Frontman of veteran Californian punk band No Use For a Name, Tony Sly, has died at the age of 41. Tributes have included the bands label boss, Fat Wreck Chords, and NOFX frontman Fat Mike - one of my dearest friends and favourite song writers has gone way too soon. Tony, you will be greatly missed. Sly joined No Use for a Name as frontman in 1989 and released nine albums with the band and five sole albums, two of which were recorded in cooperation with Lagwagons Joey Cape. No cause of death has been disclosed.

DIE VS CITY

Billy Bragg, the Bard from Barking, famously started out as a tank driver in the British Army. Things didnt work out When youve driven one tank, youve driven them all and in early 1982 he found himself back on the streets of Barking, writing songs. Drawing inspiration from the DIY ethos of punk rock, he decided to take on the world singlehandedly, armed with only an electric guitar. Braggs songs were more punk than folk and hes often described his earliest incarnation as a one-man Clash. His first album, Lifes a Riot with Spy vs Spy came out in 1983. Bragg was politicised by Rock Against Racism in the late 1970s. He marshalled his songs in opposition to Margaret Thatcher, supporting the miners when they went on strike in 1984 and subsequently founding Red Wedge, a collective of left wing musicians who campaigned for the defeat of Thatcher at the 1987 election. Throughout his career, Billy Bragg has remained contemporary, providing his insightful, clear-eyed yet hopeful commentary on our times through social, political and technological change. Although often defined by his political songs, Bragg is also a writer of great love songs. He said I write about the things make me angry: sometimes its the government, sometimes its the girl. His songs describe the emotional peaks and troughs of love, navigating the difficult terrain of modern relationships. 2012 marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Woody Guthrie, folk singer and dust-bowl troubadour, a prolific writer whose songs, ballads,

prose and poetry championed the plight of the underdog. Bragg has a special musical affinity with Woody a and has dedicated the first half of his show in his honour when Woodys daughter Nora unearthed a treasure trove of her fathers unrecorded lyrics after his death, Bragg and Wilco worked together setting these to music, creating the critically acclaimed Mermaid Avenue albums. The Complete Sessions has just been released, including Mermaid Avenue Vol. III. Bragg will play songs from Woodys extensive repertoire as well as the Mermaid Avenue albums, giving audiences new insights into one of the most influential figures in popular music, a man who inspired artists from Bob Dylan to Joe Strummer, as well as Bragg himself. In the shows second half, Bragg will take a trip through his back catalogue. In nearly three decades of performing and activism, Bragg, described recently by the London Times as a national treasure, has crafted an incredible collection of songs traversing the personal and the political. A guardian of the radical dissenting tradition that stretches back over centuries of political, cultural, and social history, Bragg is a consummate performer and gifted raconteur. His live shows, like his songs, are funny, warm, sad and true.

So if lighting one up and bobbing on the spot is your thing, let Katchafire warm your winter perhaps with the help of some friends.

Before there was Scribe and PNC, Upper Hutt Posse were the pioneers of rap and hip-hop with the countrys first rap song in 1988.

Live vicariously through four lovely women (not sisters) who can actually make string instruments sound like music and not total shit.

Suddenly more famous as the result of a tabloid media-fuelled album release, freshly out star Frank ocean famous for many things, including work with that group odd future, who got infamously scratched from Aucklands 2012 Big Day out because of homophobia has kerb-stomped the rule book for hip-hop convention. Riding on the waves of his 2011 mixtape nostalgia, ULTRA, Oceans career is built on songwriting for some casual buds such as John Legend (Bieber too, kids) and collaborating with heavyweights including Jay-Z. His debut album, Channel Orange, has been anxiously anticipated by critics, musicians and fans alike. So, should you buy into the hype? Yes. Although Channel Orange debuted at number two in the UK, it will be a surprise if any of the tracks spend time being relentlessly bashed on the airwaves. The album is good really good but is far from the bassheavy or catchy 16 bars that usually break out. Its meticulously crafted and soulfully personal brave even. The debut is, in most cases, a defining moment in a musicians career. Aside from being a step from poverty to regular eating, its their first opportunity to offload. More often than not, its doused in an emotional rawness that will rarely be repeated. Oceans is screaming for attention, checking boxes from reviewer to reviewer defined, inspired, seductive and fresh. Channel Orange is a poignant poetic dissemination, wrapped in layers of truth, delivered in a way that hints at a personal affinity with hip-hop. The lyrical content is poised, polished

