CASS MCCOMBS

Perth Festival Gardens
Monday, February 20, 2012

Over the last few years California-born singer-songwriter Cass McCombs has built a good-size following by holding back: his voice is a well-worn croak; his folky arrangements are unabashedly old-fashioned; his songs usually build toward nothing stronger than a shrug. And on Monday night he filled up the Perth Festival Gardens: not only with the usual self-effacing indie rockers, but also with some more vociferous fans (proof, perhaps, that his appeal extends beyond the indie subculture). One concertgoer was even overheard loudly describing McCombs as “phenomenal!”

DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE

Perth Festival Gardens
Saturday, February 18, 2012

From those humble days in Bellingham, even the members of Death Cab For Cutie would never have expected that they would one day be regarded as one of the most consistent live bands going around. The band clearly take their live show seriously as they recreate their records with ease from their alcohol free stage where they ensure that as a punter, you always know what you are going to get.

CALIFORNIA DREAMING

It seems that California is a pretty chilled place. There have been enough bands, trends and cultures to come out of there just to prove that; and Wavves is no exception. The San Diego natives’ charismatic sound and cheeky lyrics embody everything we have come to expect from sunny state. The boys came to our shores for the first time last year and it seems like they can’t get enough because they are back this year showcasing their two albums King of the Beach and Life Sux. Luckily, fans will have the opportunity to catch their blissed beats not once but twice this year with the recent announcement of a solo sideshow at the Rosemount Hotel on Friday, May 18, in addition to their show at the Groovin’ the Moo festival in Bunbury on Saturday, May 19. Tickets the show at the Rosemont Hotel are available from Heatseeker and tickets to the Groovin’ The Moo are available from Oztix and gtm.net.au.

CINEMA AMONG THE STARS

Cinephiles will ascend to new heights this month when Artrage opens Perth’s first sky-high cinema – Rooftop Movies.

Overlooking Perth city and Northbridge, Rooftop Movies is sure to become a fast favourite of film aficionados, with double features on Fridays and Saturdays and Belly Laugh Wednesdays offering live comedy pre and post film. Expect to see much loved flicks such as Casablanca, Dr Strangelove, The Big Lebowski, Sin City, Spirited Away and Revenge Of The Nerds projected onto the big screen during the cinema’s first month of operation.
