The Flaming Lips have announced the long-awaited release of The Terror, their thirteenth studio album at the end of March. The album comprised of nine original compositions that reflect a darker-hued spectrum than previous works, along with a more inward-looking lyrical perspective than one might expect. Wayne Coyne explains, Why would we make this music that is The Terror this bleak, disturbing record? I dont really want to know the answer that I think is coming.

Moody joined the WWE in 1990 and quickly became associated with The Undertaker, a character who claimed he was undead and boasted of mystical powers. Paul Bearer later managed Undertakers on-screen half brother Kane. He also managed the bad-guy character Mick Mankind Foley.

Director Sam Mendes has said he will not direct the next James Bond film and wants to focus on theatre projects in the future. The most recent Bond film Skyfall had major success at the box office, grossing more than US$1.1 billion globally, but that hasnt swayed Mendes to stick with the franchise. Directing Skyfall was one of the best experiences of my professional life, but I have theatre and other commitments, including productions of Charlie And The Chocolate Factory and King Lear, that need my complete focus over the next year and beyond.

Still hitting it long after the 90s have been and gone, Juice TV & Radio Hauraki are excited to present pop rock legends The Presidents of the United States of America live for one show only. And, would you believe, they are playing their classic, five-time platinum, self-titled debut album in its entirety .

@peaces second release has the outfit creating a record that expands on their hybrid of beats and flow, making Girl Songs a more cohesive, fully realised effort than their dbut. Whilst their self-titled EP cut a fine line between rap and funk instrumental breaks, like on the stellar Home, this one presents something harder to pin down. To the uninitiated, this may sound like an extension of Tom Scotts misfit group Homebrew, which could be assigned to the two singles Cake and Flowers, but under the surface it possesses a raw and brooding quality, with an emphasis on laid back funk grooves and straight laced rhymes contributed by both Scott and Lui Tuiasau. Nineties rap commandeers the flow, and though the boys probably wouldnt accept the conscious rap tag, it comes to mind A Tribe Called Quest and Common particularly. Girl Songs also boasts old school, neo-soul instrumentation that harkens back to older realms of influence. Cake sounds like grimy production from late seventies Isley Brothers, Cats Like Fish borrows hung over Gaye funk, whilst intro Bar Stool Balancing Act opens with Scotts recognisable drawl before trickling into a section that sounds like DAngelo on the piano after a pack of Port Royals. Midnight has a beautiful instrumental, almost a jazzy lilt, before breaking into chopped drums and original samples. Tuiasau particularly stands out on this track, a worthy, harder component to Scotts eccentric Kiwi style. These influences

can be heard from the outset but on repeated listens, it becomes something only @peace can pull off. The second half of the album is dense, experimental. 2 Die 4 is an anomaly and the most intriguing cut. Creeping, backwards guitar licks and multi-tracked singing/spitting make this a weird standout something entirely singular in their repertoire. Wandering has a steady, summery vibe, which would be a good follow up single. Its an introspective cut, breezy and gentle. This vibe comes to a head on closing track My Dad, an unsettling track that invites interpretation. All up, Homebrew this is not. @ peace have created their own path, their own sound, a mixing pot of summery soul, funk, ghostly R&B and chilled rhymes. Still something New Zealanders can call their own, but this may take off overseas before we know it. Girl Songs gets things done, not only for Kiwi rap, but Kiwi music this shouldnt be tagged so easily. A solid follow up.

GENERAL RELEASE

Reining in his trademark dark excesses, director Sam Raimis prequel is both a satisfying set up to the 1939 classic and an appropriate homage. But while many modern audience members will be pleased that this is virtually shorn of musical interludes, its also light on lightness save for James Francos nearpermanent grin. And although the story is similar to the original with its Kansan resident joined by a coalition of the broken and the missing for a battle against witches it actually feels more like a Star Wars prequel with its gathering evil forces and one characters journey to the dark side. Despite none of them being likely to

attract the same audience as Judy Garland has, Raimi has gathered a fine trio of spellcasters. Williams is winsome, Weisz suitably wicked and Kunis is a clear winner with her complex character that allows her to prove that she really is Meg off Family Guy. Following the same monochrome/ Technicolour mix of Wizard, Raimis Oz is a world of brilliant blues, vivid reds and enchanting emeralds. And as well as his traditional swirling, whirling cameras he also makes good use of 3D, throwing everything from spears to flying baboons at the audience.

MICHAEL CHuGG HAS EXPERIENCED ROCK N ROLL AT IT S LOWEST AND HIGHEST. WE SPOKE TO THE VERY SuCCESSFuL PROMOTER ABOuT HIS CAREER BEFORE HIS SHOWS ROBERT PLANT, PAuL SIMON, SANTANA AND MORE JuMP THE DITCH TO KIWILAND IN THE uPCOMING WEEKS.

