The Under the Southern Stars spectacular Rock Carnival Festival Series has been postponed. UTSS features +LIVE+, BUSH and STONE TEMPLE PILOTS who were set to play together for the first time in Australia this April. However, with the current global health crisis gripping the world, UTSS will need to move its scheduled dates to early 2021. Under The Southern Stars promoter, Andrew McManus has issued the following statement. Producing Under The Southern Stars music festivals each summer is a privilege and our fans and patrons have become part of the family.  In light of the current global health crisis, we feel that it is imperative to protect the Under The Southern Stars family and proceed in a clear and calm manner. We have been closely monitoring the situation as it develops and following directives from the Chief Medical Officer of the Australian Health Protection Principal Committee (AHPPC).  With the increase of travel bans and lock downs, in an effort to stop transmission of the virus, and with the safety of our patrons, artists, staff and crew in mind we have no other alternative than to postpone our April 2020 festival tour dates. We’ve been in consultation with all UTSS2020 artists in regard to their touring schedules and we plan to announce revised festival dates for Under The Southern Stars next week.  It is expected that our festival will be postponed until February/March 2021. All tickets already purchased will be valid for the new festival dates in 2021. Go in rock and stay healthy. Andrew McManus Further information concerning rescheduled dates will be available in the coming days. www.underthesouthernstars.com.au FOLLOW UTSS Web | Facebook | Instagram Live | Bush | STP #UTSS2020

NEW SINGLE OUT NOW  "This new one is sounding so polished and sweet. You're stepping up to that next level and proving you belong there. 4.5/5" Dave Ruby Howe, triple j Unearthed "This is exceptionally good. 4.5/5" Claire Mooney, triple j Unearthed After wrapping up his End Of Summer Tour last week, rising Australian singer-songwriter Jack Botts has revealed new headline dates kicking off in April. The tour will support his new single 'I've Got You', which has already landed the praise of triple j Unearthed rotation and triple j's Home & Hosed.  It comes after a whirlwind response to his 2019 Northern Rivers EP, which has already picked up over three quarters of a million streams and launched Jack onto stages supporting the likes of Tash Sultana, John Floreani and Ash Grunwald. Meanwhile, Botts was also recently announced support slot for none other than Pierce Brothers on their extensive regional run.  The I've Got You Australian East Coast Tour will be supported by Felipe Baldomir and Ben Camden, with tickets on sale now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ye6cnxRSP3g&feature=youtu.be On his new single, Botts explains that 'I've Got You' captures a period of desperation his friend was going through while being separated from key people in his life. “Lyrically, it’s written from his perspective, with the desperation and hope, that he’ll get back in contact with these people again," he explains. "It’s about being in that state of mind where nothing else matters, you know what you want/need, staying positive, and not stopping until you get it. This is for anyone missing someone/something." Brandishing a no-frills, down-to-earth approach to life and a charming knack for storytelling, Botts has swiftly and organically build a fanbase with little infrastructure behind him. Deep-thinking, heart-string-pulling and utterly endearing, Jack Botts is a breath of fresh air poised to command widespread attention before too long.

