Q&A Scene: Brooke Penrose – Saint Jude for Reservoir Stomp

October 19, 2017 Mandy Hall
Melbourne’s Saint Jude shamelessly wear a rhythm and soul tapestry of influences on their sleeves. Reminiscent of the Muscle Shoals and Shangri-La eras of rhythm-drenched country-soul and rock’n’roll, Saint Jude ring out in a mess of jangling guitars, swirling organ and tapered four-piece gospel harmonies that have become synonymous with their dynamic live show. Born out of Melbourne’s country and rhythm scene, Saint Jude debuted in 2011 to rave reviews as a PBS FM’s album of the week, with The Age’s Jo Roberts contending that ‘[they’re] one of the best new bands you’ll hear all year’.

A key figure in the evolution of punk, Glen Matlock’s name has been indelibly printed in the annals of rock history. A founding member of the Sex Pistols and the man who was replaced by Sid Vicious, as well as one of the main songwriters on their one and only album Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols, Matlock rejoined the band for the Filthy Lucre reunion tour in 1996 and subsequent reunion shows in the years since then.

Recipe Scene: Lemon Yoghurt Drizzle Cake

I love the combination of citrus and yoghurt in a cake. When this cake has the lemon drizzle poured over it it looks great, especially of prepared in a bundt tin. If using a bundt just be careful to grease vey generously and then dust with flour as this will help the cake come out. If it does stick – and it does happen – a good way to get it out is to cover the top of the tin with foil and place in the kitchen sink.

Review Scene: Alison Moyet

October 17, 2017 Angie Valcanis
Alison Moyet began “The Other Tour” with the poetic April 10th- an apt introduction highlighting her new sound and approach to her career. Flanked on both sides by two keyboard/guitarists her powerhouse voice (foundation of her creativity) commanded its way throughout the whole set.
