New Music: Adapt or Die 'Dream Control'

Adapt or Die - 'Dream Control' EP out on Sweat It Out May 31st.

What of the music? It's bangs, yet is deep, it's techno, but with groove, it makes you squint your eyes and pull that serious head, but at the same time, bob it half time, as if to emphasise how much you love it. Make no mistake, their ain't no b-side on this release.

In the left corner we have Tony Mitolo, founding member of the Swiss, and otherwise found banging on drums for Pnau and Empire of the Sun no less. In the right corner we have Alex Gooden, also a touring member of Empire and Pnau and add to that, Gypsy and the Cat, Bluejuice and Spank Rock to name but a few. Bonding in Berlin in 07 whilst touring with Pnau, the only question we want to know, is why did it take them this long to make music together?

Get Adapt or Die's 'Dream Control' EP on Sweat It Out - available everywhere from May 31st.

Drama Queens with Love Scenes

After eight drafts and a short lived self-published edition (three months all up), Kevin Klehr’s novel, Drama Queens with Love Scenes, scored a book contract with Boston based publisher, Charles River Press. The Australian novel was one of the first to be released through their latest imprint, Cambridge Press US. Another three months of rewrites meant the comic tale of 'gay unrequited love in the Afterlife' was ready for release. Since then, the bloggers have been talking - 

“Oh how I loved this book. The humour was right up my alley and the drama was never ending. Within the first few chapters my mouth was literally agape…” 5 Stars, Two Girls Reading

"I am still puzzled by this book! There were points in the story at which I wanted to have an Allan-type tantrum, slam my Kindle closed and never return to the book; then I would be so captivated by the plot and fall so deeply in love with the characters that the thought of being without them was overwhelming!" 4 Stars, Kirsty Vizard, All in One Place

"I’m speechless… Wow! What an ending?!…. It left me absolutely speechless!..."

5 Stars, Pati May, Amazon Reviewer  

This novel has been a labour of love, starting out as a handwritten story in a bound journal about eight years ago. It then underwent three professional assessments until finally being revamped for its new publisher. Also keep an eye out for a series of three free stories based on every reviewer's favourite character, Guy the Angel.

GURRUMUL: His Life And Music.

GURRUMUL: HIS LIFE AND MUSIC
BY ROBERT HILLMAN

"THE ILLUSTRATED BIOGRAPHY OF ONE OF THE MOST INSPIRING MUSIC STORIES OF OUR GENERATION"

Part road trip, part biography, award-winning biographer Robert Hillman takes you from the world's great concert halls and recording studios and into Yolngu heartland -- to reveal the story and inspirations behind Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu's international success and fame. Through his own lyrics, in interviews with family, friends and fellow musicians, and time spent on the road with Gurrumul himself, this is a very Australian story of how the former drummer from Yothu Yindi, a double-bass player from Melbourne, and a wool classer from everywhere, meet on Elcho Island in 1996 and combined their talents and optimism to reveal an astonishing musical gift - that has left audiences all over the world spellbound.

Featuring previously unpublished images from Gurrumul's childhood and images from some of the world's best rock photographers, Gurrumul: His Life and Music provides in words, pictures and song, unforgettable insight into the story of one of Australia's most original performers. It also includes an exclusive CD of remixed songs from his bestselling albums Gurrumul and Rrakala, featuring rare remixes of the songs 'Bäpa' and 'Gurrumul History (I was Born Blind)' and 'Warwu'.