UsUally, Im on the end of a microphone, interviewing bands and acts that are touring, releasing new stuff or making some kind of splash. But its not often I actually get to talk to the man, the guy that makes them, breaks them and puts them on that stage. In town to promote santana, steve miller, Robert Plant, Paul simon and others, my two-hour phone interview with this particular man was the possibly best business decision I ever made. agent, manager, concert promoter michael Chuggie Chugg has been promoting bands for nearly fifty years. He has been behind some of the biggest concert tours in australasia, but hes also a tireless promoter of australian music to the rest of the world. Chugg began in Tasmania in the 60s, running dances and local bands. The first gig he organised was for his cycling club in launceston, at the age of 15. I just started working a furniture shop with the bass player in the top (local) band called The Dominos. I got them and another, The Chevrons, together at the local trades hall, we had a dance and made 80 for the club. I thought, this is pretty good, I might do this a bit more, so, I started running dances and managing The Chevrons. From there he saved his money up to help other locals get into the melbourne music scene. Eventually he made the permanent move to melbourne where he met up with future industry lawyer, co-promoter and long time friend, michael Gudinski and another guy called michael Browning (who went on to manage aC/DC). They formed an agency called Consolidated Rock. That later led to a move to aussies big player Premiere artists, working with stalwart Paul Dainty, and finally a split to create an independent agency promoting new Wave acts like Rick ocasek, Elvis Costello and The Clash. That became the Frontier Touring Company. and away we went. Its now the biggest outfit in australia, and since Id left to start Chugg Entertainment, is the biggest pain in my ass! Chuggs brash audience harangues started out of necessity on stage in auckland during neil youngs Rockin in the Free World tour. Half way through the second song some clown threw a fifty cent piece and hit him right in the middle of his forehead. neil went berserk, screaming and yelling. I wanna see that guy! Get that guy! so I walked out on staged and looked out and, believe it or not, I pinged the guy straight away. I said you threw that coin didnt you? Everybody took a pace back, security went in and took him back stage. neil berated him for twenty minutes and then went back on stage. I cant believe I went out into the crowd and saw that guy immediately! as if I was being guided. anyway neil signed a poster at the end of the tour To the awesome Tasmanian Devil Chuggie! sometimes Chugg was in the right place, at the right time. Back in the 70s I was managing a guy who used to be the lead singer of The Easybeats, stevie when the opera House had opened in sydney. and he was huge at the time with a monstrous album called Hard Road. anyway, this old roady friend said George young (also from The Easybeats) had a younger brother with a band in the Western suburbs called aC/DC. so I said lets put them on together, keep it in the family because George and Harry [Vander] had written and produced stevies record. so aC/

DC opened for stevie Wright in the sydney opera House and that was their first ever concert! and then about four years late we took them to England and, let me tell you, it wasnt cups of tea (in the greenroom) back then! alas, promoter Paul Browning scooped up their management, much to Chuggs chagrin. . I asked Chugg about the excesses of touring, the riders, the drugs, the girls His reply was interesting. We used to say that if you made it to 30, youd had a good life. But the tide was changing, although we and pretty much every promoter in the 70s made it up as we went, standards were creeping in. The standout was aBBa when they got off the plane there were masseuses, and trainers and doctors. But they were the odd band out then. later on in the 80s, Ill never forget the first Bon Jovi Tour mass hysteria outside the hotel rooms, like the Beatles days; craziness, and girls outside their hotel. They flew 12 ladies of the night up from sydney and there were naked girls on roller blades all around the mirage Hotel (Port Douglas). Two tours later, it was doctors and masseuses and psychiatrists and herbal teas and soothsayers. Everyones behaving like an athlete, even the managers in terry towel trackies. [laughs]! Finding acts to tour has changed a lot. no need for multi month overseas excursions in search of the tour potential. now you can record on your computer and put in on the Internet. We first found Florence + the machine that way. We have kids who work for us searching out acts, like of monsters and men, from Iceland, who was one of the headliners on our laneway festival tour. I say to all the new bands that you can start your own trip now, just put it up on the web and someone will discover it. live touring is where its at. Its in the gigs and the merchandise. Chuggs very descriptive about the various ways bands are merging their music and sponsorship deals and very scathing about the poor support of new aussie music in his own country, despite a 25% quota for radio play. one of the reasons I left Frontier was because the bean counters were keen on me touring unknown bands. Well, one of those bands we lost $40,000 on was called Radiohead. Who ironically, dont really get airplay, even now! another time Im on a ferry, after the Blur tour and their promoter says hes got the biggest act of the 21st century. and I say not that fat little guy from Take That? Well Robbie Williams didnt do much chop first time but he was huge on his third tour - a quarter of a million people (in australasia) saw him. I couldnt believe what an amazing entertainer he was! Coldplay was the same, a shy little band, not looking at the audience, playing 200 seat venues. Then we just did that amazing tour [Viva la Vida] recently. Thats the game. some do well and some wont, and thatll continue. But I suppose the real talent shines through and, at the end of the day, thats what keeps you going! WRITTEN BY TIM GRuAR