The halcyon hedonistic are set to return to Amnesia this summer when Pyramid kicks off its mouthwatering 2020 season on Sunday June 7th. The show-stopping opening party will be headlined by firm favourites and contemporary tastemakers Ricardo Villalobos, Four Tet, Floating Points, Charlotte de Witte, Marcel Dettmann, Cuartero, Luca Donzelli and Bec. Pyramid, then, is all set to redefine Sunday nights at Amnesia all over again this summer.  Last year, Amnesia celebrated the 20th anniversary of its residents and Ricardo Villalobos, Paco Osuna and Mar-T and enjoyed great collabs with other brands and labels like Epizode, Diynamic, Mdrnty Sunwave Fest, plus there were two incredible sold-out parties at Cova Santa together with Who Cares. This season, Pyramid Ibiza is ready to take you on a journey to another dimension, where you will find yourself dancing to the best techno music in the depths of the forest. An atmosphere that is difficult to explain, an energy that must be experienced to be understood. Also this season, Pyramid Ibiza celebrates its third consecutive year at the world famous club having quickly become a real favourite with those who love serious underground vibes. From Sunday June 7th to September 27th, the party will position itself as one where all that matters is music, the party, the people and dancing until the early hours.  Entering the awe-inspiring Amnesia will be like travelling to another dimension this summer as Pyramid’s unique production and decor has been thought through to the last detail: each event brims with creativity and organic materials, the latest technology, a very special 3D lighting setup and lush green tones that immerse you in wild forests and Asian pyramids. For the opening party, the world famous Terraza will be headlined by the one and only icon and Amnesia favourite Ricardo Villalobos, who brings his minimal techno excellence next to the always innovative electronic master and Text label boss Four Tet. For a mix of all forms of house, techno and everything in between, Melodies International boss and NTS Radio mainstay Floating Points is the main man. On top of that, one of Spain's biggest house sensations, DJ Award winner and Hot Creations and Moon Harbour associate Cuartero also brings the slick grooves that have made him such a favourite.  Into the Techno Room and Belgium's leading lady Charlotte de Witte brings the darkness, Berghain's long time resident Marcel Dettmann brings plenty of varied techno sounds and Moon Harbour and Origins Rcds associate Luca Donzelli also line up.  This summer, Pyramid invites you to dance, share, feel and live the type of party that takes you into another dimension, and it all kicks off in style on Sunday June 7th. #TravelToPyramid #WeArePyramid TERRAZA RICARDO VILLALOBOS FOUR TET FLOATING POINTS CUARTERO TECHNO ROOM CHARLOTTE DE WITTE MARCEL DETTMAN LUCA DONZELLI BEC

Longstanding California punk band Lagwagon have today released their ninth studio album Railer on Fat Wreck Chords.  Lagwagon have announced a headlining tour of Australia and New Zealand to promote their new album Railer. Tour dates below. Unlike the last few Lagwagon albums, RAILER was written in an incredibly condensed period of time, in an attempt to capture the spirit of the band’s early days. And it worked. While songs like “Stealing Light,” “Dangerous Animal” and “Dark Matter” bristle with a raw, ragged and pure energy that’s unusual for any band to have after almost 30 years of existence, these tracks also directly hearken back to the band’s early days. “There’s only so much one person or a group of people can do before they start to develop characteristics that become common to them,” says Cape in typically philosophical fashion, “and I think you have to be comfortable with that. And I am. I like my band and what we’ve done and I’m okay with the fact that we have our strengths and we have our limitations. I know what it is that we do well and if we stay true to that, there’s something that comes out of that that is truly original, because you’re being true to who you really are.” At the same time RAILER, produced by Cameron Webb (Alkaline Trio, Motörhead), accurately and honestly reflects who Lagwagon are in 2019, both lyrically and musically. While it sounds like these songs could have been written by a band 20 years younger, RAILER, as a collection, presents itself as youthful but jaded, frantic but exhausted, visceral yet cerebral.  The idea of struggling to get by alongside an overwhelming sense of existential chaos and angst is a common thread throughout RAILER, in the bouncy desperation of “Jini,” the Bertrand Russell-inspired “The Suffering,” the breakneck despair of “Parable” and even in the carefree nostalgia of “Bubble” and its unflinching celebration of the band’s early days of “beer for pay” and the “roach-ridden pads” they used to crash at. Life has moved on in the three decades since Lagwagon started, but it’s not something the band – guitarists Chris Rest and Chris Flippin, drummer Dave Raunand bassist Joe Raposo – have entirely left behind either.   Additionally, Cape doesn’t necessarily expect people to extract his specific philosophies from each of these songs, but they’re certainly present for the listener to seek out if they want to. At the same time, just as with Lagwagon’s earliest songs, RAILER’s songs are there to be listened to and enjoyed, to take you back to simpler times. It’s no coincidence, then, that RAILER ends with a frantic punk rock cover of Journey’s “Faithfully." Back in their earlier days, Lagwagon’s albums often used to include cover songs, but the band hasn’t recorded one for a long time, until now. And, with this record, Lagwagon has come full-circle and rediscovered the purest version of who they’ve always been as a band. Not that that feeling was ever really lost in the first place, of course. “I wouldn’t say ‘lost’,” confirms Cape, “but you evolve. Evolution is a journey within yourself. You go on this journey and it takes you wherever it takes you, there are multiple people along the way that you meet who have different ideas than you and as you grow, you get into different things along the way. I don’t know if you ever completely lose the sense of where you came from, but you definitely evolve away from it over time. But the thing is, it’s always there.” LAGWAGON AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND TOUR 2020 Friday 13th March - Metro Theatre, Sydney Saturday 14th March – Triffid, Brisbane Sunday 15th March - 170 Russell, Melbourne Wednesday 18th March – UniBar, Adelaide Thursday 19th March – Capitol, Perth Saturday 21st March – Galatos, Auckland Sunday 22nd March - San Fran, Wellington Tickets on sale now.  For more info visit HERE.

