Snap Scene: Mental As Anything & Taylor Sheridan, Caravan Music Club – 17th Sept 2017

September 21, 2017 Mary Boukouvalas
Nearly 40 years of recording and non stop touring. 25 top 40 hits in Australia. Sustained international airplay and Mentals are still at it. Martin Plaza and Greedy Smith are always writing songs. They can’t stop! Here comes a loony chunkabilly track from Plaza. Slide guitar harmonica and laconic vocal take us to his bedlam. -Goat Tracks In My Sandpit-. A troubled soul?

Recipe Scene: Rich Almond Cake

September 20, 2017 Kate Delbridge
This recipe is from Belinda Jeffery’s Tried and True recipe book. It is one of my absolute favourite cakes to eat – the page is covered with splatters, a testament to how many times I’ve cooked it.

Snap Scene: Pop Up Globe Theatre, Shakespeare Gardens, Melbourne – 13th September 2017

Among other things, we saw sword-wielding knights in full armour battle it out; fair maidens in beautiful gowns dancing a merry gig and even French counts in their Jacobean finery like its 1614.

Recipe Scene: Rosemary Shortbread

September 13, 2017 Kate Delbridge
I have absolutely no problem with the plethora of sweet, sugary food on offer for Christmas, but sometimes it is nice to have something savoury.

You can cut it into whatever shape you like, but I quite like the petticoat tails.

Q&A Scene: The Tommyhawks

September 8, 2017 Mandy Hall
Exploding with quirky, dramatic, trippy and heartfelt songs, This Is Not A Desert Island is the third EP from the Perth group. Set for release on Friday the 8th of September the EP explores the idea of trying to control one’s own state of mind and mental health… and often failing.
