No one knows for sure but we can say with utmost confidence that Australian hip-hop maestros TZU have re-entered the Earth's orbit with an insanely addictive new single Computer Love. This brilliant title track from their highly anticipated third album is an undeniable slice of electro/hip hop genius. Driven by pulsating bass line, ice cool vocal and manage a synth goodness, it takes TZU from the Block Party to the heart of dance floor and back in one artful swoop.

Jon English and Peter Cupples team up once again to bring you “Uncorked”

Uncorked is a project born out of an idea Jon English and Peter Cupples had whilst touring New Zealand with the 'Pirates of Penzance'. “We started doing gigs together to break the boredom, (as much as we loved it, eight shows a week of anything will get to you sooner or later)”. The show was only performed for the cast and crew, and instantly a wonderful rapport was
evident, not only between Jon and myself, but also all those present.

This acoustic show is very raw and natural. The main focus is to have fun, we don't take ourselves or each other too seriously. We don't have anything to prove to anyone, 'we've been there done that'. This is aboutentertainment.

Jon English is one of few Australian performers who has successfully combined a career in music, television and stage.
Talented, versatile, intelligent, driven by his love for his work and music, Jon is one of Australia's most successful recording and performing artists, a prolific songwriter, experienced screen composer and a popular actor with wide community recognition and critical acclaim.

Peter Cupples .formed the Masons Cure which later grew into Stylus. With great hits such as “Summer Breeze”, “Living in a world of make believe”.  Stylus were destined to move on to greater things. With the release of their next album (For the Love of music) the band found interest in America from Motown records. It was a great honour and thrill for the band to be the first all white band with Motown, and for Peter being the lead singer and songwriter it was pretty special.

As Stylus slowly broke up Peter started working on some new musical projects, resulting in the forming of The Peter Cupples Band through this the band made "Half the Effort Twice the Effect. Peter Cupples then decided to
release Changes.

Two of Australia's most revered entertainers, one bill, one night!

Everyone thinks they've got Southern California pegged - beautiful girls, quakes, traffic and sunshine. And
for the most part, they're right on the money, but if you really want to get the So Cal experience, you gotta
get off the hype and get a taste of UNWRITTEN LAW's good friends, SPRUNG MONKEY! San Diego
locals, SPRUNG MONKEY, have been hittin' it hard for well over a decade. From the early days of selling
CD's out of their trunk to their breakout success on MTV, SPRUNG MONKEY has kept true to their sound -
melodic, yet crunchy, poppy, yet kick-ass. Through the years, Sprung have become a staple in the x-treme
sports arena - appearing on the Van's Warped Tour, ESPN's X-Games and contributing tunes to countless
surf, skate and snowboarding films. SPRUNG MONKEY's biggest hit, ‘Get ‘Em Outta Here' became a
global alternative anthem!

THE MATCHES have no shortage of accolades under their belt. The video for ‘Salty Eyes’, the opening track from the band’s sophomore album ‘Decomposer’ (2006) was named the number-one video of the week by the editors of rollingstone.com, described
on spin.com as "…one of the best videos we've seen all year," and was named the runner-up Alternative Press reader's choice video of 2007!

Since 2002, THE MATCHES have been playing over 200 shows per year, and their live performances – raucous, sweat-drenched, and aerobic - should be seen, not read about (the THE MATCHES are of the opinion that unfiltered experience trumps flattering minibios
any day of the week). Initially, the band honed their skills and gained notoriety through guerilla concert-making: the band played impromptu shows in public
thoroughfares, venue queues, and school corridors, inciting a scene before fleeing.

Noiseworks shot to mainstream fame in 1986 with their debut single “No Lies”, which instantly became an ARIA top 20 hit.  Quickly following were chart anthems “Take me back”, “Love Somebody”, “Welcome to the world”, and “Burning Feeling”, all spawned from their debut album “Noiseworks”, which charted for over a year and basked in multiple platinum sales.

The band slogged it out on the road throughout Australia, playing to packed pubs everywhere they could, as well as supporting acts such as Bon Jovi, Paul Young and Jimmy Barnes.  Following the success of “Noiseworks”, the album “Touch” was released to an anxious public in November 1988.  The album entered straight into the top 10 on the ARIA charts, and remained in the charts for well into the following year.  The album also saw the band test international waters with a European tour.
Back in Australia, the relentless touring continued, as did the pressure to follow up two phenomenal albums.  “Love vs Money” was the product of their creativeness.  It was a diverse album, and instantly entered the charts at No.1.  Pre-sales alone saw the album become a platinum seller – with hits like “Freedom”,  “Miles and Miles”, “Hot Chilli Woman”, and “Take you higher”.

That original Cigars line-up brought together four like-minded experienced players, all veterans of Sydney inner-west blues venues, and from the word go, as the 1990 tracks demonstrate, the Cigars have been the very model of the ‘no passengers' band, a well-oiled machine plus soul: no room for slackers here. Always one of the country's hardest working outfits (on the road more than off), the Cigars have kept their music tight, hard-driving and down-to-earth: the Australian bar band par excellence.