Panda Events & Allover in collaboration with the City of Cannes, and the Palais des Festivals present Les Plages Electroniques 2020 Les Plages Electroniques 15th Anniversary August 7 - 9th, 2020 Cannes, France http://plages-electroniques.com/ Facebook @LesPlages Twitter @PlagesElectro Instagram @PlagesElectro Now firmly on the list of major festivals not to be missed, The Festival Les Plages Electroniques will be celebrating its 15th anniversary from August 7th to 9th 2020, and has an array of surprises and novelties to be announced very soon. The first wave of acts includes The Chainsmokers (exclusive - their only French festival appearance in 2020), Paul Kalkbrenner, Kaytranada, Stephan Bodzin, Boombass/Cassius, Guy Gerber, Folamour, Mathame, Artbat, Boys Noize, Meduza, Sam Paganini and more. The many festival-goers from all over the world who attend the three day event  will be delighted to dance non-stop on the most beautiful beach of La Croisette, on the roof of the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, and sink their feet in the water at the Red Bull Enigma party on Sunday, as well as get down at the after party in the Rotonde Riviera until early morning.  The Festival Village opens from 2:00 p.m. and always pays special attention to the comfort of the public with a beauty corner, many fun stands, chill out in the gardens of Square Reynaldo Hahn, catering offer for all tastes (burgers, vegan, pancakes, Italian ice cream, sweet, salty) in collaboration with local food trucks, and much more.  The first open water party in 2017 on the Palais des Festivals beach was a resounding success. It is an event within the event with a stage set up on the water and hundreds of giant buoys distributed for the delight of festival-goers. 2020 will repeat more of the same on Sunday from 2.30 p.m. The afterparties are always a great success. The Rotunda of the Palais des Festivals, which is used to hosting congresses throughout the year, will once again be transformed into an ephemeral club, an indoor dance floor with a capacity of 5,000 people with an original concept and scripting concocted by a collective of local artists, so festival-goers can extend the party until 5 a.m. Live the backstage VIP experience: Festival-goers can access the premium spaces with a view of the main action and get skip-the-line entrance, a personalized welcome with a hostess, a dedicated bar with paid food service, in short making it a special way to experience the festival differently. Les Plages Électroniques will offer more than 60 artists from around the world across the three days with a line up oscillating between Electro Dance Music (EDM), House, Pop Electro, Techno and urban cultures. All catering to the 40000 strong crowd.  THE HEADLINERS The Chainsmokers (France Festival Exclusive) The Chainsmokers are a pop act consisting of two DJs named Drew Taggart (born December 31, 1989) and Alex Pall (born May 16, 1985). They first hit the charts with the novelty song "#Selfie." Two years later, in 2016, they soared to the top of the charts with "Closer," one of the biggest pop hit singles of all time. Paul Kalkbrenner Berlin’s Paul Kalkbrenner is a unique international talent. In fact, with seven studio albums and more than 2.4 million Facebook fans, he is one of techno’s biggest superstars! Paul Kalkbrenner’s demanding compositions are full of energy; they exist to take listeners away from the everyday, from the weekly grind, into rapture—into art, ecstasy, absurdity friendship, hope and love. Kaytranada Born in Haiti and raised in the city of Montreal, Canadian artist Kaytranada has experienced an explosive rise in the past couple of years with his irresistible production and live sets, but the hard work and success did not happen overnight. Before touring the globe and amassing millions of hits online with his series of beloved tracks and mixes, the young man came up as a true disciple, absorbing hip hop and RnB culture since his childhood and finding ways to make the music his own. Stephan Bodzin Stephan Bodzin has been a hugely influential figure within the global techno scene for years. The reason the German has endured where many had fallen by the wayside is because of his devotion to authenticity. “Without it, everything would appear to be nothing more than a hollow shell,” says the son of an experimental musician who is now a revered talent in his own right.

