You’re currently visiting from LA, how has your trip back been so far?
This trip to Australia is like ALL my trips to Australia… GREAT! I love it here and have been coming here since 1988. I love my friends, the city, the food, the fun and of course the banana bread.
How did you originally get into photography?
That’s a long story, but here’s the short version… I saw the movie Funny Face when I was 10 years old. I loved Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire. I saw him playing a photographer and I said I want to do that for the rest of my life! I fell in love with photography after I shot my first roil at 10 and started my business at 12. Photography has given me the best life ever and I can prove it… I got the photos!
You’re launching your Greatest Hits exhibition next week at Room 205, 205 Oxford Street, Darlinghurst, Sydney December 7 – 11, 2022 – what can we expect to see?
This is gonna be super fun. This is my 3rd exhibition here in Sydney!!! The first one was Greatest Hits: George Michael in 2018. In 2019 I did Greatest Hits: Grunge and Greatest Hits: Michael Hutchence. I love Australia and sharing my two biggest passions… music and photography. This exhibition is ALL about 30+ years of Music Photography… it’s the best of my best covering ALL genres of music. I want people to see that I’ve done it all and more. Behind the Gallery and I have come up with some fun and entertaining events for the 5 days. It’s more than an exhibition, it’s ALL about celebrating!
How and why did the Greatest Hits exhibition come about?
It’s been 3 years since I was in Sydney cuz of life and the world. I wanted to get back ASAP and have some fun. I felt it was the right time to share my “Best Of’s”! I talked to my friends, asked for some help and started moving forward back in August to make Greatest Hits happen.
The exhibition is running over a few days, which music artists are performing and when are they playing?
The schedule is great! The basics…
SCHEDULE:
December 7th, Wednesday – Opening Night from 7-10pm
December 8th, Thursday – MMAD Performance night with Ella Powell and D Minor from 7pm to 8pm.
December 9th, Friday – Photo Talk hosted by photographer Peter Collie from 7pm to 9pm.
December 10th, Saturday – Artist Talk hosted by Michelle Grace Hunder & performance with Sam Baker from 1pm to 4pm.
December 11th, Sunday – Closing day. 12pm to 3pm
You worked with the late/great Michael Hutchence, what was that experience like?
I get asked this a lot in Australia. Simply put… GREAT! He was the best of the best. We had a blast shooting the first time in 1988 and the second in 1993. He was ALL that and more. He made me look good.
Who are you listening to at the moment?
My favs these days are Lauren Ruth Ward, The Struts, Sam Baker, Siiickbrain, Grandson, Isabella Amarga and ALL my old High School music… which is 70’s R&B & funk!
What do you like to do away from photography?
Rest and sleep. I’m a workaholic. I’m blessed to do what I love and love what I do. I’m not getting any younger and I have so much more that I need to do. Creating is everything to me, not matter what the medium is. Go big or go home!
What’s planned for 2023 and beyond?
Well, after Australia I leave for New Zealand and I’m having Greatest Hits in Auckland this February!!! My first time ever in NZ and I’m SO excited. I can NOT wait to share my passion with New Zealand.
Favourite food and place to hangout in Sydney?
This is tough!!! First and foremost… Banana Bread at Gusto! I always stay in Bondi Beach when I’m here. It’s my home away from home. The people, the food, the energy and course the beach!!! I wish I lived here cuz I probably would live 10 years longer. 🙂

1 What’s it like as an established muso with his own distinctive style to pair up with an artist who likewise has his own profile and following?
Live music events can fill you with inspiration in all sorts of ways. If you’re a musician witnessing a great performance it pushes you to want to emulate the playing style, or to write music as good as what you’re hearing in that moment. For me I also get to feeling like I want to get in amongst it and be in that band, or to trade licks with that great player. Jimi is one of those players. He pushes me, kicks my arse to play the best I can.
2 Is it possible to preserve your own artistic identity and flavour when playing with and alongside your `opposite number?’ Can we expect you to shed some of your unique recent experiences (Kings of Kings) in your solo set prior to the all-in jam?