and restrained enough to achieve the one thing that characterises a good musician: accessibility. Its all very cleverly hidden in an easy listening R&B style. The first couple of listens will dance over the top of your head. Youll groove along to some sweet, chill melodies without even realising its not a very happy album. Thinkin Bout You evokes comparisons with the graceful, relaxing ambience associated with John Legend. Then when you actually listen to it, it reveals itself as a bitter piece of prose, littered with metaphors and even allusion about unreciprocated first love. Bitterness is a theme repeated. Notable tracks include Pyramids. Gliding from dub-step to guitar solo, its a carefully compiled 10-minute wonder superficially about hookers (it also gives off vibes about the exploitation of Africans that could fill an essay). Super Rich Kids ranks highly, possibly inspired by a fusion of Supertramp with The Chemical Brothers, it features Earl Sweatshirt and is an ode for the disaffected silver-spoon-fed. Forrest Gump is one of the tunes that pricked the ears of the oh-no-its-gay brigade (fair in a genre associated with heteronormativity). Its a sentimental outro with a hauntedorgan lurking in the background of some cleverly moulded beats, echoes, whistles and sound delivered to another powerful set of lyrics. Channel Orange is a demonstration of one suave mo-fo and a testament to his fore-boding reputation. Listen to it that includes you too white kids.

There are some things that are guaranteed to be in a Step Up film clichd characters, bad acting, astonishingly attractive people but the one thing audiences expect from the franchise is incredible dancing. While youre forced to take the good with the laughably bad, Step Up 4: Miami Heat 3D delivers on the franchises promise as well as the films title (and what a title it is, read it aloud with me: Step Up 4: Miami Heat 3D). We follow a flash mob dance crew (unimaginatively called The Mob) seeking recognition through various social media sources. But when some big-shot businessman tries to tear down their neighbourhood, The Mob attempt to prevent his plans through the power of dance.

premises of Tower Heist and Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo, youd get Step Up 4. The generically derivative story borders on hilarity, but luckily the film never pretends it is Oscar material, rushing through the requisite plot elements and interrupting them nicely with whats really important the dance sequences. The creativity on display here is amplified by the viral marketing angle and at one point, a sequence sees the crew break into an art exhibition and camouflage themselves as sculptures that come to life one-by-one. You never believe for a second that theyd get away with the stunts they pull, but theyre such a joy to watch that youre bound to not care.

Dont be put off by the name golf pleats are not a prerequisite. It feels like you have popped a gazebo up in your backyard, but this one has a bar, a sweet dinner set up and an area of petanque. I kid you not. Word on the street is their Friday night pitchers of red and white sangria is tops.

NEIGHBOURHOOD MACS BREWBAR

498 new north road, kingsLand, aUckLand

My first experience of House on Hood was rocking up one Saturday night to experience what can only be described as a pub house party. Its the best party house on the block. Atmosphere ranges from chilled and low-key during the day, to rowdy front-yard parties to cover bands at night.

hipster friendLy
Macs bars up and down the country are legendary for solid pub food without clich old English-style country feel. There have been many drunken nights out in Macs Brewbar, barefoot dancing on the astroturf pretending MGMT video. Anyways fresh and funky, Neighbourhood is nestled in the heart of Kingsland in an old converted garage site and they have it covered whether it is getting ready for the big one or recovering from the night before. Check in for some sweet beats with Aucklands finest DJs, then lax out and undo the top button of your jeans with their hearty Sunday roasts.