They then completed their own headline tour full of sold out dates, and fronted the camera for an Aus Music Month shoot with General Pants. The second offering came at the end of last month with the release of 'Fairies', a loud and more grungier track showing of their raucous energy. Never ones to shy away from the tour van, TOTTY have played alongside names like SKEGGS, Hockey Dad and Slowly Slowly as well as the festival stages of Falls Festival, Yours & Owls, Fairgrounds, Farmer and the Owl and Grow Your Own ensuring they know how to enthral a crowd - and they will this winter.

At some point in roughly 2004, Adelaide rock band THINKTANK disappeared. Maybe it was a "hiatus"? Perhaps an extended break? Potentially a break-up, but without a final show, no ever really knew. Now , Almost twenty years later...... It's time to revisit where their hearts started, to remember those convictions still held, and to stand right beside you singing. One last time. SERAPHS COAL - The resurrection is over but don't be sad. Seraphs are saying thankyou to all the people who made the shows so special by doing one final show. They will be headlining the night and to help celebrate they've just released a new (old) record. "OUT OF TIME" is a collection of songs written in the mid to late 90's, freshened up and recorded at Ghost Note Studios in January 2020. ANTISKEPTIC - It’s been over ten years since the original lineup of rock band Antiskeptic finished up after a ten year career that spanned a massive 1000 shows worldwide. So, it is with HUGE excitement that we can announce the return of this much loved trio to Adelaide, one of their most requested cities to visit. With a newfound fire and passion burning brighter than ever, this is not just a reunion - ANTISKEPTIC ARE BACK. S.T.R -These guys need no introduction. One of Adelaide's hardest working pop punk bands threw in the towel around 2005 and promised to never play again. We were told over and over a sold out reunion in 2011 was "more than enough" & "you're a glutton for punishment", but here we are. We also hear from the grapevine there might be a vinyl of "When Words Fail" released for the show. This massive night will be opened up by no other than Adelaide's MOVE TO STRIKE, also reforming for one more goodbye. Friday May 29, The Gov - Adelaide - Doors 7pm ONE SHOW ONLY. 50 Minute Sets from all 4 headliners. Bands from 720pm. Tickets on sale 9am (SA Time) March 12th from www.chopdogentertainment.com.au and www.oztix.com.au. Set your alarm, because these will not last long.

For the first time in its illustrious 15 year history, game-changing house and techno party Kaluki is to host its own Ibiza residency. Every Friday from 3rd July - 25th September, the colourful crew will call Octan's intimate basement home, and promise to fill it with cutting edge DJs and real music lovers from all over the world.  Kaluki started out 15 years ago as a weekly party in Manchester at the celebrated Sankeys club. In the time since, the brand has gone on to establish itself on the world stage with sell out shows across the huge events such as Blue Marlin Ibiza, The BPM Festival, The Warehouse Project and Parklife in the UK, and clubs like Privilege Ibiza and Blue Marlin in the UAE as well as numerous tours of North & South America. Octan is the site of former club Sankeys Ibiza so this is, of sorts, a return to the spiritual home of Kaluki which adds another layer of intrigue. The club itself has fantastic, specially commissioned artwork all outside and inside the club, as well as a world class sound system designed to deliver the music in crystal clear clarity. It is sleek and futuristic in its styling and is one of the most talked about new spaces on the White Isle.  Get first access to the line ups ahead of tickets going on sale and win a weekend in Ibiza for the Kaluki opening party!