One of the things you learn along the way is to always play it your way. This may be especially true when it comes to playing the blues. The whole aim is finding your own voice so there is never any point in trying to outplay another performer at their game. Yeah, I recently had the chance to share the stage with the great Dave Hole & Shane Pacey playing some classic blues songs. I had Dave Hole standing right next to me every night and I can tell you, those gigs were some of the best guitar lessons I’ve ever had… but whenever it comes my turn to play, I dig deep and do my thing the best I know how.
3 I’m guessing some friendly rivalry would play out as well in that shared space? Particularly with you both leading the jam. How do you expect to manage and lead Kaliopi & the Blues Messengers during the jam?
Jimi & I enjoy the bitchy banter we get into. It’s even funnier to us if anyone thinks we’re serious. It started when we were playing some of our first gigs together and you’d occasionally overhear comments along the lines of ‘Jimi’s gonna wipe the floor with him tonight’ or some such thing. We decided it was actually more fun to play up to that idea of us competing for some sort of guitarist supremacy and we started calling those gigs our ‘Guitar Showdown’. The music is always our focus – but be prepared for a battle of wits between songs. Oh, and the jam set? The best thing about those moments is that they are very loosely planned, if planned at all. I am careful not to think too hard about what might happen then lest we spoil the magic!
4 You’ve been paired with each other before – how might your upcoming gig for Double Trouble Blues Sessions be different or similar? What can your followers expect or is it always a case of `expect the unexpected’?
This is a different format to our Showdown gigs. The difference is that we’ll each to showcasing our solo material which highlights our individual styles. The similarity is that we’ll end up on stage together with a cracking band backing us up and trading licks on electric guitars. Add Kaliopi to the mix and suddenly we shall have a triple guitar threat… but of course only one can reign supreme. Who shall it be? Whom shalt doff this coveted crown?
OPENS DECEMBER 7 AT BEHIND THE GALLERY – 205 OXFORD ST, DARLINGHURST
“I’ve done what I love for over 40 years now. I have a million stories and the photos to prove it.”
Sydney, 22 November, 2022: LA based photographer, CHRIS CUFFARO has returned to Australia bags packed and overflowing with some of his most iconic photos, for a must see pop-up exhibition CHRIS CUFFARO: GREATEST HITS. The collection showcases some of his best work with artists spanning all genres of music and capturing era-defining visual stories.
Celebrating 30 years of music photography, the GREATEST HITS exhibition will include photos of Nirvana, Daniel Johns, Michael Hutchence, Iggy Pop, George Michael, Scott Weiland, Fiona Apple, Morrissey, Limp Bizkit, Korn, Eddie Van Halen and more.
Opening Wednesday, December 7 through to December 11 at Room 205 in Darlinghurst, fans of music, photography and pop culture will be able to get up close and personal with Chris and some of the world’s most globally recognised musicians via his stunning and raw photos. Over five days the exhibition programme will include music, artists talk, workshops and more.
Cuffaro has been shooting artists for the past 30+ years and has no intention of slowing down, he says: “I couldn’t wait to come back to Australia, I love it here. After the boarders opened again, I felt like it was time to celebrate my greatest loves: photography and music. I’ve created a project that share these passions and I’ve narrowed it down and chosen the best of the best, selecting these iconic images from my massive catalogue of music photography. These are my Greatest Hits! Most people will recognise these artists and finally know who shot them. This pop-up project is my way of saying thank you to everyone I’ve worked with over the years who helped me live my dream”.
This latest Australian exhibition, presented by Behind the Gallery, follows on from his 2019 Greatest Hits: Michael Hutchence and Greatest Hits: Grunge at Blender Gallery. In 2018 he presented his sold-out Greatest Hits: George Michael at Black Eye Gallery.

December 7 – 11, 2022
Touring April 2023
Frontier Touring are delighted to announce2022 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominee and eight-time Grammy-winner Beck will perform two intimate and unique acoustic shows in Melbourne and Sydney in April 2023.
