Ruben Guthrie

From Oceans Never Listen, Posted May, 7th 2008

Ruben Guthrie continues the fine tradition of exciting Australian theatre that entertains on a consistent basis at the Belvoir Theatre. Showing, although for not much longer, in the intimate downstairs theatre as part of the B Sharp season, this play is sharp and perceptive, funny and compassionate. A thorough success for acclaimed actor Brendan Cowell, who was commissioned to write this play after winning the Philip Parsons Young Playwright's Award in 2005. He has certainly done a fine job with...

[Snake & Jet's Amazing Bullit Band]

From Both Sides of the Mouth, Posted May, 7th 2008

"Count the money baby! Count they money baby!"As my shirt boldly proclaims, Denmark's the spot! Lately, that coastal country in Northern Europe has been the source of a few good surprises, and this Copenhagen-based band can attest to that. Despite the imagery of a large, amazingly bullity band, Snake & Jet's Amazing Bullit Band is only two people - Snake and Jet, or in actuality, Thomas and Thor. Together, the duo mix about wurlitzer keys, harmonicas, drums, vintage synths and...

Josh Ritter @ The Belcourt Theater, Nashville, TN

From Its Hard to Find a Friend, Posted May, 7th 2008

At the climax of last night's show, Josh Ritter joyously commented on how amazing it was to play in such a historic place, asked that all the lights in the entire theater be taken down, and played, arguably the most striking song in his catalogue, The Temptation of Adam, to several hundred silent listeners. There are no windows or places for light to escape in the big, old, haunted original home of the Grand Old Opry. Ritter's voice and acoustic...

Noah and the Whale live radio sessions

From The Daily Growl, Posted May, 7th 2008

My first inkling of Noah and the Whale occurred back at the End of the Road Festival in 2006. Emmy the Great announced herself and backing band ? consisting of Jeremy Warmsley and Charlie Fink ? as ?Emmy and the Whale?. This was the first time I set eyes on Charlie, and a fine sight he was, as he picked at an amusing furry bass. The next time I saw him was a month or so later at what must...