Whats the ethos of your store/clothing line? Easygoing, bit funny, not for idiots. Which historical figure had some wicked style? Wicked Style? Well, taking that literally Ill say Hitler. We can all agree he was the worst, but he knew how to put together iconic looks. Striking colours, sharp uniforms, skull and eagle graphics. What muso/celebrity has style up the wazoo? Tyler, the Creator. Surely that kids going to be the biggest star in the Western world soon. societys biggest fashion faux-pas? Giving a shit what other people think. The most stylish or coolest people to me are the ones who are true to themselves. Whats the must-have look this spring? Im so the wrong person to ask I still wear a Sea World T-shirt I bought when I was 10, so I clearly dont worry too much about trends. I dont think cats printed on stuff is going anywhere soon in street fashion at least. Also Wu-Tang icons are popping up everywhere. colours/patterns big this season? From what I can tell galaxy print/pattern is hanging on in there. Karen Walkers graphic take on it is really fantastic. What are the essentials for a mans wardrobe? Well-fitted jeans and sweet kicks. What are the essentials for a ladys wardrobe? A good bra. Everyone should own at least one good Pair of shoes. Hyphenate three words to describe your style: Teenage-skater-boy.

UnITECs soUnDs In The sun is the largest of the orientation events in all of new Zealand and this year the deluge of acts including Tahuna Breaks, nina mcsweeney and dDub are just some of the names joining the line-up. as much a celebration of the rituals that mark the beginning of the university year, sounds In The sun is also a celebration of some of new Zealands biggest names in music. This years event will also see the incorporation of a brand new Kids Day out Zone, gearing it more toward family orientation. There will also be food stalls, market stalls and festival rides. Katchafire are one of the biggest names in new Zealand reggae. Their craft has been refined for their latest offering. Billed as a testament to organic aotearoa reggae and charged with sensibility, the new album On The Road Again holds a flame to the fine balance of classic roots reggae completed with a flavour of RnB and funk. no strangers to success, their latest offering On The Road Again follows a double platinum debut, a platinum second album and a critically acclaimed 2007 release, Say What Youre Thinking. They are joined by nina mcsweeney. The songstress, known notably for her collaborations with Concord Dawn, has a history of performing as a vocalist and blues harmonica across national and international stages. Her debut album The Bitter Sea was co-produced by mcsweeney herself and Brendon Kahi in only four days. The album has developed its own genre dubbed creep folk and has a collection of songs and stories that have a cinematic air of intrigue. Pieter T, whose debut album Life, Love and Lessons was voted best album on Flava Fm in 2011, and the genre splitting sola Rosa is also on this years bill. Tahuna Breaks and Weird Together round out the event with the former a seven piece energetic and raw live act and the latter the new studio and live project from Dick Johnson and nick D.

God of War, the videogame series (as opposed to the mythological figure), first burst onto the scene in 2005. Burst is a pretty good verb to use here, it turns out, because there was quite a bit of gore exploding out all over the place, a signature that has continued to appear in every God of War ever since. Exclusive to PlayStation platforms, God of War is an action series for the masses a simplistic, button bashing, violence-a-thon. The general gist is that you, as Kratos - Spartan warrior extraordinaire - have been greatly wronged and must set about correcting that situation by laying waste to all manner of mythological creatures, largely by way of a pair of swords that connect to your forearms with long, hefty chains. A practical weapon, they are not, but Kratos is no mere man, and at his command he is able to effectively decimate anything that stands in his way.

Ascension, then, is the next game in the series. The previous PlayStation 3 titles have all been numbered iterations, but for reasons that have not yet been disclosed, Ascension bucks that trend. Despite the name-related shenanigans, God of War: Ascension is largely what youd expect more chaos, more gore, more screen-filling monsters, and more angry-man dialogue. I said largely there, however, for a reason; the game also packs a hefty multiplayer mode this time around, and thats a first for the series. In it, you can go toe-to-toe with your buddies online, duking it out (or working alongside them) to see whos the baddest of all the asses. A great extension to the core game, its fun to play - only time will tell if it manages to build a solid online following, of course, but its certainly worthy of attention. The single player game, meanwhile, is definitely more evolution than revolution. If you like the general gameplay, with all its violence, massive monsters, and boobies, chances are pretty good youll be good to go with this version, too. If you were hoping theyd switch it up a bit, however, and perhaps reinvent or at least overhaul the core, this isnt the iteration for you. Kratos sticks to what he knows best; if you know what to expect before dipping in, you wont be disappointed.