Delving deep into his acoustic roots, these special performances will highlight the pure songcraft of Beck’s standards and rarities, his unparalleled versatility on show at his first Australia headline shows in five years. Beck will perform at Melbourne’s Palais Theatre on Monday 3 April, and Sydney’s Aware Super Theatre on Thursday 6 April, before heading north for a set at Byron Bay’s Bluesfest.
|
‘The Golden Age’, ‘Debra’, ‘Rowboat’, ‘Heart Is A Drum’, ‘Nobody’s Fault But My Own’, ‘Lost Cause’, ‘Sissyneck’, ‘Say Goodbye’, ‘Guess I’m Doing Fine’, ‘Pay No Mind’… Beck’s solo sets earlier in 2022 (in Paris, London, Nashville, and Austin) included songs from across his extraordinary catalogue.
Tickets will go sale Wednesday 7 December (11am AEDT) via frontiertouring.com/beck.Frontier Members can access the Members pre-sale, which starts Monday 5 December (11am AEDT) – see website for details.
As the title of his most recent album Hyperspace might imply, Beck has travelled light years from his emergence as a reluctant generational spokesperson when ‘Loser’ exploded from a rejected 1992 demo into a ubiquitous 1994 smash. In the decades since, his singular career has seen him explore all genres and eras of music, blurring boundaries and blazing a path into the future while foraging through the past.
Beginning with his 1994 debut Mellow Gold, Beck’s creative evolution has always progressed at an exponential rate. From 1996’s multi-platinum cultural touchstone Odelay to 1998’s world-tripping Mutations and the florescent funk of 1999’s Midnite Vultures, 2002’s sombre Sea Change, 2005’s platinum tour de force Guero and 2006’s sprawling The Information, 2008’s acclaimed Modern Guilt, 2014’s Album of the Year Grammy winner Morning Phase, the “euphoric blast of experimental pop” (Rolling Stone) that was 2017’s Colors and his 2019 “best in a decade” (People) Hyperspace… No Beck record has ever sounded like its predecessor – though The New York Times notes a consistent thread: “Though Beck’s records through the years have tended toward maximalism, a kind of meticulous sonic gorgeousness, melody remains central to his art.”
With a peerless career and revelatory live shows, don’t miss the critically acclaimed Beck – live on stage next autumn.

Most recently captured in the music video for ‘Sing Your Heart Out‘, Georgia Maq, Sarah Thompson and Kelly-Dawn Helmrich continue to leave audiences captivated and impressed, with live show reviews of their shows across Meanjin / Brisbane’s Tivoli, Eora / Sydney’s Enmore Theatre, Naarm / Melbourne’s Forum over May and later in lutruwita / Tasmania at the Royal Oak in kanamaluka / Launceston and Repuclic Bar in nipaluna / Hobart; boasting “a masterful set” and “The fact that Camp Cope have remained the same at their core means their fans have stayed loyal”; “It’s hard to believe Camp Cope have only been together for little over half a decade.”
Arriving in March to a steady stream of global acclaim, tastemakers locally and abroad have each revelled in Running With The Hurricane’s empowering embrace of new sonic and lyrical ground, including Upset Magazine’s #12 Album of the Year: “Secure in where they stand, it’s heart and soul that shine through – Camp Cope comfortable in their own sonic skin, pushing outwards while looking inwards.”
Camp Cope have also been nominated for Best Group at the upcoming Music VIC Awards and long-listed for the Australian Music Prize, who lauded their latest LP as “Camp Cope’s most complex and accomplished record yet. It’s somehow both raw and polished, with layered vocals and a fuller sound than their previous offerings. Lyrically, still as powerful as ever.”
