking forward to coming back.”

Horrorshow play Groovin’ The Moo.

STEPHEN HALEY is a Melbourne digital artist preoccupied with space.

Not 2001: A Space Odyssey kind of space, but space as we know it in everyday life – and how it has changed in the digital age.

He has a new show at Bendigo Art Gal-lery. In Here Is There he argues the de� nitions between di� erent spaces as we knew them before the digital age are no longer.

Because of the internet we can work from anywhere; the world has become our o� ce space. Digital photos of us can exist in cyber spaces all over the globe simultaneously – not just in a photo album stu� ed in a bottom drawer.

The idea of real physical space has been re� ned by digital technology – or so it goes according to Haley.

He says, “The solid divisions between opposites now seem ¡ uid and malleable… where once staunchly-held and patrolled dif-ferences between borders are increasingly becoming impossible to maintain. ‘There’ is becoming ‘here’, or the other way around… We are all linked in, increasingly all part of ‘the whole.

“And this is set to continue and accelerate along with the digital age.”

To illustrate, he has created a series of four interconnected works.

Two lightjet prints – Here (255) and There (107) – feature pictures of complete strangers which he downloaded from the internet.

Mirror images of each other, the Here � g-ures inhabit the exterior of a high rise apart-ment building laughing and living on balco-nies in daylight.

The There � gures inhabit the same build-ing only on the inside at night.

Here is There is a kind of abstract wall map made of re¡ ective tape, a diagram of two identical suburban houses that mirror each other.

It’s illuminated by Driveby, a 3D mod-elled animation projection on the opposite wall. For my money, it’s the exhibition’s best piece.

Gamers will love Driveby; so will those in-terested in the intersections between urbani-sation and nature, visual art and video, reality and arti� ce.

It’s a hypnotic two minute video loop that becomes more expansive the more you watch it.

Set to an innocuous hi-hat ‘n’ bass soundtrack, a tarmac road lumbers its way through recognisable Melbourne sites, backstreets and high rise car parks, via a forest, all the way to Port Phillip Bay.

Buildings fall away in this moving road’s path to reveal an ever-shifting, unstable landscape that is always becoming some-thing else.

As we move with it seemingly in one place – or “here” as Haley would have it – we’re already “there”, somewhere else, somewhere that keeps changing and will never stop.

Driveby could be a road to nowhere; but really it’s a road to anywhere but here’.Haley’s point about collapsing boundaries is well-made in this elaborate digital ani-mation, but he makes an even greater point about the endless, shifting, busy nature of digital technology – how do you turn it o� ?

When do you stop? And is this evolu-tion or devolution?

Young digital artists will de� nitely get a kick from Here Is There, then hopefully enter their own inspired work into the Raw Art Awards, Bendigo’s annual youth arts com-petition, open to visual artists, writers, per-formers and digital media artists under 25.

Cash prizes are on o� er, with applica-tions now open.

And Our Shed in Eaglehawk is also call-ing for applications from local artists, to participate in the second Birds Of A Feather artists’ market on April 30.

Cost is $25, and there will be some great ‘bird-themed’ music from bands Old Buzzard Medicine Show and Old World Sparrow.

Very tweet-worthy!

Here is There, Bendigo Art Gallery, until March 27, entry by donation.Raw Art Awards, applications close March 25. www.bendigo.vic.gov.auBirds Of A Feather artists’ market, Saturday April 30, 9am to 2pm, 14 Sailors Gully Road, Eaglehawk. Apply to Mark Polsen 0401 510 470.

THIS is going to be one very � ne barbie.The weekend of Heathcote’s Snag,

Beer and Bubble festival (March 5 and 6), The Dispensary’s Tim Baxter will be holding forth on beer, one of his several passions.

He’ll also be hosting a very � ne de-gustation lunch – with matched beers – at his premises in Bendigo’s Chancery Lane on the Sunday.

But the four-course do is for only as many salivating diners as can � nd a seat inside The Dispensary, and that’s not so many.