Joining the race for Super-flick of the Year, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter weaves another layer to the biography of americas 16th president. it promises to end the run of the sleazy vampires that have clambered about the silver screen for way too long now by arming honest abe with an axe and some sweet new kung-fu inspired moves. Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is a film adaptation of a piece of bio-fiction, conceived by author and screen-writer Seth grahame-Smith during his 2009 tour promoting previous book Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. grahame-Smith was led to fusing history with vampires by something as simple as display tables. that year marked the bicentennial of Lincolns birth and many of the bookstores on my promotional tour had two displays: one featured books about Lincolns life; the other was a vampire-themed display, including Twilight and Sookie Stackhouse books (upon which True-Blood is based). it led me to think about combining the two subjects. the 2010 tome caught the eyes of hollywood before it was even finished. AL:VH producer and famed director tim Burton (Edward Scissorhands, Batman returns, Dark Shadows) decided it was the type of movie he wanted to see. it felt like it could have the crazy energy of the films of my youth, which had a lot of weird mash-ups of horror movies. What makes this movie particularly interesting is that the director hails from russia originally and here he is with his hands on the reigns of a portrayal of one of americas most precious historical figures. Director timur Bekmambetov (Wanted, Night Watch) was originally going to be a producer on the film, until Burton encouraged him to take control because he wanted to see Bekmambetovs version of the story. a big plus was that timur is from another country, so he provides a different perspective on these characters and historical events, says Burton. Lincoln has been given the superhero treatment in this film. he is presented as the USas first superhero. Burton said, Lincolns entire life mirrors the classic comic book superhero mythology. its a duality: during the day hes the president of the United States; at night, a vampire hunter. grahame-Smith adds, Lincolns life story is an archetypical superhero origin story. hes as close to an actual superhero as this countrys [USa] ever seen. Forget about vampires. Lincoln had neither family name nor

money. his mother died when he was a youngster. in fact, everybody he loved had died. With no education and armed with just his mind, he became the president and saved the nation. twenty nine-year-old Broadway actor Benjamin Walker takes on the role of Lincoln after nailing the famous gettysburg address in screen-testing. he has taken on the role of abraham Lincoln: president and human. Whats dangerous about playing an icon is not allowing the character to be human, Walker says. You must allow the character to be vulnerable or even silly. Luckily tim [Burton] and timur were open to making abraham a flawed, funny and conflicted man. the plot of the film unravels as young Lincolns mother, nancy, contracts a disease of unknown origin he knows its a vampire bite. nancy was paramount in instilling Lincolns morality, giving him the words, until everyone is free, we are all slaves. this poignant moment in history is also where he came to hate-on his nemesis, his mothers killer and vampire Jack Barts. Barts is played by invercargill-born Marton csokas (Shortland Street, Xena, Aeon Flux) and is an addition to the films story. the film unravels as a life-long shit fight between these two characters that evolves into a greater war between humanity and vampires over who gets the rights to the nation disguised by the US civil war. Special effects were provided by Weta Workshop, but the greatest emphasis has been placed on the action sequences. they were born miles away from the USa in Kazakhstan, out of the mind of fight choreographer igor tsay and his acting School of Fighting Kun-Do. the weaponry (axes, knives, guns and rifles) were all authentically reproduced according to 19th century methods. girls, you can take your partner to this one so its got one up on Twilight.

on the BacK of their successful north american tour, Sola rosa are bringing their summery sound to our rough new Zealand winter on their first home tour in two and a half years. getting back into the country at stupid oclock the day before our chat, producer andrew Spraggon sounds weary and tired, but is eager to share his stories from the road. originally scheduled to head to canada for a one-off show last year, things went pear-shaped and the band pulled out due to the booking agent being a bit of a dick. But since making the right connections, the whole thing turned into a happy accident, resulting in the recent tour, which took them from Whistler, to Seattle, Los angeles and everything in between. We were focused on europe like a lot of other Kiwi bands and it seemed where most of the interest was, but this just happened by total accident. it was wicked and almost not long enough for me. aside from battling insanely hot weather of a californian summer, the tour was a success, drawing a positive reception from both first timers and long-term dedicated fans. We would meet people afterwards and found some die hard fans over there, says andrew. there were always people who had driven for miles to see us. i still get surprised. im too close to the music, so it always blows me away when people are that dedicated. their sixth studio album, Low and Behold, High and Beyond, marks three summers worth of writing Most of the writing is done over summer. i write when i feel more positive and when im in a good headspace but thats about to change. Previously shutting himself away in his auckland home (it doubles as a studio), andrew says now they plan to tour more, and changing technology means capturing the vibe and energy of a life on the road is getting easier. i have begun to write on the road a lot more, andrew explains. i wrote a bunch of beats when i was in La. it takes on a different vibe than anything i would have written in new Zealand. its the start of a new process. i think its great when youre on tour, theres not a lot of downtime, you sleep for anywhere between four to five hours and with every album the band is collaborating more and more when we are on tour. the album also marks a change in their sound, shifting away from the reggae and Latin beats in favour of hip-hop and nu-soul. i dont really ever have a direction, i just know what i dont want to do, laughs andrew which is usually a reaction to getting pigeon holed by the previous album. Get It Together had a lot of labels pinned to it like world music, Latin and reggae and i thought, i dont want to do that again. i stopped listening to a lot of reggae. i didnt hear anything progressive that i liked and with so much here, we dont need to be another Kiwi reggae band. ill leave that to others. after the nationwide tour wraps up, its off to australia in September for eight weeks, then back to US and europe before heading home for new Zealands own summer. So whats the key to keeping it going? i dont have a secret, i just try to stay healthy, eat well and basically do what im told, he muses. WRITTEn BY LAuRA WEASER