Throughout Running With The Hurricane’s ten tracks, Camp Cope trade searing vocals and fierce riffs for pianos, multi-instruments, harmonies and more breathing new growth for the trio personally and professionally – older, wiser, and more at peace with the world. Following their critically acclaimed album How to Socialise & Make Friends (2018), Running With The Hurricane reflects faltered romances and secret crushes, vibrating with assured confidence. If Camp Cope‘s self-titled debut (2016) was the spark, and How to Socialise & Make Friends was the fire, Running With The Hurricane is Camp Cope in the calm after the storm.
Running With The Hurricane LP is out now, buy/stream it here.

Enter a space of epic proportions with large-scale audio-visual creations that merge light, laser and sound. Robin Fox presents the Australian premiere of Triptych, described as an audio-visual space-time carving, direct from its world premiere at UNSOUND KRAKOW. The show employs three RGB laser projectors working in synchronicity to realise a full-colour geometry. Robin’s audio-visual performances synchronise sound and visual electricity and have been performed in over 60 cities worldwide including recent installations: Night Sky for Brisbane Festival, Aqua Luma for Mona Foma 2021, Library of Light for Illuminate Adelaide 2021, BEACON for Mona Foma 2022 and MONOCHORD for Rising Festival 2022.
Yann Novak is an interdisciplinary artist and composer whose work is guided by his unique perspective as a queer autodidact. Informed by his partial colour blindness and dyslexia, Novak uses sound and light to explore how these intangible materials can act as catalysts to focus our awareness on our own direct experience. Novak’s diverse body of work – which includes audio-visual installations, performances, sound diffusions, recording and prints – invites participants to imagine how divergent our individual perceptions of reality can be.
The work of New Zealand-based Iranian sound artist mHz (aka Mo H. Zareei), highlights the beauty in the basics of sound and light production and audio-visual elements that draw inspiration from material and architecture. mHz has exhibited his work across the globe in venues such as ISEA (Montreal/Vancouver/Dubai), SETxCTM festival (Tehran), NIME (London), Modern Body Festival (The Hague), ICAD (New York) and NZ Festival (Wellington), while his electronic music projects have been published by via Important Records (US), leerraum (CH), and Kasuga Records (DE).
In what will be his first time exhibiting to Australian audiences exclusively for ΩHM, Swiss artist Zimoun presents Material Concerns. Zimoun builds architecturally-minded platforms of sound using commonplace industrial objects. He principally uses simple materials from everyday life and industrial usage, such as cardboard, DC motors, cables, welding wire, wooden spars or ventilators, and develops small apparatuses which generate a tonal and visual complexity once activated.
These artists join an already full line-up of pioneers including Peaches, Monolake + Electric Indigo and The Chills, alongside formative acts such as Kae Tempest, Nakhane and black midi. Experience something other worldly and explore the possibilities with ΩHM, Brisbane’s newest cultural mainstay celebrating provocative thinking and adventurous approaches to sound, music, light and performance.

Only 8 more sleeps until Good Things Festival will be here igniting the mosh pits along the east coast of Australia.
Headlined by one of the world’s most electrifying and successful rock bands BRING ME THE HORIZON, the stacked line-up also includes Australian iconic and gold-selling larrikins TISM performing for the first time in 19 years, American heavyweights DEFTONES,
JXDN and 3OH!3 are no longer able to perform due to circumstances beyond our control but in fantastic news we welcome OCEAN GROVE and TEENAGE JOANS to the line up.
Aussie oddballs OCEAN GROVE freely fuse rock, metal, grunge, hip-hop & Brit-pop influences, pioneering what can only be described as Oddworld Music. The eclectic trio hailing from Melbourne recently released their third LP Up In The Air Forever in April 2022 to critical acclaim and have since been on a global assault touring their new brand of Oddworld Music. Having just returned from their debut headline tour across the UK & Europe in October 2022 and off the back of their biggest headline shows in Australia to date, OCEAN GROVE are set to make 2023 a career-defining year with the promise of a lot more new music around the corner…
After taking out the triple j unearthed high crown in 2020, TEENAGE JOANS, the Adelaide two-piece have not slowed down, taking out #87 in the 2021 H100, releasing single ‘Something About Being Sixteen’ and playing two sold out co-headline shows with TOWNS in Brisbane and Melbourne. They have shared the stage with Violent Soho, Ruby Fields, The Hard Aches, Clowns, The Chats, Bugs, Amy Shark and Sly Withers and performed at Summer Sounds, Mountain Goat Valley Crawl, Yours & Owls, Laneway Festival 2019 as part of the Girls Rock! Showcase and were a highlight performance at A Day Of Clarity and Stonecutters Festival’s.