THE ANNuAL ALL-ROuND, FEEL-GOOD FESTIVAL IS BACK AGAIN AND READY TO INTRODuCE YOu TO NEW EXPERIENCES. laTE lasT yEaR, I was treated to some fantastic Taranaki hospitality when the line-up for Womad 2013 (World of music and Dance) was announced during a launch at parliament. Every year Im both intrigued and delighted to learn whos on the bill. The line-up is always guaranteed to include the known, the unknown and the ready-to-be-discovered. and its this last category that always leaves a lasting impression. arts director Drew James mission is always to top the diversity and challenge of the previous years programme. a coup dtat is getting hold of three acts from mali, a country that has actually banned all musical performance because of its social and political influence. Bassekou Kouyat & ngoni Ba specialise in ngoni (an ancient West african lute). Theres desert blues from Vieux Farka Tour (son of Eric Clapton collaborator ali Farka Tour) and then theres salif Keita The Golden Voice of africa who returns with his sandpaper-and-honey voice to perform music of high drama and intimate compassion. In a blast from the past, look out for Reggae man Jimmy Cliff, who will take the impossibly long journey from Jamaica to put on some good time sounds for us. also in the mix is Cajun revivalist anne savoy. on the phone from the deep south, she told me about the Uss deep passion to rediscover it roots and history in the light of recent financial hardships. americans are looking back on times that werent necessarily better but they were real. our music is about having a real good time, but remembering your past, honouring your history. Folkies lau (which means fire) from the orkney Islands in northern scotland also want to honour their past. We play music that suits the beer drinking hours, which up here is after dark. But were looking forward to coming to a country with sunshine. We love the festival crowds its where you get your knees up! local act Fly my Pretties, led by Barnaby Weir, will recreate their recent magic in a 90-minute show on the opening night; aaron Tokonas aHoribuzz will create funky mischief, mara TKs Electric Wire Hustle will amp up the stage and David Kilgour and his Heavy Eights, recently back from the Usa will gently rock your world. also worth supporting is mihirangi, last seen on new Zealands Got Talent, killing the audience with her loop show; plus the yoots are back and Welli Roots band newtown Rock steady will be in the house for some retro skank time. led by the nudges James Coyle, these boys were the highlight of the newtown Festival this year and are guaranteed to appeal funk up the Womad nation this year. one of the stars this year has to be south africas Hugh masekela. His trumpet gave a plaintive voice to black south africas deep troubles during the apartheid years. His signature afro-jazz sound remains poignant, rousing and inspirational even after more than half a century of performing. Hes galvanised anti-apartheid support, both domestically and on an international level, and playing tunes of defiance and hope, hes opened the borders of jazz to include anything from kwela, african township jive and afro-beat. If youre going to choose only one night, then make it Friday and catch this man in his one and only performance! of course, Womad is really more than a music festival its more like a 360 degree feel good, speak good, hear good and even taste good experience. Its probably one of the few festivals where youll intentionally forgo the picnic basket in favour of the amazing line up of ethnic food on offer. Theres even a cooking gig hosted by Jax, from masterChef new Zealand and featuring performing artists doing their traditional dishes. after attending a few times, Womad is a permanent fixture on my familys calendar because this festival is unlike any other. Its age agnostic. yyou can bring the kids and the teens and the olds. one aspect Ive noticed over the years is the understated professionalism of the mostly volunteer crew (about 1000+) who go out of their way to make every experience unique and pleasurable. This is not the place to get blotto either. Theres beer and wine and plenty of good time, but the peaceful atmosphere amongst the bush and in the Bowl, a natural amphitheatre, pretty much dissolves the agro quotient. last year, I saw one solitary cop and he was dancing! For the young, theres a specially marked out area in the zoo which is inside the festival venue, the Bowl of Brooklands, designated for play groups, craft making, animal tours organised games, etc. and on sunday, the kids even get their own parade when everything stops for them! older and differentlyabled people have special platforms so they dont get crushed in the mosh pits. Theres even a special service for the deaf. now Im sure Ive missed something. Well, you can check it all at Womad. co.nz. Gotta rush, camping spots in the racetrack adjacent to the festival are filling up and I dont want to miss out. see ya there! WRITTEN BY TIM GRuAR