Like the very best puzzlers, Quantum Conundrum takes a handful of simple concepts, mashes them together, turns them inside out and comes up with situations and solutions that makes your brain beg for mercy. snap. puzzle time. Youre the twelve-year-old nephew of Professor Quadwrangle. Visiting your uncle for the holidays, you find a mansion full of flying furniture, multiple dimensions and a disembodied voice trying desperately to figure out what the hell went wrong. Before you know it, your uncle is directing you towards a gauntlet that lets you master the mansions four dimensions and you start puzzling your way through the mindbending madness. And there is a lot of mind-bending going on. Within the mansion, there are four different physical states that can be activated. The first one is the fluffy dimension. When this is active, everything become 10 times lighter. Everything, that is, except for you. So you can activate the fluffy dimension with your gauntlet, pick up a safe and throw it at a window.

WALKMAN CAN
By Sony
IF YOuRE A POOR STuDEnT AnD EnJOY LISTEnInG TO YOuR OWn MuSIC AnD THE RADIO, IT S TIME TO PuT YOuR IPHOnE EnVY ASIDE AnD GET A WALKMAn. IT S PORTABLE FOR COMMuTERS AnD HAS 18 HOuRS BATTERY LIFE (AnD QuICK RECHARGInG), FM TunER AnD VOICE/FM RECORDInG FunCTIOn. RRP $69.00 JBHIFI.CO.nz

If it hits the window in its fluffy state, nothing happens. The trick is to switch off the fluffy dimension while the safe is in flight. The safe regains its mass, while maintaining its momentum and smashes the window. There are three other tricks hidden in your uncles glove. Theres the heavy dimension, where everything is 10 times heavier, the slow dimension, where everything goes slow (duh) and the reverse gravity dimension. Youll spend hours building bridges with fluffy furniture stuck to the walls with giant fans, riding safes into the air as you turn off the gravity, or walking over furniture frozen in the air. Its very, very smart. The presentation doesnt quite live up to the games IQ. The whole first person view gets frustrating being unable to see your feet is really awkward. Also, the professors continuous chatter sometimes leans more towards annoying than helpful. Rooms all look the same and the story stumbles all youre left with is a series of very good puzzles. But it is a very good series of puzzles. And the games just so smart that, every time you play, your IQ will go up at least ten points - or youll have to go for a lie down in a dark room because your brain hurts.

whats the ethos of your store/clothing line? I make clothes for women who value style, great cut and quality over fad-based fast fashion. My aim is to create favourite wardrobe pieces for years to come and I have a commitment to making them in New Zealand. Selector clothing is a mash-up of beautiful silhouettes, vibrant colours, prints and plains on mostly natural fibre fabrics. which historical figure had some wicked style? Deborah Harry had and still has it. Need I say more! what muso/celebrity has style up the wazoo? Tabatha Coffey, the hair stylist. She has a great taste in silhouettes, which really appeals to me. Although her outfits are almost exclusively black which could easily translate to boring she wears an array of textures and layers, which accentuates the line of the clothing and keeps it interesting. Teamed with a shock of white hair and statement shoes. colours/patterns big this season? I have favoured tangerine and scarlet this winter to give some life to the winter gloom. Also, I love charcoal in lieu of black as a softer option for the winter complexion and as a fabulous contrast to make colours pop. Print-wise, its a mix of sun, polka and graphic. what are the essentials for a mans wardrobe? I think as men in general tend to buy less on mass every season than women, having a variety of well-cut shirts in good quality fabrics are the most practical items for a mans wardrobe. Throw together with a pair of favourite well-cut jeans/ pants and a jacket, and voila would cover most dress codes in New Zealand. what are the essentials for a ladys wardrobe? At the moment warm and weatherproof! Ideally, a scoop-neck and/or slim fit merino top. Tuniclength tops and tights are the ultimate base for layering over and for getting mileage out of the rest of your wardrobe. They are also are a great way to wear slinky layers. Also on the list: a selection of cosy knits, casual/ work and special occasion dresses, tailored pants and jackets, and a fab winter coat. To top it all off and help give an outfit personality, a collection of great boots and shoes, and accessories such as jewelry, scarves and hats. hyphenate three words to describe your style: Chic-versus-street.