You will not, however, need to press your nose against Tim’s windowpane, to get a squizz at this particularly tempt-ing food event; you can sco� snags out in the laneway, and accompany it with beer or bubbles of your own.

Call it a satellite event. While Heathcote is hopping with

this, their second year of gathering the region’s sausage-makers and boutique brewers of wine and beer, the laneway in downtown Bendigo will be sizzling too.

Tim, the bespectacled man with the electric-shock hairdo, is behind the Chancery Lane enoteca (an Italian word for winebar).

Married to Anita Jack who runs the Dragon Museum, and with two small

children, Tim is a busy fellow. He talks at a million miles an hour, to keep up with all the ideas in his head.

He says the speed at which he de-livers all the plans he has brewing has something to do with being brought up in Bendigo. Everyone talks like that, he reckons.

Not, it is to be hoped, if they have a gourmet sausage in their gob. Or if they are slurping down a freshly shucked oyster.

“I’m going to keep it simple,” Tim says.

“While the formal lunch is going on inside, we’ll have the laid-back fam-ily event in the lane, cooking four or � ve types of artisan snags, mostly made in our kitchen,” he says.

“It will be just like a big barbie – hopefully not too busy!”

Tim bemoans the parmigiana men-tality that has so long – and so persis-tently – dominated the food landscape in Bendigo, and doesn’t hold back on how dull that is.

But it doesn’t take long for him to kickstart into his can-do mode.

This is his year of events, he says. The Snag, Beer and Bubble satellite

event will be followed, the next Friday, with a six-course degustation dinner matched not with beer but with whisky.

Tim has invited importer and enthu-siast Graham Wright to host this dinner, which he’ll follow up with a Scottish Malt Whisky masterclass the next day.

Matching food with whisky sounds like a tricky endeavour: Tim says you think about what produce you might � nd in Scotland and work from there.

So, for instance, some of the whis-kies are quite briny and you’d match those with, say, Japanese food. The “grassy” ones go well, too, with seafood, but the gamey, smokey ones (more what you’d expect) can be served with venison or lamb.

He’d like to serve haggis, but “I want people to come”, so that’s a miss.

Two surprises are in store for the whisky diners: one is the frozen honey and whisky dessert, using whisky aged in French barrels; the other will be the opening of a 1983 bottle of Port Ellen Old Malt. If you’re ooh-ahing, you prob-ably know why that’s special.

Then, on the last Friday of March,

he’ll hold his inaugural Ladies Who Lunch event, which he says is open to fellows too, if they please.

He hopes to tap into the increasingly important networks of not just working women but also those at home or in the community.

Down the track, Tim would also like to try what would be a giant paella event. He would do a variation on one

of his most popular Dispensary dishes, serve it up in the laneway with suitable accompanying beverages.

“I like that idea, it would be fun,” he says.

“Some things may not work, but we can give it a try.”

You’ll � nd The Dispensary recipe for paella on the Bendigo Weekly website (go to Food Fossickers).

Apparently, the original recipe for the whisky was lost, and this discovery may lead to its replication.

THERE was a gaggle of books written by so-called experts and insiders following those harrowing months

when, we were told, the global � nancial crisis was about to change the way our economies functioned. That so little has actually changed to prevent the kind of lunacy that caused the meltdown is astounding. And if you want to get an idea of how it happened, without being bored into submission by econo-speak, you will enjoy Michael Lewis’s alarmingly entertaining The Big Short. Just out in paperback (and sporting a stupid cover that has almost no relation to the content), this book describes how the hot-shots coming out of American business schools got so wealthy so fast, they lost both their decency and their sense. Governments turn their faces to the wall as this hyper-active posse of madpeople, pumped up on such catchcries as “interest-only negative-amortising adjustable-rate subprime mortages”, galloped towards disaster. That it was disastrous mostly for poor people, and not the vile human beings who played the banks like a poker game, is deeply depressing.Reviewed by Rosemary Sorensen.
