Tame Impala Get The Big J

Perth rockers Tame Impala have put the perfect exclamation point on a massive year by taking out album of the year at Triple J’s annual shindig The J Awards, for their debut album Innerspeaker. A big congrats to the lads along with Innnerspeaker engineer Tim Holmes (Death In Vegas) and producer Dave Fridmann (Flaming Lips, MGMT) for such brilliant work!

It was just over 18 months ago that Tame Impala featured on a Ben Sherman’s Big British Sound in Sydney – an event that shines the light on up and coming Aussie bands. The bill featured amongst others, Little Red & Art Vs Science, however it’s been Tame Impala that have shone bright amongst their contemporaries.

Get Him to the Greek DVD giveaway

 

Get Him to the Greek, the latest comedy from powerhouse producer Judd Apatow, reunites Jonah Hill and Russell Brand with Forgetting Sarah Marshall director Nicholas Stoller. The hilarious comedy follows the story of a record company executive with two days to drag an uncooperative rock legend to Hollywood for a crucial comeback concert which will hopefully revive his career and save the flailing record company.

British rocker Aldous Snow (Brand) is both a brilliant musician and a walking sex-god who is looking for the meaning of life and love. 23 year-old Aaron Greenberg (Hill) is an ambitious rookie who has just been handed an impossible mission - fly to London and escort Aldous to L.A.'s Greek Theatre. His special instructions: turn back your back on him at your own peril.

Universal Pictures are giving away 20 copies of Get Him to the Greek DVDs. To get yours, simply tell us in 25 words or less, about your most stressful day at work.

Lower Dens

 

Since there is music everywhere with the summer festivals in full swing, it's time to trainspot the next big thing. Since the hot weather is setting in, it's time for a bit of a cool northern hemisphere blast. We're not going to hang any accolades on Lower Dens; we'll let the Baltimore 4 piece do their own talking. Swarming guitar fuzz, bass waves, Jana Hunter's voice, and insistent drum throbs are the core components of Lower Dens. Hunter, sometimes known for intimate, ghost-heavy weird-fi, is now writing and playing with a group that might get filed as new wave or drone pop, or post-punk. With due deference to her solo work, we're very glad.

They have about 700 friends on myspace, we suggest you have listen now before its 70,000. We think they'll make their way to Australian shores sometime in 2011, we'll keep you posted:

Who loves him most?

For anyone who missed out on last month’s The Loved Ones movie ticket giveaway, fear not, we’re now offering a ticket giveaway in store.

THE LOVED ONES is a vivid, sexy rollercoaster of a ride that takes the conventions of horror and runs them off the rails. Starring: Xavier Samuel (The Twilight Saga: Eclipse), Robin McLeavy (48 Shades), John Brumpton (Last Ride, Underbelly), Richard Wilson (Clubland), Victoria Thaine (48 Shades, Two Twisted), Jessica McNamee (Packed to the Rafters).

Brent (Samuel) has never recovered from the night of the car crash that killed his father: the crash that he was responsible for. His only solace is his loving girlfriend Holly (Thaine). But there’s another girl who yearns to comfort Brent, the quietest girl in school Lola (McLeavy), and when he turns down her invitations to the dance he enters a nightmare beyond imagining.

Spend $50 or more in-store and receive a 2-for-1 movie ticket to THE LOVED ONES.