We recently welcomed these additional artists..
YOU AM I are one of the most successful and internationally admired Australian bands. Centered around the prolific songwriting skills of singer/guitarist Tim Rogers, their breakthrough came at the inaugural Lollapalooza-style Big Day Out concert in January 1993. With three number one albums, a handful of ARIA awards and 11 albums under their belts, YOU AM I cement themselves as one of Australia’s most esteemed bands.
For a lot of bands, chaos & insanity are used as colourfully descriptive words for their character; for Japan’s PALEDUSK, they’re somewhat of an understatement. The electronic-metalcore powerhouse leaves absolutely nothing behind as they carve a path that is truly one of a kind. Word has spread like wildfire about these young kids from the Japanese island of Kyushu and it doesn’t seem to be slowing down. See them before they become the next global sensation that everyone is talking about.
From their immersive sonic aesthetics to their high-octane live shows, there’s nobody quite like Melbourne cinema-core masterminds THE GLOOM IN THE CORNER. Recently adding to The Gloom Cinematic Universe with their blistering sophomore album Trinity, THE GLOOM IN THE CORNER are primed to whisk your breath away onstage with their sharp storytelling, unwavering melodics and nuanced, explosive heaviness. Prepare for a sonic spectacle for the ages this December.
Deathcore flag bearers TO THE GRAVE have been focussed on dominance since their inception and show no signs of slowing down. After their 2019 record Global Warning elevated them to global awareness, they have been set on a warpath across the world to bulldoze audiences with a visceral live experience and a confronting message that demands your attention. They’ll be appearing at the Melbourne and Brisbane events only.
Start planning your day as the maps and timetables are here!

Tones and I
After a sell-out event in 2022 that attracted almost 16,000 people from across Australia, BASSINTHEGRASS has become a must-do on the national music festival calendar. Aussie music phenomenon Tones and I said she loves the Top End.
“I’m really looking forward to getting back to Darwin after playing New Year’s Eve 2020. It was a great memory and I loved the city,” she said.
Guy Sebastian said he can’t wait to head north to take part.
“I am so stoked to be heading up to Darwin to play live with my band at BASSINTHEGRASS. I love heading to the NT – the vibe up there is always electric, and the energy I get from everyone up north always leaves me and the band buzzing with how much they love music and life. See you next year, legends!” he said.
Delivered by Northern Territory Major Events Company (NTMEC) on behalf of the Northern Territory Government, BASSINTHEGRASS continues to evolve each year.
“Last year’s BASSINTHEGRASS was absolutely huge, it really was amazing,” NTMEC Head of Events and Operations Coryn Huddy said.
“This year music fans can expect an equally memorable time, not just at the festival, but also experiencing all the unique tourism experiences the Territory has to offer.”
A limited number of General Admission tickets are available for $120. Once they are gone, Final Release tickets will go on sale for $140. Those looking for a premium festival experience can purchase a limited LA COCO ticket for $285, which includes express entry, plus access to the exclusive LA COCO space, with its cruisy beach vibe. Think shady places to relax, cool cocktails and swaying palm trees. LA COCO also features private bars and amenities, an LED screen, limited-design BASS stubby cooler, and more.
All BASSINTHEGRASS tickets include a $50 Travello voucher to be used on a Territory tourism experience.
Last year’s BASSINTHEGRASS sold out well in advance, and 2023 looks set to follow suit. Grab your ticket now at www.bassinthegrass.com.au.