How did you get into this line of work? as a young child i was given a magic set for christmas and it was in my late teens/early 20s that i started mixing psychology and hypnosis together. i initially became a cosmetic scientist [someone who invents womens make-up] of all things. i went to college cause my parents told me to go because they didnt think i could make a living as an entertainer. after two and a half years doing that i just got completely fed up with it. i jumped into this full-time, so thats going back around twelve years now and havent looked back since, thankfully. The term brain-hacker, what does that mean exactly? i dont really believe in mind reading and i dont believe in psychics, so thats why ive coined the term brain-hacking. What i do is use the five known senses to create the illusion of a sixth sense. So our brains are safes or computers, in other words. Some safes only have a two to three digit combination theyre quite easy to hack into if you know anything about safes. other safes are electronic and have a 10 to 12 digit combination depending on what they are holding inside and they are very difficult to hack into. Would you describe it as a form of magic per say? Or is it more science based? no, its definitely more science based now. With magic, its sleight of hand. You always know the outcome is going to be exact. this is a science and you dont know the exact outcome until you actually try and hack into someones brain. it is what it is, which is reading peoples body language eye movements, subtle cues, facial cues, micro-expressions. Does that mean youre reading me right now? Yeah and youve got a lot of interesting thoughts i have to tell you, Laura. the viewers at home might want to find out about (laughs). Can you share any? (Laughs) i would say that you are a very obsessive person, almost compulsively so. Youre a bit of a neat freak as well i would say you keep your cDs in alphabetical order, also externally youre quite confident, but internally you suffer from your nerves and you would want to work on that. also, i see a big change coming up soon with you, i wont say where that change is because your boss might not be happy that, but there is a big change coming up for you soon. Wow, thats actually quite amazing. I didnt realize you were reading me the whole time. Yeah, i read everybody. theres a cameraman and a sound girl in front of us and one of you three people in my peripheral vision is cheating on their partner. and now they are all looking at each other like which one (laughs) (Laughs) that threw me off! im nervous now.

Obviously with your kind of work, even though its not magic, youll still encounter people that are cynical. Is it fun to bust them once youve read them? im a skeptic myself. i dont believe in psychics. So i quite enjoy when i get a skeptic into a room because they think very linearly for the most part. they just want to figure out how something is done and they will go to what they consider to be the most logical conclusion, but the most logical conclusion is invariably always wrong, so i use that against them. You have a lot of celebrities that you do a lot of stuff with. Was there a particular person you enjoyed working with? Sir Bob geldof was interesting because he was such a cynic when he came in. he was grumpy old chap, to be honest, and it was interesting to see the transition of him being a skeptic into a fan by the end. that was kind of interesting from the point of view that it was a challenge. Keanu reeves sticks out too. he completely freaked out because hes got a phobia of mentalism and magic, so he ran out of a restaurant and never came back. he literally went, i cant see a thing, i cant watch this and ran! it was kind of interesting to see him running away from all of his friends and family. Has anything gone wrong for you? things go wrong all the time, but as a good mentalist, you should always have a couple of escape routes that the audience isnt aware of. You always think that nothing is going wrong, but really things can go wrong all the time. i remember one time i was on with Jimmy Kimmel in the US. i was performing magic at the time this is going back around seven or eight years ago and i do this thing when i pop a black-eyed bean in my ear canal, squeeze it along the side of my face and allow you to feel it, then i pop it out my eye duct and i lost the bean down my ear canal. it went all the way down and stopped at my eardrum. So for you show in New Zealand this week, what shall we expect? its a mixture of me hacking into peoples brains and planting thoughts, extracting thoughts, comedy, mentalism, hypnotism, profanity, and nudity. Dont come if youre easily offended. its a night of escapism from everyday life and just to remember what it was to wonder again. i want to see people laughing until their faces hurt and in the same breath, i want to see them amazed as well. to leave the theatre looking at each other going how did he do that? So its a night of fun, but its a night of wonder and amazement. WRITTEn BY LAuRA WEASER