Kaluki Announces First Ever Weekly Ibiza Residency at Octan

"“Cynical Serene” is typically, wondrously PEARS. It’s 139 seconds of punk fury with a vocal breakdown seemingly recorded in scenic Laurel Canyon, California, enhanced by bongloads of righteous boo. And while you may be familiar with the band’s brevity and velocity, you’re going to wonder what happened at the end of the song. (Spoiler alert: That’s where the “serenity” comes in.)."  -ALTERNATIVE PRESS   “PEARS high energy tracks have stemmed from their deeply seeded punk roots that have defined a resurgence for their musical scene with their own brand of hardcore-punk.” - HYSTERIA MAGAZINE  Some of history’s best punk bands came and went before they had a chance to get comfortable (and boring), so it’s not surprising that PEARS frontman Zach Quinn had doubts when it came time to record the band’s third full-length. While PEARS have only existed since 2014, maybe a couple LPs and hundreds of explosive live shows were enough? “I was perfectly prepared to have my Blue Album already,” Quinn says, laughing. “That whole fucking cliché of ‘Our best record’s behind us.’ With the release of PEARS on Fat Wreck Chords), Quinn says, “Maybe not!” But there’s no maybe about it. PEARS is a significant step forward for a band that has grown by leaps and bounds on each album. Recorded with Chris Fogal (The Gamits) at Black in Bluhm Studio in Denver, PEARS is 14 songs and 31 minutes of the band’s signature hardcore: heavy, melodic, blistering, pointed, and surprisingly catchy. While it continues down the path set by Green Starand 2015’s Go to Prison, PEARS finds the band taking a different creative approach. “The last PEARS record, almost every detail was worked out before we ever stepped foot into the studio,” Quinn explains. “This record, we went in with skeletons of songs and put things together on the fly. ” “We never could afford the studio time to be in there 24/7,” adds guitarist/vocalist Brian Pretus. “A couple of songs ended up being stuff that we wrote on the spot.” Those include “Naptime,” which moves from loping pop to group-chant hardcore in the space of two minutes, and penultimate track “Traveling Time,” which Pretus describes as a “palate cleanser.” Basically, a mid-tempo pop song, “Traveling Time” began as a Quinn solo track but found its way onto PEARS thanks to the band’s more open studio approach.  “Collectively, we figured we’ve danced around pop music our entire career so far,” Quinn says, “but we were like, ‘Let’s just do a full-on fucking pop tune. Why not?” “Full on” is a good descriptor for PEARS in general. The album opens with feedback at the beginning of the riff-heavy “Killing Me” and closes when the even riff-heavier “Cynical Serene” (whose opening plays like Nirvana by way of Hum). In between are 12 songs that shake with can’t-sit-still energy, as the band—rounded out by the ace rhythm section of bassist Erich Goodyear and drummer Jarret Nathan—shifts on a dime between parts and sounds. Elements of prog and grunge intermingle with classic hardcore and hook-laden rock—and it can happen in the space of one song. (In this case, “Worm.”) Atop all of it are Quinn’s voice and words, which took a different approach as well on this album. “I thought that I was going to continue the absurdist poetry thing that started with Go to Prison and amplified on Green Star,” he says. Describing Green Star as “The Iliad with shit and cum,” Quinn notes that this time, “The songs are about shit.” Not shit in the “shit and cum” sense. Quinn writes directly about getting older (“Traveling Time”), moving past anger (“Nervous”), and the prospect of never having a family (“Daughter”), among other topics, all with the wit and candor PEARS fans have come to expect from the explosive frontman.  “It makes perfect sense that this is the third act, but it's not what I would have predicted it to be,” Quinn says. “I wouldn’t have guessed that the album would end on a bittersweet note. It’s more uplifting than either record that we’ve done, but it’s not a happy record.” It’s a great record regardless. PEARS will take it on the road extensively in the coming year, with tours in the U.S., Europe, Australia, Japan, and South America.
