Interview: Singer Reece Mastin
Let’s start with the new single Rebel and the Reason. It’s been described to have more of an edgier, rock-laden sound than your previous songs. Why did you decide to change you up sound?
It’s always been something that I’ve wanted to do. I’ve always wanted to get the set that we do live into the studio and get it done properly. So yeah, I think it’s kind of a bit of touring and what I’ve always wanted to do.

Such a different sound from MIKA. I like it!

An Interview With Brooke McClymont
Brooke McClymont is one third of the award-winning country trio, The McClymonts along with her two sisters Sam and Mollie. Currently on their Forever Begins Tonight tour and promoting their fourth studio album Here’s To You & I, I spoke to Brooke about song writing, keeping it in the family and being on the road.
How is the Forever Begins Tonight tour going?
Oh my gosh, it’s going amazing. We’ve been touring since July last year but at the beginning of this year we decided to name it the Forever Begins Tonight tour clearly this is because the song just came out – it’s our new single – and it just felt like we do do it forever and we haven’t stopped. We wrap up the tour around mid-May but with a few festivals still up our sleeve throughout the end of the year.
Danny Elfman – Music from the Films of Tim Burton Concert
Date: March 14, 2015
Venue: Adelaide Entertainment Centre
I first discovered the music of film composer Danny Elfman back in 1986, when watching the cult classic Pee-wee’s Big Adventure on VHS one day. It was Elfman’s first film as a composer, having previously been lead singer of the new wave band Oingo Boingo. Tim Burton, who was also making his film debut with the movie, was a fan of the band and frequented many of their concerts in LA, and decided Elfman would be the perfect choice to score his movie. Despite having no experience in film music, he produced a unique, completely revolutionary score and in the process created a completely new approach to scoring films.
Cut to 30 years later and Elfman is now regarded as one of the best and most influential composers in Hollywood history, still working steadily today, with the 2015 releases 50 Shades of Grey and The Avengers: Age of Ultron on his list of credits this year.

The McClymonts – Going Under (Didn’t Have To)
To say I’m obsessed with this song right now would be an understatement.
I want no need to go see them in concert this year!
An Interview with Musician Damien Leith
Damien Leith first came onto our radar taking out the title of Australian Idol back in 2006. It’s been almost a decade since – and this ARIA-winner sure has been busy recording a total of 7 studio albums and publishing 2 novels. This month saw Damien release his 8th studio album Songs From Ireland – which is just that.
Congrats on the new album, Songs From Ireland. Why did you decide to record this kind of album this time around?
I’ve been meaning to record an album like this for a very long time. A number of years ago I wrote a play called The Parting Glass for the Adelaide Cabaret Festival and that show features a lot of these songs – seeing the reaction the music got was definitely the catalyst for recording this album.
Jasmine Rae – Heartbeat
It’s new! I cannot wait for the album!
